And honestly, that did not impress me. Skyrim was the game for a long time. Look at this nonsense: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4594-best-of-2011-game-of-the-year https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4962-best-of-2012-game-of-the-generation-2006-2012 Lots of Nintendo LFF going around, but still. Going from that to squeaking by a well-regarded Gamecube game and getting crushed by SM64 is disappointing. Skyrim represents the apex of what a western game can accomplish on GameFAQs, and it didn't accomplish that much, all things considered. Maybe I'm underselling being #16 in the X-stats but Skyrim DOMINATED gaming while it was at its peak. I'm not sure it's still at its peak. The game is still very well-liked, but at this point people are kind of tired of Bethesda's shit. Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 have shown how little the company is willing to advance, and some of that ill will has turned back towards Skyrim. People rolled with the fact that Skyrim's engine and mechanics were Oblivion+, but the subsequent games also being Oblivion+ is eeeeh. It's not a huge factor but your company's name getting dragged through the mud never helpes. It still win this match though. Take a look: Skyrim (2015g) VS Pokemon G/S/C (2015g) Skyrim has a strength of 34.93. Pokemon G/S/C has a strength of 33.68. Skyrim wins with 51.79% of the vote! I'm not going to reiterate my feelings on HGSS from the Nier writeup, as it would be a lot of repeating myself, but essentially? Even if Skyrim is a little weaker this time around, HGSS not being GSC matters more. You can still roll with HGSS, and it could still win, but I'm reminded of the previous Game of the Decade contest where people took GSC to win the contest and that didn't turn out so great. Expected Results Skyrim > HGSS 55 - 45 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:935554470] in In-Depth C...
