Where is Mega Man 2?

Real Quick Reviews · Mar 10

🍀💚Raks🍀💚 · Mar 10

Love it 😊

Will Borger · Mar 10

Where is StarCraft II, Blessing

Jesse · Mar 10

No DKC2? This list is a farce! A farce, I say!

Aaron Amendola · Mar 10

bless that HD bracket is gonna ruin friendships

takkun169 · Mar 10

These some strangeness in these picks. The last of us 2 and not 1? Saints row 2, not 3? This list also insinuates that smash melee is Nintendo's best game, because there's no others there. Street fighter HAS to take this.

Grant · Mar 11

Shoutout Alan Wake 2. Hades 2 is going to beat it but Alan Wake is so fucking good

Finn @ NOLAnerdcast · Mar 10

This is going to tough. Way too many excellent choices on that bracket

Suit and Tyler · Mar 10

I love souls games, but power ranking Dark Souls 2 at number 4 is clown shoes

David · Mar 10

Diablo II and Saints Row 2 as 8 seeds? Was the committee the drunk? Diablo II was so good they just released it AGAIN and it's selling enough to get a DLC!

Blue Rose · Mar 10

KH2 or Halo 2 in round 1!? EVIL.

Turn Based Carl · Mar 10

Round 1 complete. 😅

Dani · Mar 10

omg no tears of the kingdom? that's evil.

Wesley Dunkerton · Mar 10

Portal 2 vs Dead Space 2 in round 1 is brutal, very excited for the episode

Richomanic · Mar 12

I just need to express a few things, respectfully. NBA Street over Half Life 2?! Street Fighter 2 got done dirty (not your fault). But perhaps the ultimate slap in the face: Mass Effect 2 getting dumped in the 2nd round. I can’t focus on work after this. I feel like I want to go to war or something

Richomanic · Mar 12

I love you, I love Mike, I love Barrett. I know this is all subjective based upon your own gaming experiences and you straight up WARNED me that this was going to hurt my feelings. But by god almighty you guys butchered this bracket. That said, great Gamescast, more of this please 🙂

MmmDoggy · Mar 10

If titanfall 2 loses to tlou 2 im gonna lose it

Happy to Be Here · Mar 10

Street fighter 2, I can’t help but feel heard.

KBABZ (aka Kal) · Mar 10

How TF did Sly 2 make the cut yet the game that brought "RPG mechanics to non-RPG games" Ratchet & Clank 2 DID NOT I'd also like to voice that Pokémon Gold/Silver be swapped with Pokémon Crystal

Oban (The Loch King) · Mar 11

Why didn't Half-Life 2 get thrown the chance of a chat poll 😭

@kreppsyhead.bsky.social · Mar 11

David Paige · Mar 11

Hope this factors in what it means to build off the previous game and takes the "sequel" factor into account. Otherwise it just becomes what is the best game that happens to also be a sequel.

David Paige · Mar 10

AC2 going all the way, no doubt

Rev. Cameron Abbott · Mar 10

Damn. Y'all came out SWINGIN' HARD on this bracket. No easy route to victory. You love to see it.

@edwardjeffreyblow.bsky.social · Mar 10

The Red section is a tough bracket. I think TLOU2 is going out in the first round 😬

@jamesmd14.bsky.social · Mar 10

This is actually a pretty good list

Ari Bilyeu · Mar 10

This episode is gonna go crazy haha. What a wild bracket

Taylor Rioux · Mar 10

That's a lot of damn good games. Good luck trying to sort all that out lmao

@falconis.bsky.social · Mar 10

Is the question which is the better overall game or which is the better overall sequel?

Ash Parrish, Kotaku's LeBron James · Mar 10

Ok what was the selection committee criteria bc ima crash out on all of you for sonic 2 not being on the list

Low · Mar 11

Red Dead 2 vs Nier Automata is diabolical but Red Dead gets the nod. Also anyone saying RE2 over MGS2 is delusional. MGS2 is leaps and bounds a better game.

Low · Mar 11

Memory Card and the Classics being mostly the same gens is kinda funny.

Cinque · Mar 11

If Titanfall 2 doesn't win best sequel I'ma be mad bro

Trash · Mar 10

It's Street Fighter 2

Blessing Adeoye Jr. · Mar 10

Entries were mostly determined by an audience poll. I divided the brackets by eras (it gets a lil wonky because I had to split some of the 2001 games). Metacritic determined the seeding.

Josh Blazek · Mar 10

Red Dead 2 v Nier Automata in Round 1 is diabolical

Drey · Mar 10

How many complaints about seeding will there be this time? haha

@alanpressstart.bsky.social · Mar 10

I have no idea who is going to win, But here are my answers for the 1st round from each bracket: Red Dead 2 KCD 2 TLOU Part 2 Hades 2 Mass Effect 2 Arkham City Portal 2 Uncharted 2 NBA Street Vol. 2 Smash Melee God of War 2 Halo 2 Tony Hawk 2 Street Fighter 2 Pokemon Gold & Silver Resident Evil 2

Daniel McG · Mar 10

You're evil for this

Ben l KXNGKICKS 🌌 · Mar 10

Oh man. This bracket is fire.

Sunk Cost Philosophy · Mar 10

If RDR2 - Half Life 2 isnt the final, I will riot

Parker · Mar 10

HD division full of killers

Midnight Oil · Mar 10

Street Vol 2 needs to be the Cinderella story

Ryan M · Mar 10

MGS2 vs RE2 in round one is DIABOLICAL

Mitch Dyer · Mar 10

madness is right

Aaron Weiss · Mar 10

This is GOOD

Foolish Samwise · Mar 10

Final four *should* be Titanfall, Portal, Diablo, and Half-Life. Course, I don’t think it *will* be, because people have bad taste.

Matthew Hidalgo · Mar 10

Bless, you did an awesome job putting this together. Thanks dude

Matthew Hidalgo · Mar 10

No, Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner

Brandy Bellamy · Mar 10

All my picks gonna lose first round. 😅

Calvin Perez · Mar 10

I will be superchatting Ms. pac-man in because it’s the first and arguably MOST important example of iteration for so many reasons

@indythang.bsky.social · Mar 10

The modern bracket is a bloodbath wow. Good luck to whatever game gets out of there.

@brutalex.bsky.social · Mar 11

I’m confused… Silent Hill 2 in classics but not memory card? Memory card is PS2 era, correct?

Max / Queen (She/Her/They/Them)🏳️‍⚧️ · Mar 10

Last of us 2 should have been first seed

Javi Rodriguez · Mar 10

RE2 with a bullet.

Jeremy Saunders · Mar 11

Looks like the top 32 all time.

Michael McCarthy · Mar 11

Resident Evil 2 VS Metal Gear Solid 2?! Nooooooooo

LittleFryHouse · Mar 10

Street Fighter 2 and it's not even really close, it shouldn't even be on this list it's so much better than everything else here.

UnarmedGorilla 🇨🇦 · Mar 10

Um, no Civilization II? C’mon, one of the greatest sequels ever made.

Dick Agency · Mar 11

Saint's Row against Mass Effect is like ranking a ballroom dancer against a b-boy

Alt · Mar 10

Classics should've had Crash Bandicoot 2 vs Spyro 2 and Tim would have to be involved just to see him internally meltdown.
