Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Top 8 - Match 123

I vote for Kat too!

Voted Drake because he feels more like a PS icon to me then Ellie, even though I like Ellie more as a character

Voted Drake as he's practically a genocide short of a serial killer!

Well, that last round was an odd one. But I'm looking forward to the Kat vs Aloy match.

And I half tucked this vote, loved Uncharted.

Eh, I don't really like Ellie. Nathan Drake it is!

Wait, Kat won last week? Against Kratos? What the heck? It was supposed to be Kratos vs. Nathan Drake as the final match! How the heck did Kratos lose?

Would've voted Drake, except after that masterclass of hunter killing by Ellie at E3, have to go with her really.

Ellie all the way baby. I hope she shivs her way to the top, stab stab.

I like Nathan but Ellie kills because she has to. Drake kills because people are just slightly in his way. Those goons had family Nathan, they had a family.

@Giygas_95 Kat’s fans took to Twitter and a bunch of people not from the site signed up and turned the tide. I’m sure it gave pushsquare a lot of traffic / new signups though!

Drake

I abstain! Seriously I just cannot choose between the two.... I finally went with Nate because he has more of a franchise already and an established ps icon. But jeez that was hard

@ztpayne7 Still Kratos losing to her is just... disappointing. Not to mention embarrassing for Kratos. I was really hoping to see him in the final match...

Ellie all the way!

Two mass murderers. Greaaaaaaaat...

😜

It doesn't matter, Kat is going all the way

Nate won my eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Sorry Ellie.

@Giygas_95 It's a bit suspicious, every poll has remained open for a week. Kratos took the lead over the weekend and Monday (and still has it!), but the poll was allegedly only open until Friday. So just while Kat was having the lead.

I like Ellie, but I like Drake more.

@DadOfWar88 Yeah, if it had stayed open as long as all the other ones he probably would have won. Recount!

How did my boy Kratos lose? So dissapointing. Kat is not nearly a PlayStation icon as Kratos. I was hoping to see him in the final round. I went with Ellie in this round. I love Nathan so much but Ellie is special.

@ztpayne7 It is a shame, almost cheating. Kratos should have been in the final round.

@kyleforrester87 She's not. we'll try to be more on the ball next time round

Ellie vs Drake is one of the hardest decisions ever! But I'll have to go with Ellie.

In terms of design and personality, Kat absolutely deserves to have made it this far. She's a wonderful character in all aspects.

This week I voted Nathan Drake. Ellie's cool and everything, but Nate is far easier to like. He's incredibly charismatic, funny and an occasional goofball. These are all great traits for a protagonist to have. I hope the final round is between him and Kat.

Nate of course. Do it for Sully!

Ellie for sure even if she loses. Drake is cool but Ellie is way more deep and the new game looks awsome. 😁

Snake versus Drake lol. 😁 😋

if ellie loses, we dont deserve tlou2.

Sorry Nathan, but after seeing The Last of Us 2, I'm pretty sure Ellie can take you out.

@Neolit I feel like due to the shorter time the pole was open Kratos lost when he would normally have won. Also, not saying it didn't happen, but how do people know that Twitter fans had something to do with it? And why only now?

After last week, it doesn’t matter who goes through.

Kat’s winning this.

(It’s Nate though)

@Neolit I know it's not a big deal in the long run, but that's kind of disgusting. I wish we could get a redo.

@Giygas_95 It is a big deal! Kratos is out! 😭 My BOOOOOYYY

After discovering that Nathan Drake was a lesbian, I had to vote for Ellie.

Nathan Drake.
Sorry Ellie. 😖

i hope snake wins this entire contest

Can someone explain to me how Kat managed to beat Kratos ? I had to mute the "voices" in Gravity Rush 2 to be able to play...

Anyway, Drake all the way !! Easy week.

Kat won???????? lmao are you all dumb? Answer with honesty

Well, I voted for Nate. But will the Ellie army mobilise?

@Neolit Woah, that almost feels like cheating! Those aren't regular users I presume?

There's like at least four new accounts with Kat avatars that signed up in the last week. I mean, no disrespect to the game or the character, but that doesn't seem fair at all.

