And add to the fact that Smash had a awful Single player

I could understand if you said this about Smash 4, but Ultimate's single player is great!

sure if you think repetitive world of light mode is great. It was fun for about 6 or so hours. Got old and boring fast

i Jean since they added home run the single player is better but they need to add target tests.

and I agree about smash 4. But everyone knows that is bad.

Also, I haven't been following the topic too closely, but is there any chance that BotW doesn't win this contest handily?

SSBU is its closest competition in my book...but when we saw LoZ:BotW beats P5 and SMO worse than SSBU beats GoW, that's tough to bet against. Also, LoZ:MM upset SSBB in the last GotD-contest.

Skyrim could benefit from respect points in this contest, but I'm wondering if it's more of a top-five caliber game for this contest than an actual contender for #1.

The Witcher III is probably scarier than the rest of the non-BotW heavy hitters put together simply because I could see its fans bothering to rally it to victory.

Just realized yesterday's poll was the only "Best of 2020" poll that reached 10k+ votes, and roughly 1,000 votes ahead of the Semifinal vote.

I would've figured the votals would be the same or lower on both days, but people become hyped with final matches, it seems.

The 3-way poll was on a Saturday, and I've documented on numerous occasions that Saturday produces the lowest average vote totals during the week. Saturday vote totals are around 10% worse than any other day of the week. Monday-Thursday produces the highest average vote totals, followed by Friday/Sunday next (about even for both days), and Saturday last.

Nah. Rather see OoT vs BOTW.

Or OoT Vs FF7 during the time Remake is out

Or the REAL...yes REAL final of 2015. OoT vs Chrono Trigger. The final that was stolen from us.

So OoT should double clobber it.

BotW is quite possibly the third strongest Zelda now.

MM's strength is vastly overrated dude.

BOTW would easily beat it. like an easy 55-45 or 54-46.

MM should have lost to FFX. LEts be real here. I mean i'm glad it didnt because it would have meant that garbage Brawl winning GOTD but still. FFX got robbed

it probably will do. LttP only shows up when its a multipoll when the 3D zelda fanbase is split open with several strong games

But 1 v1 yeah BOTW could and would beat it now.

And i'm not saying Annihilate.

On any normal website BotW clobbers Majora, sure, but this is a website where the userbase is full of nostalgic 30+ year olds who thinks the glory days of gaming are long past.

BotW vs Windwaker is probably the more interesting matchup at this point.

BOTW annihilates everything other than Ocarina or Past.

I dont think the people saying otherwise understand how absolutely absurdly popular that game is.

BOTW could be my fav game this gen. It restored my faith in Zelda games after that turdfest that was SS and the disappointing TP.

Thats the point. Nostalgia only works so far.

BOTW is so good it can counter Nostaglia. Mainly because its so Different compared to other Zelda games

Why is Galaxy and most likely Odyssey stronger than Sunshine? shouldn't Sunshine have nostaglia power? Hell Galaxy 2 i d take over Sunshine.

You don't have nostalgia if people don't like you that much to start with, hence Sunshine has nothing.

And also this

Right, which is why I wouldn't for example take the original Legend of Zelda (which is mostly just respected-- not a ton of huge fans really), Link's Awakening (just not enough playership-- kind of a cult favorite really), or Adventures of Link (heh) over BotW despite them all being older.

Majora's Mask has its fair share of lingering love, though.

How long are nomination periods usually up? I'm getting pretty hyped for this contest, but I have basically no time to be here until after the 24th. Might just end up nominating the guru choice and 9 favorite games of the decade without looking at what the board wants to get in.

no the real travesty is it not winning outright.

im glad it did so well because that game is a fucking masterpiece. And it was a technical side show. The remake isnt going to be eligible but Id vote for that as well.

thats a game thats true art. Not shit like Death stranding.

Thanks to Luster for letting me know about this contest.

Huh, apparently I won 10th prize in the last main contest. Didnt even realize I hadnt logged in since then, so I didnt get the notification.

Says the prize would be sent to my email, but I dont remember getting any email.

Anybody know what the prize was? I assume its probably way too late to try and collect now.
