Quoted from merccat:Should reviews even count yet? The games out in the wild are testers running beta code.
Probably not, but the game is already better than a lot of the games in the top 100.
Chaos already exists. The top 100 no longer represents 100 pins. How many versions of DI are they making? Two right now I believe but you can bet your boots there will another super deluxe gold plated smart phone limited edition model released, which will only knock off another title from the so-called top 100. Ok, rant over. Where will DI land? Number 1 of course, that is until the hordes, many who haven't even played it, down vote it. Eventually it will find its own rightful place. Check back in a year or so.
I too find it obnoxious that several titles take up 2-3 slots in the top 100. I think an aggregate of the various versions would better serve the list.
I agree JonH123 . The top 100 is not what is listed at all, it is what your own taste says the top 100 is.. I own TZ and I own a MET premium . Tz is not #1 in this house or even #2 My Top number 1 Is MetPrem/TwdPrem/SM/GOTpro/TS/ So TZ still not even in my Top 5 / all a matter of taste / Hang up the hate wagon
Personally yes it is all personal taste and yeah because its an aggregate nobody is going to personally agree with the list. But I find it facinating seeing how games rank across different tastes.
Quoted from MrBally:Jack played Dialed In; He likes it!
Does anybody really care? I have no need for pinball ratings myself. Don't even know why there are any.
I just play them. If they suck, they suck. If they don't, they don't. I don't need anybody else to tell me that.
About time! How long has it taken for a New pin to shake things up? It would be awesome if Alien generated a similar response, then the next Stern, then the next JJP...
Quoted from JonH123:Rankings mean nothing.
It's all about how well you like the game.
I agree...Heck I like Gilligan's Island!

I like doing it for myself. It's fun to rate each category honestly and see where it lands next to my other ratings.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I like doing it for myself. It's fun to rate each category honestly and see where it lands next to my other ratings.
Agreed. I find it funny that all of these people are saying, "Ratings mean nothing" and "Who cares? If I like it, that's all that matters!". Yet, here you are, commenting. Interesting.
If you currently query it for games with at least 10 ratings, it sets at #7. MMR is #1, Pinbot 2.0 is #2. So a few more ratings on those also will shake it up a bit.
Pinside needs to dump all ratings that are 1s and 2s as well as 9s and tens some people rate all games they own as tens and turn the top 100 into a joke
As my personal ratings aren't very reflective of what I would end up with if I listed my top 100 pinball machines, I don't sweat the aggregated ratings too much. While the order might be a bit wonky, they do serve as a general reference point for how people feel about a game.
The feature I would like would be to be able to separately score and rank a game. For example, I think AC/DC has pretty terrible art, but I also think it's the best modern Stern. If I want to make sure it's the highest rated Stern, I have to fudge numbers to make it sit there, because it gets hammered in the art side of things. It would be nice if I could just throw an overall ranking on it within my personal ratings. That way I could have AC/DC as the #1 Stern game, even though another game might have a higher averaged score. Those rankings, rather than ratings, could be what end up determining the top 100. Weight the #1 rankings a bit higher than the #2 rankings and so on down.

Taint any way of knowing but probably somewhere between my anus and my ding dong.

I don't know. I kind of like surprises like that. I rate the games honestly and have the weighted the way I think is important. Maybe you should downgrade the art category if gameplay is more important to you.
I just looked at my top 100 (only 91). My top 3 are Creature, MB and Nip It. No Stern is in the top 10 even though TWD is one of faves to play. Vacation America is in front of Harley Davidson, GOT, and IM which is crazy sounding.
I can always revisit my ratings if I think I feel differently later on (which I may do with VA )

If you take notice, only Sterns have multiple versions of the same game on the list. All 3 JJP machines are only listing as 1 entry each.

My understanding is that std, le, and se versions all play the same...it is just aesthetics?
Quoted from Goronic:My understanding is that std, le, and se versions all play the same...it is just aesthetics?
I would agree with that assessment. No need for separate entries for JJP games. Which is nice.

Yet there are different price points 
Quoted from JY64:Yet there are different price points
which is awesome you mean!!!
makes perfect sense to do things the Heighway and Spooky and JJP way of all models play the same and just add-ons for the bling stuff. Honestly wish Stern would go to the model.

Quoted from Mfsrc791:I wonder how many people saw dialed in and bop2.0 in the top 30 and instantly voted them down without playing them just because lol

We all have our own opinions, you are welcome to rate as you see fit.

Um, agenda isn't spelled with with two Os, a P, two Is, and two Ns.
Intentionally trying to manipulate the ratings is really weird. It doesn't help anybody. It's just self-serving and strange.

They are all my honest reviews
Quoted from EricHadley:We all have our own opinions, you are welcome to rate as you see fit.
You can hide behind the word 'opinion' if it makes you feel better. But deep down you know you are just manipulating numbers to push it down the list as far as you can.
Quoted from EricHadley:They are all my honest reviews
Can you really honestly say that?
Look we all give games we like/ own a better rating but just try not to be so obvious next time
Quoted from EricHadley:They are all my honest reviews
curious, where did you play it and what code version? I see you just rated it a few days ago.
We all have our honest opinions of games, some are just more obviously biased than others 
Some more valuable comments (esp on early release games) will add more value to your rating 'opinions' if that is of interest to you.
Quoted from FalconPunch:This guy. wackybrakke
Lw3 = 10/10
DI = 1.6/10
As I said before all ratings that are 9/10 or 1/2 should not go into the final score to many rate 10 or 1 for the games they rate
DI (and any new pin) on early code should not get ratings >8.5 either. Lots of upset pumpers it seems. Pot kettle black.

Whysnow you rate DI a 10 that is as silly as a 1.608 
Quoted from JY64:Whysnow you rate DI a 10 that is as silly as a 1.608
And look at his other ratings.
https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/whysnow/ratings
Met prem/le is 1.2.
Quoted from JY64:Whysnow you rate DI a 10 that is as silly as a 1.608
not really. I put it as equal to some of my other favorite games (TAF, wrath, forntier, tx) DI really is great and even on early code it is super solid. I actually even left a comment in my rating.
Quoted from dzoomer:DI (and any new pin) on early code should not get ratings >8.5 either. Lots of upset pumpers it seems. Pot kettle black.
Agree. And almost no working games should get a 1.6 lol.

yup and one of my least favorite games of all time. snooze fest.
granted I also actually use the entire spectrum for rating.
My ratings are genuine. Are you really trying to say me rating games on a full spectrum is even remotely the same as someone rating all his owned games as 10s and then 1 game as a 1... lol
and the critique coming form someone that does not even take the time to rate games?
Quoted from dirtbag66:Dialed In has received it's 15th rating.

It's good, but apparently not as good as Robocop, slugfest, Jurassic park, etc 
Quoted from JY64:some people rate all games they own as tens and turn the top 100 into a joke
The majority of the games I own are generally my top rated games, that's why I own them. I went out and bought/kept the games that I feel are the best of the best. I don't rate them all 10's though.
