No, but reality is objective and people are a consistent race with a consistent mind and we have to understand what the consequences of those two facts are. The entire reason that art works is because there is a communal basis for it to work; a general aggregate of experiences and of understanding between most if not all human beings that would be viewing it.
"I don't like strawberries", despite being a statement of opinion and perspective, is not entirely subjective. there are reasons that that someone would like strawberries - their taste buds, memories, general experience, any number of objective things. even though it is a statement of opinion, it is still perfectly capable of being false because all subjective statements are still intrinsically based upon objective things. someone can lie about their opinion - and say that they like strawberries when they don't - and that would make that an objectively false statement.
So either try that again, admit that you were wrong, or post-pone to try and think about it more to come up with something better, or w/e. up to you.

and that looks potentially dumber than the first game

Quote:Claiming that God of War is crap because you THINK it is does make it a fact.nope, not because "i think it is", but because i've dissected and argued the objective facts that comprise its being. i could be wrong, but i sincerely doubt that because no one thus far has been able to refute a single thing i've said about the game. thats called being part of a discourse, and pretending to have a meaningful opinion - i.e., one that means something in the grander scheme of things, one that is based on objective facts and intelligent reasoning - while you are separated from that discourse doesn't really have much worth. You can have your opinion, sure, but I think there are different levels of worth and importance here.
