Epyo Posted August 6, 2004 Gameranking's front page: On 8/3 the PC received a new game from Activision titled Doom 3. Since then 13 sites and magazines have reviewed it including Inside Gamer Online, XGP Gaming, Gamers Depot and Telefragged. Together their reviews have resulted in an average ratio of 93.1%. That ratio has resulted in this title becoming the 26th best game of all time and the 5th best game on the PC. For those of you that don't know, GameRankings automatically goes around websites and finds all the ratings it can find for a game. Then it looks at just the main trusted review sites, and averages them. EDIT: woops here's the front page http://www.gamerankings.com/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Dron Posted August 6, 2004 Interesting... 26th best game of all time that's a pretty damn good! (Now if only my computer could handle it) 0 Share this post Link to post
Endureth Posted August 6, 2004 You decide. To me reviews don't mean squat. I play what I like and over half the games that scored higher I wouldn't have even given the time of day when it was released. 100% Quest for Glory I (VGA Version) 98.3% Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 98.0% Pro Bass Fishing 96.7% Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 95.0% Thief Gold 95.0% Space Quest (VGA Version) 94.9% Half-Life 94.9% Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 94.3% Command and Conquer 93.8% Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn 93.7% Quake 93.7% Civilization II 93.5% Unreal Tournament 2004 93.4% Unreal Tournament 93.4% Starcraft: Brood War 93.4% Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 93.2% Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness 93.1% Doom 3 ----- 85.0% Doom 82.7% Doom II 93.1% Doom 3 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted August 6, 2004 I can't believe Pro Bass Fishing beat Doom 3.... ID! YOU GOT BEAT BY A FISHING VIDEO GAME! 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted August 6, 2004 A fishing game, a bloody fishing game.....come on, what kind of LIST is this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted August 6, 2004 Heh End where'd you get that from? Go here make the minimum reviews 10, and limit results to 100. Today we're pushed back to 70th, but we only have 17 reviews while most of the games have 30 or even 100, so the rank is bound to change. And of course zelda's ocaraina of time tops the list, I hate that game :) 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted August 6, 2004 A FISHING game got a 98%? What in the hell...? You have to be kidding me here. The only three games on that list (other than Doom3 of course :P) I'd be willing to play would be Thief Gold, Quake, and Half Life. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted August 6, 2004 oh, well you must have messed up PC too, I end up with GTA:Vice City being first, then Half-Life, and no fishing games at all in the top 30. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epistax Posted August 6, 2004 I don't mind if every platform is included-- it sure makes it more interesting. Link to the past? Final Fantasy VI? Doom 1? EXCITE BIKE!!!! err yeah 0 Share this post Link to post

Endureth Posted August 6, 2004 Your list doesn't even have Pro Bass Fishing on it which scored a 98%. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/589755.asp You just copied and pasted, I did research. But we both got our info from the same site, therefore the site is FUBAR and shouldn't be trusted. -E 0 Share this post Link to post
