I might say I like one better. Or that one is better to me.Now, something can be objectively better - if it’s better in every category of both intrinsic and extrinsic qualities.  But the games we tend to discuss aren’t like that. They all provide trade offs.  Then each of us individually grade the RPG based on what trade offs we value. So the only reason I can see someone being so concerned with whether some RPGs are objectively better than others in this context is if they think the RPGs they like are objectively better than the games another likes. This position that my games are objectively better is objectively offensive to anyone that doesn’t hold it. You see this happen on all sides of this conversation. The pain, irritation and baggage comes from claims that some games or style of games, etc are objectively better with the implication being that the games the other likes are inferior and often with the implied, if only you could see how inferior your game was you would like mine.</blockquote>
