[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6785454, member: 6701872"] I don't actually think "there are other games you'd like more" and "you won't like this game" are synonyms, so I don't really think that "the (admittedly slim margined) majority of players that have bothered to give their input on the topic recommend this game" loses any of its weight just because there are other games which a majority of players that have given their input on recommend them and happen to be more of a majority. Also, I have to wonder if the reason why there isn't a larger percentage of games on steam with a lower rating has to do with that in order to get a rating in the first place a game has to actually look good enough to convince people to play it, and then those that get drawn in to playing have to care enough to actually provide feedback - and when a game is a real stinker, it is usually obvious and it is avoided without any bad reviews, and some portion of folks that do try it out and find it to be bad don't "waste time" on a review that states "yes, this game is as bad as it looks."
