Not sure what Jeff's getting at lumping Mirror's Edge and Medal of Honor together. Is Mirror's Edge a bad game or generic and derivative like Medal of Honor? No, like it or not as a game it brought something new, something Dead Space didn't.

Jeff lumped them together because he didn't like either one. Personally I thought they were both really good. (I liked Dead Space too.)

Seems to me like he was implying ME was mediocre and Dead Space is the only good thing to come of EA's change in development strategy. If that's the case his preference in games is irrelevant and he was stating it like it was a common consensus, which it isn't.
 
When it comes to quality and enjoyment there is no "general consensus" all one has is there own opinion which is what Jeff was expressing, unfortunately people constantly need this pointed out to them.
 
The Giantbobm guys have always been very negative towards ME. (Something i dsagree with) I also vehemetly disagree with their opinions on MVC3

He didn't say anything about enjoyment. It was a general statement of quality if anything and to put Mirror's Edge and Medal of Honor in the same category is dumb. His opinion was dumb. The End.

If you don't enjoy a game its not a quality game to you. It's all subjective. When someone says "man that's a high quality game/movie/tv show/whatever" it's because they enjoyed it.

Again, it was a general statement. This isn't defendable by "but opinions!".

There cannot be "general statements" about quality of subjective things, there are only opinions. You cannot expect everyone to say "in my opinion" before and after every single thing that ever comes out of their mouth.
 
One day Jeff will have to answer for these so called "opinions" and I will be there with a copy of Mirror's Edge in my hand.
