Which is more popular here?

[Very7684]

I have seen certain people saying that a lot of people really don't like Legend of Zelda, But rather they only like The Elder Scrolls. Now before you say anything about me being a "fanboy" or whatever, I like both so this is all you guys.

And before I forget, no I don't have Skyward Sword...but it looks good I am a big fan of the old stuff though

Hmm...while I think Skyrim is more popular, I'd have to say Skyward Sword is better.

[Lord Sinister]

Hm, popularity. I've never played a Zelda game, but I have been playing Skyrim and enjoying that sooo...

I'm not a fan of Zelda games. I don't dislike them but I get nowhere without guides. Even with guides I still never got through OOT. A good series, but not my series.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I'm not a fan of either of those.

I used to love Zelda, but now its kinda just bored me I guess.. I just wanna go through the dungeons and stuff I don't care about the plot (And they take forever to explain the plot! Which it is almost always the same. ) They spend forever trying to explain the basics (which it made sense in OOT the 3 dimensional environment was new) but now we get it! just skip that or make the tutorial optional.

 

 

I'm not familiar with the Oblivion series, so I don't have a opinion on it.. I like the soundtracks though

I'm pretty sure you mean the Elder Scrolls series.

I'm fan of both series', but I'm more of a Zelda dork. However, I'm even more of a Bethesda fanboy for their Fallout games so my loyalty to the developer compels me to defend Skyrim as well.

 

You know what, I'm writing in Batman: Arkham City as my answer. Fuck it.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I'm more of a Deus Ex fan, although franchise-wise I'd say Fallout is my favourite.

[Eedo Baba]

They seem like completely different games to me. I don't see what the point of comparing them is.

 

Anyway, I never liked Zelda games, for a few reasons. The main one is that the designers seem to give no original regard to the game's style or story, just focusing all energy on game mechanics. And as much as some Nintendo fans will insist that this is a recipe for success, it isn't at all. It creates a lopsided mess with more faults than virtues, constantly dragging the player through a world they find uninteresting and unoriginal, the only comfort being the relatively well designed gameplay.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, but the Zelda games do have very interesting and memorable characters, that's something every Zelda fan can testify to, especially from OoT and onward.

No I meant to say Bauldur's Gate.

I think I might have caused this thread....

Skyrim. Though I haven't played SS, all of the Zelda games since OOT I've played feel exactly the same.

[Arby]

Majora's Mask and Windwaker managed to do something fresh with the old Zelda formula, but most tiles are fairly forumlaic, not just with Zelda really but with most of Nintendo's standbys. They give almost always deliver solid gameplay though,meaning that even if Link is still rescuing Zelda after 20 years its still fun.

 

Skyrim is a different breed of game altogether and a comparison is largely pointless, as said above, but I will say that i find myself waaaay more engrossed in Tamriel than I ever could be in Hyrule, which by, now I can't see as anything but an excuse to get me to the dungeons and bosses.
