Why is Zelda not on this list?

Bunch of BS. It's cool if you aren't big fan of Wii or GC but omitting Zelda from that poll is beyond distinguished mentally-challenged.

Beezy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 11, 2006, 11:56:31 PM »

Zelda must have been omitted because it's already the game of the millenium. Right? RIGHT?!

GilloD · « **Reply #4 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:04:47 AM »

Where is Gears of War? This poll sucks. $:-\$

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #5 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:37:30 AM »

Wii and PS3 had lousy launch lineups, so they're excluded. Rainbow 6 is a better version of Gears, so a vote for it is also a vote for Gears -- plus you get the added bonus of voting for the superior game. Same thing for Okami and Zelda -- Okami is better than Twilight Princess, so a vote for Okami is like a vote for TP.

Beezy · « **Reply #6 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:42:56 AM »

Drinky you ho. I refuse to vote on your crappy list!

Lame. I'll vote when it's a real poll for Game of the Year.

I'm sorry Zelda turned out so, well, ugly and kinda tedious.

Okami is really pretty and kinda tedious, so play that and maybe you'll feel better!

Besides, do folks REALLY wanna play as Link any more? The whole gay elf thang just kinda wore out its welcome. Sorry, man, them's the facts. Take your complaints up with reality!

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:47:02 AM »

Tigerriot: seriously, what other games could be contenders? Everything else is simply too flawed.

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:48:10 AM »

Okami is weasauce.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:50:59 AM »

TP is wiiksauce!

You gotta look past the fact that it didn't have an elf in tights to the superior overworld and dungeon design, the better-than-TP graphics, and the superior gameplay innovations. Nitpick the "brush" all you want, but it beats the same bow/bomb/boomerang/hookshot paradigm Nintendo's been milking!

Is this really a serious question?

I think you know darn well that Gears of War should be on that list. The same goes for Zelda.

GilloD · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:53:08 AM »

I voted for yggggdgaradar union because I assumed that was code for "Gear of War". Everyone else should do the same

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:54:46 AM »

No, Gears of War is demonstrably inferior to Rainbow 6 -- R6 does level design and the cover mechanics LIGHT YEARS better, and it has better co-op play.

Okami does Zelda better -- it has better graphics, art direction, and overall gameplay innovation.

No reason to include also-rans just because they have hype, nostalgia, and/or GAF-style groupthink behind 'em!

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:55:09 AM »

I put WoW on there 'cuz it's the ONLY game some folks played this year.

Tigerriot · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:58:46 AM »

It's quite obvious this is really just Drinky's games of the year list. Why don't you just get it over with and tell us your game of the year. /thread

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:59:04 AM »

I did -- Company of Heroes, on the PC! I'm acknowledging that some of you limpwristed swishy types aren't man enough to play games on your PC and prefer a neutered console experience, so I'm throwing out some quality options. You could at LEAST be civil enough to pick from the inarguable best of the console/handheld selection, at least.

Wobe, vote for Okami -- it's like Zelda, but with better graphics and greater innovation, and minus a poorly-designed and oh-so-tired franchise character!

yes it would, Viz. also trade in GoW and get R6Vegas.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #26 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:33:15 AM »

Well, I still haven't played Okami yet so I voted for VP2. Awesome poll, would vote in again, etc etc.

TVC15 · « **Reply #27 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:20:53 AM »

Yes, Okami is better than Zelda. But it's still not game of the year. R6 has brought new levels of shooter bliss to the world.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #28 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:23:50 AM »

Not all of us are nintendo fans that have to convince ourselves that every game is the best ever in order to make us feel good about a meager software lineup.

It's a good game, but there were better ones released this year.

How many of the R6 3 games came out on PC? I have to say I'm kind of unfamiliar with the series past the first 2 games. I tried looking at Ubi's webpage and it gave no indication on whether it was coming for PCs, nor what systems it was actually releasing for.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #35 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:38:57 AM »

I had to scrounge through their site, but it seems like it is coming out on PC. Woo.

It's not the DC Game of the Year thread -- if you have some suggestions for entries that DON'T HAVE DEMONSTRABLY BETTER EQUIVALENTS, go ahead and suggest 'em, and I'll add 'em to the poll. Again, Okami is demonstrably better than Zelda, nostalgia aside, and R6 Vegas is likewise demonstrably better than Gears of War. Don't hate, fanboys; appreciate!

Jump button. No repetition. Good visuals.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #49 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:40:43 PM »

Okami has awesome art direction and revolutionary visuals -- a leap beyond even Wind Waker's style.
Okami replaces menu futzing and tired item archetypes with the unique Celestial Brush system.
Okami has tighter integration between dungeons and the overworld, and has more imaginative dungeons.
Okami is a new and original IP, not a silly tired franchise one that features a goofy fey elf.
Okami has a soundtrack lightyears beyond TP, and better overall sound direction to boot.

Far more worthy for GotY honors!

Himu · « **Reply #50 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:42:25 PM »

How does Okami have no reptition when the whole game you're just doing stupid lines and circles and shit? It gets repetitive by the 10th hour.

HEY LOOK I'M FEEDING ANIMALS

HEY LOOK I'M DRAWING LILLYPADS ON THE WATER BECAUSE THIS FUCKING DOG CAN'T SWIM MORE THAN 1 MILE PER HOUR!

Okami was more reptitve than any Zelda in existence. It's not better than any Zelda game, in fact, it's just below Adventures of Link.

Just because you prefer to trip on nostalgia and don't mind Zelda's more tired analogs to the Okami Way (tm THE FUTURE) doesn't mean your take has any objective weight!

Okami was more reptitve than any Zelda in existence. It's not better than any Zelda game, in fact, it's just below Adventures of Link.

Actually, TP's entire existence is repetitious. It's the 4th console Zelda game in a row that plays identically to its predecessor, except in a new environment. The series hasn't really evolved since OoT.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #59 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:04:50 PM »

Hey, look, no Zelda!

This poll is heavily flawed.

Zelda was omitted because if it was on this poll, it would win, which would make the five or six people determined to hate Nintendo cry their eyes out.

Okami is a good game, but I'm sorry, TP beats it out this year. It had a damn good story and it was very lengthy. Sure, Okami was pretty, but Zelda had better controls. It's not better than Twilight Princess.

My suggestion to those who say it doesn't belong on this thread: play the game. I know it's the cool thing to hate Nintendo these days because that's what all the cool kids on the internets do, but come on, don't do something as stupid as omit Zelda from a fucking GOTY thread when all these fucking people on this forum think it is.

Bloodwake's Game of the Year: Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's better than fucking Okami. Okami, to me, is just a Zelda rip-off with pretty graphics.
