Quality isn't entirely subjective. I don't have to play Aliens: Colonial Marines to say Bioshock Infinite is better, do I?


In essence, quality is subjective since the quality of a game depends upon it's ability to entertain others; and standards for entertainment are different for certain individuals. However, if you and another person can agree to a set of fundamental truths about what defines quality (games with deep gameplay mechanics are better than those with shallow mechanics, etc), then you might be able to deductively prove a game's objective quality in comparison to another. But if those axioms cannot be agreed upon, then it's just pure opinion.
