People. Saying a version of game or whatever is superior to another implies it it better by a wide margin. "Slighty superior" is not an oxymoron, but such a poor choice of diction. Superior should not be used when saying something is slightly better, etc. Only when the margin is much greater. Because it's just getting sickening when people call one of two games which look exactly the same to the normal eye superior.

He could be talking about Darksiders.
The Darksiders looks exactly the same on both platforms. I think eurogamer did a tech breakdown and they said the colors are washed out on ps3, etc. while the 360 framerate jitters a tad more...but who cares? No one is actually noticing any of this. Same applies to Assassin's Creed 2.
I agree,for the most part. Sure,if there are major differences between versions,it's a big deal,but debating over which version is superior based on tiny little differences that are barely noticeable is a bit silly.
Superior: 1higher in status, quality, or power.2of high standard or quality.3(superior to) above yielding to or being influenced by.
Where is the wide margin part?
What's the difference between big and huge? It's connotation. Superior denotes a large gap. Nope, it denotes higher in quality. Oh why did I even try. Trying to get this forum to acknowledge diction is like teaching a cat to talk. Impossible.
Don't even try to correct grammar here. I argued at length about the word "ferior" as an antonym to inferior. People here just latch on to words like "subjective", "superior" and "cell (:P)" so that they sound intelligent.

Nope, it denotes higher in quality. Oh why did I even try. Trying to get this forum to acknowledge diction is like teaching a cat to talk. Impossible. Personally, I have more issue with using the term "mediocre" as a synonym for "terrible".

Fragile-breakable. All mean the same. Sure... lord. Using racial hatred here, did the KKK declare themselves the better race? No, they declared themself the superior race.
Superior, adjective, to notice any subtle difference in your preferred gaming systems game versionand claim major eye gouging unplayable graphic ownagebetween two systems. "Geesh I guess I'm buying the superior version of Madden on (blank) console, since I don't have the other console." Superior goes hand in hand with Fact, since both are absolute opinions that are passed as truth by Fanboys.
I've noticed the trend that lemmings used this term more often than cows, but slowly cows are fighting back for the words ownership by claiming superior games line up.

I couldn't agree more. This splitting hairs is silly. I was watching an ign comparison of 360 vs ps3 and I couldn't have cared less about the graphical comparison on most of the games in the article. I guess, frozen in time, and studied I could tell a difference but when playing I just want to enjoy myself and couldn't care less.
