I have to respectfully disagree with your posts in this thread. I think your take -- that the E3 "winner" is the one whose brand and stock rises the most -- is totally valid. But it's not the one and true definition of "winner". This isn't a baseball game, where the team with the highest score is the winner. This is all subjective. I think, in general, you're trying to make the conversation about video games objective and "neutral", which is totally admirable, but in my opinion something of a lost cause. When we approach things like art, objectivity largely goes out the window. Sure, we can measure frames per second and resolution, but can we assign an objective value to those things? Some people care more about graphics than others. In your posts you mention a "great game" and a "great movie", but who decides what is great? Again, with art, it's subjective. I think taking bias -- meaning an unfair prejudice -- out of the equation is a noble and achievable goal, but taking subjectivity out is simply impossible. Anyway, I do appreciate your enthusiasm on this topic and your contributions to this site in general. But I feel very strongly about this topic, and wanted to leave my two cents :) |
I mostly agree with you, but there actually are ways to make this topic objective. You can do things like make a poll (which the topic creator did). Each individuals opinion is subjective, but when you tally the results, then you can say, "most people preferred this", and that is an objectively true statement.
Basically, "I think this is the best" is always a subjective viewpoint, but "the group prefers this" actually is objective. Of course, to know what the group prefers you have to ask the whole group though.
