Pretty much most fanboys are assholes. They look at whatever company they follow as infallible and faultless.

Fixed. They actually have a board for system wars.... A fucking entire message board DEDICATED to that shit.... And its exactly what you would expect. Exactly what you would expect....
I'm really enjoying Skyward Sword, and I just did the pre-dungeon 4 stuff. I guess the rest of the game is going to blow my socks off. 
My only complaint is that Xenoblade is nowhere to be seen. Unless I'm blind. But seriously, that game was fucking excellent.
Also, their Minecraft review text was really well put - sums up exactly what has made the game such a phenomenon.

EA flat-out lied a lot this year too. Skyrim PS3 is indefensible, but it's one sizeable incident, compared to a cavalcade of ignorance from EA.
I didn't notice it much. If anything, I noticed its tendency to deceive players using their pre-conceptions of how puzzles and fights should play out.
Oh I agree. Ubisoft shouldn't be there. Actually, it's been a generally poor year for publishers...

so that's not really the game's issue isn't it? You want a tighter experience, you don't play Zelda because everyone knows it will have fetch quests, padding, fusions, cubes, hearts, bottles, and such crap 99% of the time. I personally think most of the filler is well done and not THAT annoying in SS, not enough to detract from the excellence
That wasn't in SW though, it was in the general gaming discussion.

Amen.
Zelda needs to cut the fat badly. I could've put up with the controls if I was doing interesting stuff, not fetch quest and revisiting areas constantly.

I only speak as someone who has played and thoroughly enjoyed all the previous zeldas before Twilight Princess.
I mean Ocarina of time and LTTP are some of my favourite games ever.
Again no point getting into this discussion since it's just a clash of opinions, but meh.
All I'm saying is that if this is the direction Zelda will be heading then I'm done with it. Which is a shame.

Should check out the spoiler topic, users have compiled a list of series references.

What game deserves what? Game of the year 2011?
Or...my top 25 games that are the best I have played? Or what?
No...no I don't think Skyrim is the end-all be-all. I think it's pretty enjoyable but I also think that lack of innovation around the combat in the game as well as the botched version on the PS3 should exclude it from winning game of the year although I think it should place top ten maybe?
I said "less." Though, that would fall under "jackass" and/or "dumbass", imo.

it's understandable, due to time constraint and personal taste you just had enough of the filler. But Zelda will keep featuring this stuff, it just cannot have the fast pacing, cube-sized levels seen Galaxy

Regardless, I was taken back at how lacking it was with blatant callbacks. It's certainly no Twilight Princess. Nostalgia wouldn't have factored into EDGE's decision.

It's still broken.
It's completely fucked up actually.
I love Dark Souls dearly, but it doesn't deserve the award.

For reference.. if I HAD to.. My GOTY would be Portal 2.

I actually think I like MK7 more than 3D Land, but it's very close. I think I'm just a MK junkie. : /

I love the in between quests.
Their definition of mainstream is not indie. So Dark Souls classifies.

I have been reading this thread, and this is the third time I have read this exact same sentence, if you were in front of my face, I would literally throw up in your face due to how disgustingly this attitude of yours felt.
Just get over it, you are a damn idiot if you think he factually doesn't deserve the right of thinking a 90+ universally rated game to be one of the best games he have ever played.
edit: Also, at least bring a single fact that supports your idea instead of pushing forward your trollish sentences.
This. Online was, and still is, so fucked. It's ridiculous to call it the best online experience. Just give it to an MMO. Don't care which one. They all have better online experiences than Dark Souls.

lol, seems online really had some serious lasting issues:
what went wrong with it? was the problem wide spead, a bug, or it had conceptual problems?

I really loathed when I played Skyrim on the PC soon after it came out; the controls sucked and the mouse pointing was just useless, it was shameful for a game which had so much root in PC. I voted for it as the failure of the year. However, ask me in a few months after patching and modding is done, and I will most probably talk about is a 'holy grail' for gaming lol

as do i, but Zelda titles are the only 30+ hour games that seem able to hold my attention. loved Fallout 3, but couldn't play it for the 40 or 50 hours i played Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skywards Sword. you can't even pin it down to nostalgia because Wind Waker was the first Zelda game i played.
i think everyone loves the dungeons, and the reaction to the rest of it is mixed, but that doesn't preclude some of us from enjoying 'the rest of it' as much.
sure, that one bit felt a tad like padding (see what i did there?) but i thought there was a good variety of content between dungeons this time, and the tadtone section look me all of ten minutes. sure, it sticks out as 'padding' but we're talking ten minutes of a game i spent more than fourty hours playing.
not sure if it's my game of the year, but it's certainly a game i'm considering for it.
I still don't understand how that section could be considered padding.
You didn't like it? Ok, but it was something you never did before in the game. It was in a different environment and all the rules have changed... How is this padding?

Dark Souls online worked pretty well for me when I got it. Most of the freezing issue were fixed after the initial patch and that is before I got my copy.
Probably worked well for me cause I got dem ports opened.

Agreed. Its my current front runner for GOTY and Super Mario 3D Land or Mario Kart 7 would have to be fucking mindblowing to stand a chance at unseating it.

Good for Zelda!
EDGE is probably the only magazine (beyond Nintendo ones) that will reward a sub-HD game built over motion controls.
I wouldn't mind seeing there Xenoblade (since EDGE is European) or Portal 2. Even Deus Ex. Or, of course, Skyrim. But I'm happy with the choice.

SR3 doesn't seem be resonating all that well with the British press, at least based on what I've seen.
Did you have mute on for all of them?

Purely because of how much stuff you have to collect I think. Its just a fetch quest diversion that's less interesting than the trials by far. those were exciting and tense. The tadtones just felt like busy work.
I don't know I loved it. It was an excellent change of pace IMO and it just felt relaxing. To each his own I guess.
