Even if you don't like a game there is no way that FF8 deserves a 1/10. Unless the game is literally broken with basically non-functioning everything then it deserves a 1. This is why I dislike # ratings.
Ex.) I dislike Super Mario Galaxy, but I wouldn't give it a 1 simply because I didn't like almost everything about it. |
Yeah, but I don't have to rate according to VGChartz's rating system here, this is a thread that pretty much has no rules. I gave it a 1/10 based on Fun factor (non-existant), how much I liked the characters (I didn't like any of them) and the quality of the story (like a soap-opera but worse). Since I assumed 1-10 is the scale, I gave it a 1, or I would've given it a 0.
Granted, I don't remember the details of the game too well anymore, I've blocked the horrible horrible experience out, but FF8 is the worst FF I've ever played, and probably the worst functional game I've ever played. Anything I've played that was worse would be games that just didn't work properly.
Considering that perspective, is it still so weird that I'd give it a 1?

Yes, but then averaging all of these numbers is pretty much pointless, since some people put more effort and thought into their numbers, when others are just like, "Meh, I don't like it so 1/10...."

I don't think much thought is going into this beyond 'put up a score'. And it was inevitable that FFVIII would have a bunch of downscores and people going '1/10 worst game ever' scores. The game is known for being one that people either loved or hated. Mostly in comparison to other FF games.
There's three constants in the FF universe. FF7 will always be obsessed over. FF8 will always get unreasonable hate. And there's always another remake or port coming next year.
