yeah, but they're modern-day classics.

That is highly debatable.

Okay, well they're not all classics, but a good portion of them are.

Not to me.

[Nate DaZombie]

how many of them have you played?

[ChickenSoup]

yeah, but they're modern-day classics.

That is highly debatable.

Actually, there's a lot of games on there that will most likely be considered classic.

Games don't have to be 2-D to be classics.

You come from a different generation. What you consider classic music wouldn't be classic to my grandparents, right? Pick your battles, man.

Games don't have to be 2-D to be classics

This.

[FamilyFriendlyGaming]

Fifteen of them.

We are going to have to agree to disagree soup.

You seriously don't think that Ocarina of Time or Knights of the Old Republic will be classics? I'd also consider Pokemon Red/Blue to be [future] classics, along with Halo CE (if only for the fact that it was the start of a hugely popular franchise), Super Mario World (Hey, it's even 2D...), and Chrono Trigger (that's already almost there in the "classic" category age-wise)

Remember, I'm not saying they're old enough to be truly classic yet. I'm saying they will be in the future.

ChickenSoup,

That is another area we are going to disagree.

It all depends on the definition of what is being used to describe a classic game. Have you noticed any media outlets have the exact same top 100 game list? How about top 10? Why not? They are using different criteria.

Do they use sales? Game play hours? Ones that got their flesh all stirred up? Was it innovation? Was it unique? Did they throw darts at a dartboard?

You have to remember I apply God's standard to the definition of a good video game. Which is why many of the games on that list do not make into the definition of a classic for me. Most of the games on that list bring up negative connotations for me, not positive ones.

You are right that many of them started trends.

If you want to consider them classics, then by all means. I am not trying to force you to change that opinion.

So wait, by that standard, what games do you consider classics?
