jackalhead Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Why does this whole Skyrim vs. Skyward Sword thing always become violent? We have people full of rage in this thread... I blame it on video games and president Bush. It just feels insulting to Bethesda who put in hours upon hours of blood, sweat and tears into perfecting this masterpiece in order to have it lose to something that probably took less than half the man-power or time to make. It feels like a slap in the face. Might as well have lost to Super Mario Bros for SNES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand93022 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Zelda is a highly polished turd, I call it a turd as they been rehashing the same save the damsel story for 20 years but every time they made it fun. Skyrim is a uncut unpolished gem, they have a great world and story going for them but put no time in ensuring the game was playable by its fans (any game that CTD every hour was half asses). Add to that a degrade of things from Oblivion like the spell system that's a shell of its former self (I'd kill for a carrying capacity spell or night eyes and I miss summoning that dinosaur whateveritscalled). In the end Skyrim isn't game of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Who cares?Consider the overall rage on the comment section on the votes, and the fact so many is posting here - including you, I'd say many does. Wether people preffered Game 1 or game 2 is irrelevant, people care. As I write this there are 8 users watching this topic. Now that is more than most "Mod request" and "Mod Talk" forum have. Annyways: I planned to vote ... then took an arrow to the knee. Yeah. No, seriously, I didn't vote. Not feeling game A deserved GOTY, and not having played Game B, really made it hard to vote. Would be very narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matth... It may appear to you that some of us in this thread care about the result on that site, but please believe me when I say that I (and I'm sure many others) don't. My only reason for posting my disdain was because people actually went to some two-bit games site, all concerned that this game might loose to some rescue the princes kids game (rated 12) and that this should actually be worthy of a serious discussion at all! Well, as I'm caring sort of guy, to help those that might still be having nightmares over the result (or afraid of the monster that's lives under their bed), Metacritic, who compile review ratings from over 50 gaming sites have Zelda rated at 7.7 and the pc version of Skyrim on 8.3 and the x-box version 8.6.

Guss Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Fans of Zelda and people didn't want to vote for Skyrim because of the bugs the game has. :biggrin: many other posts with the same reply. Edited December 7, 2011 by Guss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardivex Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Simple answer, all the hype for Skyrim was kinda for nothing, it wasn't all that good and theres the bugs... Zelda is amazing, the graphics are beaultiful, motion+ controlls are awesome, the story is great and so do the puzzles, dungeons and so on...Link shot an arrow into Skyrim's knee Edited December 7, 2011 by Tardivex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I originally replied to you. If people want to go to a site like that, they are allowed. Callinging out "Grow up!" is really not the way to go for it. It may appear to you that some of us in this thread care about the result on that site, but please believe me when I say that I (and I'm sure many others) don't.Care about the results? Half of us gives a damn who wins. People do care about the subject though, even if they don't care than Skyrim lost. Most care because they don't like Zelda, other care because they just want to have something to talk about.If you, or anybody really, doesn't care at all, it is best not to post. We all know why Skyrim lost, and that's that. I lost nothing that Skyrim lost, you lost nothing. Generally, noboy lost anything. Perhaps some die-hard Zelda haters lost their pride, but eh - who cares about pride? And a good night to you too! Matth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitsuneshoujo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) G4 probly heavily weights their polls so that their current favourite is more likely to win. Wait for Spike's VGA show to start wailing about Skyrim taking an arrow in the knee... if they loose. In otherwords: Spike's VGA is the actual video game awards, this thing G4 did is just them playing wishful thinking.

Snkmarcel Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 To be honest, the zelda games for the nintendo 64 (ocarina of time & majora's mask) are the best games ever made. But still skyrim is beating all the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
