[PPOTW] Do you think GTA V is "The game of the generation"?

[Deleted User]

Anyone who thinks Star Wars is better than Schindler's List is being ridiculous.

Personally, I agree, but I was using the two movies as an example of different genre's with nothing alike. I tried to imply that you can't review two completely different things against each other, it's all personal opinions.

Double post, my bad (3G internet is horrible).

I dislike Star Wars, and don't know what Schindler's List is, so I think I'm in the clear.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

don't know what Schindler's List is

...Anyway, I think the games that define everyone's personal experience with this generation will be different, and it's hard to say broadly that one game is the "defining game of this generation."

But let's all be honest, that game was Bastion.

whyyy??? noooo... but I don't mean to take this thread off topic; if your curiosity has awakened, then that's what pm's are for

 

[Deleted_171835]

it ain't gotg but it's certainly going to be one of those games people remember fondly when looking back at this gen.

That's debatable, but what isn't debatable is that Empire totally blows Schindler away.

Your mom's debatable.

Absolutely not, a real game has a point.

 

[Gahars]

Absolutely not, a real game has a point.

Even if we ignore the narrative, because hey, many people do... What, enjoyment, fun, and/or catharsis don't count as a "point" now?

Its hard to say which game will be the game of this generation. i look at this game as being a Call of Duty type of game. And when I say type I don't mean bad. I mean its a popular game that will sell millions and millions of copies but thats about it. I don't think the game will have the same effect as other games doing something for the first time.

 

[ComeTurismO]

Um, yes.
That's all
GTAV for the win.
I finally got the weekend to play on it, unfortunately the school is tearing me apart from the gameplay.

 

[VashTS]

there really isn't any one game that defines this gen. its more like the 80s, you have to group it by that decade not what was in it.

this gen totally wins for me. i like choice and i like the errors the company made when they built the architecture! trucha bug ftw and sony's RNG = x everytime!

 

[TripleSMoon]

I say no. Not because I have anything against GTA, mind you. I've never even played a single GTA game even once. I say no simply because I don't believe any single game can be "game of the generation." There are tons and tons of games that come out every generation, some of them genuinely amazing and some of them godawful. And among the genuinely amazing ones, they still all have different strengths and weaknesses that are all different to each other. Sure, there definitely are games that could be called objectively better than others, but I don't think any single game can possible trump them all.

 

[Xexyz]

You want to know the game I'm REALLY excited for?!? Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS and Mario Party 3DS!!!!!

No, everyone's hyped about it but its basically just another GTA game people are gonna get tired of soon enough, same thing happened to GTA Episodes From Liberty City, same thing will happen as well.

You realize you're comparing expansion packs to a main entry in the franchise, right? Kind of a huge difference.

Not to mention that GTA IV and its related content still has a nice chunk of people playing it, and there's a huge modding scene for the game. Not too shabby for a 5 year old game.

 

[emigre]

I though Episodes from Liberty City was excellent.

From where I sit GTA5 is getting near universal adoration, GTA4 was not so universally praised.
