They cut off all decimals, everything was rounded down, not just OoT.

Then there is a problem. This has nothing to do with the reviews. It has to do with screwing with the math. Rounding is not down or up by your choice.


Actually it is their choice.

 


No. The laws of math don't work that way. If they actually decided that every review was lower than they thought, then okay. If they were just deciding to blanket adjust, based on the numbers, and not their reviews of the games, they are fudging the numbers.

If they had originally decided OoT was close, but no 10, as other suggested, that would not be an issue, but every game with a decimal above 5 are close, but not those numbers? That is just wrong. That is just hacking off the second numbers. That isn't real adjustment, that is being lazy.


Rounding is not a mathematical law, it is convention. Plus, as was just mentioned, this was truncated rather than rounded.

his thread is silly as all of the other games on the site recieved the same treatment. Besides, I think it makes sense, these people rated some games 9.5 to 9.9 for a reason, they didn't think it quite made the workings of a '10' game. If they did tha, then we would have some people complaining how many 10's they just threw around... you can't please everyone.
