Oh I like to argue that gameplay isn't subjective. I also have one of the worst moderation reputations on this site. Go figure why the site has therefore ended up as the site you describe. |
If gameplay isn't subjective than why do some people love GTA and others don't. Why do some prefer JRPGs to WRPGs? Why do some people like shooters and others only play slashers?
Now, with that said, a broken game is a broken game, that's not subjective. Just like bad acting is bad acting. But a game with perfectly playable gameplay can be enjoyed by one person and found boring by another. Just like a good drama can be riveting to one persona and put someone else to sleep.
Gameplay design is just as subjective as sound and art design are. For example I don't like button mashers like God of War. The gameplay just doesn't appeal to me. I don't think the God of War games are garbage just because I don't enjoy them. The gameplay is top quality for people who like button mashers. I just don't like button mashers.
