>>321066237

My story is just to start the discussion. The point is in general, if you've played more games in the series and genre, your opinion should count more than someone who's only played a few right?

So why does it feel like that's not how it works in practice? How?

Another example. Someone who's played only skyrim saying its the best TES even though they never played oblivion/morrowind/etc.

The guy said he thought Infinite is great. Not having played the previous games shouldn't factor into it.

If this isn't bait, you're one of those people who always has to be "right". Infinite was the worst game in the series, but at the end of the day it's still a subjective opinion. Some people liked it more than previous entries.

>>I tell him that since I played all 3 I have both objective and subjective views for all of them and can make a fairer assessment

This is how a shitty person with mental issues thinks, can't even spot his own bias.

It doesn't work like that in practice because its generally accepted and taught that everyone is as capable of carrying and conducting an argument as everyone else and that logic is a near meaningless buzzword, when in reality there's science and theory behind arguments, how to prove truths objectively or how to construe logical necessities in arguments.

But if you told someone that they are not as qualified to conduct a discussion with the goal of finding an objective and logically necessarily true answer, they'd laugh at you because society in general does not give a shit about the intellectual arts, so you can ask them to put proof behind their arguments or name their premises or disprove your modus ponens all you want, they won't get it and won't respect it.

I don't have an emotional attachment to video games like you mental issue cringey weebs. If I love the shit out of a game, I know some people out there didn't, or they even hated it.

You just think "meh" and shrug it off, realizing your tastes differ.

Not everyone likes smooth jazz or new jack swing, but some people love that awful shit.

At the end of the day your complaints show how sheltered you were growing up, inability to accept differing opinions to yours. You grew up always 'needing' to have your way and you didn't develop a healthy response to other people liking other shit, similar to an only child.

It's not a bias though. It's objectively having more info.

Let's say we assign values a b c for the knowledge and experience of a game

So for game 1, the value after playing the game and having that experience and knowledge is A

So Game1 = A
Game 2 = B
Game 3 = C

Now let's assign a number values to them. All games are different but for simplicity sakez lets just say all games in this series are equal value in terms of the experience and knowledge, 1.

So A = B = C = 1

Now then, someone who's played all 3 games in a series:
A+B+C = 1+1+1 = 3
Someone who's only played the third one:
C = 1

So I now ask you, which is greater, 3 or 1?

It wouldn't bother me because my skin isn't that thin. I'd say that's cool, I disagree. If they start trying to justify it I'd just use my superior knowledge and intellect to tip their arguments into oblivion. Not sit there and talk about how much smarted I am than them for having played the other games and so they don't get to have an opinion.

Really, this thread gets under my skin because it's about who does and doesn't get to have an opinion about video games, and that shit is not VIDEO GAMES.

Actually, in this specific case, OP and his friend weren't having the same conversation.

OP was (presumably) interested in conducting a discussion with intent to discern an objective truth, irregardless of personal opinion.

There's no winning side and no one is "right", because truth is true regardless of how you feel about it, and often enough your point may be disproven, but through the culling of what turns out to be wrong you arrive at what is right. Both sides involved would use their knowledge to form logically sound points to argue varying points or disprove others.

His friend was having a "soft" conversation where you spout your opinion and that's that.

The two can be differentiated very simply by their sentence structure:

#1 goes "X is Y because Z". #2 goes "X is Y."
>>
>>321068348
It's because entertainment isn't actually important. No one care how knowledgeable you are about shit that doesn't contribute to anything other than entertainment.

You don't go into a job interview and tell them you love Bioshock and Anime. You tell them about actual skills you have.

That's why getting upset over entertainment is mocked.

No one gives a fuck.

Anyone talking or contruing this as opinions and me stifling theirs, needs to stop

This is about objectively having more knowledge and experience in a subject (in this case by playing more of the series) than the other person which should give you the higher credibility. But again, as I keep asking. It doesn't work this way. Why?

But if we're talking about truth in video games wouldn't we only arrive at what the video game actually is, and then one side or the other agrees that is what they like? There's no objective "this is a good/bad game" or is better than this one or that, there's just what we commonly accept to be good or bad. Nothing that can be observed in the physical world will tell you that it is or isn't.

Can someone give me an example of an objective evaluation of a game that doesn't just list its features?

But if you respect their opinion while dismantling all their arguments with your vastly superior knowledge, then you just became a model man and they can't do anything about it.

>>321068760
If you go with Aristotle, "what we commonly accept as good" simply... IS good.

A discussion to discern something like that would mostly include listing its features and evaluating them, their execution and their implementation aswell as how they synergize and interact.

