@kingtito:
I mentioned this to Shew in another thread. It seems gaming is an outlier in the entertainment mediums when it comes to accepting people like what they like.
I had a friend in the Army, he was born in Brazil and hated Hollywood movies. He only liked foreign or independent films. Personally I like films. Some of any genre can entertain me. Nobody argued with either of us that Fast and Furious or Avengers were the best films because they sold the most tickets or got majority great reviews.
Many of my friends that are in their 30s like Hip Hop. Personally, I like a few songs, have some classics from the Wu Tang, Cypress Hill that I love but its not something I listen to often. I have a couple of friends from the Army that love Country Western music. None of us argue which is "core music" or best music. We understand your toe taps to what it taps to.
Games. For some reason there are people that swear that if a majority of critics rate something high it must be a fact and God himself deemed it so. No. A fact is: submerge your head in water and take breath in and the drowning process will begin. Humans cannot process Oxygen from liquid.
More people saw The Jungle Book and Batman vs Superman in 2016 but Moonlight won best picture. I enjoyed other films as much and a few more. Am I "dead wrong" for it? Maybe my social circle is shrinking but only in gamers do I see this unwillingness to accept what Shakespeare wrote hundreds of years ago: "good and bad don't exist. Though makes one believe it".
