A personal game or item rating system?
« on: September 23, 2014, 10:28:12 pm »
Seen this implemented on another database website. Maybe something like a 1 to 5 or half star to 5 (10), item rating option. Even better if it could show in your collection next to notes.

On a similar note, why is it that price, and a date of purchase remain hidden after entered?

I would like a personal rating system for games, as an option to highlight liked and disliked games, because that's always helpful whenever you're interested in purchasing a certain game.

I don't understand why the prices don't show up as well, when you look at the item in your collection, or even in the edit section of the item.

It would be kinda neat to see the combined rating for a game from all users on the game's page in the database. I have no idea how easy or difficult to implement though, so it's just a thought and not really a request.

This is true.

But, there's already SO MANY places & sites that do exactly this (and, there's always reading reviews and/or plain, old fashioned asking & talking to people about specific games)...

...Seems completely beyond & not the scope/focus of a collection-based / database site.

Maybe I just really want to know how all you wonderful people here feel about the games in the database. ;) For sure though, there's lots of other places to get reviews and ratings. Not to mention people talk about how they feel about games a lot in the forum already. Aggregate scores are usually a bit iffy anyways, since not everyone scores things the same way. Two people might have enjoyed a game just a much as one another, but one of them might give it an 8/10 and the other guy gives it a 9/10. That's my 2 cents anyways.
