(6)Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty vs (11)Resident Evil 2015

Ulti's Analysis
While Witcher 3 was proving itself to be a potential contender, Metal Gear Solid 2 was proving itself rather average and continued the trend of the MGS series looking like absolute garbage in this contest. I know stats aren't everything, but MGS2 was expected to get 59% based on 2009. I know this match comes close, but a lot of us were expecting an overall series boost due to Metal Gear Solid 5's release. Not only did this not happen, but MGS5 being so divisive and Konami firing Kojima for no reason practically led to a series deboost. MGS2 started the match at 60%, then bled percentage all day long to what you see before you. Not exactly a performance one would expect from a contender, and when paired with Witcher 3's great performance and rally potential, the favorite was clear for the big round 2 match.

By the way, shoutout to REmake for being the actual best remake of a game ever made. The original Resident Evil is just unplayable trash at this point, but the remake of that game is absolutely top tier. When Raven 2 let me borrow the Resident Evil main line series, my opinions were REmake being knock-your-socks-off amazing, 2 being good, Code Veronica being "okay", and 0 and 3 were absolute trash. Why anyone likes 0 or 3 is just beyond me, but maybe I had to be there when they first happened. I dunno.

Point being, play REmake! That game is the shit.
