Though I hardly ever agree with his reviews. I love how you all flame on him for having an: OPINION.

There comes a point where opinion is wrong, this is the difference between a bad and a good reviewer, being able to put aside your personal likes and dislikes and judging a game on what it is.

How can a a person's subjective experience with a videogame be factually incorrect? I think inFamous is a piece of shit, for example, and I'm sure that relegates me to the minority, but it doesn't make me wrong in any way.

I don't think that's possible. "What it is" implies that there is a correct answer, but no matter how unbiased a person thinks they are being while reviewing a game, the entire review is still based on their own personal and subjective experience.

Seece it right, opinions can only go so far, we can't always just sit back and accept opinions for what they are.

Because you personally disagree with them?

What if I said that I refuse to accept the opinion that inFamous is a good game?

Then I wouldn't really care, it's one of those love or hate games, I personally can't see what's so good about it either. I'm not calling it bad, but it's not something I'm going to spend lots of time on.

Anyway, I think it is fine for you to ridicule another persons opinion, especially when you have a stronger argument than they do.
