Mario 64 gets grandfather-clause'd--and rightly so given the influence it has had on setting the standard for 3D platformers--but as a game in its own right it hasn't aged well. The physics are clunky, the levels are more frustrating than challenging, and the aesthetics feel like a random sampling of default polygon skins (which they pretty much are). It's still good, it just feels like it's on too high a shelf.

I think among kids it's not quite so bad (but the kids I know who call themselves gamers are still messed up, just not in manbaby misogynist ways).

After Gamergate, I became really uncomfortable with the term.

i dont think this is that controversial, galaxy and galaxy 2 pretty much ate 64s lunch, theyre both huge steps forward from the game that was originally played with an n64 controller

Anyone who thinks video games are art and then thinks the Mario games are the pinnacle of video games needs to get their head straightened out.

Mario is the antithesis of art. He's a little squeaky piece of poo poo. Mario games always boil down to tired 'save the princess' plots that have literally nothing to do with the game design. Yes there are art elements in terms of music and the level design, but that is similar to the paintings on Settlers of Catan pieces or the text on Cards Against Humanity cards.

Mario games may be good games, but to consider them art is a problem. Especially when people in this very forum will laud Mario games but admonish games like...say...Battlefield 1 as 'bro' games when they at least try to show some kind of pathos towards soldiers at war.

To call Mario games art is to call a rubick's cube art. There is nothing on Mario that evokes any kind of emotion at all.

They should make more card adventure games. Pokémon TCG on the gameboy was awesome. I also enjoyed this dinky Monster Rancher card game on the PSX. These things can't be hard to make. Why don't they make it.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
4K is ruining games. All the extra horsepower from the new consoles is being put toward reaching a resolution that the vast majority of people don't even have, instead of toward better graphics. And most people's TVs are probably too small to even be able to tell the difference between 1080 and 4K.

They won't be able to do 4k at decent frame rates anyway. A Geforce 1080 struggles with 4k at 60 frames per second with all the bells and whistles turned on in AAA games. Even a 1080 ti or a Titan can only come close to a steady 60 frames per second.

Who is more to blame for the rush to "best" graphics? The consumers who won't be satisfied until Call of Duty can induce PTSD in Army Reserve members, or the developers/corporate side convinced that consumers will always buy new and shiny above all logic?

Mario Galaxy actually sucks compared to 64. Although Galaxy has a lot of creative, colorful ideas in it, 64 has a wider space of actual gameplay. Galaxy is literally on rails half the time.
