>A work should be judged within the confines of its period's context.
then nothing can ever truly be compared. you can call oot "greatest game ever made", but then you can also call pong "greatest game ever made" and tetris "greatest game ever made" and baldur's gate 3 "greatest game ever made", and you cant refute any of it because they come from different times. they can all be valid while being contradictory? what about art that only ever gets appreciated well after the artist's death? are we to say "well, its actually trash, because the people at the time considered it trash"?

you're fucking retarded to be so willfully ignorant. you cant just put blinders on for convenience, just so you can suck off your favorite game. "good at the time" is a meaningless metric, and you're just a salty bitch unable to recognize and reconcile the fact that it has aged poorly.

by all means, praise it for being a landmark in videogame history, but that doesnt mean it is immune from being surpassed in quality. it is wildly disingenuous to refuse to compare and recognize progress.

reading comprehension is hard, huh

>thats all well and good, but i want to talk about innovations and devs not doing what i want

>i want to talk about a specific game's influence and ignore the point entirely. also, i want to ignore the concept of influence entirely, and pretend that being influenced means copying something it invented.

you guys are fucking retarded.

every single one of those games has aged poorly.
not a single one can rationally be considered "greatest game ever made".
n64 was just an ugly stepping stone.

I am the biggest N64 retard here and even I won't defend the completely awful N64 analog stick.
