BOTTOM 112 — Week 2 — Poll 28

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

With apologies to the cute Shining series progenitor, in these later rounds I'm casting votes for the strong narrative exemplars whenever I can, especially when they're up against stripped-down games that aren't the best in their genre or series. Shining is a cute curiosity, a beginner-friendly dungeon-crawler with a great interface, not bogged down by complicated RPG tropes. But New Vegas is the last great Fallout game, in the mix for best in the series, and one of the great story-driven RPGs of our time.
