Video games - which one is legendary?

[Maartah]

not being legendary =/= sucky game
Nw reply at the points made, or agree that I might've had a point or two.

[aander91]

Were's Half-Life, LoZ(?), MGS and Katamari Damacy(?!)?

Yeah, HL, Portal, MGS, FF, and Myst. Yes Myst. Even more Riven. Tell me another game that has achieved the status of "art".

1. The Powerglove is not a great innovation, well, because it obviously did not take off. I'd never even heard of it. So, it actually equals a fail.


Stupid argument. so if you'd never have heard of Hitler or Ghandi, they wouldn't have been legendary at all. It's naive and selfish to use yourself as the standard.


2. GuitarFreaks is the same case. Is it popular? No, so it cannot be epic or legendary. I bet 85% of people had never heard of that either. While, I bet 95% know what Guitar Hero is.


Again, something can be legendary without the majority acknowledging it. The mass usually hypes commercial stuff, where the little beauties get no attention at all. Ever played Psychonauts? It's a HELL OF A GAME, but it was refused a sequal. But ****** games based on multimillion movies (hulk, hellsing, spiderman) get multi-platform releases and several sequals. They are well known, but not near a legendary status.


3. As for Guitar Hero not being original, is clearly is. Even if it was already created, but not perfected by Konami, it's still original in how they perfected it.


"Original in the way they perfected it". BS. Listen, I know it's better if you've stolen something good than invented something crappy in the gaming-industry, but using a good idea another company made and perfecting it isn't original. Wow, konami didn't think of starpower, oh now GH is legendary!

You equal fail.

Why are you arguing that Guitar Hero sucks when you're on a forum that plays a replica of it?

Martown'd, and when did he say that it sucked? Let's check.

Hmm...bad ideas can make good games as can rip-offs. Rock Band is a rip off (well...now it's more of vice versa since it really IS Harmonix engine...) of Guitar Hero. And Guitar Hero is a rip off of Guitar Freaks. All (with the exception of GH3) are fun games.

Really? So...popular=epic?

Let's put this formula into a present day example.

Hmm...so, Hannah Montana is popular therefore she's epic.

Jonas Brothers is popular therefore they're epic.

High School Musical is popular therefore it's epic.

Naked Brothers Band is popular therefore they're epic.

I'll let you guys decide...

it's also not fun

Neither is your mother but I don't complain.

Holy ****...

Does anyone even kow aander?
Didnt think so.

Go back in your hole.

[jake2k3]

He's contributed far more to these boards than you have and joined almost half a year later. I'd stop trying to be cool and watch what I say if I were you.

You still haven't come up with a valid counter-point, either.

noone cared about guitarfreaks before Guitar Hero came out and noone cares about it now so it's hardly legendary

[rednano12]

Aduro, read this; it's good for you

Were's Half-Life, LoZ(?), MGS and Katamari Damacy(?!)?

Smash Bros. >.>

I said "legendary", as in the stuff of legends

something being popular has to at least be one prerequisite to something being legendary

[kpChadR08]

I think this has become the definition of a "flamewar".

Lock?

[jake2k3]

This seems more like a mild-mannered discussion to me. As long as we keep the childish "your mom" comments down I think it could be quite entertaining and we might even learn something.

A flamewar? No. Ducky's religious debates turned into a flamewar. This is but a children's lightshow with sparklers and glo-sticks.

I think you're my favorite person on here

ALL OF YOU ******* SHUT UP.
This topic is about games that are legendary. The OP put specific games as poll choices, therefore, it is assumed that we should pick from those choices. If you do not believe any of those games are legendary, you do not need to start spamming the topic. Maybe that stuff is okay at other forums, but not here. A guy wanted a simple response, and look at what happened. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Edit: Especially you yoyo.

[aduro]

I always assumed the point of the thread with a poll was to discuss the options sorry

[vedicardi]

It's a pretty stupid thread in the first place, no need to make a big deal out of it.

what the hell you ass. i never even posted here until now.

Out of all those games id say the only legendary ones are pacman and space invaders. they have been around for years, erm decades and are still played by people, for people of the newer generations they see it as a novelty ( a quick n easy game to play ) and the older generations see it as something great from there child hood. most of the other games are just whats come out since next gen consoles have been here. if they are still played as much in 15-20 years then they may gain legend status...
