To all those who voted 5....So if you write a test in school and you get half the questions wrong, you should still get a C in your opinion?!

If we're bringing school into this, I'm not too fond of scored testing in the first place.

1. One of the worst games of all time (0-29)
2. Terrible (30-39)
3. Bad (40-49)
4. Mmmm, nope, try to avoid it, unless you're a fan and is a super niche game that you like (Pokemon Dungeon?) (50-64)
5. Average (65-70)
6. Ok (71-75)
7. Good (76-84)
8. Very Good (85-94)
9. Excellent (95-99)
10. No Game Should be Here, but since you have to use it, then games that change everything or all time classics could be here. (OoT?)

Yeah this makes sense. 7 is almost always just average, not only for video games, but in general.

Yeah, that’s something I would sign as well.

It's the same logic as putting an 11 on amps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven ). If you change the scale, that doesn't really change anything, only redistributes the entry on the new scale. If you say 10 i snot used, you really have a 0-9 scale, which means 9 is 100%.

That 11 on the amps was a Spinal Tap joke, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

I know, this doesn't change the thing that renaming the markers on your scale doesn't factual change anything.

No, I’m suggesting 70% should get a C like in all different subjects everywhere around this planet.

We don’t have sheet to say they got certain stuff right though so this isn’t like a school test.  Can’t judge on the same scale

Yeah, but you want use a 0-9 scale by saying: let's not use 10.

I’m actually a fan of score-less reviews...just sad that’s both Kotaku and Eurogamer are pretty much shit these days.

Detailed game reviews used to be like that...back in the day, when not every idiot running a blog thought he was a professional video game journalist.

To be exact some of my favourite an der most respected magazines/sites like Gameinformer or German Gamestar still use the 100% scale with according scales for different subjects of the games.
