I agree with you two as well. When games like Halo 2, Ocarina of Time, and Final Fantasy VII are dropping below 8.5, it's just dumb. People are trolling the games, voting against a game each day, just because it's not on their system. IMO a better thing to do would be to get an agreement with Gamerankings to list their scores on all the games. That would be awesome.

The problem is not everyone rates things the same. Some people consider it a bell curve and basically 80% of the games should be 4-6. Voting like that, a 7 is a fairly favorable grade and there is no shame dropping below 8.5. Other people, consider 7 as a C- or poor grade. The site has no guidelines as to what a 1 means, what a 3 means, what a 5 means, etc...

 

 

Sure, but when you consider that the games getting an 8.5 or lower are some of the best produced games of all time, and nothing is scoring above 8.5 here, it certainly looks like trolling.  And if someone comes along and trolls a game at a 1 and the game deserves a 9.0, 9 people have to come along and troll the game to 10 to get the average of those 10 votes (the 1 and the 9 10s) to 9.0.  As people have said, if you haven't played the game, don't vote.  If you're voting and you haven't played it, perhaps you should get out and check out the daystar.  They are girls outside, you know.

I'm all for grading hard, but the best efforts in the history of gaming deserve top scores.  And few games, if any, deserve a 1.0.
