Multiplayer games are only memorable for specific experiences a specific player might have had, which makes that pretty much impossible to judge, let alone award, objectively. Of course a good multiplayer game is bound to have a higher likelihood of creating memorable moments, but it's not like a single player game where you can be sure everyone will be talking about that thing, or that people remember the game for that experience. |
I think I'm known for not trying to "objectively" receive a game. If it makes me the laughing stock of VGChartz than so be it, that's just how I feel. I just don't see a good argument for how something can be objectively received. I try not to waste my time with what I consider smoke and mirrors, so my favorite game is the one i'm most likely to think is the best game. That's not to say i'm incapable of trying my hardest to be fair to games, but still I don't think of game reception like a literal fact vs fiction science. That being said, if you'd rather judge a game based on your idea of objectivity rather than your raw opinion on a game, that's your goal and that's fine. I just think if I was doing say, Splatoon 2 vs. Mario + Rabbids, I'd just say one is better than the other based on my perception and not some other standard.
