General Gaming / RE: How do you consider ratings?
« on: September 15, 2007, 08:38:07 AM »
Yea it's more of a carryover from grade school and i was too tired to fill the rest in. 5-star would make sense but you couldn't give MK: DS 3.9 stars, it just wouldn't be the same.

I also like the 10-point system, here's one way it could work
10: contains some revolutionary or extraordinary aspects that set it above the average game in recent memory. meticulous detail in every facet of the game. good length and maybe a few extra features; a game you want to show your grandchildren.
9: highly entertaining, well-rounded with a few extremely well-done elements
8: minor graphical flaws, maybe a little short, maybe not appealing to everyone, lacks a few features but still worth $50
7: spotty control and/or plain graphics, average overall. but if you like the genre you may find some things you like. not worth full price though
6: few redeeming qualities.. yet strangely may be spoken fondly of in 10 years.
5-0: Acclaim and Activision
negative points: non-games
With those parameters you can easily look at the scale and tell which zone a game should lie. Even so, I prefer words words words with every review.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Current WWII Shooters Are Unethical
« on: September 13, 2007, 07:25:53 PM »
I think it's unethical because they are cranked out like Madden every year. There were two of them in the first 6 months of the Wii's launch. Also..
Call of Duty GC: Finest Hour GC: 7.0 - IGN
Call of Duty 2 GC: Big Red One GC: 8.0 - IGN
COD 3 Wii: 6.0, IGN: 7.7
MOH Vanguard Wii: 7.0 - IGN (press average: 5.8, ouch)
MOH European Assault GC: 5.5, IGN: 8.1
MOH Rising Sun GC: 7.0, IGN: 7.5
MOH Frontline GC: 7.5, IGN: 7.9
What is it about WW2 that brings out the mediocrity of these companies? So they can reuse sound effects and make a cardboard cutout of a bobbing gun, BFD. That can be reused for every game. I want to enjoy these games as an experience that a movie can't give you, but there is a severe shortage of merit. Enough cartoons, I say.

There should be one for the NWR forums, like a rating system for each thread. If someone started posting a lot of non-lucid complaints (PURELY HYPOTHETICAL, WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT NWR) in a thread full of good tidings of great joy to all people, a poster could vote and give it a quick sanity-down.

The same thing nintendo does to every game: instead of using game endings to fill in pleasant details that would enhance the cohesiveness of a franchise's plot, they just plop the protagonist down, have them look off into the distance, pan the camera around some of the game's scenery, and call it quits.

Perhaps the burgeoning, post-recession Japanese economy is a casus belli of gamers not having enough time to master newfangled controls.

« on: September 06, 2007, 09:57:48 PM »
I agree the game is a solid 9.5 and just finished tonight. Overall, some upgrades were too easy to get, and some areas seemed a little lifeless. It also felt like there were much fewer things (computers especially) to scan and thus, less background info than Prime 1. The fetch-quest irked me, as did the fact that the rooms that respawned the most annoying enemies imaginable tended to be the ones connected to the longest door-load times.
But the New Formula™ is intriguing; the controls and aiming are precise and superior; the design of some rooms make your imagination spin. And rampaging against hordes of foes is even more gratifying as a result of these synergetic qualities.
Must. Have.

I think you're a fan if you've played through the best, and at least know about the worst games from each past system, know a little history, are willing to camp out for a limited piece of software/hardware, and can tell someone in a game store what they should buy! Like a sports fan, a Nintendo fan wants Nintendo to profit and succeed so that more quality games can be made, and you also think that Nintendo games are usually better than others. That's a nice and simple definition.
Hey this sounds like a good HOT TOPIC question.
