| Zucas said: Well it never had a chance of being able to take down Zelda: OOT as most critically acclaimed game ever. I think in this day age that is almost physically impossible. Plus I just don't think there will ever be another title like Zelda: OOT that is just that new and groundbreaking in so many different ways. But I've been surprised to go on sites and see people thinking Bioshock had a chance at doing that. And now after 30 some odd reviews it's in 4th place overall at gamerankings yet still more than a 1% point behind Zelda. |
I don't really see how Zelda: OOT was so amazingly new and groundbreaking. Could you tell me what it introduced that games before it never had? Because I owned it, made it about 2/3 of the way through before getting bored and there was nothing in it that I would call groundbreaking. I found nothing new with the story or even the gameplay mechanics of the game, it had good atmosphere but so have many games that have come before it. I would give the nod though to Super Mario 64 since it did indeed help to push forward 3d platformers but I honestly don't see even one thing revolutionary in Zelda: OOT. And I suspect that nostalgia played a role in it being the most critically acclaimed game ever, if it had been named Bell: OOT with a different main bad guy, etc, does anyone honestly think it would be the most critically acclaimed game ever? I really doubt it.
