Not the pefect solution... as you can play games you haven't rated... but since FF13 is already at a 4.7 something... if only the people who owned the game could rate it... things might not seem as fanboyish... or they will... but at least only positivly fanboyish and since games are split up by system now the only games you'd be hurting by giving a game fraudenlently high scores is the other games on the system.

I think it might be a good use for the new "I own this game" feature.

How will we know if people actually own a game....

Somehow IMDB gets it right...their votes tend to be pretty spot on.

I just don't read much into our rankings here...other than which fanboy faction is winning at the moment.

I think it would be a great idea, but I don't know how you would do it. It would definitely help the reputation/stereotype of this site, which is known as a Nintendo hotspot (which is fine, everyone needs their own forum).

But I agree, it's pretty lame to see a wonderful franchise like FF getting a 4.7, especially when the game isn't even out yet.

It would be even better if you couldn't use the button before the game's respective release.

Yes it would Montana...but I don't think it would help much. Obviously there are 12 immature kids running around the Chartz who think that these ratings are important. My answer...I don't vote.

The ratings aren't really important. The ratings do, however, show the general attitude of the community. When WiiFit gets a 9 rating and Final Fantasy 13 gets voted down to the 4-5 range, it's bound to annoy someone.

bingo

ive seen it on 360 and ps3, seen it where COD for 360 was 1 and ps3 was a 10

seen it where ps3 AC was a 4 and 360 was a 6 or so.

Its rather rediculas shows where this site stands.

 not this again....

bring in the fanboys. 

 Well it's not games on Nintendo platforms, so you're fine with it.

But for the rest of us, it's quite an annoyance.

If they can lie about their rating (since people are poorly rating an unreleased game) they can lie about owning it as well. Just face it, the site is teeming with shameless Nintendrones/Sony haters that believe their opinions are more valuable than actual facts.
