Sammy's Rating Scale
Saw people doing this and thought it would be fun to do. I am nothing but a follower of trends lmao. Plus I dig seeing how people treat their rating scales and what they tend to look for in the art they engage with so been really neat to see!
I tend to not put a toooon of stock into my ratings, especially since I tend to give a lot of shit high scores, but I still think it's fun to think about and kinda deconstruct how I look at the ratings that I give the things I play and experience. I will also take literally any excuse to make a list.

Agreed, especially since Toriyama absolutely can and has done better than that writing wise both before and since then so it's a bizarre ass misstep. They all just let their brains go into horny autopilot with that one though I'm also of the opinion that Tabata's track record both before and afterwards especially doesn't help things at all on his side of it.
The 3rd Birthday. Only cause I can't score it a 0 does it get a .5....
Same! If I could somehow give it a negative score I would. Just totally despise that travesty it sucks so much.
Based MGS4 score.
I'd do something like this but I honestly don't put much thought into the scores I give. They're more emotional I guess, just based on how I feel at the time of writing the review and reflecting on the game. I think the best way I can explain it is like "how much do I want to replay this while talking about it." People off-site give me shit for giving out so many 2.5's but to me that's like, 50/50 good/bad.
Anyway, maybe I should put more thought into it. I think you back up what scores mean to you here pretty well and it's interesting to see someone's thought process in such a detailed way.

I'm the same way weatherby, plus i bump scores up and down all the time depending on how im feeling
@Weatherby Yeah it's one of those things where I'm not putting the heaviest stock into it either but I do like thinking about it from time to time so I can totally get people who don't want to or don't generally do this kinda thing.
Hell, sometimes my mood can shift around a game or how something has stuck with me over a long period of time (brought up Bullet Witch from a 2 to a 3 recently cause honestly even with all that games problems I love it so much for what it's trying to do).
Also yeah fuck MGS4! A few great moments and ideas can never cover whatever the fuck they were doing with the writing overall. Maybe one day I'll write a thing about it but that would require me to replay it again and I'm not ready to do that yet lmao.

I feel that way about every Kojima game. The writing is always abysmal XD
