(7)Fallout: New Vegas vs (10)BioShock Infinite 2015

Ulti's Analysis
Before this contest began, Allen spoiled two matches for us. One was Bloodborne/FF12, and the other was this one. All of us immediately knew New Vegas would win thanks to Fallout 4 hype, thought BioShock quickly becoming a one-hit wonder series also helped. BioShock 2 being a disappointment is forgivable, and while Infinite is a good game, it does a few things that don't make much sense. Kotaku wrote a good article called "Bioshock Infinite is Insanely, Ridiculously Violent. It's a Real Shame." That sums up my thoughts rather well. Violence is okay in context, but it's thrown into Infinite for no real reason. There's other stuff, but I don't want this writeup to be a massive spoiler for the game.

Some people thought New Vegas was prime to get upset, but this is a case where games = characters is perfectly fine logic. Booker lost to literal Gilgamesh in 2013. Sorry, but that's as obvious an indicator of Infinite's weakness as you can find. I'd make a FLOWCHART™ joke, but I forgot to put "Hype" in there somewhere. This match might have been interesting in 2014, but with Fallout 4 coming out in the middle of the contest it rendered this match an easy 55-45 affair the whole way through.

New Vegas with a better draw might have done some damage, but it was saddled with Resident Evil 4 in round 2.