@Neolit wait wtf...did Kratos win or not I'm so confused!!!!

@Neolit Here here. This was an unfair victory against Kratos. Recount indeed! That Twitter thing just seems like cheating. They went to the one place where all the Gravity Rush fans would be. Imagine if someone had done something similar for Kratos, haha.

Never underestimate the power of Kat the waifu and her followers, as for today match I'll go with Nathan Drake it's a more developed character and iconic than Ellie

The truth is, GoW fans orchestrated a counterattack on Twitter as an attempt to even the odds (the proof of which can be seen in the comments of the last round), but it didn't really pan out. I think it only added 20 or so votes in favour of Kratos. So for all this complaining about GR fans assembling on Twitter, the very same was done on the opposite side. It just wasn't as effective. Who's fault is that?

As for Kratos getting a huge resurgence of votes in the last day or so, there was definite foul play involved there. I was refreshing the page per minute at one point, and every time I did the poll increased by one vote in favour of Kratos. It definitely had the feeling of one person creating new accounts over and over again to vote for the same person.

Sorry, I don't know how to post images properly on here, but this is what I was referring to in terms of the Twitter counterattack...

@AFCC
Steady on with the lesbian stuff chief, you can get all that out of your system on N4G.

As for the contest, I always knew it would come down to choosing between Drake, Ellie or Joel. Despite an immeasurable affection for Joel and Ellie, Drake has been a PlayStation icon for 11+ years, spawning a massively successful series of games. Each of those games set a new benchmark for storytelling and this has lot to do with the magnetism of Drake in my opinion.

The character single handedly made Nolan North a household name in the gaming community, and Drake was so beloved that Bruce Straley, Amy Hennig and Neil Druckmann were celebrated and recognised in a way very few devs achieve.

Yes, this competition to pick a favourite computer game character is in danger of becoming frivolous

@AFCC You make me sad mate shortsighted. 🤨😕😓

@Neolit @AFCC Being a lesbian is neither "confusing" or "bad." Shame on both of you for diminishing and making light of LGBTQ struggles that are real.

Didn't know Putin was a Kat fan.

Drake is a cold blooded killer. Ellie doesn't become one until the sequel hits. Vote Ellie for a better tomorrow.

@starhops @Kidfried @Flaming_Kaiser @Lovespuds I don't think they were being serious. They were just making fun of the people complaining about Ellie kissing a girl in the trailer (and yes, I've learned that those people apparently exist).

@b1ackjack_ps Apparently they reached out on Twitter, and a whole bunch of new users signed up last week to vote for Kat. Kratos would have won if they tallied all the votes from the entire week, like they usually do, but apparently only votes between Wednesday and Friday were counted this time

@Neolit but but...he has 52% how did he lose?

@DLB3 It's pretty nice in my little bubble over here

@Neolit ** hugs **
@Octane But making light of it diminishes those of us that are in the struggle; because it is real. Just like making racist "jokes" it still doesn't make it okay.

@Quintumply Can't we just start over ?

@Neolit @Octane I suggest a flash vote (24 hours) to determine the true winner of Kat v Kratos.

@kyleforrester87 This is for sure a larger discussion than for this thread. "Confused" is a pretty broad term and comes directly from the straight-cis perspective that anything outside the cis-norm is therefore "confusing" and not "normal." Why can't it just be what it is?

@Fight_Teza_Fight Only if Knack is allowed back in as a third option!

@starhops Oh yeah, I agree, but I don't think they were joking about homosexual people, they were just making fun of the people that were complaining about it. So it's more like the opposite really!

@Neolit

Thanks for shedding light on this. Dont think I will keep voting then.

Come on! Ellie 100%

@adf86 When they voted Knack out of the race.

#notmyultimateplaystationcharactertournament

@Neolit I fully support you! We need another poll!

So, question, should Ellie vs Crash and Drake vs Sephiroth have a recount due to the shorter deadline (Friday instead of Wednesday) given to those polls on account of a holiday?

I can’t believe you guys compromised the legitimacy of this poll 😭

Ellie losing?😱 I'd pick TLoU over all Uncharted games.

