Stop.

Still, because you can't judge anything that appeal to your sensibility objectively anyway, it just means that calling something "bad" is OK. Since it's necessarily a subjective statement. There are absolutely no differences between saying "This is bad" and "I think this is bad". It's just expressing your subjective opinion.

The only "objective" data you can give about a game is its framerate, the number of polygons used for models, and so forth.
You can establish comparisons using this, but that's about it.

"Consensuses" are not objective data. And
there isn't anything wrong with that, except for faggots like you who denature the meaning of the word because you think that if everyone agrees to something, it makes it magically "objective" and thus more of a solid argument.

I have played it (for a few minutes before it crashed) It was awful. It's my opinion, and thus subjective.

If someone played it and found it good, it would be his opinion, and thus subjective.

We could exchange ideas about that. I would probably be able to convince him that the game is actually not good. I could show him games I feel are better. He would probably agree with me.

Everything about this is subjective. I really fail why you see a problem here.

So? I never said you couldn't judge something. I'm just saying that judging the quality and enjoyment you get out of something as a "person" is necessarily subjective.
There is nothing wrong with that.

Also, do you realize that the stuff you mentioned is part objective, part subjective? You can actually prove from analysis that the controls are wonky or that there are a lot of glitches. Programs can do that. However, they can't prove that the story is bullshit or that the mechanics suck.

Of course not. I should have been clearer. If you kill someone to save them from a slow death or worse fate because it's all you can do in your power, then that can be accepted and forgiven. If you kill someone who has chosen to die, then that can be understood. But if you kill someone in cold blood for literally no reason, or personal gain or pleasure, then that does make you a beast.

Good Performance is actually the most important thing. It need to function properly for it to be a good game. Controls are 2nd. If you can't control it, it's objectively a bad game. Gameplay is more subjective than these two, but things like heavy amounts of microtransactions are generally seen as bad.

Here's something you need to understand:

You can enjoy a game that is bad

You don't have to 'prove' to anyone that your game is good and worth enjoying. Have fun with it. If you can put up with a game where half of the highly touted features didn't work at launch, and another fourth of which got taken out in 'patches', then good on you.

But trying to make it seem perfect and without flaw by appealing to subjectivity just makes you look stupid.

I enjoy bad movies. I understand they are bad movies, but I still find myself enjoying them.

I've enjoyed bad games. I understood why they were bad, but they were fun to me! (TOR, Civ 5 (at release))

The idea that 'if I enjoy it then it's good because subjectivity!' needs to die, though.

>>337230442

Brainwashed PCuck detected.

The most important thing in a game is that there is no one most important thing. Some games solely rely on gameplay and are good, some games have shit gameplay but are good because of the characters, writing and atmosphere. Some games require 60fps in order to be even playable. Some games become timeless classics despite running at 320p 20fps.

There is no ONE thing. Generally speaking a game is good when people who worked on it put their soul in it.

Language, morality, etc, things that you can argue about, things we do cooperatively to create a functioning society are purely conventional, used as a purpose of convention. As a tool to convene.

Something is purely conventional, something you don't need to worry about taking seriously.

What we don't all want to admit is that we're all a little sly and out for ourselves, so we have to pretend we're selfless pillars of morality that only desire the best for society and the world, when in reality we'd rather convene with people in the sense of just peacefully getting along with everyone while we leave ourselves to our own devices.

But some people really can't drop that, they keep forgetting what game it is they're playing and continue through the motions until they take the mindset of an authoritarian dictator that has some belief of objectivity or whatever.

Just come off it every once in awhile and remember what you really are.

Nobody claimed PCMR standards of peroframnce is what matters fuckhead. Every game is technically playable if it can't reach 60fps and just hits 30. We're talking about sub-10fps and constant crashing, so fuck off with your OoT memes and technical standards from 1995. A literally unplayable game is a shit game no matter how much you want to bring your console war memes into this.

Also there are plenty of shit games that the developers put their soul into. For every Deadly Premonition there are hundreads if not thousands of low quality indie games and kusoge made by untalanted people working at the best of their ability. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

It obviously depends on the genre. A MP shooter with random spread and awful maps is a poorly designed shooter. This is obvious from the gameplay that can't get flowing because the characters are sitting around spraying inaccurately, the spawns are shitty, etc.

A game with fantasy action is shallow if the combat is only single button spam.

These are both evidence of games that play poorly because of their design -- that's evidence. The opposite can't be said about evidencing subjectivity -- it's just a claim to nothingness.

I agree that standards are ever evolving and with currenty technology 1995 standards are unaceptable, I just wanted to point out that such technical aspects are usually secondary if a game is good it will be good even if it runs like shit thereof, performance isn't the ONE AND ONLY CRITERIA FOR A GOOD GAME as you claimed.

