| Wyrdness said: Scores on reviews are an outdated metric especially as the scale is inconsistent for example in Edge 5/10 is average but for most reviews anything below 7 is bad as 7 tends to be average which is stupid because you have 3 numbers for how good something is and 6 for how bad something is when all we need to know is whether a game is just bad, average or good, a verdict system not only does this but can have a pros and cons section with the verdict which would have a small summary with it anyway if you don't want to go through the written review. |
How do you decide, which reviews are worth your time when you want some new games?
Or do you read reviews of every of the thousands of games released each year? Or do you just ignore most of the games due to lack of time to read their reviews?
Why is simple classification which allows only three outcomes (good, average, bad) better for a preselection than a finer classification where you can see, which games barely made it into the "good" category and which ones are much better?
And it is a lot more informative, when you have 3 numbers (out of 10) for how good something is (or 30 numbers out of 100) than when you have just 1 number for how good something is.
