So, will this suggestion EVER get any attention from GameSpot staff? Or will it be just mods who come here and don't really have any argument that could counter the one I've mentioned, therefore making me and most other people believe that it's just laziness? :P

Why do so many people want notifications for so many features on GameSpot? Do you really want this website to be as crappy as facebook, which gives you notifications for everything your friend's, friend's, friend's, friend's, friend's, friends do?

I kind of prefer the 0.5 increments, it encourages the person to read a review when comparing two games with the same score to see which is better or not and make a judgement for themselves rather than just look at the score and decide game x is better than game y.fabz_95

Yes, that's right. It encourages the person to read both reviews - but how many people actually do that... 2 out of every 10 users on the whole website? Let's face it, many people are not looking for long, descriptive walls of text about one game. So they'll want to look at the conclusion, or something at the end that sums up the good and the bad. After that, to get a final idea of the game's quality (or if there was nothing summing up the bad and good points of a game), they will look for a score. :roll: This is obvious.

I don't really care about giving thumbs up or thumbs down to comments anymore. The feature has been abused so often (even if what it was originally intended for was good) that it would be better if everyone just ignored it. On the other hand, giving thumbs up or down to reviews is an incredibly stupid feature. It should be exchanged for being able to leave comments about them, and if that's not possible because it's too much work or something in the code, then just remove it completely. Of course this has been mentioned many times over, and so was bringing back the .1 increment for user reviews - but it seems that GameSpot doesn't take notice to anything the users suggest about reviews. :(

Why was my last comment here deleted? I didn't get a message about moderation or anything so it couldn't have been offensive. :? Also, is this topic going to be ignored andforgotten like so many other people who tried to bring the .1 increments back? Or will a member of GS staff finally acknowledge the unhappines of a large fraction of users who share my views on this matter and finally do something about it, so everyone is treated equally?

[quote="JodyR"]Add User Review medals similar to GameSpot's review medals and demerits (review emblems)siberian142
It would be awesome if we were allowed to make our reviews more like how the official GameSpot reviews are set up. Would allow those who want to review the game a lot more options than what is currently allowed.

I agree, that would be fantastic. :)

I want this. And so do many other people, for a long time now. It seems that the GS staff barely ever seem to pay attention to suggestions about this particular matter. :(

Well, when you scroll down on a user's page, down to his/her reviews, the images of the games don't show up. I have a fool's hope that this is a result of editing something in the reviewing system, but it's probably just a bug. :(
