Can be obvious for you, but can't be so obvious to another person, would be great if you respect that, because it is not so hard.

Rachet games are bad? since when?

Seriously, how do you defend something and critisize another for the same reason. I don't get it.

Oops! I was talking about games and you were talking about the thread. LOL Talk about being very confused (me included).

What would be interesting is if all the sequels to games were removed, to see how many games each system would have this generation.

Nintendo would be minus their heavy hitters - Mario, Zelda, SSBB, Metroid 3, animal crossing, punch out, RE4, more...

MS would be without Halo, GTA, Gears of War 2, Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, Re5 more, ...

Sony would be without - Resistance 2, KZ2, GTA, MGS4, RE5, Gran Turismo, god of War, Street Fighter, Silent Hill, more...

Most of these systems wouldn't have much to support themselves without sequels (many of which barely change much beyond graphics - the complaint the OP had) The only system that would do well is the Wii, and only because of its big first party casual titles like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc.

People love sequels, even if its pretty much the same game repackaged with pretty graphics. This applies to all systems.

I think what he is saying is Nintendo is bad, but Sony is worse. Probably that he has a personal limit, and once it's crossed, it's too much (if that made any sence).

But, I don't know what has been going on in this thread.

The difference between zelda's is to be commended

Zelda - top down non linear adventure game
Zelda II side scrolling platformer/rpg/adventure
A link to the Past top down mostly linear adventure game
OoT 3rd person adventure, realistic style
MM 3rd person adventure, realistic style, compeltely different plot to any others
WW 3rd person adventure, cell shaded
TP 3rd person adventure, realistic style
Zelda Wii: Confirmed to take the series in a new direction

Lets compare that to Final Fantasy
FF1-6 top down jrpg
FF7-13 3rd person jrpg

Gran Tourismo
GT1-5 racing sim

CoD 1-6 First person squad based FPS

How is Ninty bad enough to be singled out?

(PS, I'm not criticising Sony, SE or Activision)

Why are you mentioning Ratchet & Clank?  Please check your facts:

1)  Insomniac Games isn't owned by Sony, they're independent. 

2)  The first R&C game was in November of 2002, so we're not even at the 7 year mark yet.

3)  It's not just 9 games either.  It's 9 games, 1 port, and 2 spin-offs.  Busy folks.

4)  The only crappy R&C game, IMO, is Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for the PS2 because it was a near direct port from the PSP version and it was developed by High Impact Games (IG was busy developing Resistance and Tools of Destruction).

Oh, I'm sorry, it seems like you have either 12 Ratchets in 7 years, or just 9 Ratchets in 7 years, but you were just describing a few. Either way, the truth you revealed makes it look worse.

It is a Sony exclusive series, so they go along with Sony, Insomaniac or not. Idon't care about the specifics right now. R&C is just an example, so before you break out the rubric again, just realize it is just that.

Crash, Spyro, Syphon Filter, and to a lesser extent Jak&Daxter, they were all repeatedly represented on Sony consoles and they suffered as a result.

Nintendo has the Mario Sports games and the Wario/Mario party stuff,I know, overindulging. However, Mario {Galaxy} games only come once a generation. Zeldas come 1-2 (more often 2 than 1). But whenever they come out, they are Very fresh experiences. Not like Max Payne 1 to Max Payne 2, where there was relatively no change.

Try being a Sega fan?

Haha, quoted for truth my good man! QFT!
