Whoever gave me a C+ on Bomberman: Race For The Championship, I think you felt sorry for me. I made that crap when I was in fifth grade, I deserve nothing higher than a D.

EDIT: Never mind, sorry for this post. I admit that I sure was an emo pussy for posting something like this.

I did. I didn't give the grade out of pity. I gave it as a reward for actually putting together a comprehensive story (segment) that didn't leave me at any point wondering what in the world I was doing. Although I will be honest... I still think the graphics stink.

well, aren't we humble.

Who gave you that so called "I-felt-sorry-for-you review" anyway?
PM him.

Well, rather than ripping the graphics, I did make my own, so I should get a little credit for that I guess because it was more original. And it's good you were getting the storyline. But besides those two I see no reason the game was good.

but you do forget that a 'c' grade does not mean "good". anyone who's been through a school system where they use a's, b's, and c's know that c's basically mean 'mearly acceptable'. or 'just passable enough not to be lame'. when i gave you the grade, what i mean it to say to everyone is ('c') this is a so-so game. there are no outstanding flaws to hamper you badly enough to knock it down to a 'd' or an 'f'... but there are no outstanding points to knock it up to a 'b' or an 'a'. and ('+') while you shouldn't expect anything special from the file, the file is contstructed better than many other 'c' games i've tried.

Mmmm. Well, it's your opinion, I guess, but what I was meant was that I see no reason my game was "merely acceptable" when it was utter crap.

It's people like you that make reviewers hate their job.

The letter grade system on CP is out of whack. In theory, a 5/10 on a CP review would be considered "average" (equivalent to a C in school). So in this case, the grade probably is higher than it should be.

But the lowest you can give in terms of number grades is 1, not 0.

And a final grade is not always the average of the points given. I personally tend to skew my grade greatly towards enjoyment and gameplay. You can get a 10 graphics score and medeocre other scores and still only get around a C.

I don't see how it makes a difference if it's more recent, just who reviews it. But never mind all of this, I guess it is their opinion, even if I strongly disagree with it.
