It was one of the things that differentiated your reviews from those elsewhere. I also got a much better and much more nuanced summary from your old system. These new numbers just don't seem as helpful.<br /><br />More importantly, I just don't think there's much humor value in numbers. A -25 for Theme just isn't as funny as "Has a penis."<br /><br />I thought the old system fit both your style and philosophy better. Stylistically, it provided you more room to be as snarky in summary as you were in the review. Philosophically, it reflected your attitude that games are too differentiated to be easily compared with numbers alone.<br /><br />If you really want a way for people to compare your opinions across games, why not just create a Drake's Hall of Fame / Drake's Hall of Shame page listing your current favorite and most hated games, with links to their reviews?<br /><br />Anyway, I liked the old way better.David N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17644166021825199337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-53319382218654173432010-07-27T18:00:56.657-07:002010-07-27T18:00:56.657-07:00LOLLOLninthdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195339126659964746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-77859505785028270122010-07-27T16:53:50.857-07:002010-07-27T16:53:50.857-07:00I give this post an A out of 5 stars.I give this post an A out of 5 stars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-38932658991087514892010-07-27T15:10:29.621-07:002010-07-27T15:10:29.621-07:00You need to play Funny Friends.You need to play Funny Friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-59032540574565591582010-07-27T08:22:25.826-07:002010-07-27T08:22:25.826-07:00A thing that would be of interest is the "buz...A thing that would be of interest is the "buzz" or "tension" of the end game.

The movies being reviewed were truly horrible. His rating system at the end was how much illicit drugs were required to make it through the movie without killing himself. Could be an option for the undeclared category.Clay Haleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694357090290175658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-74976449542727260592010-07-26T17:30:14.545-07:002010-07-26T17:30:14.545-07:00OMG!

Besi...Shut up. I'm too lazy to change my mind.<br /><br />Besides, it should end up about as useful as a fart in a whirlwind. I don't have any intention of using an actual scale. I'll give Warhammer Quest a 127, and Mutant Chronicles CMG a 0.035.
