The fact that so many gamers still name Mario and Zelda as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” games ever only tells you how far gaming still is from becoming a serious art.
Movie fans have long recognized that the greatest movies all times are Taxi Driver and Stalker, which were not the most popular or biggest hits of their times, let alone of all times. Music critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe.
Gamers are still blinded by nostalgia and popular success.
They played Mario and Zelda as kids and everyone knows the character's names, therefore they are the greatest. Fans of other mediums study and seek out media across time and taste from their medium. Gamers are often totally ignorant of games outside of their preferred console, genre, or childhood.
No wonder they will think that Mario Odyssey did anything worthy of being a 10.
The fact that so many gamers still name Mario and Zelda as “the greatest or most significant or most influential”...
Jesus Christ you sound like a self-absorbed faggot
Fucking this
Fpbp
saged, try harder
is this bait? if you compare some of Zelda/Mario games holistically during the time they were relased to the entire gaming genre they shit on pretty much everything. Maybe if you actually play BotW and any 3D Mario you'd come to appreciate the level of polish Nintendo puts into their game. Go back to pubg faggot
Games could have been argued as art 8 years ago. Now they are microtransaction filled, DLC cut up, lootbox enabled platforms for minting money. Games can never be art now.
Video games are not and will never be art.
When the critical best the industry can come up without Nintendo is a ripoff of Children of Men or fanfiction of an unknown polish book, it does go to show far off gaming is from being taken seriously by anyone at all.
how fucking new are you?
Proving his point...
only one new is you m8
If you could absorb yourself, would you? haha
Pretty good read OP.
You aren't wrong. The first few post in this thread are assblasted nintendo apologist.
This!
Vidya stopped being an "art" once corporations like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft decided to go full jew to maximize profit at the cost of quality. It also doesn't help that video games are actively becoming UGLIER than what was considered the standard ten years ago or how people are selling out to pay lip service to SJW shit.
You can't be art and have an agenda.
I think nip games are still art. Western games are cancer though
it's a pasta you fucking nerds look up scaruffi
Nip media is all pandering trash sold on sex appeal and nu-orientalism.
>Implying it isn't still relevant
op you virgin cuck
get a grip lmao
ya mario odyssey really checks those boxes
>Mario is art!
>there are people who don't know about the Scaruffi pasta
nice argument art is subjective
I don't give a rat's ass about anything you just said. I'm a lifelong gamer and amateur gamedev. I've pwned kiddies in shooters since the 90s and cryed about character's in JRPGs too. I don't care if you ot anyone else thinks a game is "overrated" if it's good it's good. In my opinion Mario is the best game character in historey and the best series of games too. I don't give a diddly dick what you or any other shitbag thinks and I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you(you already know I'm right). So fuck off with your Nintendo bonus bullshit. Us actual gamers have heard it a million times from retarded hipters like yourself.
Troll or not he has a point.
