Most Famous Video Game

[leerock89]

What does everyone think is the most famous video game(s). Make sure when u decide, you consider what the games did to change the gaming world.

For me its Super Mario Brothers 2&3 two of the earliest and best side scroll games and Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Brothers best rpg of its time and Starfox for N64, Final Fantasy 7 which is the most pivotal game ever, Diablo Warcraft CS, and finally Halo.
On a sidenote i might add pokemon for gameboy only cause so many people played it me included.

[Jsj222]

well i love mario and zelda to pieces and warcraft is great to. im not into the whole Halo thing i mean 1 and 2 were great but 3 seemed like a major copy of 2 with little improvements other than a slight boost in graphics... i love the Call of duty series :)

[archangle]

i think that the most famous video game has to be the mario one it is the best the rest are good too but thye are not like mario

[Corwin]

I'm going to have to go w/ Final Fantasy, I know some ppl aren't a big fan of the series but the first one not only changed things in a big way for the company that produced it, but it also changed the way we game in a huge way, before that RPG style games didn't have much influence w/ gamers and now almost everyone has played at least one, they've grown in scope and complexity, and they are one of the driving forces behind console purchases

[archangle]

hey crowin i am a fan of final fantasy too...just didnt' mention it though did i

[Nabik33]

I would have to say that Everquest was huge for the video game industary. it was one first really big MMOs which really got people into that type of game.

[Crymson]

Here's a blast from the past: X-com (UFO Defense for some of you). It was very popular when it came out, and defined an entire genre.

[Thoza]

Warcraft...... !!!!
the whole entire world know that

[Koopaking]

The most famous and well known video game ever?

PONG

Think about it. Even old people know this game.

[pimpingout]

well i think that the legend of zelda games are the best and mario games are also very good

[Ariya]

Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and WoW are probably the most popular.

[silent]

Final Fantasy of course, I love them

[nejih94]

id ahve to go with mario too,it does hav the most sequals and has an awsome storyline*LOL*but it is pretty good,final fantasy comes in 2nd

[silent]

FF rules I've played every part

[Koopaking]

Tetris pwnz

[leerock89]

The most famous and well known video game ever?

PONG

Think about it. Even old people know this game.

lmao~!~! fantasic man!! i had forgotten about that game!!

[Corwin]

ya know Nejih, if I had to pick one w/ the most sequels I think it would more likely be considered something like Breakout or Tetris, so many clones/sequels of those too, but yeah pong rocked, I remember playing that on my Atari system, that and the old Indiana Jones game, and Snoopy and the Red Baron, that rocked

[nejih94]

ya,they do hav alot osf games,but i get bored with them fast

[Koopaking]

And of course Pac Man and Space Invaders are some the most well known arcade games!

[nejih94]

well wat about st-fighter,it seems pretty popular and was huge for arcade(also MK)

[Persha]

I'll agree that pong, tetris, and mario had a lot to do with the start of the gaming industry and are still very well known. I also think that Final Fantasy VII played a big part with the transition from 2D graphics to 3D.

[newbsrule]

for most famous? mario and pokemon but u gotta add in world of warcraft cause its awsome

[Crubion]

think ill have to go with mario for most famous. lol my best friends grandma plays mario hehehe its awesomel... and 2nd has to be FF

[dannx]

mario and zelda of course, along with tetris, gotta love it, and of course resident evil!!

[Gogo]

Pong, Tetris, Mario, Final Fantasy, Warcraft, Starcraft, and pretty much anything else from Blizzard, especially Diablo.

[Koopaking]

The Ball in a Cup was a pretty intense game as well, and everyone knows it. Wait, a video game...?

[RetroRob70]

your all completly forgetting about the sleeper game that we've all played and that most every one who owns a computer has SOLITAIRE! i mean how many times in a move have we seen someone sitting at a comp playing. solitiare gets my vot for most famous. and as for influential..... i know i dont speek for myself when i say that its helped me pass some really boring days at both school and work

[newbsrule]

pong ftw oyes i went there

[supersaiyu]

The Halo trilogy

[athrun0017]

Sorry but am a final fantasy fan.. Although i do have most of the zelda games.. for me it has to be rpgs'..

