NO every game has objective reasons not "some" games.

By "some" games, I was intending to refer to games in which their validity as killer apps is in question or is up to consideration. Obviously, all games can become killer apps but only some are considered or expected to be killer apps by a large majority of the targeted audience.
It cant be objective if its up to someone's opinion.

I never said that it would be objective if it's up to someone's opinion. I said that some people's definition of a killer app may encompass statistical facts which can be interpreted as to whether or not a game is a killer app. The facts are objective but their interpretations, or whether or not they are used to determine if a game is a killer app in somone's definition, are not.
So you honestly think its possible for Hello Kitty Island Adventure could be a killer app.
sonic_rusher
Hello Kitty Island Adventure isn't an actual game, so no, I don't think it could become a killer app.
Opinion does not determine a killer app alone.
sonic_rusher
That's precisely what I said before in my last post, (which for some reason was disputed by you), but what defines a killer app is based on belief and objective, (or subjective) reasons that are interpreted to decide whether or not a game is a killer app, which is an opinion.
Killer apps dont vary from person to person,
sonic_rusher
People have different beliefs on what a killer app is, so often times they do.
You cant affect it by yourself. can you
sonic_rusher
Obviously not but again, definitions of a killer app are based soley on belief and opinion.
please understand that there is no point to killer apps if they are different from person to person. The whole point of a killer app is that they stand up from the rest of the games. If these killer apps varied then they would not stand up from the rest but merely be in the minds of fools who do not know what they are talking about.

Killer app is just a label that certain people place on games because of their beliefs. It doesn't mean anything concrete and it's just placed on certain games so that groups of people who agree with a certain game having the subjective title of "killer app" can then refer to the game in question in a certain way that would be recognizable to other people who share the same opinion.No not all games can become killer apps. In fact very few can become killer apps. Its a testament of ignorance to say that any game can become a killer app. Thats like saying the worst player on the team can become MVP because its someone's opinion they are the best. If you wanna become completely subjective, like you seem to love to be cause in this world no one is wrong and that includes so your safe in your little world, then anything is up in the air and no one can function like this. And every game has objective reasons whether or NOT they are killer apps. Also its not just a certain group that decides killer apps, its the INDUSTRY, when is this gonna sink in. Well looking on the bright side at least you are learning a little bit, before you said each person decides killer apps now you say certain cult groups decide it. At least your zooming out the microscope a little bit.
The definition does not differ either because the definition is everything about the game. Thats undisputable because we dont have to decipher bits and pieces we have to look at the balance of the hype over the actual quality of the game, the media coverage, and so many other factors that havent even sunk into your brain yet. Its not one thing like you laughably suggested with SSBB when you said that it has the potential of not being a killer app because it lacks voice chat. Everything is used not bits and pieces just another one of your misguided thoughts that are incorrect. Not to mention it may not be completely objective being that its not a defintie science but its also not completely subjective.
HA your just avoiding the issue. It does not matter if its Hello Kitty or one of those stupid 50 Cent games. So backing you in a corner do you honestly think one of those Barbie games can be a killer app because someone has the opinion that it should be a killer app. Also this time dont answer the question like a politician.
Yes it is decided through subjective, objective, and opinion, the thing Im disputing is this completely laughable hilarious idea individuals decide killer apps. its just so funny that you did not know that the industry decides it. Like I said before its completely contradictory to say killer apps differ from people to people and still call them killer apps. What you are thinking.... How fun or how good a game is can differ from person to person but industry standards are determined BY THE DAMN INDUSTRY.
nO killer apps are not soley on belief my one train of thought friend. They are, like i said before and please do not repeat refutied beliefs, decided by the industry that includes us but only in a very small way. Stop making this so small. A game that has killer app status is a big game and cannot be as you say. The way you see it is just wrong, its too small for one of the fastest growing industries. So you plainly said it does differ from people to people so just give it up. It is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.
Killer app is a label not set by one person. Its label set by the industry so you fail. Yes its palced on certain games and maybe its unfair like in the case of Halo 2 but theres nothing you can do about it. Just like this conversation its out of your hands.
