That's the kind of thinking that leads uneducated people to think that because something is popular that means it is great which is very seldom the case in any artistic medium. Music -- you might think New Kids on the Block was some great band because their albums sold so well, but no Tom Waits was the best musician on earth back then, before then, and pretty much still to this day. You might think Twilight is a great vampire movie because it was so popular and was the number one movie in America a few week ago, and it might have been alright; but the best vampire movie released in 2008 is a little Swedish film called Let Light In which will probably never be as popular as Twilight. When judging artistic works only in very rare occassions can the case be made that the most popular works (The Lord of the Rings and The Dark Knight in most recent memory where movies are concerned all of the games that score 9+ in reviews on the PS2 in gaming; GTA and MGS IV) are also the best works. |
Youre absolutly right people still think popular games equals best games
Mostly because nintendo is making these games that are imensile popular with the casual crowd some fanboys want nintendo to have game of the year because its games sell great
If anithing nintendo should grab publisher of the year because with few games they have outsold every other publisher by a very wide margin and for that they deserve such a award but not a game of the year they have no game this year that deserves it
