I think you're missing my point, Khuutra.

I like the reviewer here. So much so, that I often ask through PM about certain games and it even impacts my purchase. My criticsims has nothing at all -- not a single thing -- to do with the people reviewing these games. I'm speaking out purely on how the scores for games are determined and how the sytem clearly favors Japanese genres. Even if I were reviewing games, I could think of many games that I thought deserved 9/10 that actually end up in the mid 80% range. This is because of how the scores are dictated.

To sum it up: The text part of the reviews are fine, it's the scoring system that needs work.

The... the scoring system favors Japanese games?

...Huh.

Okay, I'm going to put aside all presuppositions abou this for a second. I've been unable to see this kind of thing before.

How does that work?

I think he is saying that the value score is purely time/cost, which would always boost japanese games scores. However, I am under the impression that it value is not purely time/cost.
