- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Coming from the majority of people I'd take that as an insult, but considering it took you three years amongst hundreds of hours of forum trolling to accomplish... this...thing..

Ok. Your opinion.
Not everyone likes those kinds of games, that's very true. I myself found it very cute and appealing, but drop-dead frustrating after the 42 try. Though I would never rate it 0 because of my own inability to master the gameplay. Maybe 2~4 in my opinion. And why I wouldn't down-vote it is because;
1.) The gfx are on par with ANY snes game
2.) The presentation was magnificent
3.) The gameplay was hard but fair. If I don't touch the space bar, no harm will become me.
4.) The consistency of it. It's a completed project. It goes from A to Z and does not differ on the way.
5.) The overall feeling of professionality throughout the game.
Those things make me not want to down-rate it, because there are quite too many games here at TDC who are the complete opposite to the above stated criterias, at least in my sense.
haha Well what does everyone think about using the same rating system as the review one?
Presentation:
Gameplay:
Graphics:
Sound and Music:
Lastability:
There would be 10 stars instead of 5, and the overall rating would be the average of those 5 ratings. Everyone's score would be more specific. While at the same time having an accurate representation of one's opinion in a way that is not questionable, but justified by those five ratings.
Why is it perfectly fine to give a game 5 stars without giving a reason but you're expected to give a reason for voting 0 stars? Also why attack phred's opinion on the game even if it is a bit over the top? Everyone got one chance to vote and they did, end of story.
Oh yeah btw Phred did give a reason.
I could start complaining every time is see someone voting 5 stars saying it's obviously just their friends voting to raise the overall rating. If you want everyone to give you better scores make a better game.
You can not possible rate everything zero without it also being widely accepted by everyone else that the game is in fact crap. See people like you can easily say well the gameplay is crap, but that does not mean anything. Why? Because you just made an opinionated statement as if it were a fact without any information to back up your claim. Meaning nothing else you say holds any relevance, because you can not even defend that of which you believe in.
Make the rating system based off the review one. Even you Predreeke said that you liked the graphics on Adam's game. So by that standard even you're rating would have not been a zero.
AndyUK: Because it's a perfect example of what this thread is all about.. strange that it should happen so soon after this thread was made, yet a whole 3 or so months after I released my game. And being a regular visitor to the site (like every hour of the day), it does surprise me that it took Phredreeke so long to play and rate my game.
And if a game is worth 5 stars, isn't it self explanatory as to why it has such a high rating? It's a matter of great contrast, without sounding big headed, the game got pretty good ratings. For someone like Phredreeke (who often tries his best to get a pissed off reaction from me within the forums) to come along and rate 0 stars at this time.. it's pretty obvious it's an attack, and he doesn't actually give a flying crap about the game.
