Can people accept a good game as a good game even if they dont like it

for example i honestly think halo is the most boring game ive ever played. the 1st one. but i accept it as a good game and can understand why many people like it. but it seems people think that if they dont like it then its a FACT that the game sucks and no one should like it. like LBP for instance, some one hates it therefore everyone must hate or your just a little kid. why cant people just say yeah i dont like that game but i can see why most/some would like it. but then i guess if everyone thought this way SW wouldnt be any fun. so im asking are there any game you guys dont like or maybe even just hate that alot of people enjoy

Whats the point in that : P.Ren_eko

Mass Effect, I know its good i just don't like it.clembo1990

If thousands of people like the game which is good like MGS4 and I don't, that does not make me a fanboy.

It is simple: Tastes differ

for example i honestly think halo is the most boring game ive ever played. the 1st one. but i accept it as a good game and can understand why many people like it. but it seems people think that if they dont like it then its a FACT that the game sucks and no one should like it. like LBP for instance, some one hates it therefore everyone must hate or your just a little kid. why cant people just say yeah i dont like that game but i can see why most/some would like it. but then i guess if everyone thought this way SW wouldnt be any fun. so im asking are there any game you guys dont like or maybe even just hate that alot of people enjoy

That's exactly how I feel. I consider Halo to be great game but I really do not enjoy it and I've tried all three.

I would answer your question with another question. What does it matter if other people do or do not accept a game as good? As long as you like it, that's what's really important.musicalmac

Mods are smart, you should listen them

I think Farcry2 is the worst game of this generation.

And no, I cant accept it as a good game on any level.. Its bad.. plain and simple.

Most people, myself included, can respect a good game as a good game, or at least respect others opinions. Sadly, many however, are too narrow-minded to do so.Tylendal

And it's all geood and well to have your opinion. What TC is talking about is the difference of having your own opinion, and turning that into a declarative statement, which essentially tries to push that idea on others.

I mean I could not for the life of me get how combining the Final Fantasy universe with Disney (of all things) could even be conceived. But I see how many people rave about it and were barely able to contain their anxiety over the delayed sequel. So I have to figure they must have done something right and it can't be that bad with that mant people liking it.

Now if only others could apply that observation to the Halo series :?

I would answer your question to a question with yet another question. What does it matter if you want to know if others can accept a good game as good...? ;) Its all in good fun to be curious.

Slight aside, you should have joined us on Halo 3 last night. It was all kinds of fun. :DSpruceCaboose

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean the reasons aren't there. It's just your perceptions, but if you simply observe how others regard something, that in itself should tell you there is something about said game. The problem with just saying "no, it's still crap no matter what they say" is the sheer arrogance of it, as if they are all stupid for liking something just because it disagrees with you. What exactly is to say your opinion is more valid than theirs? Better you just say, "Halo ain't for me, but it still has something going for it for others".

It all comes down to taste, and it shouldn't be hard to accept that others tastes are as right as your own.

And people will never get over hating Halo. People love hating on popular things. It makes them feel smarter for ignoring popular things and clinging to the underrated and overlooked "better" games...

That sense of superior intellect of course just being a self fabricated illusion :P

And what sig was that you wanted again?

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]Now if only others could apply that observation to the Halo series :? SpruceCaboose

No. I cannot. If a game isn't good, then i wont like it. It's that simple. how can i think a game is good if i don't like it? How am i to know it's good if i dislike it?cuddlesofwar

Thats not true, something being good or bad is a matter of opinion, if someone doesn't like something its their opinion and everyone has a right to that opinion, if someone doesn't like Star Wars, to them, its not good, its an opinion and if someone doesn't like something, they do not have to say its good, if to them, it is not.

Yeah, without a doubt, I do it all the time.

I do the opposite as well. I can accept that a game is bad (or atleast why others would think it bad) even when I really like it.

Soldier of fortune payback for example - bad game, but I think its awesome.

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"][QUOTE="OniStrat"]Sure, but the problem is that I don't understand why people like Halo so much. Yes, I played the first one and didn't like it, and I don't understand why so many people do. I gues Halo 2 and 3 can be very fun online though.OniStrat

And again, that's just your lack of understanding, not any fault in the game itself.
