I stopped reading at the part where you agree'd with the guy that said OoT didn't do much/anything new. Can you understand why I can't take such ludicrous comments (and as a result, this thread entirely) like that seriously?
Of course mgs4's story and atmosphere trumps all over Mario for the Nes. Like you said, I was being an ass. It's a rediculous comparison because it's a direct comparison, kind of like most people are doing with zelda and mgs. And you just can't do that. Does OoT gameplay holed up better today than MGS4? Even I'm not dumb enough to question that. (MM, however...)
I'm going to give the benefit of a doubt on the whole thing, because hindsight is 20/20, and backlash is a bitch, and not a couple of weeks ago people were actually defending the claim that "GTAIV IS TEH PERFECT!" I'm going to wait a couple of months before I believe this question can be honestly asked.
