Sorry, not the same thing. You are trying to use this context to poke fun at a reactionary post I posted? Funny. That post was in reaction to everyone being pissed off that GTA4 was getting 10's, when it was not as good as OoT. Why were you not jumping down there throats with your commentary on review systems?

It's funny how much BS people let other people get away with when they happen to have the same ultimate view. If I wrote this OP with the exact same bias put on Nintendo consoles, and I titled it "SMG demonstrates Wii userbase desperation", I would being fighting the opposite people.


It is the exact same thing. You said no one mildly intelligent would not think GTA4 is automatically better than SMG based on review scores because they appeal to different crowds. You have posted something that completely contradicts that notion. If there was an out pouring of topics about how OoT was better than GTA4 then I missed it, but fully expected it to happen. As a result I just avoided threads where it was likely to turn into that, and missed any threads about it. I would have jumped right on them if any of them were dumb enough to point out how they should not be doing exactly what they have done. You compared two games across genres and claimed one was definitevly better than the other. Admit your mistake and move on.

And you might want to read my first post in this thread. It was something like "I was hoping to tear into a fanboy idiot but here you have a well constucted arguement." I did jump on someone else who posted exactly what everyone thinks Grey posted just last night to get it out of my system. In that thread I actually attacked SMG as being over-hyped and not very fun. Of course maybe you weren't trying to direct that at me.


I was not directing anything at you. I don't recall ever reading your posts. We must post in different forms most of the time. And it's not the same thing. I have played OoT, and I have played GTA4. The point of my post was to say that if all gamed were revisited, and rated on todays rating system, 100 games (including GTA4) would get a better rating then OoT. That by todays standards for ratings. Game length, Graphics, Complexity, Story.... todays games are better. I got flamed.

I  was 29 when OoT came out, and a PC gamer. There was nothing in that game I had not seen before. It was a great game, but nothing special for me. I forgot that most people on these forums where in the young teens, and that OoT brought what I had been playing as a PC gamer to a much larger market, so bashing there god of games was probably not a good idea.

 

Anyway, back on point. What I am saying above is that I played them and formed an opinion based on that. The quote from this thread that you are equating it to is saying that people don't strictly base opinions of games based on reviews. They take many other things into consideration.

Those are completely different things.
