Thread: IMPORTANT: Vote Skyward Sword over Skyrim!

I'm glad Skyward Sword beat Skyrim.

Why you may ask? Just look at my avatar.

Revelations has a shot to beat Skyward Sword in the final. It didn't have a shot to beat Skyrim (it would have gotten rocked). Especially since some of the butthurt fans of the other games (Arkham, Skyrim, Uncharted) are trying to get a vote campaign running for Revelations just so Skyward Sword doesn't win.

Now I don't have anything against Skyward Sword (and in fact I'm REALLY looking forward to finishing it after I finish finals), but... Assassins' Creed.

I really couldn't care less about TV Tropes.

Second, the big franchise of the system was indeed Metroid Prime. Wind Waker only found popularity in the States. In Japan, it was complete bomb. Sunshine was a pretty forgettable title.

Ultimately, Nintendo has followed a formula for the last three generations: They dominate the scene at the outset and for a couple of years after, then they hover around for a while until the next generation, where they revolutionize gaming with their next system and start the process again. I suppose what they're hoping to do now is jump ahead and stay ahead. Nintendo's difficulty has stemmed from an inability to attract third party developers who are going multi-platform largely because of the Wii's limited capacity for graphics. They managed to rope in Activision, but Bethesda? BioWare? VALVe?

For shame.

Yet we still get characters from SMS to appear in other Mario titles and Brawl. Either it means a large portion of the audience liked it, or it's just shoving it down on people's throat like the mazes for the horror remakes at Universal Studios.

But isn't Activision the devil of video games due to the sheer hate on the titles they publish (CoD as the popular example)? At least they got Capcom to release Super Street Fighter 4 for the 3DS.

More like EA is the anti-Christ of the industry. Unfortunately, some of my favorite games were published under EA, namely Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Dead Space.
