[Legend]

Game pages with user reviews.  
-User would post reviews.
-Based off the reviews, the site would find people who liked the game about as much and suggest other games based on what those people liked.  
Ex.) Legend gave Skyrim a 7/10.  -> Bananaman gave Skyrim a 7/10.  Bananaman liked the Witcher 3, and suggest The Witcher 3 to Legend.  
-We could go even further, once it gets big enough and offer "expected scores."  
Ex.)  Legend gave Skyrim a 7/10.  Banaman did the same, and gave The Witcher 3 10/10.  Pezus did the same and gave The Witcher 9/10.  Expected score ranged 8.5 - 10.  (Maybe even offer buy links?)  
-Multiple games comparison.
Ex.)  Legend gave {Skryim - 7, The Witcher 3- 8.5, etc}, based on these scores and Banana's same reviews, we expect Legend to score game A, 8/10.
(Maybe even give users numbers based on their taste and match them up with other users of similar taste numbers, kinda the same, but a little different than what I was suggesting)

Yeah that's a cool idea. I don't think there's anything out there that does that yet.

Do you want to try coding it?

I'll look into it when I have time.

Silly phone.

Sad part is. Nobody noticed.

That's where you're wrong!

Spoiler for Hidden:

Pi noticed, obviously.

The only problem with that is that I don't think opinions are that predictable

School yesterday from 9 AM to 3 PM. Straight to work on a 16 hour shift, managed to sleep 1+3 hours total. Straight back to school around 9 AM again where I had to do a presentation. Listen to other presentations until 1 PM. Start studying for a final exam that is going to be at 10 AM tomorrow (yeah, on a Saturday...)

not sure I like the prediction idea on scores unless it was a soft meta prediction... because then I would give a rating to throw off the prediction of my own review out of spite
and my tastes vary depending on the game

It'd be statistically based.  Doesn't have to be right at all.  And it's be a gigantic range just because of how few people are here.

Machine learning is pretty powerful. As long as Pi had enough data per game, and we had enough users using it, he'd probably be able to get spookily good results.
