@Kasz, I Know religion was a bad example, i'll try a different one. Someone may think that Haze is a great game , Because they genuinely believe , of course it is opinion. My opinion of Haze is that is a bad game. This is not backed up by facts, but opinions of Reviewers and fellow reviewers. No opinion is right OR wrong (Of course an opinion could be Morally wrong) But an opinion Cannot be factually wrong because opinions are not based on definite answers. Both Opionions are of equal Validity and therefore even if your opinion is in the Majority, it should be stated that it is clearly opinion. (Especially after saying to the Minority to do such a thing)

I disagree for many reasons...

The primary being this... for what you claim to be true this would have to suggest that all quality is relative and there is no such this as abject quality.

This is not the case however, this wasn't the case we wouldn't have reviewers.  Since there value would be of no use.

There is abject quality however.

 

I ment fellow Gamers not fellow Reviewers. Of course Something like games or films or Art, Something can be the most spectacular thing technically. Eg Crisis . Of course Technical quality can both be Factual and opinion.Like the CGI Effects , lighting effects etc, They are more a Factual quality. But the story for Example, That is entirely opinion of quality. Another example of quality that is opinion. We have all these Top 100 Music " shows, Of course the people who agree with the show regarding number 1 spot , are of course expressing opinion. Just as equal are the people who think number 100 on the show, is their number 1.

How can you claim this if the gamers agree with the developers and reviewers?

If a movie fan agrees with the movie critics, does that not show that they infact do know more about the genre. (assuming they arrived at it independently.)

It's easy to see impact on the medium and that's the easiest way to see what developers are good and ones who aren't.