[jujutsu]

legend of zelda

[monsoon 10]

[Sun Tzu]

Here's a blast from the past: X-com (UFO Defense for some of you). It was very popular when it came out, and defined an entire genre.

YES!!!!! =)

shame my copy doesnt work with windows XP :mad:

[leerock89]

ggoooooooo battle toads!!!!! and civ 3!!!!!!!!!!!! and dod, moh, cs, tf2(great game)

[Sun Tzu]

ggoooooooo battle toads!!!!! and civ 3!!!!!!!!!!!! and dod, moh, cs, tf2(great game)

Civ 3 was decent, Alpha Centauri was better. Not quite of the Civ series but made by some of the same people.

[xantok]

i would hve to say mario and packman are the most well known... everyone knows who they are

[Shigami]

How about Diablo from blizzard and hmm,Pacman..anyone? :P

[kakashizzz]

mostl final fantasy and zelda

[shiv]

I think the most famous game would be C.Strike...its so damm stupid,and it has no sense!
I think its the most stupid game ever invented!! + destroyed thousands of inocent mids!
(i hope u all know that children realy aplied what they saw in c.strike and masacred their parents and friends!

[Itachi]

The best video game of all time has to be FFVII, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Xenosaga 1 2 and 3, .hack//GU Halo 1 2 and 3, Mass Effect, Smash bros Brawl, and I know its not out yet but too human is gonna be ASWOME!!!!! lol

[shiv]

AION-tower of eternity will be realesed at the end of the year,i'm prety sure it will become greater then wow and lineage,cause they almost perfectly combine the 2 games!

[Felix42]

Clearly the most famous computergame ever, is either Pacman og ping pong. Pacman even had his own tv-show (and cereals)...
How do you make a tv-show with a cheesewheel as the main character i have no idea. I have never actually seen it.

[analogZero]

I personally wouldn't vote it, cuz I didn't play it, but I can always remember how many people I knew went nuts for grand turismo. I guess it was a turning point racing game. though personally mario kart 64 was my turning point racing game. and on the 64 note, golden eye.
aside from that, gotta give pivotal props to pong, space invaders, pac man, tetris, mario bros 3, zelda, doom, nba jam, street fighter, mortal kombat, star fox, ff vii (if I had to pick one), resident evil, tony hawk proskater (sorry, I skateboard, and it was nuts when me and my friends got to play it for the first time on the demo disc), GTA III, halo, and probably some others.
did anybody ever see that movie with fred savage they used to hype mario bros. 3? I remember seeing it and being totally stoked on that game and waiting to get my hands on a copy of it. don't remember what it's called. had some mute kid in it that was super good at video games. bah.

[Ryuuzaki]

I'd say WoW mostly cause they have 90 million+ members but also the GTA games and Halo games are pretty popular

[jinders]

hmm...most interesting...
i'll agree that most of the games mentioned are really good and classic...(not a console gamer myself, so i can't vouch for any of the console ones)
has anyone mentioned StarCraft yet? i personally think that it's perhaps one of THE most popular games of all times....was, anyway LOL. i'll always remember it as the game that launched an entire generation into LAN gaming....

[Shigami]

I'd say WoW mostly cause they have 90 million+ members but also the GTA games and Halo games are pretty popular


It's pretty old comment but oh well..

+90 million? looool

Get your facts right,it's 10 million

[spike81x]

FF7 was probably very pivotal for me

[sousuke]

yea ff7 is a very known game world wide

[Ino]

It's Metal Gear Solid or Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

[Bishop]

the mario series of course!

[totoro16]

I think that the ultimate strategy game for PC was Civilization. It has been followed by Three excellent sequels and the Civilization 2 remains very much a playable version.
I would put Heroes of Might and Magic 3 quite close. I'm not sure that the 4th version lived up to the hype, but some gamers I've talked to say that Heroes 5 has returned to the excellence of Heroes 3.
for action/role playing games I would go for another oldie: Diablo II Lord of Destruction. That's one of the few games upgraded by Apple to work on OS X. That alone implies a real longevity factor.
Would Sims count as a game? It is after all a simulation! If one counts it it is surely as famous as any of those mentioned above!
When it comes to handhelds, i think that Nintendo Gameboy and DS titles are the ones which dominate. I suppose Mario or Zelda have to be the most famous. It's hard to know which though. My own favourite--but probably not in the league of those two would be the Advance Wars series.

