This is the bracket so far with the final 4 set. A lot of questionable upsets. I’m salty as frick that Witcher 3 got crushed so hard by GOW. I haven’t played GOW but had W3 as my winner and personal favorite game. I think it’s going to be between BOTW and GOW with BOTW finished on top.


Oh and burnout 3 over chrono trigger

I’ve also never played Batman: Arkham City but it seems like a frickin stretch for it to make top 8 and beat out dark souls in the process

Classic games won't have a chance (like Chrono Trigger) when a significant portion of the voters never played it.

Goldeneye is a fricking 10 seed? Jesus Christ.

All I need to see is Ocarina of Time is a 4 Seed to know this entire thing is garbage.

This list is horrific, and I wonder if the person who made this has ever played a video game in their life.

I’m sorry, it’s a dumpster fire from the start. No Final Fantasy VI or Link to the Past, the tournament is irrelevant. Honestly I think you’d need a tournament of 256 games.

Halo 2 as a 5 seed is terrible

Skyrim being a 13 seed is a travesty

fan voting is kind of a joke for something like this. But how the hell was Final Fantasy VII a 15 seed

Haven’t most older gamers stopped going to IGN? Their credibility hasn’t been great over the past 10 years.

God of War beating The Witcher and Skyrim, GTFO. Unless I'm blind, I don't see Red Dead 2? I see the first one.

Outside of GTA:SA, which does humor me a bit.

But yeah, I normally try to avoid shitting on "kids these days", but this list is fricking rough

4 games considered to be the greatest and most influential games of all time all lost in the first round...Mario 64, Super Mario World, Goldeneye, and Ocarina of Time lol.

KOTOR loses to New Vegas? Half-Life 2 loses to Tomb Raider?

Good lord

There is no way Ocarina of Time and Skyrim should ever face each other in round 1 of such a tournament.

Same for BOTW and FF7.

Smash Bros Ultimate is also too low of a seed.

Man this is trash. Obviously there’s recency bias and people aren’t considering the games in the scope of their time.

ETA: Now I’ve looked at the seeding. That made it even worse. Skyrim is a 13 despite having a solid argument for being the best RPG of all time. People still play the shite out of it 10 years later.
