2D Boy: Gaming Hasn't Seen a True "Masterpiece"

[Jumplion]

Masterpiece - a work done with extraordinary skill; especially : a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement.

Now, given the technology at them time, tell me Pong isn't a masterpiece.

What about the first 3D games?

Or the first open world games?

Pretentious and arrogant, this man is, yes.

Diction vs. Connotation, my friend.

I don't buy people playing that fast and loose with words - it lets people get away with saying anything, however stupid.

Eh, sometimes a more lax definition is needed, different words can mean different things to different people, useing a by-the-books definition of something is silly since, lets face it, most of use don't even use most words to the correct definition. But hopefully you get my overall point on the matter.
