| theRepublic said: It should be there. There is no excuse for not having it. That said, I found the star ratings on the Wii U and 3DS eShops to be almost completely useless. For some reason most online 5-star rating systems seem to default to everyone just giving 5 stars. Very few people use the system they way I think it should work, with an average game being 3 stars. I have a had a much easier time finding good games through online review aggregators, or curated lists of games from review sites. There is a lot of clearly low budget trash with high star grades that mix in with good games with the same scores. |
I agree with the person who groused that Netflix transitioned from a stars-system to a thumbs-up-or-down system instead, but I think you (and others here) have nailed why; people generally suck, and therefore go all or nothing. Apropos of the time, perhaps, but still. Because of that, I don't miss the rating system, even if I agree that it should be there.
