There are a few inconsistencies with your example.
1. It's blatantly obvious that Monkies are from Earth.
2. Of course he can be told he's wrong because it's a fact that monkies are from Earth. Hardly leaves room to assess an opinion. Only a retard would do so yes.
Here's a better example: someone says "WELL IN MY OPINION GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE 6000 YEARS AGO AND EVOLUTION IS FAKE." Obviously, millions of people still believe this and hold such an opinion, even though they're wrong.
but as for critically-acclaimed games being "likely" to be good. That all depends on the consumer buying the game. Not everyone is going to like what a critic is going to like.
I know. That's why I used the qualifier "likely." Likely != every.
Unless their is an international poll held about which games fan think are the best then it's still up in the air as to which games are truly quality.
Then I guess marketing/advertising is completely pointless then.
I think you're pulling random facts out of your arse for the convenience of making your over-priced bluray player look superior.
I think you don't know how to post a good counter-debate and that "over-priced blu-ray player" is an incredbily stupid simplification.
By the way, you are officially a fanboy, fighting so hard to prove your opinions. Fail, fail, fail.
By your own logic, you're officially a fanboy by trying so hard to make me look wrong and going "WELL DEM PS3S ARE GEWD BUT I LIKE MAH 360S BETTER SO THERE." Herp, derp, herp.
Opinions are flawed in themselves if they aren't proven to be indisputable fact?
No, opinions are flawed when they're not logically backed up.
Can you literally prove that every gamer on the planet views the games you listed as "quality" titles?
If you mean can I prove that every gamer on the planet likes those games, then no, I cannot, because every gamer probably isn't going to like them.
But even though they don't like them doesn't change the fact that they are quality titles, i.e. their design principles are well-implemented, the games are well-tested and thus relatively bug free, the camera isn't wonky/uncontrollable, the programming is organized and logical, the art demonstrates skill and technique, etc. It would be retarded to argue that those elements are all "subjective."
No, then it's your opinion regardless of how much you try to twist and misconstrue "critically acclaimed".
No, then it shows that not every gamer is as analytical as they should be.
