Rambly: That's a good point about the inflation. That probably did have an effect, though it's hard to say how much.
As for the wording of 'better', I agree. When I say that something is objectively better, I do it with the assumption that people understand the context, but you are right, there are probably better ways of wording it.
The surface is similar, the depth is totally different... But if you have time some day, try to compare the same locations, like Kakariko or the market, to see how dead are in TP... TP lacks vital elements like the gossip stones or the ocarina also... it's obvious that you only can see the surface (aka graphics, controls, same locations...), so it will be a waste of time discussing it, I agree.
But don't say "objectively", because that simply isn't truth.
I fail to see how you think you would know that my personal, subjective opinion is based on the objective factors I mentioned in my post (protip: it isn't). I mean, just like most people on this board I have a special place in my heart for Ocarina of Time, and I'm not saying I think Twilight Princess is the superior Zelda experience. It sounds like to me that you're getting defensive, as if your personal opinion was somehow damaged or reduced because I said I thought the game has some very specific elements that are 'better', or more advanced if you will, when compared to Ocarina of Time.
I don't want to reduce this topic to a debate about the two games, and it's pointless, because you've misunderstood me from the start. I'm not saying Twilight Princess is better than Ocarina of Time, and I did not say anything to indicate that I only see 'the surface', as you so nicely put it (that was sarcasm, by the way). If there's anything that's obvious here, it is that you misunderstood a statement, somehow it offended you and now you don't know how to come up with a good reason as to why you'd bring your own opinion into a discussion about something that has absolutely nothing to do with opinions, and instead of just quitting you decided to give me some lame shit about how I only care about graphics or whatever. Bollocks.
And even now, after all that, I'm going to take you a little bit seriously. Because I agree, Kakariko is lifeless, Twilight Princess might not have gossip stones (though I fail to see how that matters), its story might be a little bit tired now, especially considering we got more or less the same thing in Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time is a milestone in gaming, it was truly a revolution. All I have tried to say here, is that Twilight Princess has the benefit of being a game made years after, on a more powerful system. It's got tighter controls, higher quality sound effects and music, and you can't argue that. Not when we're talking about objective facts. You can argue that you prefer the older controls, you might personally enjoy the compositions of the soundtrack from Ocarina of Time more than that of Twilight Princess despite their lower sound quality, but that's just not what I was talking about. Yet you're arguing with me as if I said that Twilight Princess is a subjectively better game. I know you know I didn't say that, because you specifically outlined the word 'objective' in my post when you replied.
Now, you can either try to understand what I'm trying to explain to you, or you can keep reducing your posts to silly little comebacks directed at me by saying something like 'you only care about the graphics boohoo'. That's fine, if you do that I won't bother to respond any further. Just know that I don't think you and I really disagree as much as you think.
