Perhaps I'm overthinking, and even if it's true, I'm not terribly against it. But anybody else have the feeling that the game ratings on PSN are kind of rigged? There's virtually no titles under 3.90 rating. Many titles ratings don't seem to align at all with user reviews outside of PSN.

For instance, on JP PSN store(PS3), FF13-2 is 4.4+ / 5 rating, where as on Amazon.co.jp, it's 2.5 / 5. Another example is Syurunosage(JP game). It's rated 3.0 / 5 on Amazon(for huge bugs), where as on PSN it's 4.31?

There are many titles with the same sort of misalignment. There are very few titles that make the cut under 3.90, and they are often the most horrible ones that gets airbombed on all reviews, anywhere.

At any rate. That's just a thought. Perhaps PSN users are extremely optimisitc. Now if this thread is deleted for some reason...

CONSPIRACY lol

Users who rate are probably users who wanted the game to start with and bought it and rated it accordingly because they think it is awesomesauce.

Nobody looks at ratings like that anyway. I look at the OPM rating, and sometimes IGN or Eurogamer. Other than that everyone else's opinions are invalid. (Besides a few friends )
