What's wrong with ratings nowadays
After suffering through this for a long time, I have finally decided to make my rants public. This may offend some people, but that's life.
1.) [GRAMMAR] For a very long time, the spelling and grammar on reviews has been degrading. It is now so big a problem that you usually can't tell what people are even trying to say.
Here's a prime example:
Quote:

Hhmm... This is an very strange boss. Also, he doesnt hurt you! that's bad for an boss. They are bulded to KILL an rabbit! Also, he can't die! Well he can but thats only with an Laser-Shield!
|
Now, not only is the spelling bad, but the grammar is bad to the point where you can't even understand what the poor soul who wrote it is trying to say. This is just one example out of many. For Heaven's sake, people, if you're going to write a review, make it understandable! No, I don't mean to slave over missing apostraphes or anything, but that it's not fair to the rest of us if you make your review with no grammatical structure.
2.) [FACTS NEEDED] This one is a bit more of just my opinion, but I think there's a serious problem with people giving facts to back up their statements in reviews. I mean, look at this:
Quote:
Wow. Highly cool. (:
The spaceship level is so incredibly cool that it's scary. (:
|
Does that tell anything about the level's eye candy? Does it say WHY the spaceship level is so incredibly cool? No. All it says is that this person ejoyed the level. While it's good to know an individual's opinion on a level, I personally like to know WHY the individual enjoyed it. That could just be me.
Fun quotes from reviews (no names attached to prevent flaming)
"Overall - good for your first try. You'll get higher rating in part 2, if you remove things that make me confusing."
"Ok, long time ago I reviewed a level."
"COOOOL! HOW U CAN DRAW SO GOOD WITH MSPAINT.EXE???"
