I'm really confused...



People are reviewing ten year old games to keep it at the top of GameRankings in some sort of pissing contest... It's a shame that it's that serious.



People playing games.



People watching the order of games on gamerankings.



im tried of hearing about this. i dont think gta deserved those scores that it got. it was nothing new. its pretty much an expanded version of san andreas. it was all hype surrounding it that pushed review scores.

it was nothing new.


Nobody said it is. But contrary to believe good scores have nothing to do with being "new" but with being good. I mean Galaxy got similar scores and it's even more of an evolutionary game. And GTA4 is an awesome game. Not the best I have played this gen but awesome nonetheless.



Many of you are overreacting to this. This is what happened:

1. GameRankings changes the score from Cubed3 for Ocarina of Time from 9.9 to 9 because GameRankings think the score was entered wrong.

2. GameRankings realizes that the score was originally entered correctly, but that Cubed3 has decided to now only show truncated scores. GameRankings changes back to the original score (9.9) to be more accurate/precise.

3. GameRankings removes the score from Adrenaline Vault because that site is no longer running (the current "Adrenaline Vault" is not the one that reviewed Ocarina of Time)

That's it. There's no conspiracy or lack of integrity on GameRankings' part.

This is why I like the 5 star system. It doesn't matter what's on top. If it's 5 stars, it's awesome.

Although it would be hard to agree on what exactly is a 5 star game. The though that Wii Sports could be would drive some up a wall. Or some would insist classic games are rated on nastalgia, rather than quality.

Of course the best solution is to agree to disagree.  



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Does gamerankings have a page for those kinds of updates? If not, they should, just to avoid confusion.

I have lost all interest in this bollocks.

not that it was particularly hard to lose no interest.
