[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5744854, member: 50895"] While I can't account for E-Bay nor Amazon (I never look at their reviews because I never buy products through those platforms), however, looking at RPG review sites and sites like RPGNow or Paizo - I basically disagree with your point of view - on this point, specifically. While some reviewers use a 10 scale, most of the sites I visit feature reviews based on a 5 scale. Here is the latest review of my most recently released product, and to my disappointment, it's a 3/5 rated review. If you read the review you will note that Endzeitgeist does not give the implication that this product is a 3 star (you suck) rating, rather it speaks rather highly of many of the aspects of a good publication. His expectations were a bit different than my intentions in the product. Where I didn't want to go 'over the top', End took it as being somewhat bland - a difference of opinion. As stated above, I take reviews seriously and am looking at how I can improve the product based on points in his review, however, I am hip deep in the development of the next product, [B]Way of the Samurai[/B], which is a similar faction book. As in improvement in the upcoming product versus the yakuza book, we have additional designers working on the class archetypes for more creativity and varying points of view - this should make Samurai a better product than Yakuza. I plan to make updates to [B]Way of the Yakuza[/B], but that won't happen until after the release of [B]Way of the Samurai[/B], but I will try to fix it based on this review. Link to the [B][URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=96752"]Way of the Yakuza[/URL][/B] review by Endzeitgeist to prove my point. [/QUOTE]
