So far you've provided nothing to back up your opinion.

That doesn't back up your claim. IGN makes no statement that SotC has been an influential game, but they call it one of the most important games of the PS2 generation regardless, yet provide no explanation for that claim. There's no justification for IGN's statement because it is known that SotC didn't sell much, so if the game had never existed, it wouldn't have affected PS2 sales at all.

CNN put SotC on a list of best and most influential games, but say nothing about SotC being influential. They call it "the high-tech equivalent of an art house film."

And that is exactly what I've said in this thread: The importance of SotC is greatly overrated and any justification for it leads down the path of "It is art." IGN's blurb is outright delusional with its claim that SotC was one of the most important games of the PS2 generation.

 

You seem joyless all if the time. Did you consider joining the depression thread?
