I think it's pretty neat how there's a color to go with ratings on the new site. It makes it a bit easier to decide which game to play and which to avoid. However, I think games should be rated a bit higher than 7 to be given a "green" status.

i never noticed that games had a color coding thing!! cool! but i think that 7 is good enough, maybe if theres more colors the green would go higher...

The rating system should be colored like this:

Rate 3 or under-Red Color

Rate 4 to 7-Yellow Color

Rate 7 to 10-Green Color

Simple but also cool looking.

Usually when I rate things irl, I base things off of a 5 point system. Makes things much easier.
Anyways, I think it would be cool to add color for the rating system, I don't see a reason why not to.

Maybe to make things more art looking they should put stars,moons and suns as this.Where the sun is that is the bad rating.Moons are the normal rating while stars are the best rating.

Once again 3 or under is stars,4 to 7 are moons and 7 to 10 are stars.
The suns would look a bit orange or something while the moons sparkly white.The stars should be like glowing yellow.This way it would look a lot more prettier.

I don't get how that would relate to armor games. Also, the sun is a star. And a very big star at that, so I think that would fit better as the best rating. But it would look weird...
I think just the simple rating system that we have now with additional red, and yellow would look fine.

No. I think giving a green status for seven and above is fine, since that is a relatively high rating for a game on a scale of ten.

I just checked some games on AG3 Beta and seven and over is green, 4 to 6.9 is yellow, 3.9 and under is gray. Maybe replacing gray with red so people can spot the badly rated games.

That's making something simple complicated. Having the colored shields are enough. And the shields represent Armor Games more keeping the theme.

There is a yellow and green, but no red. Instead of red there's gray, which I think should be replaced with red.
We could also have bigger rating system, instead of; 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5...
we could have; 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5...

I suppose it would be better to give a more precise rating on the game, but I like the .5 rating system since it's more simple.

I'm not for or against the idea of it, though.

Why would gray be more revealing of a low rating than red?

It's not. That's why he's saying AG3 should put red instead of gray.

Why are you asking someone that has nothing to do with the creation of AG3?

On AG3 when you see the games it shows a box with the rating then green, yellow and gray.

Maybe they put gray so that it isn't offensive to the developer's because maybe if it's red then people will avoid those games.

Above 7 usually means its enjoyable and if its enjoyable then you probably had nothing to lose time-wise since you're on a flashgame site looking for flashgames in the first place.

I've not used the rating system but a 7+ for green status seems like the perfect number imo.

I kind of think it should be like:
Red: 3 and under
Orange-Red:3.1-4
orange:4.1-5
yellow:5.1-7
yellow-green:7.1-8
green:8.1 +
I only say this from a critical standpoint. Since there are so many games, if games are only divided into 3 color categories, it will be harder to determine which ones are truly worth the time to play. That's why I think additional color codings would make it easier for gamers to decide which games to play. Also, it would be more of an achievement for programmers to get green if it was more exclusive.
