Well, the only way anything is inferior within a debate is if you're arguing fact vs opinion. Yes, facts are always superior because you can't dispute them, but in here, there have only been opinions.

Nobody is saying that you , Squill or anyone else that doesn't think Naughty Dog are the best devs are "factually" wrong (Hell, I don't even think they are). But the people that do are entitled to that, and can't be factually proven wrong on this.

I don't understand the heat over that.


That is absolutely false.

As I said in another thread, I am sure that there types of people who will label Avatar as a better movie than The Godfather Part 2.

While you can say that Avatar was a more entertaining movie than GF2, there is absolutely no way anyone can claim that it was a better movie. As such, the opion of "Avatar is better" is a very inferior opinion to "Godfather 2 is better." The same can be applied when talking about directors, "Michael Bay is the best director" is an extmeley inferior opnion to "Coppola is the best director."

The same should apply to the video game  as well, the medium and the players just aren't mature enough yet for that to happen. Just as in movies where you can have entertaining garbage, same with video games, except it seems that people are too insecure in video games and they have to even label the entertaining garbage they love as "good."

P.S. Loved Revenge of the Sith and hated 2001, but you will absolutely never catch me saying that Revenge was a better movie than 2001. Another example of a person being able to separate what they like from how things actually stand.

For it to be "false", you'd have to prove it otherwise on a level that's indisputable. You have not. You have reiterated what I've been saying, that this is an objective situation, one that, no matter how intellectual you want to sound, hasn't and can't really be proven factually.

You can though. "Fun" isn't a measure of a movie's or a book's quality. You have acting, plot, themes, motifs, etc. etc. all of which can easily be said to be better. However"fun" is never even considered. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of fun crappy movies. The same applies for video games, there are plety of things to measure, such as inovation, features, plot, themes, etc. without having the objective "fun." However, as I said, it seems that the medium and gamers aren't even close to being mature enough to realize that "fun" isn't a sign of quality.

As for claiming who's best etc. Blizzard, Valve, and BioWare side, since they are still part of the PC largely, not consoles, anyone saying someone other than Miyamoto as being the best in consoles is just an idiot. You can easily measure the achievements of Miyamoto and Naughty Dog. Sure you can say Naughty Dog are the best, but that's a very idiotic opinion, just like saying that Michael Bay is the best.


People who think it aren't idiots, nor is it an "iditotic" opinion (pretty ridiculous thinking right there). Not everyone thinks Miyamoto is the greatest dev, period.

Regardless, hearing this from you tells me you're not someone to debate with on a fair-minded level.


The achievements in the console video gaming are easily comparable. It's not even a "apples to oranges" it's simple "oranges to oranges." As such it is very easy to see who has done more, better, and consistently. Given everything, it very much is idiotic, or immature, or naive, to say Naughty Dog is better than Miyamoto.

As I said, there are plenty of retarded people out there who think Michael Bay is the shit.

That is high praise indeed! I've loved Naughty Dog ever since the first Crash Bandicoot game cae out, they truly are amazing developers imo.

That's "clearly" your opinion though, which is what he's trying to explain to you.

Clearly Miyamoto is considered the greatest developer of all time. Since hes still producing work then clearly in a console sense he is head, shoulders, torso, hips, legs and knees and ankles above Naughty Dog.

Clearly...

And that "clearly"  disproves nothing or anyone.

By these standards:

Article:

You: Its only an opinion

Done.

Dismissed.

If opinions don't matter then this whole thread is irrelevant so why are you here?

Your problem is you think because YOU say something, it's factual, or you post like nobody can disagree with your thought.

I'm here because like you, I gave an opinion and am allowed to do so.


I would like to play the "there are in fact superior and inferior opnions" card right here.

Well, the only way anything is inferior within a debate is if you're arguing fact vs opinion. Yes, facts are always superior because you can't dispute them, but in here, there have only been opinions.

I don't understand the heat over that.

Actually inferior opinions CAN be proven factually wrong.  If it was my opinion that Damon Jones was the best basketball player of all time, this can very eaisly be proven wrong based on nothing that is purely factual.

If anyone claimed Damon Jones was the best basketball player of all time they would be laughed... off the planet basically by anybody.

Naughty Dog aren't exactly Damon Jones...

however they're Scottie Pippen at they're very best... not even best "on the own team" during their prime era.

As I've said, there's no such thing as an inferior opinion. It's either just an opinion, or can be factually proven wrong, making that opinion useless. In this case, it can't be proven wrong, it can be disputed, which doesn't make either of the opinions superior.

Just because many of us disagree that Nughty Dog are the best devs doesn't automatically make our opinions superior. It just means we disagree, which is simple logic really.

You are wrong however.

There are such things as inferior opinions.

Each opinion can be judged based on the foundation of that opinion.

Some opinion's have much more basis then others.

Or do you think Damon Jones being the greatest basketball player of all time is just as valid an opinion as Michael Jordan?  No offense but that's a foolish opinion.

There are MANY actual factual and contextual arguements for some developers are the greatest of all time.  Naughty Dog pretty much has none of these.

Miyamoto currently basded on the factual and intellectual evidence is the Pele of videogame developers.

Well Pele like mid 90's.



It irritates me to see all Sony fans trumpeting their oh so awesome library of games by mentioning Uncharted 2, MGS4, LBP, etc while they should be praising Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, Heavy Rain.

OT: No way, not even close. Atlus is way better IMO.

*cough, cough........clears throat*

Ahem..........


Oh come on, I'm allowed to be grumpy one day, right?

Sorry If I came out a bit brazen, maybe it's because I don't really like shooters and couldn't get into either UC1 or UC2 even though I bought both >_<

And this is one of the most idiotic posts I have seen in a long time. I'll probably get a ban/warning for this but I just had to tell you that.



I agree, ND rules the world right now.

There are MANY actual factual and contextual arguements for some developers are the greatest of all time.  Naughty Dog pretty much has none of these.

If you can prove it wrong, the opinion is useless. If you cannot, it's nothing more than an objection. Ninja Theory's opinion can't be proven completely false, even if many don't agree.

Besides, what they're talking about can mean so many things. In what way are the best devs? Artistically? Technically? The most entertaining? They pedestaled Naughty Dog without too much on the specifics. It's their opinion though and it can't be changed, altered, disproved. It is what it is and many agree with them, at least right now.

You can have the final word though, which I'm sure you'll take that oppurtunity.


So, in otherwords... anyone who says Damon Jones is a better basketball player then Michael Jordan is correct.  Or at least as correct as those who believe otherwise.  Which is the question I knew you'd dodge... which is why i bolded it... and you've still ignored it.

Once again.... as already stated, they said best Devs.  This means overall, ALL things considered unless stated otherwise.

You know, like if you wanted to claim that Damon Jones is the best NBA player with a Mohawk, who has reinacted a Michael Jackson video with Shaq. 


On the basis of "best developer all things considered" said opinion can and has been disproven.

There isn't one area in which they lead in the "stats."

The claim that all opinions are equally right is a lie made only to stop arguements without someone feeling bad for having an opinion that's based on shakey ground.

There are countless dumb opinions that can be justified by it.  Like the afore mentioned Damon Jones opinion you keep dodging.
