    what do yall think about how to handle round two?

    im thinking we keep it at 8 parts, with only 4 matchups per thread as these are much bigger matchups that will prob generate more debate and discussion

    I think GTAV is pretty damn great but Bad Company II is all killer no filler and maybe the best online multiplayer console shooter of all time. Otherwise this hasn’t been hard for me.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (122) - Never played this game but I'm not voting for a game that put a literal casino into its online component lol

    Dark Souls III (71) - Easy. Uncharted 2 has not aged well at all (and never really was worth all of the massive, GOTY-sized hype that it initially got in the first place). Dark Souls III is the best of the Souls trilogy and concludes that saga in a really masterful way.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (103) - I know there's no way in hell this is gonna win but screw it. Sekiro is maybe my second-favorite Sekrioulsborne game (after Bloodborne) solely because of its incredible world and lore. The gameplay is also brilliant, of course, but I relished every second I spent exploring Ashina and just taking everything in.

    God of War II (90) - Tough call as I really enjoy both of these games but I just like God of War more, personally.

    Star Fox 64 (119) - One of these games is infinitely more fun to actually play than the other.

    Metroid Prime (55) - In a battle of the first games in their respective franchises (or, sub-franchise I guess in Prime's case), Metroid Prime takes the W. I love the first R&C but it's vastly outclassed by both of its direct sequels in every imaginable way. Prime is still arguably the best of the Prime trilogy and remains proof that the Metroidvania formula can be made to work in 3D, something that really wasn't a thing prior to this game.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (23) - Easy choice. Mass Effect 1 doesn't really hold up in terms of a lot of its gameplay, despite the story and characters being great. Smash Ultimate is the final evolution of one of the most beloved game franchises of all time.

    Golden Sun (42) - I love God of War but it can't touch one of the greatest JRPGs of all time.

    GTA V

    Dark Souls 3 -
    I will beat this god damn game someday, it is fantastic and way better than the 1st one.

    Fire Emblem : Awakening - I love all Fire Emblem games

    Burnout 3 - Burnout is pretty much the only racing game series I enjoy. I guess it's not even a pure racing game though.

    Star Fox 64 - Haven't touched this game in decades but I remember loving it a ton as a kid.

    Metroid Prime

    Smash Ultimate

    Fully expected to be the only vote for Sekiro, I'm happy to have comrades in being correct. Not all truth-tellers are recognized as such in their own lifetimes.

    I don’t even like the first two God of War games that much they’re just up against games I either haven’t played or think are bad.

    Figured I'd ask this here among gamer nerds that would know....I was playing an Infected game on COD last night and it got me wondering.....was Time Splitters 2 a pioneer in this game mode? It's the first game I remember ever playing that had an infected game mode, but I also wasn't some epic gamer so I'm sure there are games out there I don't know about.

    Infected on Time Splitters 2 was so much fun though

    I honestly thought Sekiro was a shoe in for round 2. Combat in that game is executed better than any game ever.

    PS2 God of War is so underrated on here.

    Also wtf at The Last of Us losing to Star Fox...

    That's easily the most fucked up thing that's happened so far..
