[Stane]

All philosophy aside, for to many people 'bad' is just a shorthand for

'I personaly did not like (understand?) it therefor it must be BAD.'

If you pass out that kind of 'review' on whatever topic that speaks more about you then about whatever you were referring at.

If you are able to make this distinction and still pass out just plain old 'bad' as a judgment then its laziness. If something is bad you should be able to back it up with an argument, at least one.

To ease yourself into Nietzsche, i'd start with Die fröhliche Wissenschaft / The Gay Science.
It's really funny and punkrock!.

speaking of this, nietzsche didn't promote subjectivism as such, his term was perspectivism: i.e. that objectivity is best reached by taking all subjective views into account. so i would say that "bad" is perspectivist, not subjective or objective.

taking all subjective views about a game into account, both those who think a game is bad and those who think a game is good, and accepting both as accurate and true reports of a person's experience of a game, you reach an objective stance about a game: that it is good for some people for x reasons, and bad for other people for y reasons.
