Ratings rant

Posted by hobomonkeyc on Sept. 3, 2006, 3:31 p.m.

[rant] I'm getting annoyed with the way people rate games. People say that they take graphics, gameplay and other crap into effect when they are rating games. I have barley seen anybody give a rating more than three sentences. Its even worse when you can tell the person didnt play the game.

Ratings have dropped in quality. People rate games just because there bored.

And peoples grading systems are twisted. A 10/10 means that the game is good enough to be boxed up and shipped, a perfect. An 8/10 is not an okay.

Just put some more thought into your ratings.

EXAMPLE: Lets just say TG makes a game that is total crap… There will still be some people that are "WoWoz DaT IZ LiKE A 11/10 fO rEalZ" When you submit a game or example, it is your piece of work, your baby. Wouldnt you want to know whats wrong or whats lacking in it?

64d's new golden rule should be:

Rate others the way you would like to be rated

So if you want the bullshit ratings to stop, then start with yourself and rate some games and write out a good review.

And dont delete comments if somebody rates your game bad… It only shows the fact that your game sucks. Get a mod to look at it, and get them to do it, thats thier job anyway :) [/rant]

An average 64d game should have a rating of 5. I sometimes just don't bother to write good criticism, though I always give ratings with that principle (average 5). I am trying to write better comments.

"

I would like pure 10/10's.

You're incorrect, because I said so.
