So is VG Chartz going to be using the 100% method for rating games now?

I like the 100% method. It's best for comparing. What is easier to choose between, 94 and 89 or A- and A-?

Of course, you still read the review, but scores give an at-a-glance impression of the quality of a game. Also, with the letter scale, only the A and B scores are ever used. And most of us have no idea what they mean, other than Metacritic's awful A+ = 100, A = 100 chart.

Receiving the same score does not mean that two games are of the same quality. It has never meant this, it never should mean this, and that people interpret it this way is both wrong and disconcerting.

I know this. A lot of VGChartz members don't. Just as a 94 is not necessarily better than a 92, a 4/5 is not necessarily as good as a 4/5. Reviews are meant for comparing games within a genre, or within your preferred genres.

Even a 9/10 scale is better than this awful letter sytem. Please, get rid of it.
