[@Ace of Hearts] I agree completely! In the end it's all opinion. 

However, I stand by the [s]fact [/s]opinion that games aren't being held to the same standards of quality as they used to. Not by developers necessarily, but by gamers. And this is what I mean by it's easier to make "bad" games but this isn't necessarily a bad thing: it's easier for people to play games than it's ever been before, creating a bigger audience. And I think this is cool!! However, you can't please everyone with every game so I feel like some games are often watered down / simplified to appeal to more people (and yes, I would still include Skyrim and Oblivion on that list, but I still love the games nonetheless).

And if you're okay with that, that's fine. But I encourage people to figure out what they [I]really[/I] like in a game and seek out games and/or developers that cater to that. 

But on a side note: "...acting like his opinions on how games should be made are objective facts." If you lack conviction, your opinion probably isn't worth stating tbh. I just assume everything everyone says is nothing more than an opinion unless it's academic and backed by "objective" sources, haha. Even if they present it "objectively."
