Pretty biased competition, the only reason Zelda beat AC is blatant really devoted fan army from the Zelda forums.

Either way I voted for Skyrim to beat that piece of crap.

I love TES but not Bethesda anymore if that makes any sense. I play on the PC and the game is definitely dumbed-down and basically requires DLC's and mods to have longterm replayability. If Skyrim loses to a game on WII I wont laugh, but I will say I told you so. However it would be ironic as Bethesda has sold themselves out to consoles, and being beaten by a lowly console game would be, I guess the word for it would be "appropriate."

this "selling out to consoles" is how they get the majority of there money as a matter of fact consolizing this series started with morrowind which most people seem to see as mana from heaven. but i do agree they are taking away a bit much like the spear crossbow and throwing weapon types and simplifying combat skills into one handed and two handed. im no medieval weapons expert but i know there is a big difference in the swings of axe's maces and swords same goes for great axes warhammers and two handed swords. and the total removal of hand to hand as a skill therefore making it an impractical play style. and assigning a majority of the voice actors to important characters only and giving the remaining actors who seem to refuse to change there voice to the rest of the generic populace. but even with all that i do believe skyrim should win GOTY because even with all of its issues i believe it to be the best game yet in the series.

I would vote Skyrim, but I'm not signing up to G4, and I do not use facebook. I've never been a fan of LoZ games and never saw what people enjoyed about the original, but I'm 216 hours into Skyrim.

I do like the Morgen Webb review of Skyrim. Zelda is always a amazing game just like TES games, BUT! when I first play Zelda I don't have any problems while playing Zelda. TES games are always bugged. If Bethesda could focus on quality like Nintendo then it would be a perfect world. The complexity of a game shouldn't be a excuse of a reason why it is allowed to be released riddled with the most obvious of pre-schooler bugs. They are quite familiar with the creation of TES games and shouldn't be having the same issues over and over every release. My vote went for Zelda. Mainly because I know when I play Zelda I am getting a quality game. I don't have to wait several weeks or have to worry about patches to fix a game they released broken, or buggy. I won't spend 5 hours into the game to come to a quest and find out it is broken. I don't get distracted with graphical glitches in the background or NPC falling through geometry etc.

I came in here to just to say:

But having read that little pearl of wisdom, i will now add this:

This.

Ok, having now read up on the contenders in this absolutely pointless thing that i occasionally see plastered on a game box and keep hearing about at around this time of year, i decided to cast a vote!

I haven't played Zelda. I never will. On the off chance that i do, i do not think i would get into it, much less consider it to be good enough to be game of the year.

So i voted for Zelda.

Voted for Skyward Sword. It has every feature that its creators said it would and works 100% right out of the box. And it's a great game on top of it all.

I'd rather vote for Skyrim than a crappy Wii game aimed at children with outdated hardware.

And I'll vote for Skyrim because it's a lot better than most of the crap that's been released recently.

Skyrim doesn't deserve GOTY.

It's a GREAT game. It is not a Game of the Year.


Zelda is PERFECT for what it tries to be.
Skyrim is a solid 8/10 for what it tries to be.

Really? I can't tell if your trolling or if you're serious.
Just because some Zelda releases have "cartoony" graphics, and not all do, does not make it a children's game.
I think every Zelda game is more difficult than Skyrim, by a wide margin. Skyrim is a hack & slash game, whereas Zelda is a puzzle solving adventure game that makes use of tactical combat.
The difficulty of zelda games is too high for children. I bet most skyrim players will have a hard time getting through the Zelda dungeons. I can understand that some people think Zelda looks childish but really it is really hard sometimes and its just the style of Nintendo. (Unlike Beth who rehashes a similar game every 4-5 years, Nintendo is innovative with every release.)
Zelda games almost always have a better story line than Elder Scolls games. TES Main Quests have never hooked me, and they just are not good.

Zelda typically has a longer development cycle than TES games - It's usually 5 years, or longer. This is one of Nintendo's flagship franchises and they take the extra time developing them to put of a perfect product - even if it means making the fans wait.
Nintendo doesn't skimp on quality.

