| archbrix said: That's where your reasoning is deeply flawed. You can tell me what a good game looks like? Compare the graphics in Haze to the graphics in Tetris. Does that make Haze a better game? Certainly not according to people's wallets... Face it: There are reasons that some things are remembered as classics and some are remembered as dated junk. Claiming that anything that is looked back fondly on is due only to "nostalgia value" is as silly of a blanket statement as what Review Tech is saying. |
Who was talking about graphics? I said that "a good game" is significantly easier to objectiverly define than "a good song" or "a good movie". A good game doesn't frustrate, a good game isn't infair, a good game creates an emotional high, a good game isn't glitchy enough to interfere with the experience... What does a good movie look like? What do Godfather and Ace Ventura have in common? I have no freain' clue.
I did what I could to make sure the message comes across and I apparently failed - I never said all old games are remembered purely for nostalgia, I sad A LOT (not all) of them are.
