bathory Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 bioshock's not really innovative I guess, but it's a more unique concept than rereleasing a game from 1998 in HD and charging 60 dollars for it. Yes, but that's completely irrelevant to the conversation. Sunshine and Galaxy were far more innovative then console shooters ever have been. Those are basically just reskinned versions of earlier games, perhaps with a different mechanic here or there. I know this isn't SOCN, but I feel like you're arguing against a strawman that loves call of duty and any game with violence and thinks mario is "for babies." you are the one who said super mario galaxy is more innovative than any shooter since 1996. I was saying that there are plenty of important and innovative shooters. has there been a truly innovative shooter in recent years? probably not. but I don't think you should dismiss half-life or the first halo as unimportant just because you prefer to play super mario 64 expansion paks every few years. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I like mario galaxy and mario sunshine more than halo too, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking nintendo rules the game world and hasn't stopped ruling just because it takes us back to being a small child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making a stretch too, I just think led was overestimating how innovative modern nintendo games are. f**k innovation though, play what you like.

RushBoingo Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 1. PS12. Wii U3. PS24. Wii5. Xbox 360 (this gets ranked below the wii because it was the dawn on annoying online hassels for using video game systems. I have had too many bad experiences with this system's online details) Any weird choices on here to you. That's because these are the only systems I have ever owned. Also why is everyone putting the NES at the top. I sense some nostalgia goggles here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Halo (playing the Master Chief Collection now), and I like CoD (I've played 75% of them, and loved the early ones). I didn't enjoy half-life, but I only played it several years after release, so I didn't seen anything too unique or interesting in it. In context, it is impressive. But the shooters...on consoles especially...don't innovate. The very slowly evolve. I am also arguing that Nintendo's main series haven't merely been rehashes and remakes like many of the exclusives on other systems. Nintendo makes incredibly high quality, innovative, and expansive first person games on their main series, especially Mario and Zelda. Mario has innovated at almost every turn, and Zelda did the same until the most recent releases (which did have a dramatic change in controller set up).

Lost In Xanadu Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just finished up my basement projects... painted, new flooring, built the bar.... and just this week I got my old Atari 2600 hooked up. I have a bunch of games (at least 25), and there are a few I didn't even remember how to play. I looked up how to play Superman, and what a crazy game. Lex Luthor blows up a bridge, you have to fly around and put Lex and his crew in jail and rebuild the bridge all while avoiding Kryptonite. If you get hit by the floating Kryptonite asterisks, you have to find Lois Lane and kiss her to get your powers back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never played Fantasy Zone back in the day, but I do love the 3D version on the 3DS. You may be the only person I've ever met that would put the SMS in your top consoles list.
