I think it's simply that many people do not know how to present their opinions in an accurate, mature, and less combative manner. When presenting an opinion, it is important to reinforce its subjectivity through your sentence structure, such as "I did not like the game because I struggled with the camera angles and controls", because using the pronoun "I", owning up to why you couldn't enjoy the game, and offering more specific examples will usually make other people accept your opinion, even if they don't agree with it.

However, the more usual expression of opinions on the internet is usually, "This game sucks, the gameplay was terrible," which, even though conveys a similar experience to the opinion above, is attributing it to the game instead of owning up to your own subjectivity. Often people will add an "In my opinion" and then proceed to say, "The game sucks", which doesn't really change the fact that you're expressing the opinion in a poor manner.
