Blasphemy! Everyone knows Link to the Past is the pinnacle of the franchise! There is no other truth than this.

Glad to see Bethesda support the PC version. I will now shamelessly request that everyone make sure they download and use my Static Mesh Improvement Mod. It will CHANGE.YOUR.LIFE. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8655 or http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11832

I actually loved Hunted. The combat was great fun (the sniper-like archery was good times), searching for secrets was enjoyable, the voice work was very good, the character interaction amused me, and finding the dead bodies to reveal the lore was a great design element. Overall, I just...

Don't worry, we modders will make Skyrim on PC be the greatest open world RPG experience ever, perhaps even topping Morrowind, however blasphemous that sounds. Speaking of mods, it looks like Skyrim will also need another version of All Natural (an Oblivion mod you all must use!), based on...

Very interesting article. I always enjoy thinking about the essence of games and why I enjoy some and hate others. I decided to mark the chart based on my preferences. It was a very interesting exercise, which I recommend you all try. See this picture...

Thanks for this! I learned quite a few things about Japanese history! I think the connection between their history and their video games is fairly loose, but the article did a good job showing how it may have influenced the developers, indirectly.

Fair enough. It's clear that we've both studied this topic a lot, even if we disagree so strongly. I want to say one thing in closing: I've actually enjoyed talking with you. You've made me think about a lot of things that I otherwise wouldn't have considered. ...Took me back to my college...

There you go again telling me what I think...I thought I made it clear I wasn't appealing to any ad populum argument. Oh well... But just for kicks, I'll tell you why I firmly believe certain music is better than others. Music conveys emotion. This emotion is conveyed through use of certain...

Grr...Escapist forums going crazy double posting! Ignore, dear reader, ignore!

No kidding. I know that. One important note: I never said Beethoven was great because the majority said so. Re-read what you quote me saying. Does that have anything to do with your response? No. You are putting this ad populum fallacy on me even though I've never said it and never would say it...

LOLWUT?!?! Well, color me suprised; I would have never, ever guessed that based on your comments! Well...since none of us can ever meet someone like that, I'm not sure you can present this as "hard truth". This is the difficulty of speaking of the past, all we have is mostly anecdotal notes to...

Team of 300 testers? I simply cannot believe that. Or if it's true, can you possibly imagine how horrendously buggy the game must have been BEFORE the testers worked so hard on it??? Anyway, I like thousands of others just want Obsidian to release great, stable games, but when the lead designer...

Wow...your views are extremely relativist and ambiguous. And if you don't even view the Statue of David as superior to a kid's attempt to push some mud together, then we are truly at an impasse. I'm not talking about tastes. Tastes are subjective at their heart. I'm talking about having...

I know I was harsh to you initially, and I apologize for coming across that way. You've made me think more about things, and for that I thank you. Hopefully, you've thought some more about these matters too and have learned something. Yes, we need a definition. Every word must have a...

Ytmh: My post was defensive, I admit. I don't mind disagreement, but I do tend to get frustrated if no alternate theories are provided, which is why I asked you some questions last time. And as you pointed out this topic has been discussed for thousands of years with no one specific answer, so...