The Wiimote is so unresponsive I don't see how it could be considerred in the same realm as Skyrim.


Skyward Sword features TRUE 1:1 controls - that's right, everything you do, Link does. You sound exactly like someone who hasn't played the game. Huh.


Skyrim is great, and I love it as I said before - but Skyward Sword is flawless.
Skyrim doesn't deserve GOTY.

I really couldn't agree more with this post. Skyward Sword deserves GOTY. Most here don't realize the flaws of Skyrim and just blindly idolize it while Skyward Sword is a total masterpiece.

Seriously? I am not even sure what Zelda is... Skyrim got to win this... In January Zelda would stand no chance, I bet. CK coming out, all the important patches being done, mods starting to come out and so on... Glorious.

Not sure what the otehr thing is yet declaring skyrim superior. Sound logic there.
Yes its so great the modders get to fix the flaws and bugs in the game insted of bethesda having to take responsability.

Only a true TES fan would be able to see past the MINOR (not game-breaking in any way, because unless you can't move/reload/play for more than 5 seconds, its not game breaking. You can still play.) bugs and realize that Skyrim deserves a GOTY more than something Nintendo has had going for years, and is basically an attempted re-roll of Ocarina of Time.

Only a really devoted fan would declare a broken game GOTY. Skyrim is a re roll of oblivion (little has changed) your point ?

Skyrim is ok, Skyrim isn't opening anything new into the TES series like Oblivion and Morrowind did in their times. Skyrim was raised on hype only to end up playing Oblivion 2. Same engine etc.., there isn't anything new in Skyrim other then some UI layouts and cooking and crafting. Something in the RPG genre that has been done 1,000 times over.

Indeed, it isnt even done well. I think I may sell skyrim, I dont usually sell games, but im bored already...

That's what a sensible person would do. Not a whiny five year old that says the game is broken and not finish because of a bad patch that has been out for a day.

No a sensible person wouldnt supprot a broken game. Whiney 5 year old, so people who cant complete teh MQ nd many otehr quests are whiney 5 year olds ? And the people whos characters re destroyed by the bugs in patch 1.1 are whiney 5 year olds. Seems your cting more childish than them, resorting to name clling for legitimate complaints.

zelda - 25 hours
skyrim 143 hours

skyrim- worth $60
zelda- no worth $50

Because its all bout how much time you waste, not how fun a game is. Also seeing s some flks cant even play skyrim that number needs to come down a bit...

I voted for Skyrim because at least it tries to be different.

. Sorry I don't vote for games who don't try and be different when it comes to story.

Edit: Also didn't like the gameplay at all.

How please enlighten me.
... Yet you voted Skyrim, granted both arent good at story, but skyrim is no better in that deprtment.


Voted for Skryim. Can't believe people still play zelda games, you get the same stuff.

*glances at oblivion*
All Bethesda does is make a big world to explore, thats it, its been like that since daggerfall. Oblivion even botched making it unique, and in Skyrim dungeons are liner corridors.

Either way I voted for Skyrim to beat that piece of crap.

Calling them [censored] then saying our forum is better... You dont see any issue with that ? Nothing childish, no feeling of hypocrisy ?

Its sad that people who have registered on this forum is voting for skyward sword, why not go post about that game if you like it best?

Fallout 3
Fallout NV
Rage
Hunted
Brink
Dishonoured

Its sad you think becuase im on here I should be worshiping skyrim like its the second coming of christ, how dare I like other games. You may want to get the pitchfrk because I havent enjoyed a single bethesda game I have played.

Zelda vs. Skyrim? Why???? They're not even remotely in the same category. Skyrim is on an epic scale and Zelda is a children's game. Dont they like spit out a new Zelda game every year?

No its not.
No they dont.

So much wrong in this thread.

I dont care enough to register on another forum, but Zekd deserves to win much more thn skyrim. Hell most games deserve too.
