True, but there is such a vast library of non-Nintendo games that deserve a top 10 spot on any list, that its a shame that he didnt play more. I actually have a feeling that many Nintendo fans have so many older games on their plates that they rarely try others outside their comfort zones.

I also know that its a subjective thing, so no harm intended with my comment. I only think that trying out as many games as possible is the only solution to trully taste what gaming is really about. And lets be honest its not just Nintendo, Sony or MS... its a combination of all of them and then some I for one adore PS games, as I grew up with them. I also love Nintendo games and MS games, either from their PC or Xbox library. My top 10 would be impossible to be made, because I know at least 50 games that would deserve a spot on that list . And yes, at least a half a dozen are made by Nintendo.


It's a bit presumptuous to say that I haven't played through *arbitrary number of games*. :/ It doesn't take much to see that my preferences are weighted towards a few specific genres that Nintendo excells in. Very possibly because I grew up with them, as my tastes line up with what was prevalent back in the 16-bit era. As for today, platforming is marginalized, action/adventure is unbearably diluted, and RPGs... the less said about them, the better. :P


Too bad... as somebody who has played games for over 2 decades now, I can see evolution in every one of the genres you have listed. But I guess it all boils down to taste.

 Either way doesn't matter matter much, everyone likes different things. Was just giving my opinion. 


As was I.

Even so, the idea that Metroid Prime is significantly inferior to the 2D entries in the series... is just flat-out incorrect. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. ;)


Who the hell said it was a fact? I clearly stated it was all opinion, don't try tell me I'm calling it a fact. It's been stated as my opinion. Also what you're saying implies I'm wrong even IF I was saying that, which is a contradiction seeing you're trying to criticize me thinking the 3D Metroids aren't as good. Stop...

As can I. But I'm not optomistic about where the evolution is heading, generally speaking. Of course, there are exceptions. Batman is a start.

Now, the real issue here isn't that those games are on Nintendo platforms. Heck, Okami stated out as a PS2 exclusive, and I first played it before it came out on Wii. Shadow of the Colossus is only on PS2/PS3, and it's my #11. The real problem is my overwhelming proclivity towards traditional action/adventure, JRPGs, and 3D platformers.

Which are all areas that Nintendo are exceptionally strong in.

These are some of my favorites too :)

13 of my top 20 games fall into one of those three categories.

I feel bad for you if every game on your top 10 list is on Nintendo, I don't care if you're biased or not lol. I'm not dissing or saying they are bad, but come on lmao.


Explain


It's quite self explanitory.

No it isn't. And the fact that you felt the need to point out that you're not dissing or saying Nintendo bad, sounds like, well, you're dissing Nintendo and saying it's a bad thing to enjoy mostly Nintendo games. That's grounds for a ban. So here we are again. Explain.

The Metroid Prime Trilogy with wiimote pointer control is the greatest gaming experience, EVER!
Xenoblade is #2 on my list as well. The second act made this jaded gamer smile with astonishment.

There are plenty of great JRPGs on non-Nintendo platforms, have you tried them? Personally, I think these RPGs are better than what Nintendo has provided. Games like:

- Chrono Cross

- Xenogears

- Vargrant Story

- FF Games

- Shin Megami Tensei/Persona

- Suikoden series

- Arc the Lad trilogy

- Shadow Hearts Covenant 

- Tales of Series

- Ni No Kuni

- Valkyria Chronicles 

Ironically, many of these are available on Nintendo platforms.

What? Grounds for ban? Do you need me to spell out the obvoius? YOU are misinterperating something and trying to tell me something I did not say is grounds for ban, keep it moving with that. Or is that grounds for ban too? I'm pointing it out because people jump to conclusions. It's like how the thread opening points out 3 games never on nintendo is in the top 20 though. So you're telling me it's implying something to? Don't try put words in my mouth it simply means my opinion is that I prefer a mixed list, I stated I'm not dissing cause it's all opinion. You can take what I said how you want, but don't try tell me it's grounds for ban, I didn't do name calling nor did I curse etc. I simply gave my simple opinion. Stop overreacting. What's the point of forums if you can't express a opinion and your feeling? I'm not dissing anyone, half those games are in my top 10 too. So here we are again. Please explain. I don't mind I'll go all year with this. I state it's not a diss and because I stated it's not a diss all of a sudden it's a diss. I don't play those games, if I got something to say I'll say it. It should be on grounds for ban for trying to force your way on people, and putting words in peoples mouths with reasoning that has NO actual relevance apart from it being YOUR opinion. You took it the wrong way, I didn't say anything bad, you are reading way to into it. Anyone can do that to about every other comment on this site.
