Quoted from thedefog:I was just trying to give an example of a game people feel strongly about. Sorry that it rubbed you the wrong way somehow.
It was not really directed at you persay. More at the op. There seems to be no end to the JJP/Stern arguments, its just getting tiresome to read the forum because of it. Its like a broken record on every other thread. No big deal though, I'm not mad. Its only pinball.
As a side note. I can not wrap my head around why anyone would want to rate a pin before software is done. If I had rated AC/DC after my first 20 or so games, It would be rated fairly low (the software was not done). Now I own the game. I still have not rated ACDC... It could even get another update. So far I think it is a great game but I need more time to rate it. In the end, who cares. Some people rate games with no clue what they are doing in the game besides bashing the ball around.
Quoted from Ilthuain:You can always go back and revise your rating.
Yep. Or you can chill out, not waste your time and wait untill its done, and you have more then a hand full of plays on a game. I have found quite often, that games I like right away are not allways great, and games I dislike right away end up some of my favorite.
How many people go back to change their rating?
Quoted from centerflank:I do, quite often actually.
I'm sure your the exception not the rule. Your also an honest guy from what I can tell.
Quoted from Caucasian2Step:Yep... I update my ratings as I deem fit. Sometimes I only get to play a single copy of the deck. Other times I get to play a game I haven't seen in years. Sometimes there are software revisions and other times a game is taken care of as it should be and plays differently than it had in a less than ideal state of operation.
I keep the old reviews and add on to the history of my experience with the deck . A review is not an absolute.
I think thats respectable. I just do not have the drive or time to rate all or even half the games I have played. So I rate games I have played a fair amount of through the years.

Quoted from centerflank:Crap, I guess I better tell you I dont really live in Hulktown then
I feel dirty now 
Quoted from Ilthuain:Why are you sure of that? My board game reviews are constantly being revised as my opinion changes over time. Most people I know who have large collections enjoy going back and looking at their old ratings and revising them. It's kinda like experience scrapbooking. I haven't started reviewing pins but I'm sure those will change with time as well.
When I first played Seawitch, I thought it was janky and irritating. Now it's in my top 5. My opinion changed. I wouldn't rate a game based on what I believe its objective value is to other people, I rate games based on my experience with it.
Ok, let me rephrase. I am willing to bet, most people rate a game and leave it at that. I'm not including you, as most people. No offence intended
Quoted from pezpunk:so in your opinion no stern games should have any ratings.
I see what you did there. 
There is a big difference between finished and done.
Until the product is said to be finished or is no longer being produced I can not assume it is finished.
