By the virtue of being larger, more complete and overall better? There's a lot more quality games on the market now, so it's much easier for Skyrim to be disappointing than it was for Morrowind to be disappointing when it came out.
Both Oblivion and Morrowind were mechanically and technically broken in ways that would be considered unforgivable today, and both of them got away with a lot by the virtue of just looking damn good (at the time) and merely having a full open world. Skyrim may be mediocre by today's standards, but at least it's functional design-wise and well executed.

U have AC2 and rev, but no brotherhood/ac1/ac3??
NO MARIO RPG among other games that are easily the best in the series.
NO SF4AE......
No Simcity 4.....
And the most important, no final fantasy 2/4. The first game I ever beat
I could go on for days....
I'm sorry, but people could nominate games for a month now in the last thread. And people did nominate games. A LOT of games. I simply compiled them and organized them in 16 genres to make a clean tournament. It's inevitable that a few games will be left out, but that's because nobody mentioned them. Also, Mario RPG is in the RPG bracket.
Also, I'd like to mention that the brackets are still malleable. If there is enough interest in any particular game that I've omitted, such as Sim City 4, I can make sure that Sim City 4 is in the bracket and it's first competitor is the winner from the Sim City poll today.

You can. Fire Emblem is in the Turn-Based Strategy bracket.

How is broodwar not one of the Best RTS games selected by TL ? ........... You've got to be kidding me. T_T do you think starcraft would be a fair entry into an (attempted, at least) objective poll for best video game on a forum that is focused on starcraft?
"Objective poll" is kind of an oxymoron.

I'm gonna be cheering for:
Action: Contra
Classics: Tetris
Platformer: Mega Man (unfortunately Super Meat Boy's not on here. I suck at platformers and got into them recently and I freaking love Super Meat Boy. It's my fav platformer. It's brutal, but brutal in all the right ways)
RPG: Dragon Quest (DQ3 is my favourite RPG ever, I'm surprised DQ3 vs DQ4 poll is so close!)
Simulation: Sim City
Turn based strategy: HoMM3 atm (let's be honest, when we see HoMM, our brains automatically think HoMM3), though I very recently started playing Civ and that is a worthy game (I've only played the 3rd best in the series, according to the poll. Wow, how many hundreds of hours am I gonna spend with Civ 4?)
People are always gonna bitch about "best games" lists or polls. Everyone has different tastes so things ARE going to be omitted

Uh, I don't think I see Tribes anywheres in this list :/.

I enjoyed Oblivion' and Morrowind's quests much more than Skyrim's quests.
I also never got bored of Oblivion or Morrowind, while I got bored of Skyrim in the first 30-40 hours of it.

Because Skyrim was the first TeS game for so many people, probably one of their first RPG's even. That's why.

Even tho CoD1 and CoD2 are some of my favorite FPS games (and ez the best ww2 games) I gotta hand the multiplayer to CoD2 here. It's just so good, even today it's still strong. But I think CoD1 single player was more epic. I still remember in the beginning of the russian campaign when you get ashore from the boats with bullets flying over your head, every other man gets handed a rifle and you pulled the short straw so you have to crawl around waiting for a comrade to die so you can get your hands on a rifle. Good stuff.

WTF, Bad Company 2 is the best out of all the battlefield games.

That's what I voted. Bad Co. 2 is fucking amazazazazing!

Why is the bracket set to where the 1 seed will play the 2 seed in round 2? High seeds should always start on the outside and then move inside from there

wtf is going on in some of the polls?
SF2>SF3? Seriously?
Half-Life2>Half-Life? HL reinvented a whole new era of fps. The game was praised as the best game of 1998 by tons of magazines and fan votes (in the same year StarCraft was released!)

I maintain that Age of Empires 3 is the most underrated PC game of all time. The game brought so many new and unique aspects to RTS like auto building workers, shipment system, training stuff into groups at a time etc. All the different factions were very cool and unique (although not rly balanced) and the graphics at the time were superb.
Why it never got popular I will never know

I didn't make the brackets in the traditional sense. Instead, I tried to group games most similar to each other to face one another first. This probably resulted in many "favorites" competing relatively soon.

The shipment system ruined it for me. Keep those RPG mechanics out of my RTS games.