[fullmetal]

crisis core or ssbb

[Maydraie]

Halo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[RavynMK]

I would say Zelda and Final Fantasy VII... both were very successful... both games while appearing hard are actually very easy to play... not that I play them... I just watch and strategise.. there are a lot of other reasons as well but my eyes hurt to much for me to continue typing.

Need say No more! Im speachless, you stole my words by the letter Lee !!

[Blooddrunk]

Final Fantasy VII, Counter-Strike and Diablo

[ForeverSin]

Pacman maybe?

[Elegroth]

The most famous Video Game is of course Pong!

[Dark Turbo]

It would be PONG! it was first Video Game Ever Released, who could beat that?

[monsoon 10]

[Silverleon]

What about the Metal Gear Solid or the Devil May cry series

[analogZero]

I forgot about where in the world is carmen sandiego.

[leerock89]

Pac Man and Asteroids.

[gravion17]

Madden Football: The day it comes out each year has become a Religious Holiday...with NCAA Football being a VERY close 2nd!

[Bishop]

i wouldnt spend so much money just to get the same game with minor updates, asmuch as i like the Madden/ncaa games

[sousuke]

id spend alot if the remade ff7 for ps3

[Fam1st]

i agree with souske i would giv my rite foot 4 a ff7 remade on the p3

[Elegroth]

I wouldn't give a body part for it, but I would defiantly pay $100 for a PS3 Remake.

[illuma]

I think i posted that mentioning that, i'm not too sure but i read it somewhere. I also would spend a lot of money if they remade that game. Personally though I think they should remake all of em. Id give an arm for that to happen.

[sousuke]

they made a ff7 remake on ps3 ONLY in JAPAN

[shadowmaks]

I would have to say Chrono Cross. I never really played it but I've seen my cousin play it and well he let me play but it was busted and could only play the first dungen and then it would freeze. It was also one of very few games that got a perfect 10/10 rating. That means everyone that ever rated it gave a 10/10.

Dont know that game .. but half life 2 had a higher score.

[shadowmaks]

Dont know that game .. but half life 2 had a higher score.

Who does something get higher than a perfect?

[sousuke]

there is only 1 game that got a 10/10 from EVERY critic an its zelda ocarnia of time, gta4 came CLOSE but thats about it

[AIDA]

its halo end of discussion i dont care who says watever its halo.

[sousuke]

halo aint got nothing on ff7

[scotsman]

I think FF9 has a better story than FF7. I still don't see what motivated Sephiroth to do what he did. but the best video games is just to hard to decide. there's to many things to take into account since games are generally aimed for a specific market you would need one that every one would enjoy. but it's most famous so I'm going with pong

[fullmetal]

super smash bros brawl

[Kenshy]

The most famous video game is either Street Fighter or Super Mario Bros. C'mon, even your parents will have heard of them!

[LoKiWorlD]

The famous title Final Fantasy puts all others to shame.

[quietchat]

Which one?

[Dolly]

Half-Life and Everquest.

[Mugen]

Sonic, Halo, Half Life and GTA.

[Stray_Pube]

Screw you guys. THE best ansd most famous game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

[atomsk]

gta 3
think if you could even get your hands on a good 3d game. then you get one and you can go anywhere in the game. kill anyone. do any hooker. kill friggin cops. i knew about gta3 before i knew about any classics.
next id have to say Mario
u know why
Zelda ocarina of time:
well firkin duh not only has everyone heard of this game. its practicly the only game you would pick if you could play any game in the world before you died.

<i love how spell check has Zelda and Mario in it

[Anime_Dude]

the best game ever is tetris,thats it no other game can match it^^

[alsharid]

Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[wi_sam]

mario , pacman , tetris .

ff and now gta . i have to say resident evil is too .......

they are even famous here in the middle east ... lol ..espclly GTA ,oh and the disgusting counter strike .uuuck

[Mugen]

Counter Strike is awesome, how could I forget it!? I sucked at it, though. I'm not good at mouse + keyboard.

[AnbuItachi]

chrono trigger do i need to say more?!!

[suigintou]

I'm pretty sure that titles like Super Mario Bros., Tetris, Pong, and Pac-Man are always going to be the most famous games.

