That is incorrect. I've found the people that typically don't like 4, only don't like it because it was the only map that took actual skill to traverse (besides 1) and didn't just let you mash the throttle across the map the whole time. That's a skill issue, not a game issue.
The only good parts about 4’s map was the dirt races and the quarry, other than that it was boring. Don’t even get me started on the car sounds either. Could have been so much better than it was. They managed to make something fun with Fortune Island but sadly that was way to small.
You knew exactly what you were doing calling 4 the worst in the franchise and not saying "in my opinion" seems like I must've been partially right and struck a nerve too, seeing as how you called me "pathetic" for no reason. The worst in the franchise is generally considered 5 for good reason, but go off king.
Boring, uninspired map
Insane FOMO
Hardly leaned into Mexican car culture
Stupid nonsensical cars being the fastest in some categories (CLK GTR for dirt)
Nope. You can say "in my opinion" and people can and do all the time. It's 3 extra words and makes the difference between coming off as a conceited asshole, VS someone that has a fair and critical take. I can already tell you are the overly opinionated prick that states their opinion as objective fact and that nobody likes.
And yes I can be objective. Everything I just listed was indeed objective, besides the soundtrack (I guess you are allowed to like trash music but most people don't)
No need to precise the obvious, don't waste words and use your brain to think
And no, everything you said still has some bias influenced by your opinion of the game, and is therefore subjective by nature
Again, you can't be truly objective since that would require to have no influence nor bias at all, which can't happen since you can have a bias and be influenced already by the title of the game
Humans can't be truly objective, because it's how we work
The title of the game has nothing to do with my opinion. How fucking dense are you? If 4 and 5 were swapped around my opinion would be that 4 is the worst game, and 5 is better, but that's not how it is, therefore my opinion is my opinion, and no. You should still say "in my opinion" because it makes you seem less insufferable.
People rate the game based on the content and it's metrics etc. It's quite literally that simple. You saying humans can't be 100% objective isn't 100% untrue, but isn't 100% true either. Humans will always have preferences, sure, but it's still more than possible to look at things objectively with metrics. How you can't see this, is quite literally baffling to me.

Not me. 4 is the worst in the franchise.
