I think it reflects worse on UK gamers than it does Mario 3D World. If they think Knack is better than it, then they have poor taste in gaming.


"people who are not like me are stupid"


No, people who think that Knack is better than Super Mario 3D World are stupid, at least in that opinion.  That seems fair.

"people who don't think like me are stupid"

Statement: "Transformers is better than The Godfather and Citizen Kane, combined!"

Normal response: Hey, that's a silly opinion and you should be called out for it.  Not every opinion is equal.

Somini response: "Hey man, that's just his opinion!  Back off."

In which world are opinions stupid? People are different. The sooner you learn that, the better.

In this world.  Isn't that the essence of argument?  If you can back up your opinion with facts and reason, then it's better than an unsupported opinion that few would agree with.  That doesn't mean it's 100% right or wrong, but it sure looks more convincing.

If I say, "Super Mario 3D World if better than Knack.  For example, it has a 94 on Metacritic, indicating universal praise, and Knack has a 55, indicating mixed to poor reviews.  This is based on not one critic, but of collection of scores.  Oh, and it's user score is 9.0 versus 6.5 for Knack, so it's not just critics who agree it's better."

And you say, "No, Knack is better cause I say so."

Which opinion is better?  Do you really think all opinions are equal?
