BOTTOM 320 — Week 4 — Poll 1

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!

CTR is a fantastic Mario Kart clone that many would argue does it better.

Couldn't get into the pre PS4 God of War titles, but that may be down to my own indifference to the beat em up genre as a whole.

Voting for God of War here. CTR is fine. Better than most entries in the Mario Kart series. But it's a kart racer at the end of the day, with little in the way of lasting appeal. These earlier Gods of War definitely have their narrative weaknesses, but as puzzle-action-adventure games, and big cinematic action set-piece games they are fantastic spectacle. I actually prefer the first entry for much the same reason I prefer Portal 1 over Portal 2 (tighter structure, better pacing).
