i do like the eventual future of buying a game and just being able to stream it when your out and about and continuing when you get home on your console at least for jrpg’s i have a hard to imagining streaming ever being viable for fighting games beyond an arcade run or something. of course id be more excited if i didn’t work 12 hour shifts with two 20 min breaks. im always a little blowed when you hear people talk about they wish persona 5 was portable so they could play it during downtime at work i wonder what these people do or how much free time they have at work to even make a dent in a 70 plus hour jrpg at work.
Opinion 1: Death Stranding is long winded and shallow in its plot and the antithesis of fun in its gameplay. Kojima is a hack.
Opinion 2: Death Stranding is the highest form of art video games can aspire to be and is filled with apt social commentary about our present and future. Kojima is a genius.
Me: Can Death Stranding be removed from conversation now?

Death Stranding in a nutshell.
Just add in both sides telling the other they’re wrong cause they don’t understand, it’s not meant for them or Kojima shill.

Whose said that?
I’m not. I’m genuinely trying to understand why you and gasarki are saying people aren’t allowed to haves firm statements about something but can’t really share them if they’re negative because they’re “subjective”
That’s not what I said AT ALL stuart. It’s just STUPID to give out objective judgments on something based on your subjective taste. I have absolutely no issue with anyone disliking anything based on their subjective tastes.
The problem is when they conflate that that dislike or distaste with the actual quality of the thing being talked about.
It’s the difference between saying “I don’t think that looks fun at all” and “that thing is bad.” One is stating your own opinion and the other is judging the quality of the thing. How can you judge the quality of the thing if you haven’t actually used or interacted with it in it’s intended manner

The its not meant for you was used here quite a bit. More a jab at DS reception on the whole with how both sides attack each other on reddit or review comment sections etc.
So if I objectively feel a horrible game is awesome is that stupid? Because it’s clearly something awful
That’s still your feelings. That’s fine. The issue is when you JUDGE the actual objective quality of the game based on your feelings.
I don’t understand how you’re not understanding what I’m saying.
It’s not stupid to like or dislike anything. It’s stupid to give objective judgements on something based only on subjective feelings.
Well that’s not what I or Gasa have said so go back and reread our posts, i am tired of repeating myself, personally. Maybe Gasa will ride this Merry Go Round with you some more.
I have. Several times. It just comes off as
“You can say something about this. But not like that.”
It feels like everyone is just talking in circles. So there’s no point in continuing this discussion. Since all these opinions are subjective anyways. 
So moving on:
Too many fuckin snowflakes getting their feelers hurt when someone shits on a game they like

That goes for any medium or anything ever. No one really likes to acknowledge let alone hear the negatives about it.

Sure does. Movies are another big one. And music. I’ve learned to accept that I have my own taste. You don’t like Phish? Okay. I’ll even make fun of them with you. Still my favorite band.
You don’t like TLJ? Okay. I still love it, but I’m okay with clowning on it too.
Whatever. Whether you played a game or not, your opinion of it is still just that. Your Opinion. And, just like assholes, we all have one, and they all shit and fart. Or something. What the fuck.

I challenge you to find a single flaw in Martin Scorsese’s Casino.
You can’t because it is perfect.

Its has terrible pacing and the characters are 2d.
Every scene serves a purpose and doesn’t overstay its welcome. The characters have a historical basis which is extensively explored in this cinematic masterpiece.
This is me with all the foreign music like European metal, Korean Pop, J-Rock and others that I listen to. Some of them are some of my legit favorite bands but I’ll happily clown on them cause some of it is just dumb and silly af.
Even when I tell people about the story that takes place across all on Coheed and Cambria’s albums (my favorite band of all time) I have no issues stating how fucking over the top, nonsensical and bat shit ridiculous it is.
Yeah. My favorite movie is A Death to Smoochy. It’s a black comedy directed by Danny DeVito. Its starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton and Jon Stewart. I think it’s one of the most funniest and most creative dark comedies ever. But I know why it didn’t sell well and why it was universally panned. I have no issues pointing out it’s fault.
