NG Scoring System 2005-03-16 13:59:58


Does anyone think it would be easier for NG to add an N/A to their scoring system, so people don't have to rate interactivity as '0' all the time? It just looks stupid otherwise.

i think it is fine as is.

wtf are u talkin bout? is it really that hard to hit zero?

Response to NG Scoring System 2005-03-16 14:01:51


...I like the current review system... a zero would be considered N/A...I usually score a 1 for a preloader...and a play button...2 and above are for games...


well, like, you couldn't, like, find it because, like, you're dumb, god

Wade came up with this idea like 2 or so years ago. he made a poll about it, it was decided to keep the 0-5 voting system.

i dunno, its just a suggestion. Like there's no point in actually rating a movie on interactivity.

oh, ok then. I'll shut up now then ;-)

yes,indeed.
a n/a would be useful for some of the scoring boards.

what would be better is different review boards for movies and games

He's talking about reviews, not the voting panel. Reviews have several different categories to rate a movie in. I agree in the N/A would be good to have, but as the category ratings don't affect the overall review score it's not that big of a deal as most people understand 0 to mean N/A in flashes that category does not apply to.

I don't really care about rating a 0 for interactivity all the time.
I do think you should be able to rate the storyline. Some movies have really good storylines and I really think it's too bad you can't rate it.

i agree, since most reviews i've seen are given 0 for interactivity when i'm looking at a movie, they should have the N/A thingy

Yes there is, what about the preloader, and play buttons? What if it has pause, stop, play, rewind, fast foward buttons? Or a chapter/scene select? How about them replay buttons? Those are nice to have.

Yeah, so there are just a couple of reasons to rate interactivity right there. Besides, it's the user who gives the movie it's overall score for the reviews, so it's not like giving a zero completely hurts the score for the review of a movie.

Another thing, it might be nice to add this to the review system....... but I see it as just something that would get abused sooner or later. like people giving a movie an overall score of 10, but leaving N/A for the categories of the flash, for the review.
