I know most people will probably think I'm being offensive. However I feel like all of my games are bad. Reasons because no one hardly ever comments, or tells me what they think and I never score above 3.5 stars. I really want attention but oh well.

Close3.5 is quite good, actually. 2.5 is, basically, the middle ground. Below that and your game is bad or meh or has issues. Above that and it's a decent game, worth playing.
Give it time. You're reasonably new to the site. Check out the forums for review threads and ask for people to review your games. Listen to what they say, go back, refine and make your game better. Over time people will notice. No-one is an instant celebrity unless they get exceptionally lucky. A lot of the names that are known around the site and community have years under their belts or have jumped in to the community and interacted with others - bringing more than just games to the table.
You only added your games up this year, from the looks of it. Also keep in mind that longer games tend to take more time to get noticed. The shorter the game, the quicker it's discussed because people play it fast and discuss it fast. (And 2000+ downloads are nothing to sneeze at. I know some awesome games that don't have that many downloads!)
Maybe get your name out there in some of the game making events we hold from time to time. Do other things like reviews or commenting on others' game pages and they'll reciprocate in time. People often talk to those who they see around, so try interacting with the site and the people on it a bit and see how that goes.
Mainly, don't give up and have fun. Make your games but play games too. Keep in mind that there are well over 2000 games on this site - that's a lot of competition for attention.

I can only agree with Liberty.
(I suppose a few years in is still "new" to the site, huh?)
If you need and desire feedback - just go ahead and ask. You'll be surprised how often that works!
It might also because none are completed yet. Many people (myself included) skip demos
Keep up the good work ;)

Thank you. I know 3.5 is good I just feel like I could do better. :)
I plan to have Orion X and Eternal Destiny Remake completed by the summer time.
I often get writers block and want to change things. Thank you again.

It can feel that way, but keep in mind that there aren't that many active reviewers at RMN. There are many more developers than there are players.
Louis is reminding me that I should start reviewing more often again if I want to become the new nhubi. Too bad game Dev leaves less time for game review.
On the subject topic, I think you shouldn't base your game being bad or not on what others think. Theoretically your game might be good but it goes unnoticed and becomes underrated. That doesn't mean it's a bad game.

I'm aware of that. The only problem is if no one comments on my demos how would I know if there are any game crashing bugs or error that are serious and need to be fixed? I'm the type of person who has little patients and only test plays my games once because I don't like starting over again. So I test play as I edit and go.
