It's very different. The Earth being round has been proven. If someone doesn't think it's round then that someone is called ignorant.
This is the same thing. H2V being a bad game has been proven. Very thouroughly. Same as the Earth being round. But if you go to the FES's website, there are people there who will spit argument after argument full of delusions, conspiracies, and excuses to try and justify a viewpoint that no reasonable person would even consider defending.
No different than what you do on this board with H2V. You argue against fact, yet are so deluded that you believe you don't.
What defines a good game. And what does the person define as a good game?
What defines a good game: There is a solid criteria to what makes a game good. Things like lag, GFWL breakdown, glitches, etc, are what can mark games as "poor" or "superb".
But how does the person define a good game? This question can only be answered by the individual, and that's why nothing is set in stone for gaming. The player him/herself makes the choice based on his/her experience, gaming preference, interests, etc.
And the level of detail that can go into the individual's desires for what they want to see in a game can extend so far into the personal realm of the player.
Think about it: If what you're saying is Truth (philosophically speaking, Truth with a capital "T"; i'll explain to you what that means if you want to know), then that would mean a game like DOOM is, without question, worse than Halo 1 because of it's technical inferiority, primitive gameplay, etc.

Conclusion: There is no "proof" involved in "good games" when it comes down to the players themselves.
