| regin2005 said: You can't even compare GTA IV to LoZ:OoT because those games are targeted torwards two completely different audiences. I'm watching GTA4 streams right now and have been since Saturday and from all of this praise that I keep hearing about (perfect scores and such), it just doesn't seem perfect. GTA4 is a 9.5 at best. And that multiplayer mode IS THE BEST PART. |
My take is this:
Any game can be compared. Where the OP went wrong is to ignore truly revolutionary aspects of a game in favor of "golly-gee, this sure is purdy" graphics and tweaks to already-existing gameplay. GTA III is a "better" game than GTA IV simply for the fact that it gave birth to a new style of play that has been copied countless times since then. OoT did much the same to its own genre but IMO, it still fails on some levels when compared to Mario 64, a game that truly blew open the platforming genre.
What the OP was saying reeks of "Episode I was better than Episode IV because the SFX were better and the Jedi were more impressive." It ignores almost every aspect of the piece in favor of focusing purely on visuals.
