Title: FS2 at IMDB
Post by: T-LoW on January 03, 2011, 12:04:58 pm

Just stumbled over the ImdB-Entry of Freespace 2 and there are some interesting facts :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289708/

Did someone of the community edit the content of that page?

There is even a goof:

Continuity: Initially in the first 'briefing' before training, the 53rd Squadron Leader refers to himself as Lieutenant Loukakis, but later on in the missions, he refers to himself as Captain Loukakis. Even in the 36hr time period between the two, he would not have been promoted that many ranks.

Maybe someone registered on imdb should open a thread to promote hard-light (and polish the page a little bit :) )

FreeSpace 2 is ranked 7.5/10 there. We need to change that a bit.

I've voted it up, and added "Dive, dive, dive" to the quotes section.
EDIT: That is to say, I've submitted it for addition.

Good work!
If nobody else want to do it, I'll register by myself and clean this up.
The 7.5 is a blemish for this game.

That's more like it.

If you look at the ratings http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289708/ratings
You'll see a large majority 76.8% voted 10
and 12.8% a 9

but
"125 IMDb users have given a weighted average vote of 7.5 / 10"
"IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at 'vote stuffing' by individuals more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it.

The exact methods we use will not be disclosed. This should ensure that the policy remains effective. The result is a more accurate vote average. "

Translation: horse****.

I voted 10 with all 17 of my IMDB accounts, I don't know what the problem is?
