Horizon/Fortnite says more about Fortnite's strength than anything else.

Borderlands looks like it's getting exposed though, which matters more.

Same.

After realizing Horizon was around P5's level of strength and Fortnite being totally irrelevant in the site's polls, as well as seeing Dragon Quest's hyper blowout, anything lower than a tripling seemed low.

The Borderlands brand has lost a lot of cache over the years. The humour didnt age well, Gearbox is a wreck, Randy Pitchford is a wreck, and so on.

Yeah, precontest I thought Horizon would do fine based on good GotY showing here and being rather liked and hopefully recent enough to not have been forgotten entirely while I expected BL2 to have fallen from grace quite a bit.

Would Mass Effect 2 only doubling RE7 be a disappointing result?

Horizon is down there wrecking shop. I mean yah Fornite is prime antivote fodder, but you don't just accidentally quadruple something without being strong yourself.

I mean, I kind of expected a minimum blowout of at least 75% for this match. The closest comparison I could find to Fortnite's strength would be something like Hearthstone, which was badly destroyed by OoT in 2015 and I figured Fortnite may be as weak or even weaker than Hearthstone. The only difference is that Horizon is nowhere close to OoT's strength, so there was a limit on how high it could go here.

Borderlands has 60% of the Canada vote, which appears to be the main reason it isn't losing. It's 50-50 in the US.

If you wanna stay on the "indies are so legit now train", then Fallout looks great.

But I believe Berseria and TWD to be that weak as well. It might not mean much. RE is certainly a good brand name.

Hey I have no dislike for Borderlands. Not my type of game at all but I understand why people love it.
You are saying word for word how I feel about Castlevania games lol

I see why people love them, just I don't.

Not all indies are born the same. Hollow Knight very easily could in the top 3 or 5 strongest indies in the bracket. I highly doubt V has the same sauce.

Regardless of what you think about Fortnite, the game has gotten huge for a reason and is still very active to this day.

To see it get demolished like this can only mean it's getting tons of anti-votes. This isn't just irrelevance, it's hatred.

Of all the results from today's matches, the only one that looks off to me is ME2/RE7.

Maybe RE7 is a lot stronger than I gave it credit for, but this doesn't look too good for ME2.

Everything else going as expected.
