Yes, BotW sucked all the fun out of it Probably, it wasn't as exciting knowing who would win Not really, the overall journey is better than the destination Not at all, BotW's stompings were awesome/I liked having free points!

Axl_Rose_85 12/07/20 12:15:25 AM #17:	BotW is the only Zelda game that has won a contest which has my stamp of approval. Not that it is my favorite game of its decade but it is a title deserving of GotD I would have enjoyed the contest more if it didn't have the 2 games per series cap. On the plus side it was fun to see a lot of the indie trash get absolutely obliterated. <cite>Axl_Rose_85 posted [p:948007696] in Would you ...

Like I'm doing a 2008 PCA as we speak and this is just factually wrong. Matches involved with rallies get higher vote totals. You're free to not like rallies but arguing against factual data is just sheer stupidity. Also, matches don't even get 30k anymore because the crybabies got what they wanted. I'm looking at all these matches getting 130k+ and wondering why anyone who actively stifle that environment. --- https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page <cite>PostContestUlti posted [p:948007877] in Would you ...
