Yeah which is obviously what I was saying: A game which has high quality across most or all of its core components is a good game, whether you like it or not. The reserve is also possible. I love EDF 2017, but it's a pretty dire game. Dynasty Warriors is average, but again, I love playing them. Zelda is fantastically accomplished in pretty much every way - and bores the hell out of me. You couldn't pay me to play Zelda games anymore. Fallout is, objectively, an amazingly good game. It does essentially everything right. If it isn't to someone's taste, that doesn't make the game bad, it makes the game not to their taste.