[am0184]

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the first game to get a 10 out of 10 and it was amazing

[Sanehouse]

One of the top most famous video games, without a doubt, is Final Fantasy VII. I usually hear nothing about anything but Final Fantasy VII. Gets on my nerves after a while.

[Itachi]

hmm I would have to say Mario Brothers, FFVII, and halo are the top 3

[partyprobe]

There is no game that is the most poplular. it is a tie between alot of the oldies.

[conigwolf]

Final Fantasy Series

[Vakarak]

The Castlevania series. That series is just pure magic and putting aside the terrible graphics the gameplay systems were unlike anything seen before or will ever be seen again, they actually give you a reason to kill hordes of enemy monsters and the real thing that I like about it the most is that the gameplay systems change dramatically for the next game title.

[bluedragon]

i think Zelda was a famous game even today and also metroid i remember those games

[conigwolf]

It's the final fantasy series

[aa32wa]

Final Fantasy series and Streetfighter 2...

But I think you can't beat the classics like Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong... they've been around for years so would be up there in term of being the most famous.

[InFaMY]

I Agree cant beat the classics Pac Man Pong Super Mario Bros Donkey Kong Dig Dug Galaga all those sweet Atari and Coin-Op games but with the new gen as much as i hate to say it the new icon that every one can look at and know exaccly who it is now adays is Master Cheif so Halo is winning the New wave now adays When halo came out for Orginal X-Box it took the gameing industruy by storm no one ever seen a game like that before it was very innovative and its become a juggernuat series now Final Fantasy is a good one but thats been around for awhile and personally i think its lost abit of its flavor but then again i never really was big into FF the only one i really love in FF8 and most people hate that one Kingdom Hearts was a Huge score for Square and Disney becuase Disney never really had a profitable game nor did they have a appeal to a 14 to 19 audiance when your that age you have no intrest in disney thats why disneys smartest move was for the rights of their chars to be made for kingdom hearts and that is one of Squares Best selling Franchises and highly anticapted how many people cant wait for KH3 (witch screen shots are out there people its being made for Ps3 sadly) This brings me up to Talking about corpoations doing good movies Square Micorsoft picking up the halo rights to talking about Bad choices Nintendo used to be the most dominating company in the gameing industry now they are struggleing my opinion game cube witch failed and the wii i personally hate the wii and i know alot of people who dont care for the wii as well i know several people who bought a wii and traded it in the wii was a great system idea in paper but the reality is its a terriable idea nobody wants to play FPS games moveing around and everything and that one game they came out with a banjo kazoie game maybe they advertised it that it was the first game you could play with your but cuase they head this slead like thing nobody wants that i know i wouldnt want to use my controler again if i had to use my arse to play it i much rather sit on my comppy chair and shoot locust or chainsaw them in a nice friendly game of horde So i know i just went on a little spree of rant there sorry but my point is games comes with fame in every genre and every time a new system or a new game engine comes out your gonna get a juggernuat game that will inspire a unfrogetable character so you cant put fame on games to many people know to many characters its in the eye of the beholder persay

[Ayabrea2]

I think the most famous game is Mario. Every mario that came out is extremely famous. Mario has been around forever and it is the most funniest game alove. From grown adults who played it since young to kids now so, this goes to mario.

[shadowmaks]

Well, this one is kinda in the new spot but, the whole Disgaea series is great. Truth is that it is one of the most indeph game I played, dispite it's lower than average graphics. It was because of this game, I started to play turn-by-turn strait games.

[wiiman0727]

Got to say the Smash Bros franchize

[Mugen]

But Disgaea is not the most famous.

[LadyHinata]

the Legend of Zelda
Mario
Sonic
Final Fantasy
are in my opinion some that should be up for the title

[Basil]

Disgaea is too new to be the 'most famous game'.
I'd have to say something like Sonic, or Legend of Zelda.
Those games are frickin' classic, man.

[illusion]

Call of Duty

[EvilWolf]

Mario... no one can say "I've never heard of Mario" and actually mean it... that makes it the most "famous" game... since... everyone knows it...

[Zaraki]

Original Nintendo games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and so on. Mario and others are still popular today, but Halo, and Gears of War for sure.

