It may contain other topics like this one. I searched, but I didn't find any decent ones... my apologies if it bothers you.
I don't actually like the Thumbs Up/Down thing. I think that nearly every good looking game should receive a thumb up. I do not vote thumbs down because if the game would have ripped graphics/wierd controls/require multiplayer/some bugs/awful level design etc etc etc...
I think that it should be the same voting as with the articles; 1-5 points, were 3 is an average game, an 1 is an awful game and 5 is a gorgeus game. If not, it would still be better if it just would be like this;
- MEGA Thumb up ... 3+
- SUPER Thumb up ... 2+
- Thumb up ... 1+
- Thumb down ... 1-
- SUPER Thumb down ... 2-
- MEGA Thumb down ... 3-
If for example, someone downloaded a game that contained ripped graphics, but still
was funny and playable, he/she could have voted a good score, but not a very high score. Instead of voting a bad score (that is in this case a "thumb down") because
of ripped graphics.
(So that you know, I just mention ripped graphics because it's a good example of proposing the subject. I don't hate them)
...
Now, is it anyone agreeing about this? Or is it just me?...
By the way, I love TDC and spend alot of time here, but... I just
think this would make it a little better.
A great game can be achieved if you but down you soul into it. A bad game will be achieved if you but down your groin into it.
I personally hate the thumbs system. I think a rating out of ten would be more suitable. Also, while you are downloading it asks you what you think of the game. How the fug do I know? I haven't played it yet! This means I just vote thumbs up if the screenshots like good. The game might be shit, but I can't be arsed waiting for me to download it, then play it.
Rapidflash: Yeah, but reviews doesn't make any difference when it comes to the top
20 games list. And it's often so few reviews too.
Noodle: I agree 100%.

I have a BETTER idea!
You should be able to buy STOCKS in all these games! The more people
buy stocks, the higher the rating of the game! AND YOU CAN SELL THE STOCKS
AFTER YOU FINISHED THE GAME SO THE RATING WILL GO DOWN AGAIN, HAR HAR HAR!
Anyone willing to propose this request to an administrator? Or will we just receive the "you should be glad that TDC exists at all" answer? Or... has it already been done several times?

Not a you should be happy TDC is here at all, but I don't see that happening before TDC2 debuts. Coding it into the system would probably take a while, and that while can be better spent on TDC2. So that's the way the system works now, but I'll throw this idea around to a few others and see if it can be implimented into the next version.
If you want to give a game a number score so badly, you could always review it.
The thumb system is good because it's simple. "Is this game crap or not?" Sure, I've been on the fence a few times, but this forces you to make a decision one way or the other. What good does it do to know something you made is a 3 out of 5?
