Message: [QUOTE="Tonberry, post: 80356, member: 124861"] I mean, I agree with you. I just wanted to try and summarize and clarify my thoughts on the whole thing since you replied to my post. Like I said, I don't really use the terms, but I recognize that they do their job well. Just like how I don't use the term run-n-gun which is ancient. I think a reason why there's "pushback" for terms like that in the first place is because it kinda indirectly implies that the games they're named after are the pinnacle of the term [I][SIZE=3](and even though I love Symphony of the Night, it's nowhere near as tight as Super Metroid, but that's besides the point lol, and no one can agree on what defines a "Souls" game somehow)[/SIZE][/I], which is part of a bigger problem in video games I think, where I feel there's a big sort of anti-intellectual "movement" who demands that video games must be taken seriously, but still refuses to let go of the old games, and elevate them based on subjective opinion rather than critical analysis, when those should be two different things. But that's a discussion for another take. :) [/QUOTE]
