Sure...if you believe Retro has set more standards for themselves than Naughty Dog I leave you to that. Somwhere, someone will believe that as well.

Please have the maturity of respect opinions that differ from your own.

Thats pretty much the same way of saying I respect your opinion. Theres no equality to me between a company that makes new hits and a company that is a sequel factory. Sorry. I will enjoy them as the next guy but I have standards but in my book the team that takes the most risk and succeeds time and time again is the more valuable company. We agree to disagree plain and simple.

I get what ur saying but Metroid Prime was a pretty big risk, Iit was a revival of a series that hadnt released in 8 years and went from 2D side scroller to 3D FPS. If it failed it very possibly would have killed Metroid for good and Nintendo might not have let Retro work on a big game again.

Metroid Prime wasn't a risk, Nintendo knew the shift to FPS was coming after Rare hit it big with Goldeneye. They brought Metroid into the modern era. Samus had a hand thats a gun, I would've thought it would've been a given. Glad it succeeded though. Im going to get some rest. :)

Well in ur opinion what was so risky about Naughty Dog games? Crash was a mascot platformer, basically Sonys answer to Sonic/Mario/DKC.
Jak was also a mascot platformer could be described as the next logical step forward from the many N64 collectathons. Jak 2 just added in elements of Ratchet & Clank.
Uncharted Is also primarily a platformer that is a mix of Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia. The Last of Us
is a zombie game in an industry filled with zombie games.
Im not bashing these games, I have enjoyed every Naughty Dog ggame ive played but I dont see how its taken huge risks.
