In celebration of the coming of summer, Tāne Rore personified the many forms of posture, dances and movement.

Tāne Rore (the prince of haka, also known as Tamarore).

In this sense, it shows the various genealogical layers and lines of descent that create personal identity and links whānau (family group), hapū (sub-tribe), and iwi (tribe). The term whakapapa derives from the word papa meaning layers or levels. There are many different explanations of haka. But games with unusual storytelling still have stories, like some walking simulators, for example.Learning experience 8: Voice and movement Te reo kori me te nekehanga Whakapapa I forgot to mention that in some games, like sports, racing, simulators, puzzles, casual games, and some others, story is not an aspect that is included in rating, due to the lack of it, or the complete absence. Others the gameplay and 'flow'matters most, as with Bloodstained, Dust:AET, and many others.Īlthough I'm a huge fan of music, I turn it all the way down or off in most games I play, notwithstanding the works of Uematsu on SNES.

Some games the atmosphere rules the day, as with Hob, Inside, and Limbo. And I do play those games, and GTA V, for the graphics as much as the gameplay - up to and including downloading complete graphics overhauls to make it even prettier. I don't really care about the story in Torchlight II, Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, or even the Diablo series, and in all of them, the graphics are nothing to get excited about.įorza Motorsport and Horizon games don't even have a story, but the graphics and driving are great.įor story, I prefer the side-stories in games like Skyrim, RDR2, and Fallout NV, over the main quest stories. Originally posted by Boofalo Soja:Tough question. It´s something to take into consideration when using a scale. A new player, without any previous knowledge will not understand. So instead of comparing the old game's visuals with modern games, we should compare it with those games that were released in the same year as the game that we give a rating, or games that were released 1-2 years before or after it.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is 10/10 in terms of visuals for its time of release, but not as good for today's standards, obviously.

Yes, I agree that it could be a problem, but it is solved easily when you consider the age of the game and genre of the game (in certain situations at least). So that makes each rating relative to a date of release. It only works to certain extend, because how would you rate the visuals of an older title? It will not rate highly on a scale, even though during it´s time of release, it may. That´s the problem with ratings from 1 to 10. Originally posted by Stern Warrior:Rating does not necessarily mean something you put on public as part of the review or just give a rating on Metacritic, it could also mean a personal rating, but I understand that some people don't give ratings (from 1 to 10 or from 1 to 100) to games overall and to their specific aspects.
