Can you log in now? I thought the beta was over. When I login now it just says wait until the next beta.

I see people write reviews and complain about graphics.

Who cares!?

If its got good gameplay does it matter?Look at the retro and indy movement. There are tons of successful games with lo-fi graphics.

So really, are mediocre graphics really a reason to reduce a game's rating?

greatest game ever, no.

i can't stand ocarina of time. recently...i bought it and tried to like it for the 3ds and it sold it after a couple months. i did the same thing back in the day with N64.

it had difficulty and just not enough pull for me to care about beating the challenges. also the music and charactesr are really irritating.

if you want to give it the award of one the most irritating game ever, i'm on board. i respect this game, but i personally didn't like its design.

Because of our acedemic grading system in the US, we have a skewed view on rating systems based off 10 or 100 points. In school we are tought that anything below 60% is a failure.

So for all sakes and purposes the first 50% of points are useless in a rating system based off 10 or 100.

5 point systems that are done in increments of .5 are much more effective in portraying a rating where someone from the US can mentally understand.

I say this because I was reading wikkipedia about metacritic.com and it said
"Many video game reviewers take issue with the way Metacritic assigns scores. When a game reviewer gives a video game a rating of "A", Metacritic assigns it a value of 100. When a reviewer gives a game a rating of "F", Metacritic assigns it a value of 0—although some reviewers think a score of 50 is more appropriate.[2] When a reviewer gives a game a rating of "B-", Metacritic assigns it a value of 67—and many publishers, developers, and websurfers think that the score should be closer to 80.[4] A former editor at the review site Game Revolution, Joe Dodson, criticized Metacritic and similar sites, saying their conversion system was turning their reviews into scores that were too low"

With this said. I think that metacritic is (the only site that I know) of that seems to have a full understanding of the first 50% of points having some importance.

Just something to think about when you read a review..
