How crazy is it that a game which consistently cracks the top 10 best games ever list receives 5s, from people here. I have little faith in the user review system here, therefore, I look at the top rated games and laugh.
I don't see the difference between the RFG user rating system and any other user rating system...since as long as anonymous members can submit any score they desire, the rating is potentially skewed. As mentioned before, though, the more people that submit ratings, the more accurate the rating, in general. For example, on imdb.com, the best movies have multiple tens of thousands of votes, and the rating averages to a high score, even though, inevitably, there are people who gave such movies a score of 1.
