I promise I will never use the word again... ever.

Damn it, you stole my post, except I was going to use at least one more ever.

edit: We should be able to use our VG$ to buy the right to veto the use of certain words in threads/thread titles.  For example, if enough people contribute enough of their VG$ we should be allowed to effectively ban the use of the word "Pachter", just for example.  I could nearly make a thread based on this, "What word would you spend your VG$ to see banned?"

It's quite simple really, OP. The constant use of 'best game evar' to refer to PS3 games a simple case of base irony. Everyone knows the following two facts:

1: All those games are for the PS3
2: The PS3 doesn't have any games.

Ergo, God of War 3, Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2 don't exist, and are merely an elaborate in-joke among PS3 fanboys. FF13 exists, but only for the 360. By saying they are the 'best game ever', you purport to have played these mythical/fictional games, which is patently ridiculous, and claiming they are all the 'best ever' isn't contradictory, because none of them actually exist.

(I need to stop drinking so much. I can't tell if I'm trolling or counter-trolling)



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

Wii Fit Plus is the best Wii Fit OF ALL TIME.

Yo Rubang, i'm real happy fo ya, and imma gonna let you finish.



Well it's not unlike people to get lost in the hype of a playthrough with a game. There are lots of games I've played and thought were amazing, and after it settled in for awhile I thought less of it. Sometimes as gamers we need to let the experience soak in before we start making truth claims I suppose.

I do think we should use it a little less, but different tastes for many. There are some out there that might think those are some of the best games ever (and I could concur on most accept for KZ2). I just would also hope these people would respect other's opinions and tastes and not create a topic out of it every time it happens. A little modesty goes a long way.

Why?

Cause MGS4 IS in fact the best game EVER! How would you like me to say that? MGS4 is the best game of all time? I guess I could live with that is it really necessary though?

Also, with all the negativity surrounding FFXIII, I'm surprised people are saying it's the best game of all time.

Lastly, don't you agree that video games are ever evolving? I believe they are. Honestly, coming from someone who'se been around since the NES days, video games are progressively getting better. So don't be surprised if the next generation creates the next "BEST GAME EVER!!!one one"

But at the end of the day: MGS4 = greatest game EVER!

MGS4 is a game? I thought it was a movie with some game elements.

Please don't start this here.

LOL....it's true, but i guess i'll give.

Wow so as a gamer I must be seriousley pathetic...

LOL...I sold the game to my roommate because he said he wanted to destroy everything in it. He bought all the premium weapons found all the respawn points and killed everything just to get some action out of the game. It was hilarious when he found respawn points because the bodies kept piling up. The CQC was horrible when it should've evolved from MGS3. You rely too much on a gun in this game. MGS5 on the PSP has a better chance of being a bigger GAME than MGS4. I'm not insulting you as a gamer, but that was more a movie than a game.

P.S.

How do you like the Commander Shepard avatar?

I gotta get used to seeing him instead of Light every time I sign in, but other than that I think it should be fine lol.

Another month and I can go back to sweet sweet FFXIII.

No, because Half-Life 2 actually IS the best game ever made, and has been since 2004.



here, here. We live in a superlative world: preaching the scripture ain't gonna do much to change it.



Maybe we can use the phrase "Its the best game since..."
Yeah that'll be better
