I just noticed this line. No piece of art or entertainment can be objectively good. When someone starts insisting that someone can't be argued against, that's when I'll feel tempted to argue against it out of spite. The "objectively good game" police can eat my dick.

For example: I really hate the combat system in the Arkham games. You don't have to agree, but I don't consider it good and no one can tell me I have to change my mind.

For some reason, you see the idea that something is objectively good a lot among gamers, but not a lot among people who are interested in other forms of art. It's that nerdy, technical mind that over rationalizes and quantifies everything that's the root of this, I think.
