>>82724868I'm going to be honest here, although I don't disagree with the last statement of " when, in fact, the original trumps Z in every single department", but fuck off there with "fact", that's your opinion you're projecting there, you're effectively comparing Z like Super Mario 3D World to Super Mario Bros 1.
Whether or not you may like or hate SMB1 and think SM3DW is the best game ever (just an example here), you're putting Z on a pedistle of the same standard of the original (SM3DW), when the original (SM3DW) has years of experience, time and effort, and trial and errors under it's belt that makes it beloved by many just from years of exposure you can feel from how far it's come (all the content in SM3DW).
While Z (SMB1) at the time was new, interesting, and to some, great experience to endure, although doesn't really have much after you've seen what came after (what PPG had over Z). That's the comparison you're making (and many others here), and the main reason everyone hates something from once it came. Comparing to what you've liked before makings you put down the qualities PPGZ has thanks to the original. Whether or not you think so, that's a problem, it's unfair in the grand scheme of things. I highly doubt every single person thought (PPG is the shit! Such a hit show!) when Whoopass Stew became a thing, right?
