Re: Random: IGN's 'Best Video Game Of All Time' Tournament Is Getting WILD

"Is Chrono Trigger better than Burnout 3? According to IGN's audience, it is not. Also, Skyrim is better than Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild is better than Resident Evil 4 and Super Mario Bros. 3, Batman: Arkham City is better than Super Mario 64, Titanfall 2 is better than Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Bloodborne is better than Tetris."

Actually, I agree with a couple of these. Breath of the Wild IS better in terms of variety, control and nuance. Burnout 3 is better for accesibillity, control, flow and appeal. Bloodborne is better for realised ambition, atmosphere, scale, variety and a host of other reasons.

@Tott saying we are all human sounds a bit speciest mate. 😉

On a serious note, I understand the idea behind what you are conveying but you know, these terms change every few years. I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of decades we went back to the original bible mentioning of 'cripples' instead of handicapped, disabled, differently abled, handicapable you name it.

My specific point is, and my apologies to the fine author for derailing the topic this way, we don't need terminology for the standard. A chair that hasn't broken yet isn't a 'proper sittable chair', a cat that still has all four of its legs isn't an 'able bodied cat'.

Unfortunate as it is to be disabled, disabilities are not the norm so we don't need a name for what is the expected.
