What does it matter? Do Skyrim and Zelda even share a gaming platform?

That's fine. Point is, the quality of the game hinges on how complex it is to play, not how complex it is to develop. In short, nobody cares how complex it is to develop.

Honestly Skyward sword is disappointing me on multiple levels, for one I can hardly go five minutes without some stupid, corny, childish cutscene. And the enemies, oh my god the enemies. In OoT and TP I felt like some of the enemies were actually vicious evil creatures that were trying to kill me. Now its just... sad. And the so called "smoothness"? I don't understand that, the wii remote has not and does not work correctly, I swing one way and the game swings three different ways, I rarely feel like its me and not the remote killing something. So far twilight princess is my favorite.
Doesn't even compare to Skyrim.

It was angry-Skyrim fans & Zelda fans vs Skyrim fans.

I can't blame those angry-Skyrim fans.
They're having a hard time with Skyrim

Well honestly, Zelda is a good GAME to PLAY. Skyrim is a good GAME to play. Cwutididthur?

I love both franchises and the fact they are competing in some way is kind of ludicrous but still promising for me. They are different games. Skyrim will win RPG GoTY and Zelda will probably get 1st or 2nd for Action Adventure GoTY.

The Zelda franchise struck gold in the early years of their franchise and all they need to do is incrementally upgrade and polish their future games. They have a GOOD formula. The Elder Scrolls franchise is striking gold now. They also reinvent the game formula quite a bit every time. They never put much polish on their games. They always feel kind of raw. They are also a HUGE game so it is hard to make it seem polish.They also released a buggy as hell game.

I love Skyrim but if I had played Skyward Sword I would probably vote for it as well. Not to mention Skyrim has been a disappointment in just as many ways as it has been a pleasant surprise for me. So mixed feelings. All Bethesda seemed to care about was the 360 version for the most part. See all the PS3 and PC fans.

We're talking about a single website, and the polls were neck-in-neck. And that doesn't account for all of the alt accounts I'm sure were made to boost votes (though that probably happened on the Skyrim side as well!)

IIRC, it was 49% to 51%, right? Might as well say that both games are evenly matched. Trouble is that you really can't explain them in the first place.

You keep bringing up "Nostalgia" in all these threads about Zelda vs Skyrim. Do you not realize that The Elder Scrolls have been around for almost the same amount of time as Zelda, and you could just as easily say people voted for THE ELDER SCROLLS: Skyrim based on nostalgia.

Do you know what nostalgia means?

Glad Skyrim lost, purely because of the snarling, hypocitical anguish on threads like these. Can you taste it? It's delicious.

Maybe Skyward Sword really is the better game? I haven't played it so I don't know, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

I wonder if this is influenced by people living in Japan (Nintendo Heartland). Surely there must be a few voters that can understand english.

Skyrim and Zelda are both RPGs but are COMPLETLY different!
It's like comparing a cat to a dog, both are pets but they're so much different you can't compare them properly.

To be fair Elder Scrolls is the same thing repeated too. Both series are solid and are fun to play for a lot of people. as I said in a different thread if it is going to lose at least it does lose to a series like LoZ.

They're both great games. However the critics/reviewers are looking for good games, that also have the least glitches. In my opinion, Skyrims great gameplay outweighs all of the glitches, but critics are looking for the "perfect" game that has no glitches. Sigh, reviewers have to realise that Skyrim is such a huge world, destroying every last glitch would be impossible . It's almost like skyrim is being punished for expanding.

hahaha your logic is /fail
skyrim didn't expand anything other than the number of dungeons. i dont see how reviewers should look past glitches that make the game unplayable for some people. oblivion had a slightly larger world than skyrim according to the beth peeps but then again they have been known to lie.

Zelda beat Skyrim because more people thought Skyward Sword was the better game. Simple as that. :thumbsup:

I agree with Rikemaru. Skyrim's bugs OUTWEIGHT the rest, for me.

Yeah its made for kids, more kids voted, big bad Skyrim is rated M.... ooooooo scary!!

someone cant handle a lose.

Pong and Pac Man are the most popular and played games of all time. Doesn't mean they're not utter crap and meant for super ultra casual gamers and 3 yos.

I can honestly say, I can't wait for this thread to get locked.

Skyrim isn't new or innovative, it's got basically the same gameplay as Morrowind, just more polished.

Not saying I think Zelda is either, or that it should beat Skyrim, never played a Zelda game personally.

Maybe the op should make a poll for how many of us voted. The answer will be very clear.

Yeah really crap thats why Skyrim has a metacritic score of over 95 !! :banghead: Umm the TES series has been out for just as long you twit, first TES game was Arena which came out in 94 learn to think before you speak! You want to talk about simplifying then use Zelda as an excuse? Omg.... that game is aimed at 10 year olds, are you a 10 year old son?

By 2%, it got the most votes among that section of the g4 audience that choose to participate. Personally, I don't mistake 'most popular' for 'best' in any voting result or even consumer product.

I followed a link to vote for Skyrim, but didn't because I didn't want to register for yet another site. I am sick of every site on the net demanding my email address and wanting me to select a user name and password.