I voted for Nathan Fillion because I like Firefly.

After a long day at work, I pull up Push Square and see 117 comments on the character tournament and .... This is not what I expected! 😅 I can only imagine when @ShogunRok comes back from vacation and sees the dumpster fire he’s created! Lol.

@Th3solution
He might wish that he never went on vacation....

@NYJetsfan123 Or he might wish he never came back!

This is probably one of the most entertaining and interesting comments I've read in a post so far. You PushSquares are the best people on the internet. =)

Voted for Ellie, Nathan can be more easily recognized since he's been around longer. But he's basically the Indiana Jones of PlayStation, while Ellie is an amazing girl that went through so much, she is a deeper character than any I've ever seen in gaming, particularly thinking about TLOU: Part 2, of course.

Hmm, maybe having a profile picture of Kat isn't the best idea anymore.

@Neolit

Can I officially give this discussion a name??

Kratosgate
Katgate
Shortpollgate
Whyyoushouldnevertakeavacationgate

Any suggestions are welcome

In light of the recent Katosgate Event I think Push Square should do the one thing we all know is the right thing to do: forfeit the tournament and name Sackboy the rightful winner.

Y'all think people are angry over this? Wait until Geralt goes out next week, I'm gonna riot!

Kratos is still my winner despite unfair poll time!
dadofboi ♡ we will always remember you

Oh God. People are treating last week's results as an act Of War apparently. C'mon, the Gravity of this situation isn't that heavy guys. Though admittedly, it has also kinda been a bit of a Rush too, so...

@lacerz I dont see Ellie as a mass murderer its you or them in the new world.

@ApostateMage Im going to riot if he wins from Snake.

You guys must admit gravity rush fans are more eager to go out of their ways to create an account and vote in this site (I didn't know or care about before).

@get2sammyb as you can see from previous comments in the Battlefield article and I think I did it somewhere else too...yes, joke post meaning to critic those who are against it! Sorry to scare you! P.S. if you think someone can get offended maybe we should delete it!

@Neolit Glad you got my back xD

@Lovespuds not my particular opinion
Glad it caught attention and people here actually find it ridiculous

@Flaming_Kaiser
@Kidfried
@starhops
Guys, as in previous posts and live streams from E3 I'm 100% fine with her being a Lesbian and I'm 100% fine with lesbians and gays in real life, in fact I was always in favor of gay marriage in my country, even though I don't really now someone gay or have no interest in supporting it besides seeing unknown people be happy!
I was just trying to emphasize the ridiculousness of those guys that are saying they won't buy the game cause Elie is a lesbian...it's ridiculous isn't it? That in 2018 someone would type something like I did but in a serious way...

Hope you guys don't get offended or look at me sideways from now on

Kat ♥ .... achoo!!!1
I meant nathan drake .

So Sorry Ellie!! Drake, you got my vote!!!

R63 Lara Croft vs zombie apocalypse Ellen Page.
My vote will go to Nathan Drake.
Looking at all those Kat vs Kratos posts makes me wish that there was a new playstation all-stars so I could see the two fight each other again.

@AFCC
All good bro, I guess sarcasm is always difficult to communicate on a comment board. Perhaps I was a little over sensitive because of the awful stuff I have seen from N4G.

Have an awesome weekend buddy!

Jesus Christ

@AFCC I understand the context of your joke/sarcasm. But for me, making light of it diminishes those of us that are in the struggle. As for LGBTQ in this age being safe, we are for from it. In the US, most states still do not have anti-discrimination laws in place to protect LGBTQ. Sad.

I agree, people getting upset over Ellie kiss in the video is ridiculous, but the hate is real. That's why your comment, even if meant in jest, is a little cruel.

I have no hard feelings, and wasn't angry but I wanted to express the insensitivity of your joke. For those of us who have been disowned by family and friends, screamed at on the streets, threatened at work and lost jobs just for being who we are, you could say I'm sensitive about it.

@Lovespuds Maybe I didn't express it good enough since I was relying on people reading my previous comments on other articles! Thanks for understanding

@starhops Understandable! Hope people don't get too mad everytime they see me now ahah
