Elder Scrolls vs Street Fighter
Posted: April 4th, 2011, 8:13 pm
So I saw this match-up advertised on elderstats a few times in past couple days and it made me lol. Apparently, g4 decided to do game series match ups (without giving any more thought on that account). It was street fighter vs the elder scrolls and my oh my, I saw some really stupid posts from a majority of elder scrolls fans.
Hey, I'll come out and say it, I like both series. Street fighter revolutionized fighting games and practically brought Capcom to where it is today. The elder scrolls redefined the standard for WRPGs and gave Bethesda kingship over rpgs for some time. In all honesty, I'm glad the match up ended 48% to 52% in TES' favor but unfortunately, it revealed an ugly truth too.
Perhaps, I'm being a bit melodramatic when I state the following: A good majority of TES fans lack variety in gaming taste. It's either TES or GTFO with many of the fans, so I've noticed. Perhaps, it's because I visit sites like g4, gamefaqs, kongregate, etc etc and only seem to find the opinions of complete imbeciles. I haven't ever done an actual study or poll but I have noticed...things.
Maybe, I've just had a run of bad luck these past 3 years anytime I visit forums AND maybe TES players do like a variety of games, but I have YET to see otherwise. TES players will run the gauntlet to show their undying loyalty to the series...SF players will run the gauntlet to prove which character is the god tier and who can pull off the sickest combo (along with the occasional "Daigo? Scrub or Pro? discussions) but when it comes to best game (especially fighting genre), the answers range from SSF4 to clay fighter and anything betwixt the 2.
Such a sad stigma, this could turn out to be.
Now, onto the point (>) of the thread. Do people here solely prefer TES over any other game series or do you have an even greater guilty (GEAR!) pleasure?