[partyprobe]

tic tac toe ,pong or tetris

[blood zero]

The most famous and kick butt game ive ever played is Gears of war 2 it beats any other game EVERRRRRRR!!

[Mugen]

Call of DutyCoD is one of the most famous next-gen titles.

[Veronica]

the most famous game everyone knows it MARIO

[Shi-chan]

Mario, Pong or Tetris.

[SmokedBoo]

I'm going to have to go w/ Final Fantasy, I know some ppl aren't a big fan of the series but the first one not only changed things in a big way for the company that produced it, but it also changed the way we game in a huge way, before that RPG style games didn't have much influence w/ gamers and now almost everyone has played at least one, they've grown in scope and complexity, and they are one of the driving forces behind console purchases

Final Fantasy was one of the first games I ever played. It got me wanting to play RPGs more.

On a bad note, I'd say E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. It was subsequently the downfall of all video games. And honestly, I don't know of anyone who even played later E.T. games.

[hsb39]

The most famous game has to be Super Mario Bros. People who hate video games still know it (in fact I know someone who often gets the theme stuck in their head, even though the person despises video games).

[Silverleon]

Maybe there isn't a most popular ONE, but there are the most popular ONES, which i believe would be Mario games, GTA games. MGS games, and as from recently, LBP!

[hsb39]

When it comes to fame, are we just talking about in the gaming world? Because I'm kind of assuming that it's just all around, and if so, Mario series by a very long shot.

Keep in mind that there's a difference in most popular and known by most, sure everyone knows Mario, but since Nintendo decided to Over use him 'till they can't get any more money from it, its been losing a lot of fans, and its popularty's been dropping a lot.

I certainly haven't seen that. Especially not with the core games. And it's stil the most famous.

[Silverleon]

Let me put it to you this way so you understand my point.
What happened on the latest Mario game? everyone was like oh, an other Mario game, some might be like "Oh cool, this is probably good" others "bleh, yet ANOTHE Mario game", And as you can see, Mario games don't make any fuss anymore because people don't care about them as much anymore.
In the other hand, look at how much attention LBP is getting world wide, all the fuss and racketing, even a parade (i think), everyone making fan madde products, and all the stuff happening realted to it. Bet you won't see any upcoming Mario games get that much attention anymore, yes, he's known world wide, but he's also been over-used.
Do you get my point?

I get your point I just don't agree.

[FlrcntKnht]

Oddly enough im taken a class on Game Design and we are talking about all these games. I was browsing and I happen to notice, sorry if i did not see you, that Metal Gear Solid was not on here. Personally while not really well known amoungst all people but definetly amoungst gamers would have to be Tekken and Street Fighter. Halo while very popular I found Call Duty more fun only because i could get into the story and not feel like this could never happen. Well i'll stop now soi don't bore i could go on and on and...

[aezgaga]

Pong ... It's an epic win ... I still have this game on my atari XD I just plug it on tv...
:-Hey come play ps3 on the Big HDTV
-Fuck You I'm Playing PONG ! Get lost you noob ! (that's how i win ^^)


warcraft for sure..... and pinball XD

When talking of fame I guess that Pong is pretty up there, as is Tetris and Space Invaders.

[spirit]

In my humble opinion, the crucial moment in the gaming world was when the v-games: Doom and Quake first came out.
Those two games initiated series of 3D video games.

[hsb39]

In my humble opinion, the crucial moment in the gaming world was when the v-games: Doom and Quake first came out.
Those two games initiated series of 3D video games.

I would have to say Miyamoto was more crucial, pretty much every game has something from Miyamoto.

[Ryudo]

Pac Man Series (Pac-Man MS. Pac-Man, JR Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Pac-Attack, Pac-Man World), hell it's been on every computer platform, counsole, handheld, cell phone in one form or another from the atari 2600 to the XBox 360, probably has taken more ppl's quarters than any other arcade and has it's own cartoon series. If that's not fame than I don't know what is...

[spirit]

I would have to say Miyamoto was more crucial, pretty much every game has something from Miyamoto.
Do we distinguish the difference between games on consoles... and PC video games? I believe the first multilayer games were only on PC.

[Koopaking]

Do we distinguish the difference between games on consoles... and PC video games? I believe the first multilayer games were only on PC.

