I highly doubt Skyward Sword is the "Best game ever made"

Ok people, i think it's time i revealed the shocking truth to you. This may...break some minds and shatter some perceptions of reality, but i think it's necessary that you learn the horrible truth.

...Ok, we all reading? Good: There is no 'best game ever made'. I'm sorry, but it's absolutely impossible to make a 'best game ever'. Can one have a favorite game? Of-course, but realise it is not the best game ever. And no matter how great a game is made, it will never be the best game ever as no game will ever be universally accepted by every single human being on the planet as 'the best game ever'.

So remember, there is no 'best game ever'...and even if there was, Skyward Sword isn't it.

Personally it's always bewildered me when Nintendo has the balls to charge as much as they do for games in their big franchises like Mario or Zelda. from what I have played it's all pretty samey. I mean if Sony or Microsoft or some PC publisher did what Nintendo does i.e release reboot after reboot of the same games they would be out of business before the end of the year. Granted you could make a case for many of the modern Fps titles to be pretty samey but those games have way more contend than most Zelda or Mario games(not always) and sell for a similar price. I guess what I'm saying is I probably wouldn't pay more than $20 for a new Zelda title but I would pay full price for a game with twice the content like skyrim or saints row the third, maybe COD.

No, the best game ever made came out last friday. I won't say what game it is, because even I'm sick of hearing its name.

In reality, there is no such thing. One can have a personal favorite and say that it's the best game ever. But video games, as well as every other artistic medium, are entirely subjective, there is not a single game that garners such universal praise.

Maybe I'm just worried that it might steal GOTY from Skyrim, idk. It just bothers me that people are giving a Wii game good reviews...

EDIT:
I'm very biased against the Wii for some reason, always hated it, always will.
Two things.

1) Why do you, as a consumer, care what is considered the game of the year. Seriously, how does a well received game affect your enjoyment of a different, also well received game.

2) Hate? You hate the Wii? Okay, you're allowed to hate things, but you are admitting a strong bias against the Wii and Wii games and then decide make a thread dismissing the good reviews of a game in a legendary (yes, I know) series like Zelda. You think Nintendo went as far as to buy a good reviews, when being a Zelda game likely would have gotten great reviews anyway unless it was absolutely terrible. We all have opinions, but given what's behind yours, why should anyone take this seriously.
Your taking this entire post too seriously my friend. I'm just saying that it seems a little ridiculous that all these game reviewers are calling this "the greatest game of all time" when to me, it looks ordinary.
Yeah well to me Skyrim and every other ES game looks like a big pile a shit but that is my opinion and those people have their opinion that Skyward Sword is the "greatest game of all time." While you have your opinion that it just looks ordinary, to come full circle everyone has their own opinion and that is fine just don't prattle on about how you think Nintendo is buying reviews.

haha jesus, i think you hold the record for most quotes on one page...people are quite pissed off at you it seems, the irony in them asking why you hate/get pissed off at the wii, when they are in fact getting pissed off at you for pissed off about being pissed at the wii...

That's not irony. Like... at all.

People are getting pissed at him for his blind discrimination. He doesn't think Skyward Sword deserves GOTY because it's a Wii game, that's what he said, that's what people are getting angry at. I don't like Jay-Z's music, but my justification for why isn't "idk, i just don't think black people deserve awards".

Did you really just say Nintendo reuses content but give COD a free pass?

Why is it that when every game that gets praised, somebody has to get poopy pants syndrome and start the hate train. I know this a very general defense of the integrity of Skyward Sword but it is freaking Zelda. One of the most well-handled franchises of all time coming from a first party developer that is hell-bent on delivering a quality product.

If you don't like Zelda, then don't buy the damn game and let us fans enjoy it for ourselves.

aye, you are right, i wasn't quite paying attention to what i was typing at the moment and misused it.

while i appreciate the thought there, comparing human beings to different workings of hardware isn't quite..right. I get your point and not saying it is wrong, just saying that was a bit odd.

still, i do believe his intentions were misread there by most people, taking a slight chill pill before posting was in order.

Yep and he is saying that the average fps with a 4 to 6 hour campaign has more content.

Also i know gaming companies is doing the same with releasing every year titles like madden , fifa and F1 (for example).

Given that people can have vastly different tastes, I don't think a truly "best game ever made" can exist. Short of being the Matrix that can grant any gameplay desired imaginable.

On the other hand, Skyward Sword does appear to live up to previous titles. That alone makes it pretty fantastic. I can't say I'm in doubt above it's generally above 9 rating.

That would be AWESOME.

Seriously, after Elder Scrolls took Game of the Year from my favourite game last time, it's time for payback.
