I can understand a vague system in order to articulate the intricate details through text rather than some number. But surely a two-point system is on the extreme side.
I understand that numbers can be too definitive and arbitrary when it comes to expressing the complex & subtle differences that some titles may have. And that sometimes it's impossible to declare that one game deserves a higher score than another and instead, you should focus on the text to explain a game's true identity.
. But wouldn't it be okay to give different scores to a game that was GoTY and a game that was just fun while it lasted? Using your rule, they would get the same score. I think you can be a little more specific without the need for more specific details. I think it would be safe to call one game as definitively better than another. In that case, wouldn't a three or four point system be acceptable?