Multiplayer right...? I think an incredibly distinguishable difference between PC games and consoles games is that console games are played on consoles, and PC games are played on PCs. Arcades in the late 70s, games like Pong had multiplayer capabilities years before Steve and Steve tinkered out their Apples which were among the first PCs to even be able to have an easily understandable interface, and limited games.

[Mugen]

The first 3d game was a game called Maze-Wars, and the first multi-player game was also a 3d FPS that came out in 1974 or 1975 and was called Spasim. [Maze War was also Multi-player]

[vivek8000]

The most famous and well known video game ever is Street Fighter.

[SmokedBoo]

We can't forget about StarFox now. It was the first 3D game for Nintendo if I remember correctly.

Why did you quote my Miyamoto comment for that? Miyamoto effected games on PC too. And the first multiplayer game was Pong I believe...

You learn something new every day.

The most famous and well known video game ever is Street Fighter.

Well known and famous... Not Street Fighter, not compared to Mario.

We can't forget about StarFox now. It was the first 3D game for Nintendo if I remember correctly.

You learn at least two new things per day.

[mikesword]

I think the most famous games are:
Legend of Zelda
Halo
Warcraft
and Kingdom Hearts.

[xantok]

i like FFVII and FFX haven't played XI or higher yet

as for most famous i have have to go with the original Mario... it started the whole Mario thing... if not Mario then pacman...

[hsb39]

Also Space Invaders and Pong. If you're talking about fame in video games, it will often be what has been spoofed the most, and they're pretty high up there.

I think that I've said this before but I think that the best game is OoT.

[Dark_Thorn]

I would personally say that Legend of the Dragoons was the best game. It for the Playstation. It had great grafics and it set the bar for all the FF. games and much more.

Miyamoto set the bar for all modern games. There isn't anything that doesn't use his principles (outside of games that use Tetris' principles). He was the first guy to make it so that you had to find out yourself what you were supposed to do, and was largely criticised for it at the time.

And Ocarina set quite a huge bar that no games really ever met (I don't think that Twilight Princess made it).

Dude, don't argue every freakin opinion, especially seeing as you're some sort of Mario/Nintendo fanatic.
Jeez, i know you're in denial for the fact that Nintendo and most of their games have fallen behind, but keep in mind that everyone has thei opinions, and you rejecting theirs doesn't means you're right at all.
So calm down if you don't like one opinion, everyone has a different point of view dammit.
Jeez, you're one-side minded and won't consider anything else but your belief, and even if they show you preoof of how wrong you are tyou're still gonna deny it so let the oethers be with their freakin opinions ok???

I will certainly admit that I overly argue everything. But I am in now way in denial, it is clear that you don't understand what I say.

I let people have their opinions, and it seems that you are being a little hypocritical, you are claiming that I am wrong, and saying that I am one-sided, when you are showing those exact same characteristics.

Now, if you want to argue my opinions, rather than simply saying that I am wrong, maybe show some points. Which post-Mario/Zelda (original) games that aren't puzzle games don't use Miyamoto's concepts?

GAH! its no point talking to you, you don't seem to understand what its being asked, NOTHING to do about concepts and base games and whan Myamoto did!!!
And i am not hypocritical at all, as i have not taken any sides. I never said you were wrong, just saying its not for sure you're right, yet you insist that you are. If you can't see the difference between thos two things then its no use speaking to you on this.

[Memorix]

It's hard to say.. Alot of past and recent games have become famous since they've been out...

[hsb39]

Well we are actually talking about fame, so I went off topic when I talked about what game I thought was best, although I did that replying to someone else. I have said that my opinion is that OoT is still the best game ever, because I have gotten the most enjoyment out of it. That is my opinion, and it is largely based around the way that time was done. I do not believe that any recent games have matched OoT.

And i am not hypocritical at all, as i have not taken any sides. I never said you were wrong, just saying its not for sure you're right, yet you insist that you are. If you can't see the difference between thos two things then its no use speaking to you on this.

Hmm... Really.

That looks like an opinion. It seems that that is the opposite of my opinion, insisting that I am wrong, with no evidence, hence the hypocritical aspect.

It seems that you do not understand my original points:

- The conversation went off topic and talked about favourite video games.
- I mentioned that my favourite was OoT.
- When Dark Thorn said mentioned his favourite game set the bar for FF, I mentioned that Miyamoto set the bar for all games that were made after them.

