@BMaker: Noname basically covered everything I would have said (and a fair deal more), so I'll let him handle that line of conversation.

@khuutra Why not that's what I always do: Assert my opinion where it certainly isn't needed. WHat's the problem? I'm pretty sure you do the same thing!
You can feel free to operate on that assumption, but you'd be wrong. All I've said in this topic - and generally all I've said in pretty much any topic - is that different people have different values that appeal to them when looking for their games.

This does not preclude liking any game. It does, however, preclude attempting to correct a person as to their tastes, because doing so is counter-intuitive to the assumption that different people operate on different value metrics. I'm not going to start quoting myself again, but I will say that the different value metrics that other people operate by are varied, and the people who hold different values from you are legion: that's why Wii Sports is going to be the best-remembered game of the generation. It's also why these people will not be wrong in saying that, or saying that it's the best. It simply appeals to their value sets better, whether it appeals to yours or not.

Moving on.
SSBB is why I got a wii, and also why I sold it.
Fire Emblem is not by any means a "great". That was a list of greats. Other fire emblems have been great. Not this one. Don't let it ride the coat tails of history.
Welcome to "Oh No, These Statements Do Not Match My Value Metrics"ville, population: you and a handful of other guys. It's certainly within your right to tell people that their tastes are wrong, but the exercise is infantile, the concept behind it is puerile, and an expectation of results of any kind (barring someone rolling their eyes at you and walking off, I guess) presumes much more about this tactic's effectiveness than anyone has a right.

One last thing:
And yes, I haven't played madworld yet, I'm just going by what everyone here has been saying.
The only thing worse than using your own value metrics to try to disqualify someone else's is using a value metric that isn't even your own. That's not even pushing an opinion on people, that's just being a parrot.
