EPTMaybe you'll argue that even if a game has only 100 ratings, it's because it's newer or isn't as popular. Do you realize that to be one of the "greatest of all time" a game doesn't just need favorable reviews? That it needs to revolutionize, to blaze a new path? If a game manages to please 38 K people, it's more general. If you make a very specific kind of game, it might get a 100% approval by the few hundred who play it, but if you make a general kind of game that around 40,000 people both play and like, it means that you

Also, if a game has some missing feature that everyone makes a big deal about, that could lead to massive low score voting as a result regardless of the quality of the actual game (see Starcraft 2 on Amazon). | ||

With mods it's easily a top 10 PC game, but so is Morrowind and I don't see that.  | ||

djbhINDI, it utilizes the misesian framework of praxeology to describe actions. Note that this concept is a synthetic a priori in Kantian epistemology, and hence necessarily true. I only elaborated it further through the substitution of action axiom as a teleological premise for behaviorism as a root of action, due to justifications of panphysicalism and machinism that Mises himself touches upon, too. THIS IS AMAZING | ||

The OP sounded like some noobs I would run into from the philosophy department, having just read Being and Time, and wanted to apply "hermeneutical phenomenology" to some random bullshit while stringing up non-related concepts together. Not saying I'm necessarily more knowledgeable or intelligent, but this is just too hilarious. | ||

Also, in the OP, he states that the methodology is "purely a stable, non-feedback system." But then, proceeds to ask how this objective truth acts as "feedback to consumer preference at the individual level." The data is already consumer preference at an individual level. There is no reason to ask any questions, the answer is already presented. Many individual's who gave reviews on the site you cited prefer the games you listed. This does not require deconstruction. I've been trolled into responding in this thread 4 times. | ||

I was merely stating that the OP, in trying to combine wholly disparate ideas into this "objectivity framework", IS post-modernist in nature. You would disagree? | ||
