Same here! I will go into it optimistic as I've seen some of Gosling's more recent works that I really enjoyed. I already have friends who think it will be crap but I'll be there opening night. If you were to ask most millineals where Citizen Kane rates many would say, huh? Top anything lists are strongly influenced by the current audience. And that is exactly the reason-as I mentioned before-I am totally okay with the list.
#ALL TIME BEST MMORPG 2017 MOVIE#
And I also believe the special effects would only get old when the movie is about the special effects.Īnd regarding what said, yes I understand that. If that was the case we could've just shut down the world of criticism and weighed everything by their sales. Popularity, doesn't increase or decrease the quality. I tolerated Arrival and won't ever watch it again but I'll keep revisiting Metropolis every few years or so. Metropolis may very well be one of the best Scifi movies ever but I'll pop Blade Runner or Arrival into my BD player over it 99 times out of 100. Even more so, "best" is not really an objective measure even if we try our damndest to make it so. It's inevitable that modern context colors our perception of classics. However, as you say, watching a movie is not dependent upon a community of movie watchers, as is experiencing an MMORPG.
But movies also pull from contemporary society issues and values, so some of the value of Citizen Kane is lost in the context of the time in which is was created. Twenty years from now gamers will think of UO the way we think of Pong today. A movie you can just go rent, watch, and make an assessment. There is no way they can relate to UO on this list or even begin to understand why it's on the list. We have reached a point where gamers weren't born when UO released and were roughly three when it reached its heyday.
Unlike movies, games can only be experienced in the moment. While I agree with you in principle, the fact is a "best of" list has to also remain relevant. But when you say all time you don't replace lesser titles with better titles just because they are newer. Not that I got anything against this list though. So you think Avengers might at some point replace Citizen Kane on the best movies of all time then? We can't have the same MMOs on every single list over and over, specially when your nostalgia in interfering with your concepts of a "good" MMO. A lot of you guys don't understand that this list is for 2017, not 2009.
