Ori and Undertale would have no shot. Those games aren't up there with Cuphead, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight. There's no way I'd take Dragon Age or Octopath Traveler over FFXV.

Dark Souls is scary because I can be attacked from the menu screen. Eff that.

And RE7 definitely isn't VR only. My impression was that the game marketed itself largely as the first AAA VR game...so I could get the confusion here, but yeah, no VR required per say.

Well, it looks like I was decidedly wrong about Mass Effect 2 being a no-hoper to win the division. Which is great for my bracket, so I have no problem being wrong! I still expect RE2 to win, though - this is a stellar performance against DOOM.

Switching from Borderlands to Horizon is another "listen to Board 8" pick that worked out. Thanks, y'all.

RE2 was a typo, but still, I don't know anybody who played RE7 in VR. Sure, journalists did, but a vast, vast, VAST majority of people who played that game have never done so in VR.

The idea of it being VR exclusive is hilarious and is just another match on the pole of how out of touch you have been, lol.

Not that we didn't know from that hilarious Nintendo franchise power ranking.
Not playing a shitty horror game series makes me "out of touch"? The only coverage I saw was people circlejerking over the shitty VR experience, so I can be excused for not caring enough to follow up any further

The puzzling thing is this has been BT's modus operandi for like, 15 years, but he hasn't changed one iota while literally every other user I know has at least a little bit. He's like a time capsule we dig up every year. There has been no evolution. It's so strange.

I think there's some belief that the two FE games should be about equivilant in strength.

Considering the enormous social media explosion of 3H and the still very active community, I doubt that severely.

I'm way more active in discussions during contest season, so I can't help but notice him return and triple down on the troll gimmick that's at least a decade too old. He can drop the shtick and be normal, and this community would probably treat him normally inside of a week, but he won't. It says something (sad) about a guy that he's stunted and immature enough to still get his jollies this way.

Edit: exactly what XIII said. We've had like 100 antagonistic trolls over two decades. He's the only one who hasn't either grown up or left.

does ME2 have any experience defeating strand games
Some wound contend that ME2 has experience being defeated by strand games. Personally, I am of the opinion that it is impossible to even comprehend having experience defeating or being defeated by strand games, for strand games are fundamentally ineffable.

It's free advertising. It's like saying "look they want it so it must be good". Trails of Cold Steel didn't do that and it flopped badly compared to Persona 5 while being as good imo.

I am on the Leaderboard bitches! For the first and last day since I made 2 mistakes here. Oh well. It was a toss up between B2 and HZD but I didn't expected FEA to lose to B.
Well as per tradition I managed to reach the leaderboard on this contest too. But overall this is my worst performance contest evar.
