Forums - Gaming - How should a review be done? My own ideal way inside. Id like to discuss.

I agree, if I made a review the final score would only be based around the fun factor, and all other elements (graphics, story, music) will be mentioned in the review of course, but will not alter the final score.

What I don't like from IGN is the use of decimals, what's the difference between 7.9 and 7.8? Why not 8? At least they should use half points, from 7.0 - 7.5 - 8.0 and so on.



Castlevania Judgment FC:     1161 - 3389 - 1512

3DS Friend Code:   3480-2746-6289

Yeah, I think movies should be graded solely on how fun they are, too. Here, I'll start... hmm... That Eraserhead flick? Totally not fun; 1/10. Transformers? Fun as hell; 10/10. I mean, who cares about things like story and immersion anyway when all we want is a bunch of mindless explosions and car chase scenes?

Heck, let's do the same thing for books. Harry Potter is more fun to read than Ulysses; therefore, I'm rating it higher, and that's that.

Movies and Games are completly different. Fun = immersion. If your having fun your into the game that much more.

Your prove no point in your post.=

 

 

 

My point is that games, like movies and books, are capable of much more than simple fun.

Who ever said it has to be simple?

@RolStoppable
At least yours is better than anything current. Only problem is your 2 top scores are rated on if your only interested in the genre.

Well, you could easily make the explanation of the top rating "must have games for fans of the genre and if you haven't been interested in the genre previously, this game might change it".

I can live with that. Its good.
