No it isn't bullshit. If I think something is ugly, to me and my mind that is correct. Fact. I find it ugly. Same if I were to find something beautiful. And then to each his/her own. To that persons mind, what they think or believe is fact. But that does not mean that is fact for everyone. Because it is a fact not everyone has the same opinions. 

 

I'm sorry to say happydolphin but just because someone goes into great detail to explain why something is technically hideous does not make that true for everyone. If someone loves or likes the look of something, no critic, art school trained or not is more right than the non trained person regarding whether or not it can be regarded as beautiful. For example, on a personal note, you can explain to me in minute detail why and how NSMB is the ugliest and worst presented thing on this planet. And frankly my opinion would still be the same; that is I think it looks gorgeous and I get immense pleasure out of it each time I play. And no person earning $1 million a year can dissuade me from that.

I'm kind of getting annoyed by the amount of people misinterpreting my posts, so I'll ask you and the others a very simple question. Do you think this is art and had proper art style designed into it?

There is a degree to what is subjective and to what is not, and that is all I'm saying, and I believe gameplay follows the same rule.

@hynad. Please, you're a nice guy, go re-read my posts. I never pretended to have any credibility when it comes to formal training. Her attitude was looking at me from a higher ground, and that to me was obvious. If she had actually realized I never pretended to have that eductation, she wouldn't have done that.

@Normando. If someone says that they consider presentation a gimmick, I reserve the right to consider my opinion more valid than theirs, period.

@rol. No, I don't fully believe I'm hard to deal with. I just believe people misunderstand me incessantly. This thread should be proof of that.


I think that is HIDEOUS and I hate it. But someone else might love it. But yeah I kinda see your point. I don't, however, see the link with that and NSMB. That image above is not made by Nintendo and looks nothing like a NSMB game. Which do look awesome. IMHO, of course.
