VBC was posting in every xbone and PS4 thread. What confuses me the most is that he is building a negative reputation on the support of Nintendo systems that he doesn't even own. I guess there's nothing to understand though?

I mean, I don't think a hypothetical "Citizen Kane of video games" would necessarily have to have been unpopular or a financial failure in its time. Those are sometimes side effects of taking risks and being ahead of its time, but that's not always the case. But it should be a game that essentially defines a lot of what we consider "modern" in video games. It's hard to think of an analogue in games for what Citizen Kane brought to movies, because Citizen Kane innovated on a bunch of aspects that are common to just about every kind of movie. If I had to identify something that's inherent to what a video game is, something that is common to all video games, I guess I'd have to say that a player has to be able to interact with it in some way. So a hypothetical "Citizen Kane of video games" would probably have to innovate hugely on how we interact with games in a way that (slowly) becomes hugely influential, while also being an excellent game in its own right.

Chances are, either that's already happened and we don't have the critical distance yet to identify it (like Sleeveless pointed out, applying it to a new game is almost certainly missing the point), or it won't happen for a long while because video games are too busy pretending to be movies to be their own medium.

Kewpuh, I think you should ban stux for not participating, because being that Stux has been banned 6 times in his posting career here, he'll come right back, so you should at least get lowtax an additional :10bux: while you're at it.

This is the only good post you've ever made. Some of the text goes by too quickly, but otherwise this is pretty great.
