Well, I had teachers who used a similar rating system when marking tests...

Well, excuse me for being a little rash, but this system is completely stupid. A teacher using it is over my mind... Why start by thinking that someone is at the beginning perfect and then get lower and lower by it's action instead of thinking that someone is a newborn at first and then evolve into a better being?

If anything, please start at 1 and then add up points... A 1 point game is practically impossible, only a select few should have it. Same for 5 on 5 too!

Hey, I never said it was a good teacher. Anyway, for what it's worth, I agree with you that it's is not a particularly fair way of rating games, but at least there is some reasoning behind it. In my opinion that's still far better than the "this sux"-syllogism:
1. Everything I don't like sucks.
2. I don't like this game.
3. This game sucks.

On a slightly different note: I don't quite understand why people insist on rating games they've only played for ten minutes or sometimes not at all. What's the point?

Most of games must be in between 2 and 4 but the problem is that there are many reviewers and we didn´t got the same ranking system so i found games that for me are a 4 with a 2. For this do you got a popular rating of people who played it and a reviewer´s rating and it is epected that the reviewer is a kind of specialist of gendre. Cuz if i review a RPG i will give 1 or 2 no matter who good rpg it was. k:


repetitive missions -1 (i didn´t found that missions are repetitive, some times it must be more automated like when u march without fight to get out of the level. In other hand is very nice done the premision planing and have some times the option of use different plans, this last is mostly not avaible)
sound -1 k:
manga theme -1 Why? what do u means with manga theme? sorry but i didn´t get it.


5-4=1 From where comes the 5?



Satisfied: 1 - 3 = -2



By the way i found many times the word suicide mision just cuz u can expect the lost of some team members but in the last one (operation Power Dolls)... it is a really suicide mision?

All right, stop smiley-spamming, will you?

Is the manual not working, or are you just saying it's badly written?

Erm, sorry, that wasn't addressed to you, actually, but to somebody who said something rude about the manual and then plastered his second post with smurf smileys. The posts seem to have been deleted, though.

At least he wasn't some "where can I gte teh grlz nyood" posting fool like there are many, many of.

Oh and to comment on your "this sucks" comments, A.J. I must say that "dis r teh suk" is also fine, as it shows that some genuine effort has been made to speak like a remedial gibbon.

You can delete my posts all you want to but that doesn't change the fact that the manual isn't extracting.

And with that said:

Why not try harder to extract it and/download the manual from somewhere else then?

Or just play the game and find stuff out for yourself?
