Rating Anime and Video Games, an Explanation, Part 2

Hey guys, Lin here with Part 2 of my rating system. To start off, I'll let you know that anime and video game criteria merge. Every subject that is analyzed in anime is also done in video games, however, video games has criteria which is not analyzed in anime...

I'll start with giving very brief descriptions of shared criteria before going into other ratings that specific to anime or VGs.
  1. Characters. I judge characters based on how real main characters feel and whether or not they can be related to. I think that good fictional characters have major strengths, but they also have flaws and weaknesses. Examples of bad characters are marysues or one dimensional characters.
  2. Dialogue: Cringe worthy one-liners don't get many points, you'd imagine. Dialogue is just how smoothly lines go with each other and how appropriate their script is. Cursing three times in a sentence doesn't make your lines any more meaningful.
