[Bonfires Down]

I wonder who will win.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Oh cool, it'd been a while since I'd seen Kratos murder a helpless innocent.

 

[MrS]

God of War shits on it from great heights. OW is still a good game though.

 

[diffusionx]

God of War is the most overrated game of the generation, but it's still better than Outer Wilds.

 

[MasterCornholio]

That's a bit unfair in my opinion.

 

[Strategize]

Question, I'll post it in both these threads, why did you decide to do this in a bracket and not just a larger poll like the GOTY threads?

I'm just looking at the bracket, and there's a couple of games in there that have tough matches in the first or second round that could do better in the another format (TLOU2 vs P5 and Bloodborne vs Sekiro come to mind, two of those 4 getting rounded is brutal). It's not really voting for your overall game of the gen, rather just individual matches.

 

[Agnostic2020]

tlou2

 

[Vawn]

Lmao. Is this poll even necessary?

 

[GHG]

The Outer Wilds never stood a chance. And it's a shame because it's a game that deserves a lot of recognition.

 

[IKSTUGA]

Boy wins.

 

[GamerEDM]

this comparison makes no sense , comparing a AAAA studio to a AA studio

Anthem or Hollow Knight?

 

[iorek21]

One of the hardest face-offs here.

Outer Wilds is simply amazing and somewhat innovative.

God of War is the best PS4 exclusive.

Very hard choice

 

[Bo_Hazem]

WTF is Outer Wilds?

 

[Justin9mm]

This is a stupid comparison thread.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Fortnite should win. TLoU2/Apex/Cuphead/GOW are my favorites. Dreams is the actual winner. Too bad about the shitty controllers.

 

[Rikoi]

Not even a contest here

WTF is Outer Wilds?

A really great experience. You should try it.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

A really great experience. You should try it.

Googled it, seems like a fun game. But how could someone put that with GOW?

 

[lynux3]

Both.

A 1st round it's a 1st round. Yeah Roger Federer also gets to play with some 200 ATP ranking tenis player in a Grand Slam too

Ey don't take merits off from the little ones!

 

[.Pennywise]

Both.

If just life could be so easy

 

[Northeastmonk]

Honestly, that wasn’t hard at all. You should have picked a more impactful game like Fallout 4.

Edit: fixed

 

[Bernd Lauert]

If we go by memorability, Outer Wilds wins hands down.

 

[VCL]

halo reach

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Such a hard matchup

 

[drotahorror]

Wanted to play Outer Wilds but the PC port is locked to 60 and feels absolutely awful. Not because it's 60fps but because of some other fuckery they never fixed.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

God of War is the most overrated game of the generation, but it's still better than Outer Wilds.

I do not agree, GoW was generation defining. The combat, the story, the graphics were all premium. It is anything but overrated.

 

[JLB]

I wonder how many of the voters actually played both games. I have to say that played both, but since i dont own a ps4, played much more of OW. Maybe these elections should be somehow restricted to owners of both platforms.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

That will be the most brutal beating in the god of war series.

Unlucky pairing for OW

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

God Of War

 

[Pejo]

God of War was probably my favorite Sony 1st party exclusive this gen, it was really damn good.

However in this case both a PS4 only owner and a PC only owner (via PS Now) could've played those games. It's impossible to restrict votes and btw it's only a poll on a videogame community, it's not that important anyway.

 

[Craig of War]

A Indie Game vs. a AAA blockbuster 1st party studio Sony game hmm make sense? just for that i pick Outer Wilds i always root for the underdog in this ridiculous Versus lol

 

[Gamerguy84]

Talk about a 1 seed vs a 16 seed..

 

[KyoZz]

There is no match

 

[Bernkastel]

This thread has a severe lack of Kratos profile pics. Where are you bitbydeath ?

good point, i forgot that OW was actually released on ps4.

 

[BaneIsPain]

What a wild pairing. Definitely Kratos throne to take.

Still bitter no Days Gone.

I think you've mispelled The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

 

[GonSama]

Again, the "pairing" just doesn't make sense.
God of War is simply one of the contenders for Game of the Generation.

 

[Vroadstar]

 

[Punished Miku]

This isn't a battle, it's a massacre.

 

[Rest]

What the fuck is The Outer Wilds?

 

[ZZZZ]

I haven't played The Outer Wilds, but i heard a lot of good things about it. Too bad it's up against one of the best of the generation.

 

[Codes 208]

Outer wilds: we’ve got a full house! Read ‘em and weep.

GoW: Royal flush.

God of War is the most overrated game of the generation, but it's still better than Outer Wilds.

That’s not how you spell The Last of Us

 

[Kerotan]

God of war my favourite game since MGS3.
