"This or that?" vs "Rate this out of 10"

People can prefer something to something else and still not highly rate it while that something else gets highly rated by a much smaller group of people who are familiar enough with it.

Yeah its why Mario and Phoenix Wright, despite being absolute monsters in every board contest in existence, cant even make the top ten in this where games that are liked but not played by everyone seem to do better in

ok maybe I can see AAI2 or GAA2 sneak back on here (or T+T gets back in just through some ratings)

I would be interested to see what a weighted ranking taking into consideration number of votes would look like. Like, say you take the game with the highest number of votes, use that number to divide from 10, then multiply the sum with the number of votes received for each game.

You then divide that by either 5 or 10 and add it to whatever 80% or 90% of the game's actual score was (for example, if a game got 8, 90% of that score would be 7.2) to get a score that takes number of votes into account.

Very hard to rate. I wasn't as engaged with this one as the previous games, and there some major issues with it. On the other hand, using it to spend time with my friends all throughout the pandemic is an experience that can't be matched.

Then there's Resident Evil 4, with an insane 9.23 from 48 votes

RE4 wasn't just a generational game, it was an industry changing game. On top of being on an already pretty popular franchise.

Truly one of the GOATS.

On this subject, I feel like knocking Umineko down a peg. I played over half of it and wasn't too impressed unlike with Higurashi.

Umineko - 6.5

It's kind of wild Umineko only got 12 ratings. I guess a lot of the fanbase has either left the board or they just don't vote in stuff like this.
