I'm not saying Mass Effect 2 should beat Breath of the Wild, but wow.. 31%? On name alone I figured Zelda would win, plus BotW is legitimately excellent, but Mass Effect 2 was and still is a brilliant game and it kinda blows my mind that the voting is this lopsided.

Maybe it suffers from age, as it's definitely one of the oldest games in this bracket (not sure if it's THE oldest) along with Mass Effects name being tarnished by the debacle of 3's ending and the dumpster fire known as Andromeda. Still, is it really less than half as good as BotW?

I've played both games a bunch, and I know this bracket isn't exactly the universal opinion in the gaming world but is anyone else besides me surprised that the support for BotW is so much stronger here?

depends on who you ask, quite a few people have some major gripes with botw

No but this is NintendoFAQs / ZeldaFAQs so the result is expected.

A comparison is irrelevant. They are two of the greatest games of their kinds.

Yes, from the poll you can see that obviously BoTW is around twice as good as ME2.

I mean I was clearly on the wrong side of history. I'm only on the right side of the present.

My dad told me we can be a family again if the Angels win the pennant and if BotW doubles ME2.

It's not about being better, it's about being more popular.

The Phantom Menace would smash Citizen Kane in a poll.

No, i actually think Mass Effect 2 is better, and i like space setting more, its more ambitious and space opera usually is an elitist sub-genre.

It has infinity more Link than Mass Effect therefore Im actually surprised how badly its scoring considering this.

Never really got the hype surrounding Mass Effect and i'm surprised a game like that is even popular on here.

ME2 is much better for me than BoTW (didn't finish BoTW, beat ME2 several times, actually ME2 is better than every single Zelda game imo).
But I almost feel like not voting for ME2 due to ME3.

Of course since it's ZeldaFaqs, BoTW would still easily win if ME3 had been great.

No, BotW is not even the best Zelda game released in this decade.

Yeah, BoTW's lackluster performance really is quite surprising. Don't know how it happened.

Hard to compare both. They focus on completely different aspect of videogames. Mass Effect is all about a good narrative, writing, voice acting, variety of roleplaying while BOTW is all about the variety of actions and physical interactivity you can have with the world but its narrative is very abstract. They're both great in their respective choice.

Thatmuch better? Definitely not. Both are great games. More popular? Possibly. Doesn't help that the poll is vague about what a vote means, anyway. I expect the gap to shrink to somewhere near 60/40 as the day progresses and rallies occur.

Actually it should be like 98,54% for Zelda.

I like mass effect 2 quite a bit more than breath of the wild. It's a top 5-10 all time game for me. Breath of the wild wouldn't even make the list. It's got some cool ideas, but ultimately is so badly outdated as an empty open world game that I don't see the draw.

it's also a rottentomatoes thing where nobody votes in percentages

there are some 98% movies on that site that are really more like 6 or 7 out of 10s that nobody dislikes enough to give a zero to
