Bloodborne Final Fantasy VI Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Mass Effect 2 Shadow of the Colossus Call of Duty: Black Ops Bioshock Shovel Knight
Max Payne 3 FF VI Dishonored Mass Effect 2 Shadow of the Colossus Rocket League Bioshock Shovel Knight
Bloodborne Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Mass Effect 2 Shadow of the Colossus Rocket League Bioshock Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
What Remains of Edith Finch BioShock N/A for all other matchups. Looks like Edith is gonna lose but I adore that game to pieces, really blown away by it the first time I played it
Bloodborne (3) - The best game of the current generation and one of the best games of all time. Max Payne 3 is really good and underrated though. Final Fantasy VI (67) - Trash matchup, this really sucks. FFVI is the better game here though. Sad to see KOTOR out this early. Dishonored (99) - Gen 2 is already represented in the second round. Dishonored deserves some love. Person 4 Golden (94) - Haven’t played P4G but in hindsight, knowing what becomes of the Mass Effect story in 3, all those choices you make in Me2 are ultimately rendered meaningless so I’m not voting for it. Shadow of the Colossus (14) - Haunting and beautiful. A game that really makes you question the act of playing it in the first place. It’s one of the best pieces of evidence that video games are art that has ever been made. Call of Duty: Black Ops (51) - Never got into Rocket League. Black Ops is my favorite CoD game of all time so it gets the win. Bioshock (19) - Nothing really to say here, it’s just a classic and it deserves to move on. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (83) - Without this game we wouldn’t have any of the awesome MARIO RPGs that have come out since the SNES era. And it’s a great game in its own right as well.
Apparently Bluepoint knocked it out of the park with that remaster. Haven’t played it myself yet though. I just really hope the rumors are true that Sony was so pleased with the SotC remaster that they assigned Bluepoint to remaster Demon’s Souls next.
it looks and runs great. i think there was some pretty awful motion blur turned on by default but after removing that it was perfect.
Bloodborne FF6 - not my favorite FF but I think it's the best overall. I love the cast of characters and has one of the best video game villains ever. Still need to do a second playthrough. Pokemon - I stopped after second Gen, I'll always love these games. Persona Shadow of the Colossus Black Ops (solely for Nazi zombies) Bioshock Super Mario RPG - currently playing through this one, I swear I'll finish it this time.
Bloodborne Final Fantasy VI Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver NA Shadow of the Colossus NA NA Shovel Knight I love Shadow of the Colossus very much. Still havent finished the remake since the game crashed as I beat the 14th colossus and I just didnt want to go back, but it still had a huge influence on me when I originally played it.
Bloodborne Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Dishonored [99] Mass Effect 2 Shadow of the Colossus Rocket League Resident Evil 2 Shovel Knight
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Mass Effect 2 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars The rest I don’t think I can properly vote for because I don’t care either way.
Bloodborne match 50 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Mass Effect 2 Shadow of the Colossus Rocket League Bioshock Shovel Knight Anyone who votes differently this round is a narc.
Bloodborne - I'm going to beat it this year motherfuckers Final Fantasy 6 - Very close to my favorite FF game, a game I wish more people would experience these days, to think it came out in 1994 is absolutely mind blowing. N/A Persona 4 Golden - Was playing this until my Vita died, loved everything about it. N/A Rocket League N/A Super Mario RPG - One of the greatest RPGs to ever be made, should be played by absolutely everyone on planet earth.
i just realized i never voted. and because i am me, i am gonna let me vote. before looking at results or tallying: Bloodborne FFVI Soulsilver n/a Edith Finch Rocket League n/a Super Mario RPG
a note before proceeding: runnin' right down the bracket like this resulted in a lot of top heaviness, and some of these second round matchups are a bit of the same, so for round two i may cherry pick 4 matchups for each thread to keep at least one or two of the bigger matchups in each one. we are getting considerably less votes than we were in the first four threads and i wanna mitigate that.
