OB1. Okay. Now... try to think about this some more. Then admit to yourself the obvious fact that the rest of us can so plainly see: Once again, you are acting like your opinion, which is in a very small minority of the opinions of people who like these games, is not just dominant but the only correct one.
Now... if reviews, gaming websites, other people here, etc. ALSO expressed the opinion that F-Zero X blows away the rest of its contempraries, this would be very different... but far from doing that, they do pretty much the opposite.
I'm afraid that you won't find much support here or anywhere for the idea that F-Zero is somehow by dramatic amounts better than the rest of the subgenre its in. That's because its not an opinion that most people share! Sure, lots of people think F-Zero X is really great... but many/most of them like other futuristic racers are nearly as good or maybe in some cases better. That is quite clear based on reviews I have read from both IGN and Gamespot...
Just like Oni, you take a decidedly tiny minority viewpoint and make it sound like it is the vast majority and the rest of the world is silly and stupidly wrong.
I am not sorry to say that that viewpoint of yours is horribly inaccurate.
Oh, its fine as YOUR viewpoint... but its not fine to say that its the only viewpoint that people who think about it would take, because its so clearly not! Its a mix of opinion and biases... yours mix in some strange ways it is clear, and we get this as a result.
I try to only say that games that are actually BAD are bad... ones that I can tell are good but aren't really my thing I state as such. You mix those two dramatically different categories so completely that it becomes impossible to sort them out... which results in very bad things for people trying to talk about those games with you, since you absolutely refuse to seperate those two polar opposite categories!
Dethkarz is an example of a good futuristic racing game that just isn't my thing. Do I find it frusterating and not too fun? Yeah. But is it "bad"? No. You, I'm sure, in my position would say it is and that anyone who likes it is stupid... which is wrong, of course, but you'll never admit to it. Only games the great OB1 likes can be on any good games list!
