| Xeta said: Rpruett, graphics is not quantifiable unless you look at the specific elements that make it up. Does Crysis have a consistently higher polygon count/frame rate/resolution than Goldeneye? Yes, and that's quantifiable fact. Does Crysis have more detailed textures? Yes, and that is also quantifiable fact. Is Crysis more visually appealing than Goldeneye? To many it probably is, but there will be people who for various reasons will prefer Goldeneye (for instance, people who dislike realism). You are basing your arguments on assumptions that are actually unsound. Just like a higher polygon count does not ensure a game is more visually appealing than one with lower (as in, for everyone or even most people), high critical acclaim does not make a game "better" for everyone or even most people. Also, you seem to be confused as to what an "opinion" is. An opinion is, according to Merriam Webster Online Dictionary: 1 a: a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter b: approval , esteem
2 a: belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge b: a generally held view
3 a: a formal expression of judgment or advice by an expert b: the formal expression (as by a judge, court, or referee) of the legal reasons and principles upon which a legal decision is based
Nowhere in there is it said that opinions should, or even CAN, be proven with facts. In fact, since an opinion is "less strong than positive knowledge", as soon as you start searching for definitive truths you aren't dealing with opinions anymore. I ask that you at least stop asking for people to "prove their opinions" since that is ludicrous.

I'm searching for someone that is being remotely realistic and objective in a conversation not completely blind. LIke I said, I could make ludicrous arguments like Goldeneye > Crysis. I don't need definite truths, I'm just looking for some objectivity. No one is right or wrong with their opinion.
However, it's clear that in a majority of people's opinions the PS2 had a better lineup in it's first 27 months than the Nintendo Wii has. Including professionals of the industry.
