[QUOTE="GSuser123"][...] sales and reviews dont matter to you the only thing you have to base everything you say is from your personal opinion and nothing more. [...]foxhound_fox

Yep. You got it. I can choose to take into account other people's opinions, but the only "facts" we have is our own personal experiences with the games. Reviews can help us determine if it might interest us, but they are not an objective fact that can be used in an argument.What counts is what a game has in it and how it performs. A game with smooth 60fps and highly technical graphics is going to be "better" than a game that struggles to break 24fps and has blurry textures. But then again, it really won't matter if you don't enjoy the "better" game and prefer the "bad" one because you find it more fun.

So the world revolves around you and when you sleep at night everything freezes and resums when you awake. Opinions are what we base all facts upon, its not only up to how you feel to take something as fact or not. And that is were I leave off because arguing your mindset it becomes impossible to win you need to open up and accept other peoples opinions before you face reality.

Rating remains to be seen, but PS3 only has about 1/3 of the userbase of the PS2. Do you honestly expect it to sell more than previous iterations?

Well, if you want to get philisophical, yes. I can't know what other people are thinking, so I can only be sure of what I'm thinking. But I was actually talking in reference to the universal individual, not just myself. Don't get so worked up.

No. Facts are facts. Opinions are interpretations of facts. Science doesn't deal in opinions, it deals in facts. If it dealt in opinions, it wouldn't be science. I do not need to "accept" anyone's opinions. They aren't my opinions. I can take them under advisement, I can even use them to help bolster my own... but they are as far from "objective fact" as you can get.

We are here to discuss our opinions of games, and sometimes, we use facts about games (what is in them, how they perform, or other, verifiable aspects) to help support our opinion... but except from ourselves, no one is required to, or even inclined to accept what we say as "true" or "fact." There is no way anyone can prove themselves "right" except when discussing facts... like what the display resolution of Halo 3 is. Or what framerate Devil May Cry 4 runs at.

In a lot of people's opinions 1 + 1 = 2, maybe in someone elses opinion 1 + 1 = 3. There is nothing out there that makes 1 + 1 = 2 except opinions. But we know it as fact.

Yeah... but that's not the point I'm making. I'm saying that opinions are notfacts. You are talking about an opinion of a fact. Mathematics is the only thing in the universe that is 100% absolute. Everything else can, depending on whatever is found, be found erroneous.

Re-read what I've written about opinions being used as facts, and try arguing your point again. There is no way an opinion, whether "right" or "wrong," can be admissible as a "fact."

@ foxhound (glitchspot is messing up my quotes...) In someone's mind mathematics may not be 100% universal, we know very little of the universe we even live in. The only thing that you have making mathematics 100% universal is the opinions of others and yourself.

No. Mathematics is 100% absolute. It is based on exact formulas and definitions. Please, tell me how my point about how "opinions are not facts" is incorrect. You are going off-topic for the thread and my original argument.

@ foxhound See again in your opinion mathematics is 100% absolute. What you cant seem to understand is everything is composed of opinion. Just like if god is real or not, some may say god is real others may not, and this is not off topic because you argued my "facts" in the 1st place and the real problem is you're not seeing things on the same level that I do, nor will you accept change, and opinons of other poeople than yourself like I have.

*sigh* I don't see why I even try.

Mathematics is 100% absolute, this is undeniable. It is the essence of mathematics to be 100% absolute. Opinion and fact are two different facets of reality. A fact is something that can be objectively verifiable to people other than yourself (i.e. a rock's existence), while opinion is something that can only be verifiable to yourself (i.e. your faith in God's existence).

Funny you bring up God. God does not have a single shred of verifiable evidence to support its existence. A rock does. Thus separating the difference between someone's opinion about something, and the fact of something's existence. But I digress. This discussion has turned into a philosophical debate over fact and opinion and has completely lost the original direction.

So answer my original question: how are opinions facts? In the sense that a review score can be used to determine the quality of a game.

No, teh mathz iznt real!!11! Seriously, why do you bother, its system wars, people are bound to be clueless fools who can't understand 2+2=4 is a fact, and that a game is good is opinion.

foxhound_fox

actually if you want to get technical about it, thats not true, especially in advanced-level mathmatics where we try to figure out things that actually matter instead of crap like how many layers your paintjob can have in forza vs gt5. short of some earth-shattering discovery or cosmic event, the baseline math of 1+1=2 will likely never change, but the high-level math defining what makes 1 a value of 1 changes continually as new discoveries are made. the 'exact formulas and definitions' are are talking about are in reality opinions in ways--a general concensus of the scientific community based on the best available evidence. that evidence crumbles all the time under scrutiny and new theories replace the old ones. so as things go, mathematics is actually extremely fluid.

i see your point, and this forum is full of people with weak arguments who like to use 'opinion' as a crutch/shield, but i just figured id point this out.

anyway on topic, who cares gt sucks hahaha.
