For one, please don't patronize me when you're not explaining what you mean and using circular logic. For two, your explanation could just as easily be applied to the five-star scale, duder.
I'd be more interested if I wasn't completely put off by Drawn to Life. I'm holding back until I see that the creation aspects are more than just a window dressing of a gimmick meant to hide the fact that the game isn't so good.
""fun" it's not meaningless if you see it in contrast to "generic"."
YOU'RE NOT EXPLAINING ANYTHING! WHAT MAKES ONE TYPE OF RATING SYSTEM "FUN" AND ANOTHER "GENERIC"? HOW DO THESE ADJECTIVES MODIFY SOMETHING AS ABSTRACT AS A RATING SYSTEM IN A MEANINGFUL WAY THAT DICTATES WHY ONE RATING SYSTEM IS SUPERIOR TO ANOTHER?!
The Rodeo Burger. Some people consider it a brilliant, ingenious creation; others (and I know many of them) think of it as an affront to burgerkind. What say you, Giant Hambombger crowd?
We're basically retreading the old NeoGAF meme of "So basically GAME is BETTER THAN/WORSE THAN/AS GOOD AS, DEPENDING ON THE SCORE,UNRELATED GAME" that fools ended up taking seriously and that's why it's banned. Scores, especially those for games in different genres, aren't intended to be compared to each other for numerous reasons and they never were. This thread is proof positive as to why.

and why shouldnt scores be fun? who the fuck are you to tell me what i can regard as fun or not?
Because what does this even mean? What dictates a score being "fun" as opposed to being "a number"? When is a score not "fun"? Fun is completely meaningless in this context.
Since when are review scores supposed to be fun? What are you even talking about?
And having a second score defeats the purpose of having the original score! The 5 says "you should play this game, no matter what!" Your ridiculous two-score suggestion completely undermines this.
Fire Emblem sucks because forever death is lame and annoying, and it doesn't have British gents that drink tea and transform into giant steampunk robots of death.
Unlike Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure!!
