GameFAQs and metacritic aren't exactly reliable sources, either. Heck, quanchi posted an IGN review of Skyward Sword that gave it 10/10 and called it a complete masterpiece.
I tend to distrust these things is what I'm saying, IGN included.
I wouldn't call it perfect myself (still objectively better than TP), but I can see where they're coming from.
The important thing is to think for yourself on these things, even if you heard it somewhere else first. Because even the most concise, refined, or profound review of anything is still just someone else's opinion.
Oddly specific? Metacritic is the biggest user review site I know and GameFAQs the largest video game forum I know of.
MetaCritic and GameFAQs provide a large sample size while IGN's review is a single person's thoughts on the matter. Not saying they are perfect however, nor am I claiming TP is better than SS just using it to show that people seem to prefer TP over SS.
"Objectively better" lol get the f*** out with that s***. It's nothing more than your subjective opinion.
And they're the two of many that you decided to cite, and they just so happen to agree with you? What a f**king coincidence.
But you basically did say that.
If you didn't butcher my post, you would have caught my end statement clarifying that. (Hell, this entire conversation is on a matter of subjectivity. Hence your prolonging it.)

If you have a source with a large sample size that disagrees post it. I just used two of the largest and easiest sources to find. I don't care enough to cherry pick through the internet especially since I find both to be subpar games.
Where? I just said that TP seems to be the more universally liked game.
And? Even if I do think SS is the worse game what does that prove exactly? I never claimed it was objectively worse or any such bull shit. I just disagreed with you statement that more people like SS. And no, after replaying it I've come to think that TP was quite a mess as well.
You could have left it at that too, but you had to get arrogant about it. When citing those two sources as "proof", aren't you essentially putting your trust into them? And when claiming personal indifference, does that not conflict with your entire argument (as in why you would to begin with)? If it truly doesn't matter to you, why not leave it the f**k alone?
On the subject of objectivity, when put to thought, it's little more than educated subjectivity, and it's by no means something to get pissy about when used in casual discussion. Yes, it's still just an opinion, but the difference is in how it's formed. Rather than leaving something at "OMG, 10/10!" or "Eh, it's OK." or "This sucks! I don't like it!", someone decides to draw a conclusion based qualitatively observable variables, and IT MAKES SENSE.
If my sincere use of the term to express how I genuinely feel about the subject matter did somehow offend you, I'm sorry (for your being upset, not my honesty). Though, seriously, you can't blame me for that.
