If there's one thing my reviews have going, it's consistency. How so? Consistent in that my score for a game is in the bottom 20% of all reviews, even when my review is positive. Let's check it:


GameMy ScoreAverageTotal ReviewsReviews LowerPercentile
Dragon's Dogma6.077.9026311.5
Persona 48.649.2439615.4

Radiata Stories7.027.62492142.9
Final Fantasy XII6.649.087122.8
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass5.678.887300.0
Battalion Wars 27.417.43421638.1
Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak7.257.805120.0
God of War7.809.369222.2
Forza Motorsport5.139.318100.0
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 23.237.753500.0
Pokemon Pearl5.958.504800.0

Of my most recent 19 reviews, only 2 are above the 20th percentile in scores, and if my review for Radiata Stories had been 0.03 lower, it would have been below the 12 7/10 reviews it got and put it squarely at the 18th percentile as opposed to it being the most inline with popular opinion of any game I reviewed.

Compare this to the 7 of the 19 games that would have the lowest score on gamerankings of any review for that game, with Forza taking the top honours as it was the worst of 81 reviews.

My average review score was 6.33 vs. gameranking's 8.16.  I also gave out 8 reviews of 7/10 or higher, while gamerankings doled out an impressive 17.

And the best stat of all, I did not have a single review with a higher average than gamerankings.

Try and match that consistency with anywhere else.  Not gonna find it.

You hate everything, others love everything. I'm someone who thinks most games fit into the 80-90% category

I have not reviewed a single game. Can't be more consistent than that, can you?
