Ratings already cater to those stupid enough to think that a 10 actually makes it a perfect game even if it has flaws, and use those scores in attempt to show that Wii have lower quality games, and that one game is better than another despite obvious differences in focus. |
So who has a chip on there shoulder? You thinking this right here, is why I started entering this thread in the first place. I have read all the reviews for GTA, and in none of them have I ever seen the word Wii. The only people threatened by GTA getting a 10, is Wii owners. (not saying all Wii owners, as I own a Wii :p). The rest of the world is just playing the game. *1 As for catering to the stupid, I meant people in general (with respect to your "Wii Review Channel" setup). I was meaning if you employed that system across all gaming, it would not tell the mildly intelligent anything they could not derive themselves. *2 With that system, we would know that people who like fighting games would think SSBB is the best fighting game in the Wii. We know that. We would know that SandBox fans would find GTA4 the best Sandbox game ever made. We know that already. I never said anything a out Wii games or owners. That chip is showing up again my friend. *3 What it would do however, is separate the scores in a manner where you don't feel threatened by a video game, and if that's what you need, then I am all for it. I just want everyone to be happy :). *4 |
*1 - Nope sorry, that's YOUR thinking, not mine. I didn't refer to GTA IV and in actual fact, I had OoT, GTA IV, as well as any other 10 scored game grouped into that category when I mentioned it. I've consistently made no issues about the GTA IV, yet you are the one that constantly insists that I'm feeling threatened by it. For some confusing reason you also seem to think I'm talking about the reviewers when I'm mentioning people using the ratings to compare consoles.
*2 - Your assumption is again incorrect. Not all people who like sandbox games ONLY like sandbox games and not all people who like fighting games ONLY like fighting games. In the Wii review channel method, it is only games you have rated that are used to filter results of other people, if you have Wii sports, wii play, and wii fit rated high, then anyone else who has Wii fit, wii sports, and wii play rated high would show up when you looked for the rating of a game. However, they have to have PLAYED the game to be able to review it. Hence people that only stick to their own category of games and don't play anything else wouldn't show up.
So if rating Wii sports, Wii play, and wii fit highly and then looking at GTA IV, only people that have rated similarly to your ratings AND have also played GTA IV in order to rate it will show up. If you have also tried and rated, for instance, No More Heroes, and also rated it high, then people who rated wii sports, play, and fit high, but have rated No More Heroes low, will NOT show up.
*3 - As near as I could tell, we had stopped talking about GTA IV entirely and moved onto the rating system, as that was an actual main point in the OP. The original thread in which I came up with the idea for ratings was called the "Wii Review Channel" and then you lay claim to the idea that it is odd for me to mention the Wii in my argument. If 360 or PS3 had the type of diverse focus that the Wii had, I'd use them in the example. Yes, the chip is certainly showing up indeed.
*4 - The entire purpose of ratings is for people to have an idea of what games are worth purchasing. This differs from person to person. This isn't a matter of not feeling threatened, but to actually make ratings useful again. The only purpose have under their current setup is that of epenis waving. If that's your thing, fine, but don't act like its anything greater than that.

Can you guys re-lock this thread please? MontanaHatchet's first assessment was right, this is basically a troll thread with the intent of calling everyone who thinks GTA4 deserves a 10 stupid (as Grey's last post points out).

What the hell are you talking about? A) when the hell have I left? B) Who the hell cares if I do? I dunno about you, but I do kinda have a life outside of defending myself from you pathetic attempts to make me look like I have some kind of grudge against GTA IV.
Throughout the past 3 pages I have refuted every point you could throw out in detailed form and numerous people have backed up those facts. This post you've just made pretty much demonstrates that you have no purpose in this thread other than to twist words in an attempt to lock this thread so you don't have to feel threatened by your own imaginary attacks that are being made on your perfect little game. If it's as perfect as you claim, then go play it.
