elvinkun Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) It's simple, answer is in all the "Vote for Skyrim!" threads. Bethesda pissed a hell lot of people with the bugs and especially patches that broke the game... followed by silence.In my case, I actually found the "Vote for Skyrim!" posted on their forums few hours after the patch, in the middle of hunderths "I can't play after this patch, help!" topics with no response whatsoever borderline offensive.

Matth85 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Not to be bashing, but Skyrim did not meet up to what most of us expected. Bad port to PC, unplayable on PS3 and bugs left and right. It's going to be a heaven when the CK arrives, but for now: Zelda is the better stand-alone game. Which is what counts. Most bought the game out of the reputation it had, and most of us know it will be amazing with mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I might understand. However, it's impossible to release a game as massive and detailed as Skyrim with so much replayability and so many things to do without having at least as many bugs as it did when it shipped. I'd rather have a huge game I can play for a decade that ships with some bugs that will be fixed within a couple months post release than have a game like Skyward Sword with maybe 2 months worth of replayability max and zero bugs whatsoever.

Iv000 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Skyrim lost because most of the fans were still playing it. :rolleyes: That was a joke, both games are good. It shouldn't matter which one won, as long as you are enjoying the one you have right now. Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would vote for Skyrim. After the first update, which broke my game, I still would. After the second, which first made me unable to get in the game and after I fixed that, I noticed it actualy bugged a lot of things (Backwards dragons, no resistances, bookshelves, etc...) I can't be bothered to even log in to vote, just as Bethesda didn't bother to even test their patches... or post some response at the very least. Don't forget that people with PS3 version can't play at all, and it's not minority of them. Not whining, just saing "why" and I believe this is the "why" for great many people.

Matth85 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 at least as many bugs as it did when it shipped. We've had that discussion on another topic, but a TL;DR:Bethesda pushed a "cool" date,11.11.11. They worked their ass of to get it off the last month. We now had TONS of uneeded bugs, not working on PS3 and now they had a vecation. THey now need to work their ass off to fix it again, and this time christmas is here. lose-lose scenario!It would take them a week to fix the worse bugs we had. And don't tell me they "fix" anything. As of now they break more than they fix. They are so delayed with everything right now, that it isn't even funny. A good game? Yes.A rushed game? Yes.Worth GOTY as of release? No.Will it be top-standard game? Yes. That is the point of GOTY. You get game A, is it good? You go Game B, is it good? In this case, Zelda was better off the boat. I'd rather have a huge game I can play for a decade that ships with some bugs that will be fixed within a couple months post release than have a game like Skyward Sword with maybe 2 months worth of replayability max and zero bugs whatsoever. Opinion. I plau a game for max 100 houres. I've played Skyrim for 80. I could have played Zelda for 80 as well. All the "runs" you can do! -- My point being: For some people, they only got time to play certain much, or can't be arsed to. Now the length of a game doesn't matter. What would you then prefer? Add some Nostalgia from the good old Zelda games we had, and you are golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
