Hi. Something I think that could help enhance this site would be if player reviews could have a "The Good"/"The Bad" segments kind of like at the top of the proffessional reviews, and we could be able to give out merits/demerits? Because before hand we were able to have our little tablet with the "Graphics 1-10, Gameplay 1-10, etc."

Now that that system is gone, I think we should be able to give out merits and demerits and a good/bad section of player reviews.

Thanks.

Yea, I support this, too. I like reading these things just like the reviews on CNET. We should also add a quick-summary.

I've had this idea on my mind ever since I heard about merits/demerits, and I browsed this forum just a while ago looking for a topic like this, but could not find one, so I figured I'd make my voice heard. I didn't steal this idea from anyone.

Exactly. I already do the Good/Bad intro in most of my reviews, but a clean header like the official ones would be welcome - and shouldn't be difficult to implement I think.

i dont care for the good/bad since anyone can put it on there, but i do want the ability to review games the same way the editors do. i don't try to give bs reviews so i think i should get a chance to do merits.demerits as they would.

Sorry? My post is directly above yours and is clearly not off-topic.

SuperMooseman

Not that one. The one you replied to garey about. I can see deleted posts and they are both there still.

I like the idea, but maybe make it an optional thing. If you feel like it, do it. If you don't like it, don't put it in... Then again that might be easier said than done...

I think player reviews need to be completely remastered. That includes drastically increasing the minimum word count, bringing back the 0.1 scale, adding in the good and bad section, and possibly adding the medals and demerits.
