| HoloDust said: I really don't care about MC, or the way big publications score their reviews. I tend to rate games from 1-5 stars system in which: 0 stars = 0-5 (or 0-4) 1/2 star = 6-15 (or 5-14) 1 star = 16-25 (or 15-24) 1 1/2 star = 26-35 (or 25-34) 2 stars = 36-45 (or 35-44) 2 1/2 stars = 46-55 (or 45-54) 3 stars = 56-65 (or 55-64) 3 1/2 stars = 66-75 (or 65-74) 4 stars = 76-85 (or 75-84) 4 1/2 stars = 86-95 (or 85-94) 5 stars = 96-100 (or 95-100) This is something I believe AdventureGamers.com reviewers are using (I might be wrong though, but that's how I've interpreted it) and I like that there's actual range for every half-step, instead of fixed X/10 or XX/100. In this system I'll consider all games with 3 stars or more, and occasionally even with 2 1/2 stars. But in the end, reviews are mostly just personal opinions, there are plenty of games I love that have low(er) and plenty of those I think are bad that have very high scores. |
I prefer a star system too, because a star system actually use every note available, a shitty game get 1 star, instead of 40/100 on metacritic. Which is completely stupid.
It's also way less punitive I think.
