what?? why does everyone says cloud and sephiroth??. those characters are amazing. in this case i am going to agree with @the anarchyz, pikachu for me is overrated i dont know what people see in him or in all pokemon games seriously. i once played a pokemon game on a gameboy and another in a N64 and i just didnt like it at all. i dont know why those games sell so much. but in the end is about tastes. please dont kill me nintendo fans please.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  I'll keep saying it too until this site gets it's act together.  This is vgchartz. 

 

And you're right, it is about tastes.  It's too bad that this crap is hindering vgchartzs' community expansion.  Isn't that what the community wanted?  Do the members want vgchartz to expand?  

Wait, wait, why is people calling Sephiroth and Cloud overrated somehow stunting the growth of the community?

It's not that specifically, it's the lack of variety of opinions on vgchartz.  This is one of them involved.  Almost everytime something good is said about FF7 on a topic title or even involving FF7 in anyway, the same posters will go in there and give their extremely subjective opinion on the matter and won't accept anyone else's opinion other than their own.  They won't even argue objectively, they practically refuse and will constantly hound out anything good about FF7.    I'm not saying anything negative said about FF7 shouldn't be said, I'm saying that if it is going to be said negatively, back it up 100% objectively or don't say anything.  This goes with any game, subject, character etc.

 

If something is said positively about any game, it's actually ok to say anything subjective about it then.  Because it doesn't directly harm anyone.  If it offends you indirectly, that's your own fault and should learn to ignore it.  For instance:

 Let's say that I say "FF7 is the best game ever".  It's subjective, but it doesn't offend anyone directly because it's a positive thought as opposed to "FF7 is the most overrated game ever".  Both are direct sentences but only the first one is positive.  To say that you are offended by "FF7 is the best game ever" by saying that "it was stated in a factual preference instead of an opinion manner, so it offends me" tells me that you're just looking for an arguement.  This is the internet, it's obvious that people are going to say stuff like that, it's how internet culture works.  Although it is preferable to state IMO around statements like "X game is the best ever".  Which should be done everytime if possible. 

 

Is it so hard for members of vgchartz to just lay off of other people's opinions and voice theirs objectively?

 

 

 

 

well in this case i dont know how to back up the fact that i dont like the pokemon games.  i just dont like them. and maybe you are right maybe we should back up 100% our opinions.
