Games you like that everyone hates

[PrettyNier]

I don't really believe in such a thing as having "good" or "bad" taste,

people that actually understand the mediums and human psychology and a vast myriad of other topics would disagree with you, hth

Melee's not better.

but it is, melee is a much better designed game.
melee actually bothered to be a game that people on multiple levels of skill can enjoy. a game with depth, a game that wasnt bloated, a game that could be engineered to be enjoyed based upon what the players were looking for; brawl is bloated and it lacks the kind of depth melee had and the way its mechanics are handled are actually counter-productive to the idea of having a game with depth. the random tripping, for example; as far as i know, it cant be turned off. it serves no purpose other than to introduce external obfuscations
etc.


you're free to enjoy brawl more, but melee is still a better-built game. sakurai himself has pretty much acknowledged that, although not quite in those terms



pretty much, people need to start seeing that preference and quality are legitimately different things
