I propose a new rating system to rate how good a video game is. The ratings are, from worst to best:

FAIL, fail, lame, :/, :o, :O, :O!

Discuss.

[Crowbar]

I wholeheartedly support this.

Although part of me feels that "win" and "WIN" should logically be the opposite of "fail"and "FAIL".

[P.P.A.]

BS should be worst.

[Taillow]

BS, FAIL, fail, lame, :/, :o, :O, :O!, win, WIN
Now discuss.

[The T]

That one has too many levels.

[P.P.A.]

BS, fail, lame, :/, :o, :O

[JBertolli]

BS, FAIL, fail, lame, :/, :o, :O, :O!, win, WIN
Now discuss.

Naw, I like that, it is almost like 1-10. SONIC HEROES GETS A WI*apparently shot down in the middle of his sentence, please stand by*

[eggFL]

Wouldn't it be just better to use lolwhut, /me, ITT, I wholeheartedly approve this, and BLAZIN?

[P.P.A.]

FAIL, lolwhut, lame, no u, /me, :o, :O, yeaa, BLAZIN, TSC

[Spinballwizard]

I vote that >:O!!!!! be in there somewhere as I added it to the chat topic a while ago.

And to piss RPG off. <_<

[Bilan]

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

NOT THE FAEC D:

[P.P.A.]

BS, fail, lulwhut, lame, no u, :/, /me, :o, yeaa blazin', TSC

[CosmicFalcon]

Best rating = Bouncy

kthx.

[Alondite]

Agreed. Bouncy = ultimate proness

[Telnaior]

BS, FAIL, fail, lame, :/, :o, :O, :O!, win, WIN
Now discuss.

I vote this one!

EDIT: stupid IE. submitting my post in the middle of typing it...

And whilst on the topic, Sonic Heroes does get a WIN.

* JDGA cleverly dodges bullet headed towards him by travelling at the speed of sound

Double Edit: fixing my bad /me code. Again...

Triple Edit:

* JDGA  decides to point out that he is biased against Mario (aka stupid fat italian plumber) and automatically (and officially) gives all Mario games released, in progress, and ever to come a BS!

MOZILLA FIREFOX ANYONE?

Edit: who removed my quote html >_>?

[magnum12]

I'd rather have the rating system be BS, S&A, FAIL, fail, meh, ok, win, WIN, yse, TSC. Now, for some examples of games that get these respective ratings.
BS: ET
S&A: Silver Surfer (NES), Gilligan's Island (NES)
FAIL: Sonic06, MMX6
fail: SA2, MMX7
meh: Sonic the Fighters, MM6
ok: Sonic Battle
win: SH, MMX8
WIN: ShtH, SA:DX, MMZ2, MMZX, SRA, SR
yse: Disgaea 2, MMZ3, SAdv3, Tales of the Abyss, MVC2, Alien vs Predator (arcade)
TSC: MM2, S3&K, Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda, OoT

[DsSaster]

I propose that lame be put in the rating system. o:

[ChaoRC]

BS, S&A, FAIL, lame, >:O, meh, ok, WIN, yse, TSC, Bouncy.

The new rating system. Treasure it! o:

Sa2 should be ranked way higher.

ZX much lower.

Sa2 should be ranked way higher.

ZX much lower.

This coming from someone who thinks that Bomberman Act Zero is a good game. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/929921.asp http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=724339
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/931475.asp?q=Mega%20Man%20ZX Most people would disagree with the rather bogus opinion that ZX is a bad game because it has fun, deep combat with extremely well polished controls (the controls in X7 even in 2D suck), and loads of extra content

SA2 is ranked that way because its very over rated. Only 1/3 of the game (Sonic & Shadow stages) is actually good, but its still full of glitches (all glitches are innately bad in terms of a game's quality because they exist) and a homicidal camera. 8/10 The shooter sections are merely average (even though some of the stages are cool). Basically slower, clunkier versions of Gamma stages with a worse camera (particullary when going backwards). 5/10. The hunting stages are just plain crap. They actually manage to be worse than their SA counterparts. The radar system is worse and to make things worse, these lousy stages get MORE weight than in SA, at the expense of more speed stages. 1/10. Not to mention the driving stages weren't very fun. 4/10. 8/10+5/10+4/10+1/10 (Only game play has any weight in my reviews. I mention graphics and sound solely as secondary comments ) =18/40= 4.5/10 = fail.

You're a gamerankings tool. I don't respect that. Even though you like Heroes and Shadow more than SA2 you still use your gamerankings. And that aside, who said anything about Bomberman Act Zero.

Two can play this game you know. Here are some review quotes copied straight off the short synopsis'es on metacritic.com. This is copied and pasted as a matter of fact from MMN forum where I was telling Megaman fanboys that ZX is retarded:

"Outside of the somewhat confusing world map, I just can’t think of a single complaint about the game" - Gaming Age
"Despite the implications of its poorly designed map, Mega Man ZX is still extremely enjoyable and rewarding." - Gamedaily
"While much of the gameplay is similar to what you've seen before, the wretched map system makes Mega Man ZX merely tolerable, rather than enjoyable." - Worth Playing
"Notably, the nonlinear world gives some freedom to the series--but at a cost." - EGM
"It's more of an interesting but unfocused experiment than a tight, compelling Mega Man game." - Games Radar
"This isn’t the best Mega Man game ever made, but those with the patience to tolerate the game’s flawed attempt to add depth to the series will find an enjoyable shooter underneath." - games™
"A terrible map system and dated graphics are only just outweighed by the classic gameplay that lies underneath. This is for die hard Mega Man fans only." - Gamestyle
"Mega Man ZX isn’t bad, with smooth graphics and fun, intuitive play mechanics, but its shallow Biometals and terrible map will leave you lost and under-stimulated." - Game Revolution

Mega Man ZX metracritic score - 76
The four Megaman Zero games scored 82, 81, 77, and 77 respectively.

How is Megaman ZX an improvement from Megaman Zero on GBA? Voiced dialogue? oops, those were removed. ZX is Zero with asinine design, unwanted town missions and navigational puzzles, kiddified feel.. otherwise it's the same.

btw I had planned a comic that would debut you as a character... that was going to spoof Megaman ZX. You and Rolken would be in it. (interestingly, Rolk is in it just for the Bomberman Act Zero reference) You will see. I was going to talk about ZX sucks a little more but I'll save it for the comic, as it deals with one of my particular peeves with ZX.

But forget about that I guess. Still SA2 should be a bit higher than "fail" since it is anything but. It's generally considered the first or second best 3D Sonic. It's Sonic stages were tighter than SA1's imo. Also loo, the Knuckles stages are not crap. The way I see it SA2 is in every way an improvement over SA1 especially regarding graphics, controls, and polish. But it takes out town stages and splits up the characters so that's where complaints arise. Sure Sonic is only 1/3 of the game. That 1/3 alone is enough.

Less arguing about what games should be rated and more arguing about what rating levels should be rated.

okgo.