Sounds an awful lot like a critical review, right? It really is. Because games are art, and as such would fall within the realm of Aesthetics when it comes to discerning their "worth" or "value".

Objectivity isn't as strong there, but the discussion in itself can still be conducted in a logical, structured manner that hopefully should lead to points both sides agree on that mark the game as good, with said points being logically sound and hard to refute in an argument as they've emerged from the rigors of this one, even with allowing room for personal taste involved in judging art. The execution of a certain piece of art, for example, can often be objectively judged. A song can be performed with or without missed notes as much as a sculpture can be roughly hewn or every chip perfect, or a game can have a lacking implementation of a feature or overall bugginess to it.

OP here, my thoughts exactly. I guess I wrote the story in a bad way that implied I was stifling opinions but my actual point was that.

You're not claiming to be presenting objective evidence that it is a 9/10 _in general_ or the best in the series you haven't played.

If you wanted to trigger or troll your phrasing shouldn't have included "to me". You clearly marked what kind of conversation you were having and what kind of statement you were making.

Why would that not be common sense?

Your friend was new to the series and made a mistake in assuming t was the "best" game. Whether or not e decides to play the previous games, he'll still hold them up to the standard he sees in Infinite.

Also, Bioshock 1 and 2 weren't amazing in terms of Gameplay, but they were more fleshed out and developed than infinite.

There's no point in ranking games in a series because different people look for different things in a game.

Maybe he just hasn't gotten around to it.

Either that or he doesn't want to play Morrowind because it looks like shit and hasn't aged well.

That's shallow, I know, but it's the reason why I haven't played Oblivion, that and the shitty combat.

It's a testament to how bad infinite was.

You can't say one thing is better than another unless you have actually looked into both things.

I can't objectively say that Coke is better than Squiggledoo because Squiggledoo doesn't exist. If it did and if Squiggledoo had awful flavoring, I could say that Coke tastes better than Squiggledoo. If you had tasted both, then you could disagree, but since I just made this whole thing up, you would OBJECTIVELY be a giant jackass.

People on /v/ think the first 3 Halo games were good now. Remember when the entire series was mocked for being babby's first FPS? Halo got the double whammy of CoD replacing it as the dudebro shooter du jour, AND 4 and 5 being made by a new studio who apparently fucked everything up.

In this case, you and OP are on the same footing for having the same experience and knowledge by having played the same games as him so you can now have an actual valid argument and it'll probably be good.

As for OP and his friends, they weren't on the same level at all, so no actual argument could be had. Just shitflinging which is what ensued.

I go out of my way to play as many video games as possible to at least the end of the single player mode on normal or higher difficulty. My backloggery says 700 completed.

Why don't more people do this?

It seems like everyone in my "gaming" circle plays one game for like a million hours and then goes on about how shit it is.

I think all three are equally good though. Not great amazing top tier godly games, but all good worth playing games. Each has its own flaws and advantages over the others. The only one I can legit I guess call the best is the Minerva's Den DLC since it's the only one where the story isn't tryhard nonsense.

As long as they eat brains they remain sentient and look like really pale people. If they start to starve they turn into the stereotypical shamblers.

Most zombies in the city are rich people who were turned and then blackmailed by the butcher shop zombies. They have to pay ridiculous sums of money for brains, or go out and murder for themselves and likely get caught. Some of the police are zombies too, which is why Major couldn't get them to investigate.

>>321077617
A zombie isn't determined by it's physical or mental merits but the fact that it's a reanimated corpse.

Godzilla 2014 was actually really, really cool over all, and is getting us two more movies and a Toho revival, so I'm going to respect the shit out of what it's accomplished regardless of its own merits anyhow.

>shitting on Pacific Rim

Also iZombie actually has some pretty good writing and drama, better than flash anyways. The show is a lot better than what you'd think just from initially hearing about it.

I love Flash but I'll admit it's not a very good show. iZombie is much better. The first episode is alright. You'll think Major is a pretty boy douche at first but he's one of the best characters on the show.

Young Kirsten dunst, is that you?

I tried it. Stupid procedural cop shit, and couldn't make a right choice to save her life, but at least the show punished her for her stupid moralfag reasons when dealing with a serial killer. So I will give it that, but I quit watching because I lost all earthly ties to that main character.

infinite was garbage

literally all you do in the game is walk around and shoot things. the maps look nice, sure. but when shooting things is 99% of the game and it gets repetitive as fuck after a few hours then you know the game was shit.

Friend of mine went to school with her. :) new Zealand is a small place!
Dunno why you care what people think about games you like other than hoping what you do like is popular enough to continue being made but not so popular that it gets dumbed down.
