You don't know? Quality is measured by a bunch of gaming journalist. They tell you what a good game is. Whether you actually like the game is irrelevant. |
The best judge of quality is the individual . It would be absurd to argue that high selling games are the best quality one's , they only sell well because of their apeal ; of course quality can be part of the reason for a games apeal but that varies . Gaming journalists are only individuals giving their opinion , they might be more experienced or more convicing in their views but essentialy all they are doing is expressing their view.
But of course bias posters want to argue that X console has better games than Y and it would be pretty innefective to use their own opinion as a basis they use sales to assert that a game has quality , they use reviews to assert a game has quality when truthfuly the only real judge in the individual.
But for the sake of discussion we have to have some measurment , it would be messed up if person A said "this flash game I made in 5 mins is 10X better than MGS4 could ever be". Yes individual opinion is king but we like to compare , evaluate so we need as close to an objective measure of a quality games as we can get , that's why we use sales statistics and journalists opinions.
We shouldn't really use anything as law , at the end of the day we're right if we say it's not good and we're right if we say it isn't good ; gaming is like art.