[Silverleon]

Then why the heck did you not say that earlier? ::D:
Also, what i said about nintendo's games falling behind, that wasn't an opinion, that was a fact :P

[Jerome27]

I think it's gonna be wack

It truly isn't. Something so subjective can't be a fact. I think that modern video games from other companies are just getting worse as they try to use violence and realistic graphics to make up for gameplay. And I believe that Nintendo is holding it's good standard, although they aren't showing as many amazingly new things because they have exhausted many of them. No one is coming up with really original ideas any more.

But I think that Nintendo's success can be shown by it's three most famous games:

Mario: Galaxy was awesome, New Super Mario Bros. was a much needed blast from the past.
Zelda: TP was very good, and was the game that the fans wanted as it was the most like OoT (I am certainly not alone in saying that it is the best game). Phantom Hourglass was very fun I will admit that it could have been harder, which brings me to Spirit Tracks, which I am sure will be harder. Spirit Tracks looks like the direct sequel to PH, the add was released recently.
Pokemon: It's great, you can't really have an opinion about the incredibly complex world of Pokemon competitive battle without knowing something about it. I'd suggest smogon.com .

EDIT: Yay! Post 100.

Dude, i was kidding...
Sheesh, you're a Nintendo fanatic so there's no point discussiong to you, you'll see any negative response serious or joke and attack it and try to defend Nintendo with ANYTHING no mather how irrelevant it is to the actual discussion, jeez m8, you seem like one of those fanboys that's trying to defend his console trying to not have a regret of getting it.
Bet you were gonna say something like i'm the fanboy for disscusiong or whatever and have an argument that has nothing to do with this that to you proves i'm a fanboy, but no, i simply try to make discussions with people that are so into something because they're probably gonna keep at I of course create these forr sheer entertainment for the odd responses....

[Silverleon]

(Ran out of space)
....I get from you people. It amuses me so much how many actually care for when a complete stranger in the internet disagrees with them, So far from here only 2 have fallen for this and one of them is you.
But seriousy m8, you have to take it easy on the whole "I love you Nintendo please have my babies!" thing, its kinda creepy...:oo:

OK, see it from my point of view. It looked as though you were making a completely serious statement, saying a fact about something completely subjective.

And if you've seen me around the forum, you may notice that I like arguing in general, this is no different. You should see me on topics that matter.

And I don't need to convince myself, the Wii is the best console that I have ever gotten, I'm not saying this objectively, I am saying this because I have gotten the most enjoyment out of it. This can come from backwards compatability alone.

And don't think that I am only seeing this from one side, I have many friends with other consoles and I have played them both. I don't have as much fun playing other consoles.

[SmokedBoo]

Wow, you guys really veered off topic. o.O

Sigh, you don't get it don't you?
I don't care if the wii is good or not, i'm good with my console, and that's it.
In case you didn't read, i'm just arguin to get an amusing responese. ::D:

You're always going to get an amusing response out of me, I went ballistic on Pokemon vs. Digimon because everyone kept refering to the Pokemon show as though it was the real Pokemon.

And I am good with my console also (and as a spiteful comment, the Wii is actually a large number of consoles), we agree on something.

[starscream]

I would have to say Goldeneye. The platform for multi-player FPS was never better. The fact that the 64 controler worked so well with the game I find myself yerning for one like it nowadays.

[Adremalech]

To me it would be a tie between Final Fantasy 8 and Elder Scrolls 3:Morrowind...
Both games stretched graphical and storytelling limits at the time they came out and both have drained an enormous amount of time out of my life... >.>

NES/SNES world still some of my fav. Atari 2600 holds a place in my heart w/ Intelevision.

For playability, ability to get sucked into it still at random times on MANY systems, platforms and OSs has to be Tetris in my world.

Umm.. this is about the games themselves, consoles have nothing to do with it, and it not about YOUR favorite, but about the most famous worldwide...
Actually, i think you just posted something completly different to what's being asked::D:

I was thinking: "should I comment on that or should I just leave it? I don't want to look mean, and I don't like using smily faces to show niceness".

But Tetris is pretty high up there, I might have mentioned it, but it's a game that people who hate video games like.
