I don't think anyone here banned him.

Statements like this prove my point, dumbfuck.LlamaGod said:Subjective this, subjective that, it's a shitty game and you have shitty tastes.

You needed the article? Do you play games and are you literate? Anyone with half a brain could tell the gaming "journalists" are nothing but a bunch of immature slavering buttfuckers.Licaon_Kter said:since i've read this: The 5 Problems with Videogame Journalism i'm a little suspicious (sp?) about game reviews/reviewers.
See, that's the thing. I couldn't care less what you think about a game. I don't care what games you like better than others, which you judge to be higher quality, or even how you choose to define "RPG." I certainly wouldn't consider you an idiot for any of those opinions. People like you, on the other hand, are doing just that. If someone doesn't agree with your subjective assessment of an entertainment package, then they're ignorant / have mental problems / are children. That kind of view doesn't make you intelligent or elite. It makes you equivalent to intolerant backwater rednecks that demand echo chambers.LlamaGod said:Statements like this prove my point, dumbfuck.
Except that the purpose of a game is to provide entertainment, and the judgment of how well that game provides entertainment depends upon the person playing it. You can try to insert objectivity with things like comparative smoothness, loading times, quality of visuals (though that one's quite difficult with stylish games), but going beyond that is really stretching it. Interface? What's fluid and intuitive to some is frustrating and incomprehensible to others. Gameplay systems? What's sensible or ignorable or entertaining to some is annoying, nonsense, and unfun to others. Character creation that's deep and flexible to some is shallow and a waste of time to others.Role-Player said:A game can be judged as 'great' regardless of subjectivity or enjoyment, and based exclusively on objective analysis of its elements.

It's like judging music for purposes of entertainment rather than art. You can talk about how technically impressive an album is, but is it enjoyable to listen to? Did you find it inspired, catchy? Was it recycled? Does that even matter from an entertainment perspective? Taste plays a huge part here, too. Black metal fans would be likely to rip apart an album by Three Doors Down, even if it was a solid album for people who like that sort of thing.
Yep, that renders your post nonsense right there.Role-player said:Videogames, like other forms of art
