It’s the reaction you will see people in 10 years give when you talk about that game Halo, and how it was an ordinary shooter (which it was from my perspective). Some fantasies hold more power over others, to extend your Christ metaphor.

A delusion then...

This is where the act of critiquing something breaks down. The idea of something being better (in a subjective way) but less desirable.

You’re doing the lord’s work, Son.

Oh damn...

Tough to say. Nostaglia is hard to nail down sometimes, because I feel like the GBA games were missing that atmosphere (music probably) and sense of emptiness and dread. Ask a kid who played them at the same age as me when I played Super Metroid, and they will tell you that magic is present in the GBA games.

No one warned you dethroning on a good game will get a reaction?

Aren’t opinions fun? You get to be as wrong as you like! Also, making inflammatory remarks without explaining yourself is fun too; I see you know.

You’ve got a lot to learn so I’m gonna let that comment slide; But the next time you compare Super Metroid to a bunch of monkies, I might have to hurt you. For your own good, you understand.
