Seriously, the youtube video was a dead link at this point to begin with, what the hell is wrong with this site?
I had typed this up before the topic was deleted so I'm responding to your post here
do you have an irrational hate for Nintendo?
I consider them to be maybe the most important developer in the industry actually. But the Zelda series hasn't produced a real GotY contender in a decade IMO, and aside from the brilliant visual style the main thing I'm seeing with Skyward Sword is that it has borrowed a lot of controls from Wii Sports Resort, which is a downgrade from Twilight Princess.
Xenoblade is out of consideration to begin with in my mind. I'll import it and play it, but GotY refers to year of release and it's not being released. It might be European or South African game of the year, but I can't give it that title out of principle.
unless you only play WRPGs. which is also crazy.
This just seems to be the most impressive title coming out by far. The level of detail looks insane, I love games that have worlds you can really get lost in and do a ton of things with. That's why Xenoblade looked so much more appealing to me than the standard JRPG, it's a big wide open world with a lot of optional quests.
