no one knows what genre or classification anything is anymore

we can't even agree on what an RPG is now...!

We all know that Zelda games are RPGs.

Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket.
At least I finished 20th overall!

I guess I should add Talos Principle to the 'Just Happy To Be Here' list? I actually have no idea what it is and I know basically everything in this bracket.
It's a science fiction themed puzzle game. Definitely counts as "just happy to be here," and I'm definitely just happy it's here.

VVVVVV's gonna do decent but I don't think it's beating FO4.

Cuphead upsetting GTAV is where the fearmongering should go.

yeah I think this is more of an indictment of TWD (which wasn't great in 2015 to begin with) than Bastion showing any real strength

Fallout 4 at least showed out well against Witcher 3 in 2015 GOTY

I'd love to see VVVVVV beat it though!

Vvvvvv and Cuphead are losing those matches, full stop. GTAV is probably the strongest GTA at this point

This is hugely divergent, but the way the DooM and Animal Crossing fanbases came together gave me good vibes for like a month. Those seem like two of gaming's better communities.

Fallout 4 has 'anti-vote me' pasted on its back. It rode a lot of hype when it came out but time and public opinion has been VERY harsh to it. Though depending on your viewpoint FO76 has either taken that burden off 4's back, or has just exasperated the problem.

youd never heard of Bastion? Fuck, play Bastion! Its still probably my favorite indie game almost ten years later

im so mad at myself, I totally had Bastion originally then got convinced to switch by the board. I figured maybe my pick was biased by my love of the game. oh well

Bastion does seem like it'd be in my wheelhouse, looking at the summaries and such on Google. I might have to add that to my quarantine-gaming slate.

Meanwhile, DQ is out here flipping the defiant bird to Witcher 3, Skyrim, Dark Souls, the lot of em - like they dodged one helluva bullet.

Well said. It could have had a wild run in the bottom half of the bracket, if these numbers are any indication.

yeah I think Fallout 4 will be weaker than it appeared in 2015 but it'd have to have really tanked to lose to VVVVVV

but I'm already questioning everything I thought I knew and we're barely 24 hours in

I was specifically choosing TWD here because of its performance against Uncharted 2.

Are we assuming Uncharted 2 is fodder or what?

I don't think there's an indie game better equipped to embarrass GTAV than Cuphead. Even if you haven't played it, that's a really easy art style to throw an anti-establishment vote towards.

I mean, it'd do fine, but again, don't take anything away from this quadrupling other than Trails SC is really weak (which should have been expected!).

Really REALLY wanted FFXV in this side of the division. The very sight of DQXI devouring FFXV would have been an amazing sight.

Ah well.

It wasn't necessarily fodder, but it was a low midcarder. It was going to get 60/40'd at least by Sonic 2, which only got 53% on Portal 2 the round before.

If you're saying CUphead will be competitive agaisnt GTAV....then what about Red Dead or P4?

And i do agree. Eiter way the winner of RDR/P4G takes out GTAV. Especailly RDR. P4G might need a bit more work.

I gave Cuphead some thought. I mean it could pull it off. But that match will determine how well GTAV does in the next match

I do have it losing to RDR but we'll see.

If it means P4G beats btoh RDR and GTAV...let my bracket for that division die.

RDR is lower in the Rockstar hierarchy. If RDR beats Persona, it won't beat GTAV.

For what it's worth, Ng, Leon, and I talked about pretty much all of these possibilities on the 14 and a half hour long first episode of the podcast. I fully admit to crapping myself out the starting blocks here, but I won't have anyone say "we never saw it coming"!

yeah we did talk up a lot of indie games that could potentially score an upset

I just didn't pick a lot of them myself...!
