Why GTA4 blows OoT our of the water.

People spent many centuries walking behind bushes to pee and poop. Does that make the bush better than a modern toilet because it has been used longer? Of course not, it's an entirely absurd thought.

Your comparison fails for the same reason the comparison of GTA4 and OoT fails. Different times. I'd wager if all those people who were playing those games for millenia had the alternatives we have today that they would not be playing them.

None of this makes any sense, because people are still playing Chess even with more modern alternatives.

If people were still peeing and pooping behind bushes with regularity, then yes, it would absolutely be fair to conclude that these were acceptable substitutes to toilets.

Furthemore, that's an issue of technical hygeine -- a completely separate issue than fun, or endorphin release.

That really is an awful analogy, WoW. 

 

 

My example is a perfect counter-example to your desire to compare our ancestor's playing the various games they had compared to our playing of the games we have.  Also I honestly doubt most people here have played Chess in quite a long time however I bet most everyone here has played at least one video/computer game within the past 3 days.
