also big surprise I know
Well, it was actually. Looking at how the bracket had been playing it, it was a surprise. Every great game older than 20 years was losing to modern junk. Wind Waker lost to modern junk. Shadow of the Colossus lost to modern junk. Mario 64 lost to modern junk. Super Mario World lost to modern junk. Link to the Past lost to modern junk. Super Metroid lost to a modern game.

The whole bracket had less than 15 games made before 2000, and most of them lost first round. So why would anyone expect Ocarina of Time to actually win? It was actually an upset given the voting base.

I get that a huge ass ship running into the support pillar is a bad idea, but shouldn't there have been safety measures in the concrete to prevent a full collapse?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c279709b.jpg

What kind of safety measures are going to stop 165,000 tons of force with that much momentum?

The ships are what need better safety measures, because no bridge pillar is surviving that.

AI art is good for small companies. One of the cost factors for board game and card game designers is paying an absurd amount to an artist for all the pieces. Now it can be done for free, allowing more freedom for game creation.

Nickelodeon has always had foot stuff, even before Dan. Watch their first movie, Harriet the Spy, and tell me it isn't weird how much it shows her feet. He probably just leaned into the humor, because kids think that kind of thing is funny. People just want to find things to complain about these days.

Easily 2 -> 3. Based on game design and overall experience. Any historian would back this up too.

Something tells me the poll is trying to get us to vote based on graphics though, because of the choice of dropping all Nintendo consoles after Gamecube, when they stopped competing in graphics each gen.
