How are we testing recency bias by rating games from memory?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. How much does recency bias come into play when you think about a game? Helldivers 2 took over the world, but over a year later, would you still rate it the same? Well, on today's episode, we're testing that theory out. We'll be rating games from memory and then seeing where we rated them fresh off of playing. How far off will we be, and will some games get better or worse with time? We're about to find out, but first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me, I initially rated him a 7 out of 10, but years later, he's a perfect 7.5. It's Ryan!
I'm going up, baby. I'm going up, up, up.
Oh, God.
We're going to get copyrighted now.
Copyright.
And joining us, he's only rated three AAA titles in his professional career, and he gave one a 10 out of 10. This guy loves AAA studios, apparently. It's Ace.
I gave one a 10 out of 10. When did I do that? Red Dead Redemption 2. Oh, okay. Well, that's the obvious. Okay. No, that's a 10 out of 10.
You forgot about it. Apparently not that obvious. Was it? Yeah, I know.
Well, here's the thing. I'm kind of loosey-goosey sometimes, so I couldn't remember.
Ace just throwing out 10s to all the AAA studios out there.
That's why I don't give them, man. 10s mean nothing if you just give them out willy-nilly. That's fair.
Guys, this is going to be a really fun episode. I have a feeling that we may end up looking like idiots when we throw out a rating for a game that we played a while back, and then it's so far off what we were like, I got off a plane. It's like, it's totally a nine. And then now we're like, uh, like a seven, eight, like, you know, so that, that is what we're doing on this episode. You know, this is something that all gamers do. Right. And this is kind of why we're putting ourselves to the test on this to see, when you first play a game and you were fresh off of that game, you know, do you rate it higher or lower if it's, if a game is frustrating and it's like, dang it, man, this game really irked me.
Do you, you know, do you slam it a little bit more on the rating? But then over time you go, you know, that wasn't that bad, you know, and then your rating goes up or is it recency bias where it's like, Oh, we just had so much fun. But then in hindsight, it's like, yeah the game was good but it wasn't like everything yeah and so i am very curious to see how this goes uh i'm gonna give a huge shout out to jiggle puff who is one of our awesome community members longtime listener of the show uh and now partial historian for the podcast our curator yeah Jiggle Puff was like, bro, I got you. He found all of the ratings and put them together in this really awesome Google Doc where I cannot see the answers until I actually click and change the color of the cells on this one.
So this is going to be really cool. We are going to guess what our rating was or how we would rate it today. And then I will actually reveal the ratings and we'll do it like that. Ace, there are a couple games where you did not give an actual full rating. But Jiggle even went so far as to pull up some comments that you had on this as well.
Oh, gosh. Yeah.
And so this is going to be fun, man. I'm really, really looking forward to this. Going the extra mile. I love it. But Ryan, before we get started, I do believe you have a new review for us to read.
I do, and as always, we love the reviews. They really mean a lot to us. Every single one we read, and we try to read them all on the show. This one is from Mr. Tesla, titled Absolute Cinema, gents. Love it. Five-star review. And it goes as, you guys are so funny, and I love this pod. Five stars. Star emoji, star emoji, star emoji, star emoji, star emoji. Also, Halo or COD campaign-wise? Oh, that's an easy answer. Halo. Absolutely. Halo's campaigns are legendary, man. Legendary.
Call of Duty. I don't know that I've played a Call of Duty. I played the one. Actually, I have. I played a couple Call of Duty ones.
I played the older ones.
Okay, so that right there tells you I had to think about whether I had played Call of Duty campaign.
