Many people consider Sonic The Hedgehog 06 one of the worst games ever, and I enjoyed that game very much. I even thought it had a good story, while other people thought the story was horrible. You would have to be a complete idiot to have a different opinion than the majority? I have played none of those games, so I can't say anything about them, but a review is ultimately that persons opinion. If I reviewed Sonic the hedgehog 06, based off my experience, I would probably give it a high score, even though almost everyone gives it a low score. How is it wrong for someone to have a different opinion than yours? How are you so offended that he didn't think what you thought was a great game was a great game?

Also, who are you to dictate whether /u/bajanorth enjoyed PlayStation-exclusive games, or whether he believes Darksouls 2 is a good game? does he not get to have his own opinion just because it differs from your opinion, or the popular opinion? Even if I played those games, and enjoyed them, and thought they were great, I would respect that he thought they were bad games. To me it seems very disrespectful to demand someone take down their review, or even worse, give them threats for a review, just because they disagree with their opinion. He was legitimately commenting on the game, and legitimately didn't enjoy it. Props to him for sharing his unpopular opinion.

There's a fine line between being critical of a game for its faults and calling it "the worst game ever". How can something that has received such critical acclaim while at the same time becoming such a commercial success be "the worst game ever"? What exactly is he comparing it to? I can think of several games which were received far worse than DS3. It's just patently false to attempt to label it as such.

A reviewer should at least try to remain objective even though whether or not you personally like a game is subjective. It's clear this guy is not even a little objective, and that his opinions don't seem to mirror reality.

Whether or not a game is "The worst game ever" is subjective. To him, it could be the worst game ever. Being "The worst game ever" or "the best game ever" is completely subjective, and is an opinion. It is the same as listing it on your personal top 10 list. Top 10 lists are always subjective, bottom 10 lists are always subjective. "the worst game ever" is always subjective. To him, it could be the worst game ever. To him, the story could be horrible. To him, the game-play could be horrible. It could very well be the worst game ever to him. It could be right at the bottom of the top 10 worst games to him. There is nothing to be objective about in a review, a review is your opinion, and what you personally (subjectively) have to say about it.

Outsider here, but I do not think a game being "playstation exclusive" is valid criteria for judging the quality of a game. Movies arent rated by which movie theatres show them. The same applies to the console.

The only way this criticism would be valid is if the aruguement was made that because its a PS exclusive the game is hindered by hardware limitations.

Otherwise the criticism should be directed towards the publisher or the platform. A good game is a good game no matter what system runs it.

He isn't saying they are bad because they are PlayStation exclusive, he just hasn't thought much of the PlayStation exclusive games he has played.
