Why can people who play games not notice things are subjective?


Just because a game gets a ****ty score doesn't mean there wont be people who think its a good game.

Just because a game gets a good score doesn't mean there wont be people who think its a flaming pile of crap.

The online play is semantics, and requires no arguing whatsoever. Yes, every game would get a different score without online play, but we'll never know that score, will we? So what do we gain in guessing?

Arguing over personal opinion on who likes what games is like arguing over the flavour of purple.

Seriously, all of you need to give it up. Games are games. They're subjective. Most of you say you know that, yet you go on carrying these types of arguments and descussions that get you nowhere.

I think reviews are pure crap as it is. I dont want someone else telling me how much I'll like a game. If a game interests me, I'll tell myself how much I like the game.

And by the way, who cares how long it was in development for? Seriously. So what. The point is its done. You can buy it, you can play it. Let it go. By saying its bad because it ws in development for so long is a weak argument and is just grabbing straws.

PS. None of the above statements were directed at any specific people, nor were they based solely on this forum alone.

Just stop, Sean. Every single line of your post pisses me off. And this comment isn't directed at anyone inparticular.

Look what you've done, Professor S. Are you happy?

edit: Well let's just fan this fire more.

Well you missed my point completely. I proposed Halo 2 only received such high scores mostly BECAUSE of online play. Everybody agrees that the story just sucked because it was rushed and included an extremely dumb cliffhanger. Also, the "pop-in" graphics didn't help, nor did the arbiter levels, which a lot of people also complained about. Having all of these faults in mind, was the gameplay really that great without online gameplay?

If Gamespot likes PD0 so much, is the liking of the online gameplay to the same degree? Such is the point of stripping off the online play out of the final score, to find out what the gameplay would score. I agree, you can't strip a game apart like that, but it's a useful tool to determine its quality in bits and pieces.

QED.

Well you missed my point completely.

I told you, nothing was directed specifically at anyone. And I meant it. Like I said in the PM (I'm saying this here, so I dont have to say it 5 more times in seperate PM's or posts ) if I wanted to aim anything at anyone, I would have specifically done so, like I normally do.

I didnt say that part because you made a post on it, it was a general distaste and confusion I have gathered from a collective of other forums where people argue on for pages about online play.

Why even post all that crap in the first place. It's circular to think those statements will end anything.

If you want to delete it, and this, I'll leave that to your discretion whether to gut it, or clear it.

For I do not care.

But it would be wise to delete this post as well.

No, I'm going to leave it.

This thread was doomed from the time Bond typed "Perfect Dark Zero" in the thread title.

I'm ****ing ECSTATIC! Look at this thread! We've actually got a 4 page thread going about a LAUNCH GAME for a NEXT GEN CONSOLE that just LAUNCHED. The fact that there weren't more and longer threads is an embarassment to this entire website. This is GAMEtavern, not NINTENDOtavern. I'm a little tired of digging up information about the 360 for no one to care about, and I'm not the only one who was.

So Bond decided to stoke the flames a little and I recognized what he was doing and joined right in. It worked GREAT! Now we have members actually looking up info on Xbox360 games and comparing scores. True, they're looking for bad information to support their pre-ordained beliefs, but like an emotionally abandoned child, I'll take bad attention for the 360 over no attention at all. Hell, we even got Xantar into the mix without directly bringing up Nintendo or politics!

Mission accomplished! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

/me goes back to his hidden lair and hi-5's Bond, then begins to concoct his next nefarious scheme... targeted at Gamemaster, of course.
