Sadly this part of rating is not really accurate.
Because you can clearly see games with greater rating behind games with lower rating.Even in first page.
My assumption about that discrepancy is that there's a difference between Weighted Rating and the Rating. The sorting option is Weighted Rating, but the number displayed for each game is the Rating. The Rating is clearly a straight average of the ratings currently logged to each game's thread. I would guess that in order to avoid new games with a single 5 star review from shooting to the top of the list, there must be greater value assigned to having a larger number of high ratings than a single 5 star. I found no description on the site about the algorithm used for Weighted Rating. Pure speculation here, but there might also be greater value assigned to ratings given by more valued and engaged members. For instance, your five star vote might carry a lot more weight than mine, because of my significantly shorter membership, lower number of comments, lower points, and lower reaction score.

It (in part at least) has to do with the amount of reviews if it ranked purely by stars you would get tons of games with only 1 update and 1 five star review. An example being the game with 5 stars on the first page only has 65 reviews vs the near 300 this one has
If that was the case then the near 300 reviews are nothing compared to more than 1100 reviews and the game shouldn't be number one.

It's a weighted average, meaning a combination of factors go into calculating the rating.

I'm not sure what all those factors are though. Obviously a combination of overall score and number of reviews play a part, but there could be more to it.

And they really fucking deserve it in my eyes. What they do with the HS models is pure magic. Especially when you compare Pale Carnations to other HS games (minus the Eternum). And also I do appreciate the Starless vibes when it comes to the story.
what do u mean starless vibes?

This game is amazing... didnt expect this much of character development from this game tbh due to the setting and all. I was blown away, the writing is amazing.

My first comment on this big deal of a game, and i presume it was mentioned already...
An 'italian' chef that serves Fettuccine Alfredo just sold his soul to Satan. And he can stick the pomodorini up his arse. Fettuccine Alfredo is not even a name that makes any sense in italian grammar wise.

Ok, i just reveled the penultimate woman available for the game. W. T. F.? Really, again, what's this obsession about banging mature women??? No that i got anything against women in their 30's or 40's. That's my age and the age of my mate and that's quite normal i would say. But when i was 21???? Really??? I could have had and i had women in their early 20's or even teenagers. And i should have been there going after a 40 something women with children almost my age? Com'on. Thanks haven there are 2, and i say 2 out of a full roster of ladies, girls with a plausible age to pursuite.

Just why?

Even the setup makes little sense. Al the rich and powerful old maniacs patrons probably bang models in their 20's all day long and they need to go to this all powerful cash packed shady brothel that can't find a girl to give out who's younger then 30?? com'on.

Good thing that in this games even women almost 60 don't look a year older then 25 just with increasingly huge boobs. Spoiler allert. Ageing doesn't work like that.
