Well the link was dead anyway, so not a big loss.

It is, however, my first moderation with karma loss in all these years.
Being a lurker probably helps.

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.

I think the only rpg coming out this year that can compete is Dark Souls. And as someone who's a big fan of Demon's Souls and has never cared about the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim hands down looks better.

You're not wrong here, and I'm not sure many people would take umbrage at someone saying Wind Waker and Twilight Princess weren't the absolute best games of their respective years. There was a lot of things I liked about both titles, but there were a few issues with each of them. More TP than WW, really. I dunno, I could be wrong, but Skyward Sword looks like it might finally brake out of the Zelda funk Nintendo has been in since the two N64 games. I love the art style (Zelda's nose notwithstanding), the combat looks engaging, and it doesn't look like an OoT clone. I'm pretty hyped for this game.

Xenoblade is out of consideration to begin with in my mind.


I might agree with you if this were Mother 3, but Xenoblade is already translated, and it's easily available to anyone who owns a Wii. Nintendo of America is dumb for not releasing it here, but we can still play it. And soon!

I think your criticism of Zelda could be thrown at Bethesda, too. After Morrowind, Bethesda offered two lame vanilla experiences. The only game on that engine I think is truly great was the game Obsidian made last year, New Vegas. This isn't stopping me from anticipating Skyrim, though. Bethesda, like Nintendo, are showing me all the right things.

Guess we'll find out in November!

menial chores like fighting mammoths, giants and dragons among other things


you can do whatever you want in the game that's the beauty, it isn't forcing you to take one path. Why complain about something like being a lumberjack? Just don't do it, the game doesn't force you to. It's in there for the people who do want to do that.

Everything. The whole thing. I've seen prettier, I've seen better gameplay, I've seen better dialogue (not that you could hear it, what with the crowd.) I don't doubt that it'll be an overall decent game, but I don't think it'll push any envelopes. Same thing with Oblivion, really.

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Dragon Age, hell, Morrowind.

Mind you, I don't feel really comfortable judging this thing until it comes out, so take what I say here with a grain of salt. I wasn't impressed with the demo (it doesn't help that Todd Howard is a cynical bastard and half of what we saw was very likely scripted,) the game itself may actually be better than it sounds.

I consider them both Western RPGs, so I think the comparison is more than fair. Do you wanna narrow it down a bit? Cause I'd be game.

First part is more than fair; I actually kinda wish they'd focused a bit more on talking to NPCs during the demo so I could get a better feel for it. I dunno, the crowd made it impossible to hear anything.

Anyway, it all felt very milquetoast, very "seen this." It's probably functional enough, I guess. It felt like I was watching a prettier Oblivion, complete with Gamebryo's stilted animation.

I was thinking more of the theme. Fantasy.

I guess I don't get what the point of posting in this topic is. Skyrim is a known commodity, even before the first screen leaked. It's a set formula that's not going to change, if you don't like that formula, then you're not going to like anything they present you. Pretty simple.

How about "open-world RPGs"? Deus Ex isn't open world, there is not anywhere the level of freedom and random crap you can do than in Skyrim. Likewise, because of its linearity, Deus Ex gives you a more focused and concentrated control over the events in the story, while Skyrim is more general sandbox.

STALKER would be a better comparison to Skyrim than Deus Ex, and even then I wouldn't say it's a good comparison.

Hey, I liked Morrowind. Still play it, too. I just wish Bethesda would get back to creating worlds and not just sandboxes where wooden characters give you stuff to do.

And I'm not trying to rabble rouse or anything, just start a discussion.

Goin' off experience. The first Oblivion demo barely had anything to do with the actual game we got, to name an example.

And yeah, STALKER works as a comparison, though its dialogue is almost purely functional in nature. You rarely get an accurate feel for characters in those games.
