| Dodece said: Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary title. I would rather not go into the specifics, but the game was not only genre defining, but genre generating. Until Nintendo did it nobody knew how it was supposed to be done. That game has a serious impact on gaming not just in its genre. So many of the mechanics have found their way into games in drastically different genres. Super Mario 64 changed gaming. I find it shameful that any site would rank SMG higher then SM64. They really should know better then to do that. Given the impact of the originator, and the relative imitation of the latter. A unoriginal knock off should never triumph over the brilliant original. The only explanation for this is the ranking systems are pathetic if they are not highlighting the difference. I highly recommend that anyone who has not played Halo 3, and given all the advanced features a real spin. Take the time to do so. There are a myriad of innovative features. Then you can't ignore the presentation and packaging of those innovations. Those features will be entertaining for years on end. Thats reason enough for Halo 3 to be on the list. |
Correct me if I am wrong, but you haven't even played SMG. And 10 minutes at Gamestop doesn't count.
If that is the case, the only thing shameful going on around here is your allowing your bias to overshadow your judgment. And further your willingness to supplant your own uneducated uninformed opinion about a game in place of opinions that are informed and are educated on the matter.
If you don't want to trust the reviewers about SMG that is one thing, but the absolutely overwhelming nonstop positive buzz about the game from gamers from all walks of life should have established for anyone actually paying attention that the game really is something special & at the bare minimum most people are finding it prudent to reserve judgment. The idea that you would hold this opinion that SMG simply cannot be better than SM64 without having played it and in spite of the reactions to the game by not just every reviewer but every one who has played it is truly a monument to selective ignorance..fanboy style~
The sad part is that now that you have publically made the statement I doubt you could let yourself enjoy the game because in the back of your mind is always going to be not wanting to be wrong. I truly hope you give yourself a chance to fully enjoy the game and I will admit that while you are generally fairly biased in your views (but then who isn't) you are one of the few people on this site I think is capable of looking past it. I hope you can, I would hate for anyone to miss out on a game with reviews like this over something so minor and petty.
@main topic,
It is spike TV, this should shock nobody.
