It would be kind of cool to make a forum with a locked thread for every Neo-Geo Aes/MVS/CD release with a 11 question poll, rating the game from 1 to 10, with the 11th answer for "never played". Then everyone could vote on the games they've played and people can get an idea at a glance how good a game is before they bought it.

This would be a good idea if we could make sure that the only people that rated the games were those with well-informed opinions. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the case I'm afraid.

I just figure in the long run (50+ votes or so) the majority of votes would be in about the right place.

Perhaps, but I'd still say that you'd probably be better off just going to say, gamespot, to get reviews of games.

However, for older games, reviews are pretty scarce, so that might be something to look into.

i would create 1000 fake accounts and rate losj as the best neo game ever on each and every one of them. every other game would get the never played treatment.

not a horrible idea really, but the idea of a forum with 250+ threads with nothing but polls screams nightmare. unless you disabled posting and just allowed people to vote, maybe.

still doubt it would make much of a difference.

the reviews section is a better way to find out about a game. Insstead of letting someone just say "it sucks" people have to write out why, and take time. Less faggotry going on

unless we get glucose joe here.

in which case the faggotry never ends.

Yeah, some of the games arn't rated though. And my suggestion would be closing the forum to all non mod posting, and locking the threads. I like informed reviews better, but noone writes them any more.

That's because noone actually reads them anymore, most ppl just skim through the review text to see the rating and read the author's conclusion, so why doing in-depth and detailed writeups if ppl don't seem to care.
