And does the Lord of the Rings RTS game get a 2.13 over at Gamerankings?

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Those are compilations of reviews and many, many people.

Our site is relatively small compared to gamerankings, and a few bad votes for a game can send it way down. It's not something you need to take so seriously, stop worrying about the ranks of the games.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

@sinha: It is douchey to troll the ratings. I'm just not convinced that anyone pays any attention to the end result. It's a very different situation than say, rateyourmusic.com, because here it's really tangential to why most people come to this site.

That's why I said it doesn't really matter what the ratings are. I doubt even vgchartz regulars make purchasing decisions based on how games are scored on this site. But then the question is why does this site even have game scoring? And why do these people bother to go to the page for the Lord of the Rings RPG and give it an average score of 2.13?

I just find it humerous because no doubt some of those (anonymous) game ratings trolls are the same people who then complain about bias at various game review sites.

And not everyone here is strictly Nintendo, I prefer Nintendo games to most other games, but Halo 2 is still the best game of all time for me, and I will most likely say that Halo 3 will be the best game this year, that is if SSBB doesnt amaze me more. I really love my Wii and my 360.

BTW if ANYONE wants to play me in Brawl, or Halo when they come out, tell me, I needs a challenge :D.

@seinster: Do you post about anything else? The only place where this bias seems really evident is in user-generated polls. The data isn't gathered by those people, and I feel like the majority of the people who post here are civilized and intelligent relative to the rest of the gaming web community (which is the cream of the crap for internet communities, but still). As a multi-console site focusing on who's "winning the war", there's a remarkable amount of communication between people who favor one console or another. In fact, the only time it seems to break down is when someone comes in and starts complaining about a percieved systematic bias, or how all the Nintendo fans are bombing all over anything non-Nintendo related. While there are a) more Nintendo fans here proportionally (for reasons already enumerated) and b) there are idiot-trolls (this is the internet), I find that, for the most part, Nintendo (and Sony and Microsoft) fans don't unnecessarily shit on each other here, and if they have something negative to say about another console or game on a console, it's not completely ridiculous.

So really, calm down.

Uh actually I'm not upset, so I don't need to calm down.  I was just posing a question, that's all.  I agree with you that this site is generally idiot-free.

 What do you mean do I post about anything else?  I created this thread for a reason, if I wanted to talk about something else I would start another or respond to another thread.  Not sure what you mean by that.

I've been here for a couple of months, but thanks.  I really don't care that much and I'm not upset, I just find the game ratings peculiar, that's all.
