I won’t even dream of calling THE PRIME TRILOGY underappreciated. But there is no doubt that it hurts the message and intent of the piece of art in general, which is absolutely not conducive to the people who created it and the reasoning behind why they did it. So the way most things are perceived on the basis of the exactly how much they did or didn’t piss fanboys off and not really on actual merit.Īnd this ritual of narrative forming oft devalues great creative and artistic endeavors and damages their reputation over time, with no concrete guarantees of a sure shot re-appraisal down the line. And since its’ inhabited in many of its’ corners by bitter, angry, temperamental loners who constantly need validation, group-think becomes a completely normal way of approaching things. It’s a place where the line between truth and fiction oft becomes blurred and subjectivity of opinion is treated as a crutch to insult each other and rush to judgement. One that is steeped in anger, holds grudges, throws tantrums and has a very, very short term memory. (BIOWARE).īut the internet is an odd mistress. And hey, they even nailed their trilogy closer, unlike a once-great Canadian RPG developer that will go unnamed here. If there are three games successively produced by a company in a franchise that are so consistently this incredible, then I haven’t played them.
And to be fair, have a legitimate claim of being the greatest game trilogy period. Nintendo and Retro studio’s METROID PRIME TRILOGY is rightfully regarded as one of the best gaming trilogies in history.
