Kotaku makes a list of the "Top Ten Best Games in History."

Why are there Nietzsche quotes in a thread about videogames?

Personally, i would guess that this is a douche's way of trying to sound intelligent -- alas, they (ab)use quotes of those authors -- which they admire -- in situations they never were intended for -- namely, the so-called videogames.
Yet again -- they are way above all other human beings -- for -- seeing -- any videogame journalist -- for the utter failure -- they are.
And -- by criticizing those, who earn their money with writing -- as opposed to the super-intelligent insomnia.ac master-race -- they show their importance in our real lives -- and still manage to show off their extensive social skills -- or lack thereof.

Thanks man, that explains it.

Wait, why are we talking about frame rates? This thread is meant to demonstrate how mixed genre "Best Of" lists are misused.

The shmup forum is sorry. The shmup forum needs to be punished.The shmup forum is looking forward to being punished.

God Hand utterly destroys Yakuza and shows why exactly 30 fps doesn't cut it for some genres.

Elixir's right on this one (oh god, I'm agreeing with Elixir?!), they are really different games. God Hand is all about the combat where it is kind of a minor thing in Yakuza. You have an arcade style game, and you are comparing it to a completely story-driven console oriented game. If God Hand and Yakuza are the same genre, than Contra and Metal Gear Solid should also be the same genre.

I completely agree with the point about needing to separate rankings like this by genre. I can enjoy the occasional well-done FPS, but as a whole the gameplay and genre is not my thing, so could never rank an FPS over a really great platformer, or puzzle game, or whatever. I mean honestly, if I was stuck on a desert island and had to choose between, say, Half-Life 2 or The Adventures of Lolo, I'd go Lolo without even thinking twice. But if you've settled on a genre, everyone can at least argue the merits of particular games relative to it's genre. (However there is a lot of genre crossover that could make the divisions challening)

Thank you! This guy knows what he's on about.

Man, i sure wish we were all as smart and handsome as drunken starsailor.

I am goddamn handsome, thankyouverymuch. And a hell of a lot more intelligent than you to boot.

[Jockel]

Yeah, i'm sure your IQ is higher than 142.
But the question here isn't who of us is more intelligent, at least to me it isn't.
The question is, which one of us is being a total dick.

[Jockel]

Whatever you say, champ :-*

And that's enough of that.
