PostContestUlti 05/27/20 9:49:09 PM #304:	Contest Semifinal: (1)The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt vs (1)The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (1)The Witcher 3 - 14451 [55.2%] (1)Skyrim - 11729 [44.8%] Total Votes - 26180 Prediction Percentage - 21.57% The time had finally come for Witcher 3 to go out there and prove what it had shown us all contest -- it was a stronger game than Skyrim. I said pre-contest that the only way for Witcher 3 to win this match is for all of the following to be true: -Witcher 3 had to boost from Netflix -Witcher 3 had to boost from the respect factor due to this contest's title -Witcher 3 had to overcome a potential disparity in the Western RPG fanbase, which is fairly tight-knit about what they like -Witcher 3 had to boost from the Switch port more than Skyrim -Skyrim had to have a Bethesda deboost due to the company acting like a bunch of idiots All five of this happening seemed unlikely to me, which is why I picked Skyrim. And yet you can go right down the line: check, check, check, check, check, all with ease. Netflix was likely the biggest factor, but the other stuff all happened as well. Skyrim tried to make a show of it early, but it would find out the hard way that slow starts meant nothing for Witcher 3 in this contest. This thing was close for 30 minutes, and then.... swamped. Skyrim never stood a chance, and we all saw it coming for this entire contest. Three of the final four games in the field are open world RPGs, so it's fitting that this contest would be decided by Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, and Witcher 3. Skyrim may have lost this match with ease, but I don't think it takes away from how well Skyrim did in this contest -- being weaker than Witcher 3 doesn't mean it did badly -- and it certainly doesn't mean Skyrim didn't leave a lasting legacy on gaming. For a lot of people, Skyrim opened the door to the world of open world gaming, and I don't give a toss what anyone says or how games did things better later; Skyrim is an all-time great game. I know it's cool for the internet to hate on it and all, but I don't care. Skyrim deserves every amount of the love it got when it came out, and I hope people aren't holding Bethesda against it. This would set up the final that we all saw coming right from round one.
