Nostalgia Goggles

[jisouserious]

You can't judge an opinion on the grounds of wrong or right.

Except he wasn't stating an opinion. Look again:

Morrowind always seems to invoke nostalgia goggles, with many people saying it's the best Elder Scrolls game. But it really isn't.

He makes the false assumption that the reason people like Morrowind is because of nostalgia goggles, which is why I said he was wrong, which he is. Morrowind is rated by TES fans simply because it scores better in categories TES fans find important than Oblivion, and to some, even Skyrim.

Then you both constructed opinions on the grounds of wrong and right. Still doesn't make my point any less valid.

Donkey Kong 64, the Megaman Battle Network series (preferably 2 or 3). Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64. Really, there's no end to what you can review.

You don't know the difference between an accusation and an opinion and you argue for the sake of it. Far as I'm concerned, this discussion is over.

You accused somebody of being wrong with an opinion and about an opinion. Comment to me how disgusted you are all you like; I can only wish you all the best in your apparent end to this conversation. I for one feel you address people poorly and advise you respect others in future. In the same vein though, I won't be offended either way, it's your life, and I don't care about what advice you heed. I just give it.

Super Mario 64 is the first episode in question so far. I've written a few drafts so far, and I'm going to try to avoid spoilers, though I will say it at the very least hasn't aged very well. The review focuses more on competing games on the market as a fair comparison of a good or bad game relevant to the time of release. This way it's not simply a look back in retrospect.

If you are asking for reviews ideas, I whole heartily suggest that you review Star Fox Assault for the Gamecube, as I feel that it is the most underrated game from the previous generation, mostly due to people's own nostalgia over Star Fox 64 on the N64.

I'm surprised that you would say that. Games like DK 64 haven't aged well, but I would imagine that Mario 64 would withstand the test of time.

EDIT: I've noticed a lack of 2d platformers being mentioned. Maybe you could review Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES? It's a compilation of Mario's NES adventures, with a 16-bit graphical overhaul. Maybe you could do some kind of super-review-conglomeration-thing.

Trust me, Super Mario 64 is one of THE worst games from gaming past. It's aged so very badly. my review only covers a few issues, but there are loads of different issues with said title which just are so bad. Literally a game where nostalgia lies to the player. Especially when competing games are mirrored alongside it released within a month prior or after the game. It doesn't even truly hold the title of 3D pioneer when you do market research. I'm not even kidding, from the way Mario handles to the slap dash level designs, that game isn't what most will remember it to be.

Nostalgia goggles are for complete fucking retards. That doesn't change the fact that FFVII is the greatest game in the history of gaming or anything. Just that they are for retards.
