| choirsoftheeye said: @sinha: It is douchey to troll the ratings. I'm just not convinced that anyone pays any attention to the end result. It's a very different situation than say, rateyourmusic.com, because here it's really tangential to why most people come to this site. |
That's why I said it doesn't really matter what the ratings are. I doubt even vgchartz regulars make purchasing decisions based on how games are scored on this site. But then the question is why does this site even have game scoring? And why do these people bother to go to the page for the Lord of the Rings RPG and give it an average score of 2.13?
I just find it humerous because no doubt some of those (anonymous) game ratings trolls are the same people who then complain about bias at various game review sites.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
