Thread: IMPORTANT: Vote Skyward Sword over Skyrim!

I really would like to see The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword beat out Skyrim, so it can at least go to the final round against assassins creed.

If you have a g4tv account, then you should vote! :3

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim vs Zelda: Skyward Sword Videogame Deathmatch Best Game 2011

I don't even know why we're comparing a Western sandbox RPG to a Japanese action-adventure game. Skyrim anyways; I never could get into Zelda.

Zelda all the way down. I think Skyrim is great, but The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is just... FABULOUS...

I played both, and I can easily say that Zelda is more enjoyable. Skyrim started fun, but it just doesn't have the same feeling as "Zelda's in trouble! I need to save her!"

I like both games, but I gotta point out this in my own experience: Which one has eaten up more than 150 hours of my last month? I've been a Zelda fan for 20 years, but the only games that ever ate up this much time for me were the Pokemon games prior to 3rd gen, Tales of Symphonia, and World of Warcraft. I now can add Skyrim to that list. Zelda games, at most, eat 40 hours or so on my first playthrough, and usually about 10-15 every playthrough thereafter.

I gotta go for Skyrim.

This is, without a doubt, an incredibly easy decision. I like Zelda. It's great. But Skyrim? It's... Better. In every way, I see the game as superior. It's a living, breathing world. It's art.

It has my vote.

It's not fair to have two games from two different genres go head-to-head. If anything, it should be Batman Arkam City that Skyward Sword should be facing since they're both adventure games. It's no wonder the Game Overthinker hates G4TV.

Batman Arkam City already went against Skyward Sword and lost. This contest is for game of the year, so some games might be a little hard to compare.

I own most of the games, but I do have to say I am enjoying Skyward Sword more than I am enjoying Skyrim.

Looks like Skyward Sword won this battle but lost to Skyrim at the Video Game Awards, thus making Nintendo's future uncertain.

...Because recognition at an awful video game awards show determines a company's success?

Yes, seeing as how people here are talking about the downfall of Nintendo because of the 3DS and Wii U.

Didn't they say the exact same thing the last time the generations started to change?

I wasn't lurking through other forums/message boards that much back then when the Wii was announced. I was in an old forum that didn't mention it being the company's downfall.

I can't be 100% fair as I've been unable to play Skyward Sword for very long but going by my experience with LoZ games and those I know who've played SS I can safely say that Skyrim has much more replay value and technical and visual promise for me. I know which one I'll play once or twice in about fifty hours, put away and then forget about other than for nostalgia and it's not Skyrim.

I'm not surprised with how this went and I don't think I really need to explain why either way. :/

They were saying the same thing about the Wii after the rather lackluster GCN.