This is your fault for making an assumption instead of reading the actual post.

You could say science and reason are objective, but there is subjectivity in the roots of science as well.

You can't objectively disprove solipsism, which is the disbelief in the existence of an outer world and the belief that the world exists in the mind of the solipsist.

Objectivity therefore is a foolish thing to look after. The scientific method tries to separate the elements of our existence into the purest forms possible, but this relies upon the subjective belief that the outer world exist.

I'm not a solipsist, but to say objectivity exists when you can't even prove that objectivity objectively exists, is stupid.

The one objective thing about life is that objectivity doesn't exist. Everything is relative and even if we ignore that those fundamental beliefs are beliefs, quantum physicists say that it's possible, but unlikely for things appearing out of thin air or disappearing.

Anything could happen at any time. It's all about the odds. Those odds are so small that we ignore them all together, but that just proves that belief in solipsism is no different from objectivity, except that objectivity can't prove itself.

I have a subjective belief that an outer world exists. Life is more convenient for me that way.

In your opinion.

You already admitted to making arguments in bad faith for the sake of testing your "skills" and now you're accusing ME of ignoring the truth and pulling out fallacies?

Oh I am laffin.

Also I love how relativst fuckwits try to shut down every counterargument by labeling them as subjective while regarding their own poorly formed opinions as "the truth".

And no retard, I'm disregarding your psuedointellectual rambling for the tripe that it is. Nobody, NOBODY will ever take you seriously. You lost from the very beggining of this argument. There is no save for you. Proceed and kys.

The common misconception with all three posts is that they claim there's no such thing as subjective taste, because everything falls under an objective good or bad. What I'm saying is that sentient beings and humans are the ones that decide what's bad or good.

I have a friend who only has 6 fingers. He can still play video games, but he's not as dexterous as someone with 10 fingers. Some control schemes are totally incompatible with his condition. Some games are bad for him to play, some games are good for him to play.

You could argue that those games are still "objectively good" or "objectively bad" because of the intentions of the developers, but does that mean that his feelings are totally meaningless because he's incapable of having the same experience as you, or do you unintentionally accept that subjectivity exists and that "author" intentions don't matter by counter arguing that "ohh there's also games that are objectively bad or good for people with 6 fingers"?

>>337235552
The nature of arguing for subjectivity is that the argument is beyond reason.

Lets take a page from Plato's cave metaphor. You're in a cave getting scared of your shadows. I'm outside on a hill and it's pleasant there. I come down to the cave and tell you "come out, it's cool at the hill". You always counter argue "If it's cool at the hill, why are you in the cave?". I'm here because I can't tell you why you shouldn't be here if I'm fucking not here.

This is a stupid thread as even if you could prove a game was badly designed and was shit overall, it is still perfectly possible for someone to love it like crazy.
In the end people are stupid and can have opinion over things proved to be against their beliefs.

You pretty much confirmed everything I've said. There's no reasoning with you and you're making arguments in bad faith for the sake of being contrarain.

>>337233432
Contrary to belief, science is about objectively disproving things. Even if your hypothesis is 100% objectively true, humanity could spend its entire lifetime testing that hypothesis, yet can never 100% absolutely and objectively true. There could always be one outlier which nobody discovered that shows the hypothesis to be false.

You could perform an infinite number of experiments and you will never ever objectively prove something to be true. However, it only takes the results of one experiment to prove something to be false.
>>
>>337236325
True, I'm just saying you can't stop them from having that opinion or stop them from thinking they are right.
Even then there can be a lot of factors that make a game appear as good outside of the game itself.

>>337236207
They all try to give an objective definition for a good game, or define the way how a game is good.

You got 2 idiots thinking about what makes a game good and 1 idiot thinking that because some psychologists narrowed down what makes a game "feel good", therefore there is an objective good.

Some people are masochists, pain is what they consider positive, while dopamine and the such are things that other people consider positive.

And nowhere in any of those posts did they claim that subjective taste does not exist. I know this might be a simple concept that you're struggling with to understand, but objective standards for good games and subjective taste are not mutually exclusive.

Because the thing that we base reason on is not objective.

There is no way to prove that an outer world outside of an individuals head exists or that the results of scientific tests can be trusted. We ignore that for the sake of convenience. Reason is ironically built on top of that ignorance, anything that exists on the subjective system of reason can be reasoned, but my argument that reason is subjective is beyond, or to be more accurate, beneath reason.

>Because the thing that we base reason on is not objective.
Not proven, especially not in the context of criticizing games.

I'm just saying imagine a circumstance where you're deemed the retard because everyone else sees your opinion, even if factually true, as wrong, and therefore your the retard that is disregarded.
Its scary to imagine a scenario where you can be right be deemed the retard because your the minority.
