Board 8 > FOURPACK OF FUN: Baba/Ghost Trick + XCOM 2/FTL

(+) Yeah! (+)

We have a debatable four-pack in the actual contest starting next round, so let's go ahead and see where we're at with their first-round appetizers from today.

I think XCOM 2 wins

As for the other match, I guess I'll take the game the Ace Attorney dudes made over uh...yeah I don't know what Baba is You really is to be honest.

Wtf is this poll

These options aren't mutually exclusive

No snark intended: I can't tell from your post if you think I made a mistake in the poll or if you don't know how fourpacks work on this board.

#1 XCOM 2
#2 Ghost Trick
Both are excellent.
Haven't played Baba.
FTL sucks.

XCOM > Baba if forced to vote in all matches, XCOM > Ghost Trick if forced apathy isn't a thing.

---

I think XCOM crushes the other three.

I feel like FTL is probably the weakest, since it's only appeals to a really small niche.

That said Baba is one of only two games in the bracket that I hadn't heard of prior so it could be the weakest

---

I went with XCom > Baba, I think Baba narrowly edges out Ghost Trick, it's a little newer and I think it got a decent amount of mainstream hype for being a really unique puzzle game, a lot of people streamed it and stuff, and it just has a funny name that makes it memorable - there isn't a lot there but I think it's probably got a better playrate than Ghost Trick which is very much like a B8 champion that most people aren't going to know

XCom 2 seems like it should be a head above the other three, although probably not by much. I wouldn't be all that surprised if FTL took the fourpack somehow, there isn't really any reason for it not to.

Upsy-daisy.

No I just completely misread this sorry, I didn't realize what you were asking

Eggscom is probably the strongest here... I guess? It's so not the site's kinda game though

---

S'all good man!

---

I think Cuphead is being overrated here. At this moment, Cuphead needs to get about 35% on GTAV in order for XCOM > Baba to be a thing in the X-stats, and that feels iffy to me.

---

Cuphead may not win, but I feel strongly it will break 40% and I like its chances okay for the #cupset.

---

I don't quite get the options. How do I read them?

---

The match placement of the fourpack is weird. I think the biggest point of debate here is FTL vs Ghost Trick, and you didn't let them face each other. If most people agree XCOM is the strongest and Baba is the weakest it produces the result we are seeing, but still says nothing about FTL vs GT.

Do you think Cuphead's weaker than Shenmue?

If I think FTL's the strongest and XCOM's the second strongest, which option do I vote for?

---

Feel welcome to just say __ > __ > __ > __. I did think XCOM and FTL were the two strongest entrants here but I was seeing some conversations about GT in there too so I tried to shake it up like so. Ah well!

---

For me it's XCOM > FTL > Ghost > Baba.

---

No one's played BABA? wow.

---

I was thinking FTL > XCOM 2 > GT > Baba before yesterday...but now I'd probably flip to XCOM 2 > FTL.

Baba is You is neat! I think its difficulty curve spiked too fast early on and I wasn't ready for it, but it's a fun flavor of a thing and definitely unique.

It's okay. Good job on making the poll, anyway. I made one for FTL vs GT, and I'm going to post both in Zen's thread.
