Miaghstir: To be fair though, that IS the most common meaning of "it sucks", wether the speaker actually intended it that way or not.

anjohl: The problem is that "Not compatible with your tastes" clearly outlines the subjectivity, whereas "It sucks" seems to indicate an objectivity.

Yes, "seems" being the important word. The most common meaning of "it sucks" is subjective, not objective, because the speaker often didn't even try to analyse the situation in a relatively objective manner but instead used their own preferences as a base for comparison.

I played a little bit of it, and I really like it.
It took me two tries to get into it, but when I did, I loved it.
It is my favorite Prince of Persia game. It's fun and absolutely gorgeous.
Yep, good game. I still prefer SoT but this one doesn't deserve negativity by any means as it's better than SoT's sequels. People should play it before they criticise it.

I really hate Prince of Persia, but I like this new one. :DD
seriously the old ones just bug the hell out of me.
this one is getting close too, it's just that I really hate the style of play.
the visuals in this aren't so bad.
but I hate 3d platforming.
Ooh. Really looking forward to the return to the Sands saga. Not sure how it can really continue, but whatever.
You have to look for something else than in most other games in this one: Bright side? I was never frustrated, and was totally pulled into something that looked like a smooth and beautiful story with no interruptions. The game was fantastic, and I want to play it over and over and over...

I think I love 3d platforming a bit too much.
I even enjoyed Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom a few years back on my gamecube.
Yeah, I know it's a game based on a TV show and they usually all suck, but there's something about jumping from platform to platform that I enjoy.
All PoP games are amazing. The 2008 one was gorgeous and tons of seamless fun. The Sands of Time trilogy was brilliant.
I remember when I first beat Sands of Time, I was actually sad because I had never had so much fun gaming before. I went online and found out they were making a sequel and was truly elated.

Well, the onus is on the speaker to make sure their message is clear, correct?

Took me six tries to get into Gothic. ;)
