Quoted from Slim64:Ya know....lol. find me a deal like that and I'll trade you supersonic and stars for it. Haha

Quoted from Whysnow:I enjoy the question but always go back to the equation of crap in = crap out.
The pinside rankings are laregly worthless
The pinside valuation is largely worthless
You start with crap data you get crap results or even worse the misconception that you have some fancy equation helping determine value when in reality all you have is time spent with poor quality data from the start.
Sorry Whysnow but i gotta call you out on your "worthless rankings" quote.
Your game ratings are very polarized... dont you think you should be a little more objective? That would help the ratings be a little more acurate...

I will go with Johnny Mnemonic. The speed of a dialed in JM is unmatched. If this would have been based off "The Matrix" it probably would be in the top 10.
I do wish that within rankings you could assign more then 10 points to a category. For me at least 50% of my ranking would be in the "Fun". That's really the bottom line.

I think a better them would jump it up 20-30 spots. A different toy and more balanced scoring could have it nearing the top-10.

Sorry sammy, i don't think you understand what rankings are. They are objectively based on opinions... i.e. They are subjective.
So sick of people too self absorbed to realize that not eveyone likes the games you like. I rated games very fairly based on what I like. I am extremely consistent and I do it for myself, no one else. I also revisit rankings over time and adjust as opinions changes.
If anyone needs to work on their rankings... it is the guys like you that only know how to use the top 40% of a 10 point scale, lol.
My rankings also tend to not use the full spectrum simply because within most machines there are some things I like and some things I don't like. So even on F-14, a game I dislike it still get's okay scores for artwork, sound, lights, music, etc. Do you use it more as overall ranking? For example, if a machine is in your bottom 20% it's a 2.
PS: Just curious. Use them however you'd like.
I have an overall ranking system. I use the categories and weight what I like.
Awesome games are 10s. Total crap are 1s
Quoted from Whysnow:JP can still be found sub 2k with relative ease. I passed on a dirty but functioning one for 1350 just this past spring.
I think it is a solid value in todays world. Still the poor mans TAF and a little more clunky but a solid title for sure.
Passed on a 1350? You crazy. Pick it up!
