The Review System is Broken!!

[macroplanet]

Reviews are not broke, it is the point system that is broken. I think the star system works great or even the "buy it, rent it, skip it" system works.

With the star you either have "Hated it / Disliked it / Liked it / Really Liked it / Loved it"

When you bring the point system in people relate that to grades that we receive in school. A 7.5 is a good game, but people see it as a 'C' which is frowned upon in the real world. Assassin's Creed, a great game, got multiple 7.0ish reviews. I absolutely loved the game despite it's grind. Just because it got a 7.5 doesn't mean its a bad game.

Now if you would have given it a star, you would have given it a 3/5 star or 4/5 star, depending on how you enjoyed the game. There, now you don't relate so much on "it's a C game."

Just my humble opinion on the reviewing industry, but the most ideal.
