AlteredFormula Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've always said eburk is an ASS... or was it "has a great ass"? I can never remember... But yes, I love the rankings, I was surprised that my average was a B rather than a C considering how many games I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairozen Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 However, I do retract the idea though, but for a different reason. You'd have to obtain 100% on all of your games to have an overall S rank. Screw that, lol. That's what I've been trying too say! If you want your trophy profile to be like :eburk:,then you might as well start over! All 100% is a good trophy hunting insentive though. But it is a difficult one. I guess my assumption was based on the fact that evryone will strive for the Platinum "S" rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoimia Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Nice idea! I think S, A-F and maybe a U for 'Ungraded' if you have no trophies, or less than say 5% completion? Like the exams. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antithesis Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 "‘S-Rank’ is a term used in games, most commonly awarded at the end of stages with graded missions or side objectives. Originally created in Japan where anything below grade ‘C’ was considered a failure. The 'S-Rank' allowed for a wider range of obtainable grades and thus player motivation, meaning that it was soon adopted by western developers who realized that the ‘S-Rank’ was much cooler than the boring ‘A’. An A rank is commonly obtained by getting a 90% to 95%. If the player is flawless or achieves perfection in something, it qualifies as an S . Many people have wondered what the S stands for… Special? Super? No one knows for sure." http://www.giantbomb...s-rank/92-2962/ Thanks for the explanation. That makes the existing ranking scheme perfect as is. Carry on.

DoSe420 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Nope, would take too much time for something so small. When im finished if you want you could import that table off my db.. When i get bored i been adding shit to a database, so far i got about half the games done. Ive added, developer, publisher, esrb rating, marked 3d support, move support, genre, and source (Retail/PSN/Both) to the games table. Also i have been marking in my trophy table which trophies belong to which dlc for seperation Example game. (Dont mind the total, retail, dlc fields i havent ran my update script) http://pastebin.com/MY8dBku1 Example Trophy http://pastebin.com/KEZRrDyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoimia Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Nope, would take too much time for something so small. Time aside, I'd imagine it would also be difficult, since ratings change from country to country - not only in terms of age, but also style. For example, the US ratings M and Teen do not apply in the UK, and European countries differ yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratings differ yea, but if you know the ratings for each country a simple case and replace could work to display each countries rating based off just having the esrb (US rating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Actually the easier way would be to have the user's point of origin be the factor on which database used...which would encompass an enormous amount of time inputting databases for each region/country. It would use up a lot of time and memory to have multiple tables, but it would be the easiest way to implement. If it was an important feature it might be worth the trouble, but for something minor, would you be willing to do it when there are more pressing issues at hand?

Hitman Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Your percent vs average game percent, it also depends on what the average percent is too. That's interesting. Doesn't make me feel as bad to know others sucked just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 My original goal was to try and platinum every game I had. Now it just seems like an easier and more obtainable task to just get all of my games to S and A rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIDEWINDER_21X Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree with a lot of people here about the "D" rating, I think it would be good for the 0% - 5% mark as this would definitely be a fail. Also the rank colours would change to as follows: A - Green B - Yellow C - Orange D - Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyItsSpanky Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Haha I agree with the D/F...I shouldn't be getting C's on all my 0%'s . 0% should be F for no effort being put in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIDEWINDER_21X Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've already said the ranks aren't based on fixed percentages. But would it be possible to introduce, say, a "D" rank for a fixed 0%? I know the other rank percentages aren't fixed but I think (like the "S" rank) a fixed 0% rank would be a nice touch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
