Fallout's performance would be considered a disappointment if we hadn't been surprised by indie games' performances in earlier matches. Now it just looks like an ordinary beatdown.

Was pretty sure Fortnite would lose hard here. Took Horizon very high in the oracle. As it turns out, I apparently didn't... I remember doing them and copy/pasting my percentage for Bloodborne into my crew write-up, but it would appear I didn't actually post it here, or some error happened or whatever. That sucks >_> I only learned this because I wanted to check how close I actually was, so at this that means I don't miss tomorrow as well. I had Horizon at 80.something, so much for that. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was asleep for the RE talk but 7 would easily beat 3. 3 is the lowest selling numbered game, even behind 0 when you consider ports. It is also low in the rankings more generally. This is all before the remake comes out of course!

The general trend for Latin America is that all things Playstation are really strong here, especially actions series such as Castlevania and Resident Evil. I'd wager Bloodstained may be getting a Castlevania boost.

Looking a bit closer, the anglosphere seems to be propping BL2 up. Not just the US, but the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, even South Africa. Ireland is below the average for BL2 but it is still winning. Thats interesting.
I think BL2 is stronger than FFXV in the contest of weakest GotY winner also. Both BL2 and Bloodstained come away looking alright. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still think Horizon breaking 80% on Fortnite is kinda impressive. Yes Fortnite is probably fodderous af on GFAQs but you don't break 80 on something without having some decent strength of your own.

I think Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Edith Finch and similar type of game Firewatch ....etc All will lose first round because people here dont like to vote for them because they consider them walking simulator and nowadays that is a big offense, a major flaw.

I think as story-driven adventure games go, LiS may end up being the strongest. TWD crashed due to many much discussed factors, and Journey looked like garbage before. LiS didnt look DREADFUL in 2015 snd should be a good bit stronger.

Telltale really should've focused their resources into 2-3 strong series instead of going wide. And this is coming from a huge Telltale fan. I loved their take on TWD, Wolf Among Us, Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. But any indie author will tell you that you build a fanbase by writing a trilogy or series, not by writing a bunch of standalone books with series potential. Many audiences won't even touch a series until it's completed for fear of getting permanently stuck with a cliffhanger ending (See: Game of Thrones books). --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ...
