I think it's pretty impressive it managed to win the vote against games like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid. It deserves it though, truely a great game for its time.
Still a pretty damn good game today. OoT 3D is one of the best games on the 3DS.

Most definitely. I wasn't trying to imply its no longer a good game, but I'm sorry if I made it sound that way.
I mean, quality wasn't as widespread back then as it is today.
"I'm not old enough to have been involved in that generation."
Batman Arkham Knight > Old Batman Beatemup games.
Annual games industry income > Annual movie industry income
Those two tenants alone prove my point. The games industry has grown and with it so has quality. I'm not singing the praises of any of 8th gen, but generally, over time, investment has increased so we saw more and more third parties make games on the level of huge system seller projects like Zelda. Where you used to get movie tie-ins you now get Mad Max (which is apparently aight.)
that's probably because all the bad licensed stuff went to iOS
To a degree, but there didn't used to be the same kind of good licensed stuff. There are more games each year therefore there are more good games on the whole.

I disagree
Although I wouldn't say that Arkham Knight was a good example of quality, after all they did have to withdraw the PC version from shelves and the XBOne version has frozen on me 4 or 5 times.

I'm not commenting on version differences. Anyway, I don't love Arkham Knight (granted I'm apathetic towards most open world games,) so perhaps that's a bad example. Either way, a trilogy of the highest-A 'AAA' games were produced around a license and received very well generally. This isn't just about licensed games, either. There are a ton of smaller games nowadays that compete for the market space and occasionally really hit (Minecraft, Journey, Dust AET, Rocket League, Limbo, etc.)
You really can't disprove the simple inevitability that more popularity translates to more investment, more games, and finally more 'good' games. That's all I'm saying.

whispers sega.
you're just a kid who thinks great graphics and a hollywood storyline with an achievements box popping up every 45 seconds make a video game. the complete opposite to how gamers think.
I might be remembering this wrong but I remember hearing once a great phrase along the lines of "bigger budgets mean more good games and less great games."
And I love mainstream stuff quite a bit at times but that sounds right to me. Especially AAA gaming, especially the last couple of years. Last year in particular where everything just seemed to peak at around a 7/10. Specifically that section in that year-ok I'll stop
