Gravity Rush scandal review creates a bigger shitstorm than Zelda

[MikeRox]

 

"Below is an example of how to break down the meaning behind a 10 point rating system.

The game "X Racing" is a racing game for all platforms.

Possible review scores for "X Racing":

10/10: Get this game even if you don't like racing games. It's one of the best games of the year, not just in the racing genre.

9/10: If you've ever enjoyed a racing game you'll like this.

8/10: A great racer, racing fans of most kinds will have fun.

7/10: Fun racer with a few flaws. If you're not a racing fan this won't change your mind.

6/10: An above average racing game with some flaws worth checking out.

5/10: Moderate to hardcore racing fans will find enjoyment, casual racing fans may want to rent first.

4/10: Only the most hardcore racing fans will want to try it, casual racing fans shouldn't bother.

3/10: Lots of flaws, don't bother unless you're really dying for another racing game.

2/10: So flawed that even the most hardcore racing fan won't be able to find any enjoyment.

1/10: Unplayable garbage.

When you look at the full spectrum of a 10 point system it's clear to me that a 6.5/10 is not a bad score."

I really don't understand why you are upset about an example I gave of a perfect 10 or stating my opinion that a 6.5 is not a bad score.

I really wish more people would understand this rating system. 5 is an average game. It should actually be what most games score. Most rating systems are terribly over inflated. This is why people always find magazines like Edge "over critical" because they work on 5 being a normal perfectly functional game, but unspectacular.

Man I remember Official UK Dreamcast Magazine worked on this score system and I would sometimes find games they'd rated 4/10 perfectly enjoyable, but would also agree with the score they'd given it.

Personally from the 4-5 hours I've spent on Gravity Rush at the moment I'm finding about 7/10 is about right for it but it's each to their own and tbh, my 7/10 is probably beter than most people's 10/10s.
