I ...Hi CheezBorger, welcome! The more the merrier!<br /><br />I actually considered this when I was thinking about doing a full survival-horror blog, maybe I could add one category especially for each series. I'll look into it... Scare meter for survival works great, but any suggestion for zelda?Alfred n the Fettuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586336731691674651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350406717246383583.post-20884622387838504052012-03-12T12:25:04.975-07:002012-03-12T12:25:04.975-07:00Hello there. I just started following this blog, a...Hello there. I just started following this blog, and it looks very interesting so far. I look forward to future posts. I thought of a change to the COWARD system, especially for horror games. You could use COWARDS, with the final 'S' being the number of times you had the shit scared out of you. Of course this won't work for Zelda.<br /> Keep up the good work.CheezBorgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132444570310878013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350406717246383583.post-30869268782164364122012-03-01T10:51:43.677-08:002012-03-01T10:51:43.677-08:00I get your concerns, because these two categories ...I get your concerns, because these two categories are the ones I had the hardest time to grade. For Cleverness, it's mainly for the resource management mechanics and the feeling of freedom that I liked. As for Originality, it's a category that I really hesitated to include in the rating system, mainly because it's kinda flawed when you're working on game series. Resident Evil's story is cliché (reflected by the low Writing mark) but it had a major influence on the video game medium.<br /><br />I'm still working on the COWARD system, though, so it may get some readjustments in the next ratings...<br /><br />Thanks for the congratulations, and thanks for the comments ;)Alfred n the Fettuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586336731691674651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350406717246383583.post-89707879631347001502012-03-01T09:48:36.961-08:002012-03-01T09:48:36.961-08:00I know the numbers are mostly arbitrary, but I did...I know the numbers are mostly arbitrary, but I didn't get a feeling from your writing why 'Cleverness' and 'Originality' received above average marks. You mentioned the puzzles are fairly similar, and the writing is cliché, but 'Originality' gets good marks?<br /><br />In any case, congratulations on getting through your first game. I'm looking forward to the next two.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.com
