I was just looking at lots of the really highly rated games and I found don't push the button, Lol-sumthinorother, and I noticed the this ROX series are A quality? I'm I missing somthing? I thought the highest rated games were for those classic RPGs that set the standard for quality. Now it's cluttered up with gag reviews...

The grade system is redundant. Enjoyment is based on opinion, which differs from person to person.

Most people in this community don't know how to grade in reviews anyway - they're all infected with the public school system's "90% is an A, 59% is an F" idea, while in reviewing, it should be more like "5/10 is a C."
Also, they aren't joke reviews, the authors of the reviews genuinely enjoyed the games/OHRmovies. In most of those reviews, the humor is what the reviewer is focusing on, not the quality as a game. The OMGTIZROXORZ series doesn't contain any games, anyway, they're all OHR movies (ie, no interaction).
Basically, don't look at the grade. The grade is meaningless. Read the actual review, see what the reviewer actually had to say. Grades are for lazy people. |

I tend to bias my grades towards enjoyment, to be honest, but I DON'T follow the school system. An F- is 0%, period. And A+ is 100%, period.
And if you played OMFG TIT ROXORS, you'd realize why people like it so much.

Dude, have you ever even played Lolsidothaldremobine? That is one of the classics, and it set a hella lot of standards. Just because it has a humorous name doesn't mean the thing's not brilliant.
Play it, you'll see what I mean. |
