very clever of you, bashing a game just on the words of others.

Zelda is a great game and if it wins, I'll be happy for it. I guess that makes me an idiot since I don't agree with you, right?

Nice quote.

I don't dislike it because I'm worried about looking childish though, I dislike it because the game comes across childish. It just does nothing for me and I think that's a fair reason.

Your sources aren't very good.

Edit: to clarify, http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time

Does that make fifa a rpg when I take the role of David Beckham? It has stats whish you can increase.... just saying, not dissing I love Zelda OOT and Majoras Mask are 2 of my favourite ever games

Fan-boys are unattractive no matter what series they represent. Its quite apparent you haven't played the new Zelda at all based on the incessant garbage you just spewed into the thread. I find this continued notion that Sony, MS, or Nintendo "pay off' sites and magazines for their reviews utterly moronic. Seriously, does it really even matter what game gets the award, its not going to affect your game play. I don't understand why trivial things like this matter to people.


I was thinking the exact same thing.


Why, because he shared an OPINION that differs from YOUR OPINION. Everything you've stated in your original post was purely biased and completely non-objective. Listing only what one game does "wrong" while simultaneously listing what the game you're comparing it to does "right," is an obvious sign of that.

Twilight Princess (gamecube version) is better than Skyrim. So is Shadow of the Colossus.

They have something Skyrim just doesn't, but i can't quite put my finger on what it is :shrug:

Since i'm taking care of my sister Wii for some months, i'll need to get that new one while i still can :hehe: And finish Metroid Prime 3. [censored] motion controls :swear:

This is a Joke. Zelda is a game for kids. Skyrim is a game for manly men.

You know what's funny? How many posts have you seen where people trash the voice acting in Skyrim and then say they wish they could go back to Morrowind's text-dialog system? Skyward Sword will have a text-dialog system. Not to mention boss fights, horseback combat, weapon upgrading, etc. sure the graphics are dated, but how many times have I seen people here say "graphics =/= good game."

Skyrim is AWESOME, and I love it! I'm also psyched for Zelda. I love them both for their characteristics, and I forgive their shortcomings. They are both classic video game franchises, and I feel bad for you if you shun one for the other, because all you're doing is missing out on something fun.

stability?

I've heard, for decades, they're a great series of games. Never played them, though - I've never owned a Nintendo system. :shrug:





------
In other news: It's possible for multiple things to be good. And to be a fan of one thing, without being required to bash other things (to either build up the reputation of the thing you like, or to try to make yourself feel better / be part of the "cool" crowd).

Amazing, I know.

Why does a fan-base matter in a single player game? It's not like you're forced to play against any of these people online. It's more money for the devs to create a better game for their next project.

I HIGHLY disagree with your entire post. While yes a lot of stuff in Zelda is in fact recycled it has something that very few games have this day and age. It's FUN. The fact that Nintendo takes 5 years to make a new Zelda instead of CoD's 1 year is bad? Your actually comparing CoD to Zelda? Cod being the game that is EXACTLY the same game year with new guns? Zelda games add something new in each game, ranging from different graphically styles (Wind Waker) to controls (Twilight Princess for the Wii).

Now don't get me wrong Skyrim and Zelda are in my opinion both amazing, and personally I think the idea of GOTY is stupid in it's own sense, but I am just trying to get across the reasons people tend to like Zelda. Oh and 2 more things.

1. Zelda in my opinion has always had amazing combat, and it hasn't changed for me. In my opinion TES games combat all around is just........meh.

2. Mature themes is not always needed in games, you can make an AMAZING game without it and in same games it just doesn't fit.

Zelda svcks, get over it.

:tongue:

By playing 10 yo kid protagonist makes it really deep and great one, with amazing George R. R. Martin alike dialogues and interesting mature stories. Isn't it?

LOL. Wii is a joke system, Zelda is a joke franchise.

No it doesn't and your arguments against it don't stand up to to logical sense which is why you seem to be getting a bit angry.

Did you create an account just to anger people?

Skyrim should win IMO

Uncharted 3 got perfect scores too, you don't see anyone whining about that game.

From an objective point of view? Do you even know wtf that means?


Well, let's look at it this way....

You say Zelda is always a rehashed story, but would anyone here seriously call Skyrim's story award-winning? Fighting dragons isn't exactly an original idea, the factions don't really have original ideas either. Hell, I dunno how many people have beaten the main quest yet, but prepare to be disappointed. In that sense, I think Zelda would have to try pretty friggin' hard to have a worse story, and for some people, story IS everything. Every game is doomed to get boring with time, but a good story will last you a lifetime. Skyrim doesn't have such a story.

Maturity =/= better. You're basically saying Skyrim is better because you can decapitate people.

Combat being better is completely subjective. I haven't played this Zelda game, but if it's similar to Twilight Princess or any of the others, then Zelda combat would be half-brawling, half puzzles. Again, some people may prefer using thought to Skyrim's "click the mouse" combat.

If choices meant better, then Fallout New Vegas would be the one with the perfect 100 score, not Zelda nor Skyrim. That's not what happened though. :sadvaultboy:

As for the game being longer, having more content, etc etc etc, again, it depends on what people find most important in a game. If the story is more important to reviewers and Nintendo managed to make the story interesting despite rehashing it (which they DID manage with Majora's Mask and Wind Waker), then yeah, I think Skyrim is VERY lacking in the story department. If I were to rate Skyrim on story alone, I'd give it an abysmal score.

Just the VGAs alone has Skyward Sword facing up against Arkham City, Portal 2 and Uncharted 3 on top of contending with Skyrim. Taking those odds, I would say that if it did win GOTY, I would be very much so amazed.

You can cut it how you want, but when you are trying to justify another Zelda game produced by the re-hash-a-tron engine that is Nintendo, while it is only available to a smaller gaming community than that say of Skyrim, which is on 3 different platforms, your claim is going to fall on deaf ears.

I'm aware that Nintendo has a bigger following in EU than here in the US, but over here it is very hard to justify those kinda games anymore when the younger audience is just fascinated with six, violence, and pretty graphics. Makes you wonder how MW3 wasn't on their GOTY nominations.....

The protagonist of Oliver Twist being a child, clearly makes the book a shallow entertainment for children.

Ditto for books like The Kite Runner, and many others.

:whistling:

People are extremely biased towards Zelda because it's been a much more popular game obviously, I mean, all the little [censored] get a new game like every other year. Everywhere you look you can find some kind of reference to Zelda and I have no idea why, it's a terrible series, boring, not very fun, and pretty much everyone in the game is annoying to be near. Sure Skyrim has some bugs but you can't say it's not a fun game. Sure it's not perfect, but to all of us fans, we might have set our expectations a bit too high. But still, it's a huge step up from Oblivion, has great quests and quest lines, literally never ends, NPCs are more fun to interact with... It should honestly destroy the next Zelda, we've seen enough of that little brat in green.

Ignorant posts are...never mind you'll just continue on regardless.


By that logic, EVERY game is an RPG. *slow clap*


Now you're showing your true colors. A blatantly immature sixist, who finds it necessary to gripe about trivial things while being condescending to those who don't share your "valued" opinion; all the while remaining completely hypocritical.
