very cool, makes me want to get S in all my games now DAMN YOU SLY!!!

[Pie]

I agree that more grades would be useful, probably from S to E.

[sundrew]

Haha I agree with the D/F...I shouldn't be getting C's on all my 0%'s .

This would still be a hellish nightmare for some people. What if you come here, and you have 1000+ trophies, and 2 platinums. All your games are under 30% complete (Mostly). So its going to take FOREVER for get that possible "D" rank off your back! Fo the sake of those people, i disagree with an overall rank. Individual game ranks are fine.

If you've got over one thousand trophies and only two of them are Platinums, there's something wrong with you, haha. Really though, I think people are forgetting that it's not based on Platinums; it's based on average completion. Law of averages; chances are, games you C'd in will be made up for in games you've S'd in.

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.

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.

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.

Nice touch, Sly. I'm liking the little perks you're adding to the site.

[Paranoimia]

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. :-)

So

U - 0%
F - 0-59&
D - 60-69%
C - 70-79%
B - 80-89%
A - 90-99%
S - 100%

Is this what you mean?

The grades aren't based on fixed percentages, they compare you to everyone else that has the game.

That would make sense.

Great feature addition!! I have a couple C ranks for games I haven't gone back to in a while, haha. Now i'm gonna have to put them on the priority list lol.

Thanks for yet another awesome feature Sly!

[Riot]

I like this a lot, nice job . Really nice touch with the 'S' ranks.

[ant1th3s1s]

"‘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."

Thanks for the explanation. That makes the existing ranking scheme perfect as is. Carry on.

[Orca_Overlord]

can you add ratings for the games sly?

[Orca_Overlord]

like m, teen, e 10+, and e

[Sly Ripper]

like m, teen, e 10+, and e

Nope, would take too much time for something so small.

[DoSe420]

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)

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.
