One of the heaviest arguments on SW these days is GeOW vs Zelda TP for GOTY. I entered one of these threads a few days ago and the thread creator, I can't recall his username, disgusted me by blindly saying how overrated GeOW is and how amazing Zelda TP is going to be and how it will completely destroy GeOW. Before I go on any further let me say that I believe that Zelda TP is in the 9 range guaranteed, and the same for GeOW. I believe that both games will be great ones that we'll all be playing for years to come, however I do NOT believe that Zelda TP's score for the Wii will surpass GeOW's score for the 360 (please hold your flames..).

I was sick of the bashing of such an obviously astounding game from the Zelda TP fans so I decided to take a stand on behalf of all GeOW fans, a stand that could cost me my privileges at the gamespot forums forever. When the thread creator created his topic he stated if GeOW surpassed Zelda TP’s score then he would leave the forums, so to make it interesting, I made the reverse bet…this is exactly what I said:

 

“ill make a deal with you buddy, if Zelda TP for the wii gets a higher
score than GeOW by gamespot I WILLL LEAVE the forums forever.”

Now I can either become the biggest (you know what) in the forums, or be known as a prophet :O … ok maybe not but I’d be on the better end of this.. ;) I still stand 100% firm in my decision, and if it came down to where Zelda TP gets a better score than GeOW I would stay true to my promise and leave the gamespot forums forever happily, which I highly doubt will happen. Do I think the person I made this bet with will keep his end of the bargain if he loses? Probably not, unless he wants to post here and say otherwise.

Call me brave, call me a fool, call me a brave fool…it makes no difference. The bets have been placed.

Let the quoting begin! :P

If GeOW gets a higher score than TP, but TP gets GOTY will you leave then? Or only if it gets lower score.

Da Bomb's reasoning behind his bet is that the graphics won't get a high score for the Wii and the controls won't get a 10.  Sound reasoning actually.

ok well, just so u know, ocarina of time got a perfect 10. nintendo's saying that this is their best zelda yet,
better than OoT. and if it isn't better, it could still get a 10 (same score) or 9.8-9.9

so u have a good chance of loosing..

How could Twilight Princess not be game of the year? Almost every freaking Zelda is Game of the Year, and everybody who's played Twilight Princess in depth is saying this is the best Zelda game ever.

I must admit I was wrong about you, DA_BOMB. When I first saw your quote in someone's sig, I automatically assumed you were a biased lemming, like the guy in MY sig who bets that Zelda won't get more than an 8.5 and Gears will be 9.1. But after reading this post, you are actually being mature and just sticking to your guns *no pun intended*. I STRONGLY believe you will lose, but I will no longer be going, "Haha, what a jackass, he deserved it."

I made the same sort of bet with someone with Saints Row. He only had to leave for 3 months or so. Our bet was he said it Saints Row wouldn't score above a 6.9, and I said it's a guarenteed 8. So, I won the bet, and I'm not even sure if he held up to it. He never posted much to begin with (level 3 or so) but I haven't seen him back since nor do i recall his name. Oh well.
