I had this debate with my friend for a good 30-45 minutes, since he decided that he wanted to buy Naughty Bear. I keep telling him how horrible the game is, but he insists that it is is fun, despite the fact that he's never played it, it's not successful and it has poor reception.
He says that the gamer's opinion has is all that matters and that no game is good nor bad because a game can't be good if there is one gamer that doesn't like it, like there can't be a bad game if there is one gamer who does like it. I disagree.
I believe that there is a standard for today's generation of console gaming (in terms of graphics, gameplay, sound and replayability) , and that any game below that standard and has poor reception and low success, then the game is, in fact bad. \
There a games like Modern Warfare 2 and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, both aimed at two different crowds. Both are good games, he believes that if one person dislikes each, then they are neither good or bad, because everyone has to like a game for it to be good. And everyone has to hate a game in order for it to be bad.
Any one care to share their opinion on the matter?
