How did Zelda beat Skyrim? : V

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:40 pm

Haha, Zelda has been the same old poop that it has been for over 20 years. It's not even fun anymore. Skyrim is new, innovative, has a whole new engine with more gameplay, exploration, and customizable features and it still loses? Zelda fans are braindead fools.

zelda fans are making multiple accounts

Just guessing based on previous games, but because it was finished before it was released?

Zelda is a beast. It's also not rated M.

I'm sure Skyward Sword is a fantastic game. I don't have a wii, but Nintendo tends to do rather well with the franchise. Don't be such a really devoted fan. It's cool to disagree, but you don't need to be insulting over it.

Because instead of voting in a dumb website that is easily manipulated I play Skyrim.

I'm sorry, but when did Zelda beat Skyrim?

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:53 pm

Because Skyrim is a crap?

Zelda has been out there for YEARS, and its still Zelda. Skyrim is new, and how does it look like? Making games easier, and getting rid of content is NO GO.

I imagine both because it has a bigger target audience and a bigger audience that participates in those online voting things or whatever (I never voted).

Zelda always has a solid storyline with most of their Legend of Zelda games, even ones like Twilight Princess which arent gloriously loved get good reviews. However, theres never much re-invention in Zelda, as its the same re-hashed combat system and mechanics over and over. Put this up against Skyrim, which has everything gameplay wise over it but without the game stability and all the TES fans vote Zelda because they think theyve been wronged somehow, even after get 8-9x the number of play hours over most PC games.

Its a real shame.

Because the Legend of Zelda has a more widespread and fervant fanbase, and because Skyrim is a buggy, shallow pool of consolitis.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:49 pm

Because The Legend of Zelda is one of the most popular video game series in the entire world and everyone knows what it is. There are still plenty of people who have no idea what Skyrim or The Elder Scrolls is.

Yea, those online polls are kinda pointless. We still have no idea which game was more popular; we just know that Zelda fans were slightly more willing to spend their weekend creating 100's of accounts each on G4 than Skyrim fans were.

I'm satisfied Zelda actually won. At least this game is playable... :whistling:

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:00 pm

Hey we are keeping it orginal as possible as time goes on so you know nostalgia and wanting the same type of experience = braindead.

Okay OP whatever you say.

I would be angered if they changed my beloved icons to something I do not recognize. Hey what is that Samus? What is that Sonic? You tried to change things up quickly and suffered for it? Im sorry guys.

Look they have proven to balance their games well, its not about innovation. It is about keeping the games fun while remaining true to the fans and their series.

I have enjoyed every Zelda game I have played and I have enjoyed every TES game I have played.

Edit:

Who cares who won really? Look at CoD.

That is not the only Goty Vote... Propably not that important anyways. Let me do a quick search to see if i can find out if skyrim has won one yet

Edit: One from a bit smaller site i found WARNING EXTERNAL LINK gamesas HAS NO CONTROL OVER IT http://www.justpushstart.com/2011/12/04/2011-game-of-the-year-winners/

I am also curious as to what online poll you are referring to.

Off the top of my head, though, I would attribute Zelda's larger target audience (both advlts and children) as well as its general lack of customers who are seething with homocidal hatred towards its developers (you know, they way some customers of another recently released game are) to its polling success.

SHould have bought a PC version :hubbahubba:

I'm sorry, but when did Zelda beat Skyrim?

G4 poll for GOTY. Zelda edged out Skyrim by 2% in the semi-finals. With Skyrim and Arkham City out of the way Zelda takes GOTY easy now.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 7:16 pm

I would rate legend of zelda on the snes alongside skyrim, still have it in the attic played that game to death looking for pieces of heart.

That said im 27 now and havent played a zelda game since but can easily see the pull, anyone remember secret of mana btw awesome game.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:44 pm

Mods kept locking all the voting threads.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:52 pm

I love Skyrim, and hope I'll be able to play it again when patch 1.3 come out, but I'll be buying Skyward Sword too.
Zelda games are always great fun.

You missed out "and full of bugs" in your skyrim list, I play both and Zelda skyward sword isn't much, But and its a BIG but when it comes to votes, some of us cant play it without needing mods to fix the errorless CTD's or hard crashes. something Bethesda should have patched with the 1.2 :down:

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:51 am

Its ok, I'm sure Revelations will show up those cheating 17-accounts-per-user Zelda fans.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 5:56 pm

Who cares? It's not like it's the only GOTY award.
