im not surprised that Insanely Important Respected Fun But Early video games like this and donkey kong have weird ass rating trends and averages considering that mfs on here with their "objective rating scale" are gonna look at this like "ah but how does the pacman arcade cabinet compare to Dark Souls"

true, people are biased against highscore-focused arcade games

There’s a lot of literature out there that I can fully acknowledge as having great historical and material import but I still find just okay or even not worth reading in comparison to works that came after.

@umenozo that's a good take, and i wouldn't have deleted your second comment. i shouldn't care about ratings so much. however, the charts DO make it easier to mock this site's users.
*good point, not good take. i will say tho i thought the same way until i started picking up some of the non moby-dick-mc-mark-twain books. i like crime and punishment more than most things

I deleted it cause it came off as rude and I didn't want to sound adversarial, I am glad you realized my intent. Just one of those things where I don't want to risk someone misjudging my tone, since we don't know eachother.

As to the lit point, I think there's reasons why classics are considered classics so I don't blame you for feeling that way. More to the point, we can credit the developers for being the first to push the medium in such a way. I think this illustrates my point though, that ratings are so arbitrary and a lot of people might not value things like that.

giving pac-man two and a half stars for not having any boss fights or action rpg combat or romance options (ok maybe pac-man might actually be better if pac-man could date the ghosts...)
