Truth

It will undoubtedly receive GOTY from someone, somewhere. And there's nothing wrong with losing to TLOZ.



Besides, the Spike VGAs are the GOTY that really counts.

I honestly don't think it would be such a travesty to lose to Skyward Swords. It is a great game, and so is Skyrim. Both Legend of Zelda and The Elder Scrolls are respectable series. I hate how we are having to pit the two against each other.

No, not truth. You shouldn't herald something as perfect, because that implies nothing can be improved.

But trying to beat out the game against another game in some arbitrary poll is the wrong way to do it. Constructive criticism supported by logical, evidence-backed, examples is what an artistic, creative team responds to well.

Skyrim's been getting so much hate in these forums, you almost couldn't tell they were Bethesda forums if there wasn't a logo at the top left.
If all you guys hate Skyrim so much, why waste your time posting here? Just leave. I mean, I'm sure there's an quite active Zelda forum.
Unless you have nothing better to do but troll our forums.

Zelda, while it does great at what it does, I don't like what it does. Never got into the Zelda series.

On the other hand, Skyrim has already svcked 74 hours out of my life. It looks like this pattern will continue. Despite the glitches, the bugs, the CTDs, the broken mechanics, I love this game.
It is the best game that has been released since Morrowind.
And, with further mods and better patches, it looks like it will only continue to get better. Does Skyward Sword have that longevity?

That's why I voted Skyrim. :tes:

Zelda fans have typically been saying they like Skyrim, it just isn't GotY material, giving justified reasons why they don't like skyrim, and don't think it should win - and being (for the most part) very courteous.

Skyrim fans have been offering little to no justified reasons about why Skyward Sword shouldn't win, have been degrading Zelda's fanbase as "childish" or having "not gone through puberty yet" because they like a game that doesn't have realistic graphics.. and they're generally just being rude and obnoxious.


I wonder who the real immature people are here..

Considering I can write about why ech of the guilds was horrible and makes the game look rushed, add in betehsdas love of the essential tag (Just try killing everyone in Riften) I think I have played enough of the game to make a judgement. Please gve me just one example of a dungeon that isnt linear, they always ahve a conveniently caved in door, and usually split into 3, before the boss room lets you unbar a door or unlock a secret entrance to take you to the begining.


Again its wrong to give a game praise for things modders do instead of the devs. I mean really why not just have bethesda announce TES VI and just get a CK on the disk with the words "get cracking" on it.
Do you seriously belive that patches made BY THE FANS to fix issues in the game is a mark of a good developer ? Its like buying a new car only to have it not work, but hey they included a few tools in the back.
Your also ignoring the 360 and PS3 fanbase too.

This thread brings immaturity to new levels. Makes me ashamed to be a member of these forums, actually.


This sums it up pretty well.

Thank you. and I do appreciate everyone’s arguments on the subject and as a Zelda fan myself, comparing these games is very difficult. I cringe every time I see a fellow Skyrim fan call Zelda a "kids game" or "there is no way zelda beats Skyrim" because its simply not true as both games are fantastic. There are more to games than simply what they look like on the box.

At the end of the day there are no winners with this kind of contest, especially when most of these games are very different from each other. Just look at the comment section on the voting web site, both sides aggressively arguing and insulting each other, its just.... feels like as a fan of one of those games I need to stay away from that place.

Im just going to leave this here.

Haven't played either game, but I voted for Zelda since I will play that game and will not play Skyrim.

Not voting.

Reading the descriptions left for the games, it is obvious to see what game g4 wants to win.

The poll positions are frozen. This poll is [censored] either intentionally or unintentionally by g4tv.

Right? I agree. It's just a pair of video games. It isn't life or death. I like both games, I just happen to think LoZ deserves GotY more: other people probably think Skyrim deserves it more. I'm fine with that, but there is no reason to insult either fanbase over it.

Both will win GotY awards from somewhere anyway, Game of the Year doesn't really mean much.

Sweet Skyrim winning, but SS can still win... no that is a bad thing, Zelda is one of the greatests Legends from VideoGames.

Skyward Sword won.

:celebration:

Hopefully that will teach the rude/obnoxious Skyrim fans here a lesson. Colorful graphics don't dictate the maturity or appeal of a game.

Wow, this is the exact same matchup that happened in the spring, except specific games instead of franchises'.

And I'm glad Legend of Zelda won, it deserved it much much more.

Happy to hear this. With all of the . . . "fandom", for Skyrim going around, I didn't think SS has any real chance.

Haven't played Skyward Sword yet but I have played Revelations and I think it's laugh worthy that it's in the finals. Then again I really don't care.
