    Default How to fairly rate a MMORPG?

    Now, I don't expect most people to know how to do that on this site. An frankly, I don't really either.

    So, does anyone with a lil more knowledge know how to truly rate a mmorpg from 1 to 10?

    sorta like a movie critic, so people can really get a grasp on the game. not just some lopsided fanboy review. you know what i mean by that.

    like is this kinda how would you do it. or something of that sort. an how would you come to decide if it gets a 4 or an 8

    graphics ++++
    gameplay+++++
    story++
    controls+
    community++

    Carefully explaining the ups and downs in detail, really it all comes down to the individual but with a good solid wall of text depicting where the game shines and fails gives the reader a decent idea of what the game is like and how it effected the reviewer.

    For reviews anyway, ratings are just rubbish to me because you might like wasd while the other likes point & click, one likes harps the other likes the screams of tortured kittens.

    reviews should be based on your own opinion first of all but then you need to take in the opinions of others and just kinda balance it out like this

    my review for trickster online-
    graphics-7-10, good for cartoony they dont try to be anything theyre not
    gameplay-6-10, slow, boring, but simple
    comunity-7-10. kinda small but those i did interact with were nice and helpful

    review after i added community's opinion-
    graphics- 5-10 they could easily step this up
    gameplay-6-10 (same as my first review)
    community- 8-10, fun, helpful, nice, but a little immature (as expected) and smaller than i would like

    like that

    ratings are just estimates of how others like something
    so you'll still find ratings ridiculous from time to time
    but at least it shows what others think

    so imo for a rating to be fair, it better count the opinions of as much people as possible ( sorta like imdb )
    and not just a overall rating, people should rate specific aspects of a game for example a seperate rating for each, graphics,gameplay,story,controls,community and support, so to make subjective opinions become objective...hmmm hope that makes sense
