We've discussed this before, but why can't we use a 10 point scale? |
There were a few reasons I avoided the 10 point scale:
1. The average platinum ratings on playstationtrophies.org are fluid, especially for new games. Ratings can easily change from 5.2 to 4.8. Having a 5 point scale lessens the frequency of having to make updates to the ratings here.
2. I figured with a 10 point scale there would be an increase in debates over ratings, compared to a 5 point scale. There would be more instances of "If this game is rated as a 5, then this other game should at least be a 6".
3. It wouldn't be a true 10 point scale because all averages are greater than 1, and less than 10. Therefore, how would the scale work?
Between 1 and 1.99 = 1
2 and 2.99 = 2
3 and 3.99 = 3
...
9 and 9.99 = 9
What about 10? :)
