GunmaN1905 09/15/23 2:20:41 PM #10:	__starsnostars posted... In my experience most games with a score of 7 are not that good. Because the scale has been moved for some reason. 10/10 should be reserved for all-time classics. Games that are either perfect in every aspect or bring some never seen before innovations and gameplay mechanics. I'd say one or two games per year, if that. 7 to 9 should be for good to great games. 5 and 6 for passable games worth buying on sale etc. 4 and lower is bad. Instead we adopted the mindset that everything below 9 is a complete failure. <cite>GunmaN1905 posted [p:976088850] in 7 out of 1...

Karovorak 09/15/23 3:03:13 PM #15:	I think it should be more about your preferences. A 10/10 is a game everyone should at least take notice of. You don't like this genre? Doesn't matter, this is still a masterpiece and may convince you otherwise. 9/10 is a game for everyone who doesn't outright dislike the genre. 8/10 is a game for the average gamer, who is at least neutral at the genre. 7/10 is "if you like this genre, you will have your fun, if not, well, maybe look for other games, because this is not for everyone". 5 and 6 is more like "you should really be a fan of it, otherwise you wont be able to enjoy it", and everything at 4 and below is just bad, frustrating or outright painful. <cite>Karovorak posted [p:976089740] in 7 out of 1...

Plenty of games got 2.5 star scores, and it was really an average score where depending on your tastes a three star game could be great. I think when you restrict the scale to five stars or ten half stars it makes you be a lot more deliberate with what your rate something. The other benefit of a five star system is it gets people out of the school grade mindset. People will see 6/10 or 7/10 and equate with a barely passing grade or a failing grade, but if you say something 3/5 it conjures the idea that it's a little above average. --- *runs out of topic naked* <cite>codey posted [p:976100616] in 7 out of 1...

Plenty of games got 2.5 star scores, and it was really an average score where depending on your tastes a three star game could be great. I think when you restrict the scale to five stars or ten half stars it makes you be a lot more deliberate with what your rate something.The other benefit of a five star system is it gets people out of the school grade mindset. People will see 6/10 or 7/10 and equate with a barely passing grade or a failing grade, but if you say something 3/5 it conjures the idea that it's a little above average. </quote> ...
