I recently noticed that my reputation on Xbox live had risen from a mediocre 3 stars to a manly, throbbing 4 and a half stars. I was elated, surely this means that people that i don't know enjoy playing with me. They'd prefer to play with me than with a twelve year old who can't operate a microphone, Awesome!
I always try and give people (who enjoy playing with) that have less than 5 stars, good player reviews because it's always nice to think that someone cares.
Subsequently, I give people who are dicks bad player reviews.
I am absolutely positive that I have done nothing to merit a bad player review, but when i checked my Rep. percentages i saw that only 66% of people liked me.
A whole 34% of people who reviewed me wanted to avoid me and i have no idea why!
Being a poor bastard i only ever play TF2 online and, seeing as i don't have any money to renew my Gold membership which runs out in less than a week, i try and cram i as much online play as i can.
This makes it hard to pinpoint which cocksucker wants to avoid me. I must have played with over 300 different people the past week and one of the motherfuckers saw fit to give ME a bad fucking review.
Honestly, i have been nothing but nice to everybody i meet online but one faggoty douche thought it would be a fucking laugh to give me a fucking bad review. They didn't even have the fucking courtesy to make up some fucking reason why they would want to avoid me.
Seriously, If one more of you shit fucking baby rapists decides to give me another fucking bad review i will crawl down the internets and i shall smite thee with mine own two hands!
I didn't know people still used those rating thingies. I've had my gold account for about a year and have yet to get more than 3 1/2 stars. I do plan online quite regularly too and avoid talking to pretty much anyone who sounds like an ass.
From the people that have reviewed me, 33 percent gave me a bad rating. And from the reasons why, I can tell it was my brother who they were giving bad ratings. I fucking hate it when he plays online because everytime he does he really pisses somebody off.
My wife had 5 stars, but apparently 50% of people didn't like her. You know why? Cause she's a girl and she is good at Halo 3.
People will give bad reviews if they suck at a game or you're better. They can't cope with losing to someone else, especially a member of the opposite sex or a kid. They're pussies, in general.
I always give a good review if someone is better than me so long as they aren't a fucking douchebag on their headset.
Also, your score goes up when you play online and people don't give you a negative review score. The only reason you'd have 3 1/2 stars is if you don't play or people just hate you. Also, you're probably better than most people and they're bitter butt holes about it
I heard you beat me, brb giving you bad rep and complaint about you tampering with your system you hacker. (you'd be surprised about clans threatening me with that)
That's ok, 44% gave me bad player reviews xD. And yet I still have 5 stars. My strategy is pretty much: Mute everyone in the room before you start the game and turn off your mic.
(People appreciate it when everyone is quiet during their online games, and I appreciate not being able to hear anyone. It all works out.)
you can give a negative review if someone is too good or too bad, and that way you'll avoid them. It only makes sense that you'd want to avoid players that are a lot better or worse than you since you won't have any fun playing with them. I don't think that should count as a negative mark against you though... leave that for the language and all that other foul mucky muck.
DynamicSheep raises a good point: We should be able to avoid players if they're way better than us. It's kind of a bitch move, but it would a good feature if they made it so you don't have to actually give them a bad review just for kicking you ass. That's being a sore loser, not a humble one.

I hate you (j/k)
*points*
Hey! Look at the guy with teh one bad review!
*laughs*

You get bad reviews because you're probably better than some people.
I'm at 80% on mine, I can tell you that I got most of them on Gears for no other reason than for beating the other team.
Only one I agree with is the ones I've in Halo for Language, I am pretty foul mouthed in that game.
I think there isn't one person who doesn't have a bad review. People get bitter when they loose, you know?
I KNOW! It's insane that people care that deeply about online gaming. Eh, that's just the way humanity rolls.
All rep to me is good rep.
Two out of three people agree that one out of three people is a douche.
i know i probably shouldn't care (just as with gamerscore) but it really gets to me that someone would be mean to me.
*cries in the corner*

Just get over it.

My former roommate used to play on my account, and he's an asshole when he plays online. Hence, bad reviews.

50 Helens agree that Hawaii isn't what it used to be.
How/where do you check how many people have given you a bad review?
I have had 5 stars for a long ass time, and I only have 1 review
...and its negative
