OoT was a bencchmark for gaming...GTA4 is just GTA3 with bells and whistles.

However trusting one gaming site on the supposed best game ever isnt the best strategy i guess

Ocarina back on top, gaming populace outside of ninty fanboys back to not caring.

I agree with colonelstubbs post too.

Except GTA4 is GTA3 with bells and whistles AND online multiplayer.



Its really a stupid comparison considering only 33 critics rated Ocarina compared to 58 plus critics for GTA4 and if both released today head to head gamers would pick up GTA4.

The fact is GTA4 is the best all around game to play today!

I personally liked Ocarina alot and havent gotten into GTA4 enough to comment
but it would be really intresting to compare rating by Game Informer and critics that rated both games to see how close they are.

drop all the nintendo magazine ratings xbox magazine and PS3 magazine and see how it compares then!

Its kinda like saying the Celtics of the 60's were the best team ever cause of their 9 championships. But that team would get killed today! I would personally rather go back and play FF7 or Halo combat evolved!

So individual rating dont matter to me as much as quality game experience and story! The more I play Zelda games the more Its the same story rewritten with all the same gameplay!

I find it funny how Halo series gets bashed for not changing enough up yet all the classic game franchises do the same if not worse!

Oh well CONGRATS Ocarina!



Ocarina had it's faults, too. It's just the fact that the critics seem to somehow completely ignore GTA4's flaws (which do exist) and pile on perfect scores as if they're afraid to do otherwise.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

i was really looking forward to this good news
OOT isnt the best game ever for me, but i really cant argue against it being the best reviewed game, considering it was flawless. a agme like GTAIV with some obvious problems really shouldnt be ahead, or it would mean a broken internet review system
by the way ,anyone ever wondered if sites start reviewing old games, will they dare give super mario bros anything but a perfect score?

With just 31 reviews GTAIV could have got 100% score. So Ocarina is hardly the best game ever.

I can't tell you how glad I am that a game based on gratuitous violence and sophomoric dialogue is not the greatest game ever.

  I was going to type here about how moronic your statement was, how in your little pre-teen world some of the greatest movies of all time, like Godfather, Scheindlers List and Momento would never have been made.  Or how you obviously never played GTA IV, as that besides emphasizing the absurdity of the world with its dialog it also contains one of, if not the best stories written for a video game. How it might be the best social commentary and satire on the market today, including books and movies...

 

I was also going to point out how the fact that OoT is just "Zelda: Rehashed for the 10th time, but we got it completely right this time" and a kid wearing green tights and squealing like a pig when he swings his sword hardly made me question the world around me, or look at it in a new way. How that game never made me make a decision that actually made me stop and think about it. It was fun, it was a great game, dont get me wrong.

 

But really it all just boils down to two words, so I'll use them instead.

 

Shut up. 



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

To Rock on 2008 

Wow, Ive been reading and commenting on these forums for a few months now and that has to be the single most uninformed comment i have ever read. It is painfully obvious that you have no real game industry knowledge outside of your precious Playstation, and it's also people like you that make me hate Sony fanboys.

Fact: If it wasn't for Nintendo the Playstation wouldn't even exist, it was originally created to be an add-on for the SNES.

Fact: Had Nintendo not brought back videogames in 1985 after Atari destroyed the industry you wouldn't have yopur precious Playstation.

Learn you history before you mock fantastic games, just because it isn't on your system of choice doesn't mean the game isn't a classic.



Remember your history or you are doomed to repeat it.

Im keeping seeing these threads is Ocarina of Time really that good?

I think that it's the best Legend of Zelda game ever. If you like action/adventure games, this is as good as it gets.

Much better than link to the past and twilight princess?

 I haven't read all the posts yet, but I'm assuming somebody has already said this:

"TP was an absolute joke of a Zelda game that is best forgotten. Lttp and MM are the only comparable Zelda's to OoT, and opinions differ from fan to fan" 



By life end:

  • Wii- 100 million+
  • Xbox360- 35~40 million
  • PS3- 30 million
  • PSP- 30~32 million ------------- FAILURE
  • NDS- 85~90 million (Skeptical)  - FAILURE
  • NDS- 100 million+ (Optimistic) -- Success!

 

 

Some quotes from Rock_on_2008 and my thoughts:

"People who create these type of threads obviously have no life. A can of worms is opened every time a thread like this is created."

That's slightly hypocritical coming from someone with a post count over 10 times the size of mine and who is a "hardcore" gamer who thinks Ocarina was on the NES.

"PS360 fans are not happy with this news. Gamerankings has zero credibility. Review scores go missing just to boost the OoT scores."

When Ocarina's review disappeared the average score went down, not up.

"I hate to break it to you people. Gamerankings is owned by Nintendo. So we have the biased reviews. Games like OoT that have been passed in gameplay and graphics by newer Zelda games, remains on top. Very odd a 10 year old game is on top of the rankings. Gamerankings is Rigged. confirmed.
Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Mario 64. Are all better games than OoT."


Something tells me that you were not in a legal frame of mind when you wrote this. A saliva test will confirm my opinion.

"GTA IV was PS3's top ranking was our last stand over Nintendo. Now it has been stolen away from us. We are devastated by it. A sad day indeed. We have to continue watching the pain of the Wii run away in front of the PS3.
GTA IV top ranking would of been our last great hope but now its gone. :("


This must be the come down from the high.

Have you ever heard of consistency? You said about scores didn't matter in your first post, and then say that GTA 4's score needed to be the highest? And until the most recent drop, the 360 version was on top anyway.
