I think the use of the word "ever" should only be allowed when the word "I" and "play" are involved in there too.
Allowable: Uncharted 2 is the best game that I have ever played. (See the I, play and ever?)
Not allowable: Carnival Games is the best game ever (though, that isn't just because of the missing I and play... :P)

Why?

If i say

MGS4 IS THE BEST GAME EVER

As I am posting that its only logical that its my opinion.

 

Just because you are posting, doesn't mean it is opinion.

Naughty Dog developed Uncharted 2 for PlayStation 3.

^ Is that opinion because I posted it, or fact?

GreyianStorm, your logic needs some tending to. It is not possible for a game to truthfully be the best game ever. There is no way to decide which game is best other than by opinion. So if someone says, X game is the the best ever, they are basically saying that it is their opinion because it cannot be a fact. Saying a game is the best ever can only be said as an opinion. Saying Naughty Dog developed Uncharted 2 can only be stated as a fact. You argument is the worst.................ever.

What you're missing completely is that there are plenty of people who say it not as opinion, but as fact. Just because someone is posting, doesn't mean it is their opinion. There are plenty of times when people say that game A can not be the best game ever. That isn't opinion, they are telling other people they are wrong, as if it is fact that such and such a game can't be best.
