Meh, I can look passed the fanbase. I mean, we're all into our own things.

I also draw stuff. Here's some of it.

As for OOT, I think WW happens after Ganon defeats Link.

You know there's an official timeline now? They released it for the 25th aniversary of LOZ in 2011. I presume you knew that. I never knew about the "dead link" theory, that's weird!

I never red that, to buy a book just to knoww a timeline of the game is just...wierd. As for the theory, you should read it, it makes sense.

It tries to fuse linearity with exploration, but its idea of "linearity" is turning the player's body in a set direction and pushing them towards it, and its idea of "exploration" is level design that could not be explained by Nintendo Power, let alone intuition.

Contrary to the popular belief, I really disliked SA X chasing you across the levels, hard to escape to and overpowered for the most part of the game.

That doesnt mean they arent well made, theyre just repetitive.

They're the ones who put it on a huge pedestal.

LoL

I don't think it's actually talked about that much, but you're right at the same time because people still play it and only it 24/7.

Destiny is an overrated, derivative pile of shit that may as well be Borderlands with Halo paint on it. I played the beta when it was out and got bored within about 30 minutes.

Disagreed whole-heartedly, SMB 3 has far more variety than SMW. There are items in that game unique to only one or two stages in its entirety. SMW feels like they just started copy/pasting at a certain point. You can make a case about Mario 3 overusing the ship stages, but it's no worse than the ghost house levels in Mario World.

It obviously comes down to personal preference but, I don't think it's a matter of debate that the game itself isn't good. You cannot debate that SMB3 has good level design. That's pretty much solidified. You might not like the graphics or whatever (assuming that's your argument because you said "especially on the NES", when the all stars version just made it 16 bit in a way that I honestly found to be kind of lame) but give credit where it's due.

I'm curious, what about Mario World do you like more? (Not dissing your opinion or anything, everyone has their preference but I am challenging your argument that SMB3 is bad altogether.)
