            Facts can be wrong or right.
            Opinions cannot.
            "Piece of art sucks" is not a statement of fact, as the only way to determine the quality in the game (even if in roundabout and inefficient manner) is seeing how many people like it. If a lot of people like the game, and you don't, then it's just not for you, but you can't say it sucks objectively, otherwise people wouldn't have liked it.

                Any other options? Geniunely curious. And no, by that metric "whether I liked the game myself or not" would then also not be enough, as I might just have shit taste and like a shitty game. Or even do so while being aware of it.

                You'd have to create a scale with a rational basis for every design decision, as well as every set of design decisions, focusing on the way the game executes on the developers' vision. It's possible, but it's extremely laborious.

                I see what you mean. It would be difficult, especially since gaming has no proper academia associated with it outside of Japan and guys on YouTube.
                However, that also implies that every rational decision would objectively be the best one, despite the vast un-uniformity of human experiences and thus different reactions to the same design tricks.
                To give an example, we basically DO have this exact thing for cinema. We've got a variety of tools and tricks we learned over the years, all the various lighting effects, camera pans, and what not. We more or less understand that they work or even why they work. And it's definitely not useless, people study those for a reason. But even with all that, we cannot really make that final leap and say that using trick X or using trick Y in scene Z is objectively better or worse. There will be some design choices that WILL turn off the majority of people, but even then there will be cases where this is not as evenly matched or clear. A lot of people still love trash movies, and if you go outside the anglosphere, where people are not told by reviewers that "thing X was trash" you'll see a lot of them loved the Star Wars prequels, or the Super Mario Bros. movie sincenerely without realziing those were so panned in the West at all.
                So with all of those tools and research already in hand, there seems to be some final "is/ought" pit that I am not sure can be surmountable, even if I want it to be.

            If we are to go that route, you technically can't prove any experience filtered through the human perceptions lens represents actual physical reality. Which technically might be true but is reductive to the point of uselessness. So we can at least settle on intersubjectivity, as in something that all or the overwhelming majority of humans percieve as true since we share more or less the same perception mechanisms, and that just call THAT "objective" in everyday speech as it is for all intents and purposes of daily life.
            Not sure if math/physics equaltions/numbers are exempt from this or not, though, as they represent our measurement system and are not really true or false and more of a tool.

    Wrong. Zelda games are judged by the quality of their dungeons, and the dungeons in MM were awful compared to OOT's.

      Holy shit, how wrong can you be.
      MM is superior with EVERYTHING. That is not an overstatement. Story. Characters. Gameplay mechanics. Dungeons. World. Lore. EVERYTHING.

      MM is the EXACTLY when it started to show that Shiggy was old fashioned

        >story
        Frick off. Neither story was that important in the grand schreme, and OOT's story may be generic "save the princess" crap, but it had way more care put into its progression than "hurr welcome to termina, now go clear these 4 random temples and beat skull kid, bro!" while interacting with generic townsfolk in between.
        >Characters.
        Characters in both games are interesting in their own right. What a shitty fricking argument. Not to mention have the characters in MM are from OOT.
        >Gameplay mechanics
        What? They play practically the same minus the masks.
        >Dungeons
        Again, you're a moron. The first three dungeons in MM are forgettable trash, a slog to get through, and the last one is good but is ruined by a shit boss.
        Meanwhile all of OOT's dungeons and bosses are memorable, with specific rooms that anyone who played the game can recall.
        >World
        And again, both worlds are interesting in their own right. The fact that you think this is a point of argument is moronic.
        >Lore
        Sure, I'll agree that the mysterious nature of MM is more memorable than OOT's rather generic setting.
        >Music
        Funny you didn't mention this when OOT's ocarina songs were so much better than the quickly thrown together slop that was MM's ocarina songs.

          This is just bottom barrel opinion on a MM hater.
          The townsfolk was fun as hell, in the repetition of 3 days, finding out who the talk to and go, their problems, and so on.
          The main story had more substance than anything OoT could muster up. If anything, many parts of it was a bore. Don't even try to justify this.

          >Characters in both games are interesting in their own right. What a shitty fricking argument. Not to mention have the characters in MM are from OOT.
          What a shitty argument, when you can't even refute it? "B-but OoT had interesting characters too!" isn't an argument. Bottomline, MM had more interesting characters. Period. A character as bland as the milk guy is already better than what most of OoT had.

          >What? They play practically the same minus the masks.
          It's such an interesting and fun mechanic. Extremely creative too.

          >Dungeons
          >forgettable trash.
          Heh, compare it to what exactly, at most some dungeons are average compared to OoT but still at par if not better. There are only a few in OoT that stand out, given that it had more.

          >And again, both worlds are interesting in their own right. The fact that you think this is a point of argument is moronic.
          It is. It is better. You have no argument.

          >Music
          Some of the best soundtracks Zelda has to offer came from MM. The dark, dreary, anxious inducing setting makes for good music.

          Bottomline: MM is better. It's LITERALLY OoT but Nintendo had an opportunity to fix what it found lacking from OoT.
          It's just that the mainstream gaming media LOVES, I mean LOVES to coom over OoT, it's hilarious.

          OoT was first. LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON why it's considered GOAT. Because of the impact it had on the industry as a whole.

    I love webslinging in an open New York as much as everyone else, but I do miss level based Spider-Man video games sometimes, it feels like they're more focused and use his powers better.

    Ok but here's an even less popular take:
    None of those series are even relevant. They might've been good games when they came out but that's it. I've tried a few of them like Mario 64 and got bored within a couple of levels. No I won't give them another chance either, I have better games to play.

      once the muttlennials stepped aside and based zoomers discovered the game, they realized that it indeed was the best game the whole time. so the opinion has shifted and it is now regarded as the best game
