[QUOTE="JPOBS"][QUOTE="---OkeyDokey---"][QUOTE="JPOBS"][QUOTE="---OkeyDokey---"] nope, but no game after it deserved to be called the best ever. none were as godly asOOT was for its time.

but to be the best ever wouldnt that mean it would have to be better than any thing before or after it for...wel...forever?
what do you think deserves to be infront of ocarina of time? what other game was so revolutionary, so amazing, that it influenced everything that came after it and truly showed what was possible with 3d gaming?
it doesnt matter what is in front of OoT on gamerankings list because the list is a broken PoS to begin with. How the hell can you say with any certainty that OoT is better than Metroid prime (over 100 reviews and still so close) when OoT only had 29 reviews? To be truthful, the GR list is just a compilations of reviews which makes it very broken for discussing "best ever" because there isnt even so much as a standard review number. the system isnt even operationalized.
secondly, i just have a gripe with the term "best ever" in general because there's no such thing as "ever" in a continually evolving media, especially one where old models get outdated, replaced and improved such as gaming.
He can say that because Metroid Prime even though it was and still is a masterpiece didn't do as much to the industry as OoT did. Another fact is because it managed to nail every single thing a game should do and still hold upp today unlike other old ****cs such as Perfect Dark and Halo CE which have aged a LOT worse.
Look at The Good The Bad The Ugly ( a movie ) it's not the western with the biggest kill count, special effects or whatnot but it's still regarded as one of the best movies of all time and still ranked high on the list on IMDB even though the movie buiz is evolving.
Another flawed thing however with GR is that most of the Nes-Snes-N64-PS1 came out when internet review sites wasn't around which makes it impossible for Super Metroid or Super Mario Bros 3 to get ranked fairly. The list would contain a lot more Snes titles if it was completely fair. FFIII-FFVI, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and A Link To The Past etc.
