Title: ChameleonMan Ratings Discussion
Post by: bluemonkmn on 2006-02-21, 06:59:26 AM
Below is a transcript of the conversation from the rating comments for ChameleonMan so I can remove the irrelavent portions from the project listing:

Umm... what is the scale for the score?? Is it out of 5, or out of 6??? I didn't think this game was that good. It was boring in many palces and the graphics aren't as good as the reviewer states. Very unprofessional review and lots of misleading pros in this review. The graphics are ugly and the gameplay is monotonous(sp?).

I would have enjoyed a better review; a more reliable review. I would have given it a three star. It's a polished game, with decent music, and a funny setting. That is it.

There is no definite maximum to this scale. Everything is relative. In my opinion, there was no other game in this listing as good as this game, overall.

There was no need to remove my rating, sir. I is merely my opinion. Don't offended when others have differing opinion from you. It makes you look like an imature child, whose not getting his way.

Thank you.

All the ratings for all projects were removed, not just yours. Please take further discussion on the topic to the forums because there is a notice and reason for this, and it is only temporary.

Also, to "hebedaymun", please refrain from profanity in ratings comments. Comments with profanity will be deleted.

okay, okay. Delete that post. I'll restate what I said in it anyway. This game is a disaster in the game play department; it's just repetitive and boring. Not my type. Your rating is off by about...2-3 stars. That's my opinion. Do you have to deal with that? Yes. Quite being a whiney baby and except people have differing opinions.

Also, I notice that this..."BillyBob" ...person is always on the forums with you. He's your freind, there for you feel pressured to give it a good rating. Another thing I think persuaded your '6 outa 5' star rating is that he worked on it for 1 and a half years. BIG WHOOP! Look, Fable for the Xbox was worked on for quite some time, and it came out as a complete disapointment. You don't have to rate something high just because it's been in development for a long time, it's just silly and makes it look like you're a complete amatuer and unprofessional individual. My opinion? ...you guessed it! Yes. Deal with it.

*shakes head* Some people are just born ignorant sheep (Bluemnkmn).

*walks out*

Can you accept that 6 stars is *my* rating? I'm not complaining about your opinion, so see if you can let me have mine without name calling.

On to the real question: do you think all the 5 and 4 star games in the listing are better than this one? I rated this game the way I did because I don't know of any game in this listing that's as good and complete as this one overall. That was my opinion. And nowhere have I said that 5 stars is the maximum rating. It's just the rating that the best game I had seen had before this game came along. I think this game was better than my own best game, which should be a clue that I'm trying not to be biased here. Of course I don't claim to be completely unbiased -- the "staff rating" (star rating) is a subjective rating and represents *my* opinion of the games.

Hey man, you're the one who removed our reviews for this game! Don't be such a hypocrite! We gave it a low score and you got offended. I believe that is some way of complaining. Man, you really need to look a deeper into your actions before going off saying something like, "I'm not complaining about your opinion." It makes ya look stupid!

Quote from: hebedaymun
Okay, fine. you're right, I'm being a hypocrite. I didn't really know that you never said that 5 wasn't the highest. I take back what I said about you being stupid or whatever, but not about how this game is very poor. My opinion. Also, I wont take back the comment about you being an unprofessional little kid in a grown (wait a minute, you, grown? Why, that's an oxymoron!) man's ...body.

have a good day!

*walks out shaking head*

Like I said, read the forums for an explanation of what happened with the rating system, your original rating from the top of these comments has not been removed. This topic does not belong here so I will move any further discussion on it to the forums.

Okay then, on to the forums I suppose. I'll make an account there.

This is starting to piss me off.  That little twit in the listing who was posting in the same...discussion section WAS NOT ME.  Why the hell are you assuming so much?  I don't understand that.  You need to stop it, please, there other people out there(I guess) That disagree with whatever your score is.

*walks out shaking head*

It was an honest mistake.  All the comments seemed to be saying similar things so I thought you just neglected to enter a name on a few of them.  So I decided to put your name on them, certain that you'd correct me if I assumed too much ;).  If you can help me sort out which were yours and which were not, I'd be happy to correct it.

Thanks for that.  So, are you saying that was a test or something?  heh heh, you people here are a riot.  It was 1, 2, and 4.  The ones that aren't mine, I mean.

Okay, cool, you got it.  Thanks.

*walks out*

uuhhhhhhhhh.... what the hell happened to my rating, sir!?  Like I said your being a hypocrite for deleting it!  I let you have your opinion, so let me have mine!  Okay!?

Also, why are my messages removed?

All this nonsense of trying to maintain discussion in the proper place is giving me difficulty.  Your messages have been moved to the forum and your rating has been restored.  If you want to discuss anything beyond your opinion of a specific game, please do so here.

i just got done finishing this game ( i especially liked the humor, especially in the final boss battle) i think this game also deservs the rating, its OVER what sgdk can do (how do you create tilesets LARGER than 128x128?)

was this game made on an XP computer, because when i opened the install program, it installed the XP versions of some drivers in place of my win98 ones and crashed my computer. eventually i had to reinstall winodws and open the file in 7-zip to extract everything but the XP files (it still works)

 :scared: One more reason to just distribute just the GDP projects and not full installs.  Oops.  I'm surprised Vista didn't have some system file protection preventing that, auto-restoring the proper system files or something.
