Poll of the Day > Just noticed I actually lost a finalist from my bracket...

(+) Yeah! (+)

The greying out of entries that have already been taken out is a nice visual touch.

Guess I really misjudged the obvious meme this year...

---

I mean the contest is basically a sham. Having Trails in the Sky SC lose in the first round to Dragon Quest XI is evident of this.
But this has always been the case.

---

Theres a stupid meme every year and its impossible to predict. I fucking hate these contests and these stupid voters

---

the only reason people hate it, is because they finally have to face reality that their favorite game is actually quite shitty

---

You mean considered shitty by other people?

I am well aware of that and was not expecting the majority of my nominees to get even into the tournament. Few suprises though on the ones already out (not surprised by them making it in).

---

Right. When any intelligent person makes a bracket for this contest, its never going to be about whats your favorite, its going to be about what you think the people will vote for.

but even when you think you can predict these idiots, they still throw you for a loop.

but I totally must be butthurt that my favorite game isnt winning, right?

Not trying to start anything with you, but I'm honestly a bit confused at you calling people idiots because you couldn't predict what they'd pick.

That more seems like you're not a mind reader or not 'in touch' with the people voting than anyone being an idiot to me.

eh Ill say youre a little correct, I shouldnt be calling them all idiots. But these are the same voters who gave Undertale the Best Game Ever award like 4 years ago because it was a fucking meme game. And this year it doesnt even make it past the first round. Just saying.

Is this because of Animal Crossing losing to stupid cowboy game?

I had that one losing its next round, nowhere near a finalist in my bracket.

That's a pretty reasonable response. Fair.

A finalist down already? Which game? I have two divisional winners knocked out by now, but I never thought either would get past the quarterfinals.

Kingdom Hearts III, genuinely thought it would do better.

I'm not trying to call it a bad game here, but it was unfortunately overhyped from what I saw. A mix of being a KH game and then the wait time I think.

I don't dislike the game, but it definitely feels like a lot of people got way too hyped for it and it was basically destined to disappoint many.

I don't.
I am writing this message as I am playing Sen 3 btw.
SC is in my top 5 games of all time. Honestly it might be #2 behind Chrono Trigger.
