1-6.9 is bad. 7-7.9 isn't very good. 8-10 is good.

That's pretty much how every journalistic review site reads. I don't score that way, I'd consider something that's mediocre but playable a 4/10, okay a 5/10, and 6/10to 10/10 are varying ranks of good. 6/10 to 10/10 as a good game atleast gives a better idea of how much better of a game it is than everything being ranked an 8/10 to 10/10.

For example. Say Final Fantasy 1 through 10 are the only RPGs ever released and let's just say all of them were good. They're not going to be completely equal and you're going to have a different opinion about all of them. Rating all 10 games 8/10 to 10/10 doesn't really give you an idea on how much better one is than the other. Obviously there's more than 10 games developed, so a lot of games are still going to be rated the same, but five different ratings give you more of an idea of a games difference in quality than three.
