Why the hell is he even picking a fight about this

People have different opinions


And it's called expressing opinions. But why are *you* trying to pick a fight? BOP has me ignored, so he ain't seeing shit. Sarcasthma didn't like my tone, but he was one and done. You're the only guy really trying to go at it right now >_>

When you're in a discussion, opinions aren't automatically all going to have to agree. That's not a discussion, that's a circular... thingy of some kind.

I'm not disputing its commercial success -- and there are a lot of highly commercially successful ventures -- I'm just less sure about the greater, decade-defining impact.

Because that's just the kind of person he is.


I won't apologize for having strong opinions, Sarcasthma . I'm sorry, but that's just the kind of guy I am.

Strong opinions are fine, but you were overly confrontational with your initial post.

And I felt that his opinions were overly wrong.

You can just express your own opinion without making a big stink about someone elses

Were you not taught manners

Terrible way to do this. Look at the top ten yearly grossing games, some crappy P2W games on the list including Clash of Clans a few years back.

Generally yes, but GTAV was loved by everyone and sold a butt-tun.

You could definitely argue that those are some of the most important games to have come out though given the influence they've had even on the triple a space

There's no need to be so grumpy in a nice topic like this.


You say that, but he forgot Pokemon, which was one of the biggest titles by far in the 90s. In fact, it's one of the best-selling games of all times *and* the highest-ranking one that wasn't also a system pack-in.

I think I actually have him blocked because of none if his/her posts make sense.


Oh no, I was blocked by a guy who shitposts terrible opinions about games and doesn't like those opinions questioned! How will I ever survive?! >_>

BigOlePappy posted...
First, SMW was the iconic early 90s platformer and solidified a genre that everyone was trying to "cash in" on.
Second, FF7 is infinitely more synonymous with 90s JRPGs than Pokemon. I don't think that people at the time even realized Pokemon RBY were JRPGs.


A lot of wrong in one post, but okay. And writing Pokemon RB off as just a jrpg is about as stupid of a claim as you make.

BigOlePappy posted...
"Also, OOT was a better fit for 3D genre game, but SM64 could have worked too."

If you're trying to claim it was a 3D platformer, it really wasn't. SM64 helped to usher in 3D platformers and was often used as the measuring stick for them.

BigOlePappy posted...
The most perplexing aspect is that the original 90s suggestions were a preface and framework for want I wanted for 00s games. The 90s games were not the point of the topic and intended as conjectural examples, however, the 00s games were to which I don't think he even mentioned a single one.


Then preface things better? Don't complain when you're called out over it and then just ignore anybody who criticizes you... which I note despite being ignored for criticizing him. So let it be a note to everybody else.

Sarcasthma posted...
Ah, sorry I quoted him, then.


You totally aren't.

As for the 90s:

Super Mario Bros 3
Sonic the Hedgehog
Doom
Pokemon Red/Blue
Ocarina of Time
Street Fighter 2


Yeah, SMB3 (released in NA in 1990) definitely is a bigger consideration than SMW.


I love SMB 3, but it DID release in Japan in '88 so it was kind of the swan song for that era, while SMW kicked off the next one. That's just for me personally, since when I think 90s, I think SNES more than NES.

tbh, it hadn't occurred to me that he didn't specify "video games" so MtG is actually a really strong pick since it preceded a boom.

Honestly not sure if Settlers of Catan did the same for board games since I never really got into any of that.
