| Wyrdness said: You should already have an idea of which outlets have views or tastes that line up with your own, You have an outlet where EVERY reviewer has views and tastes that line up with your own? Most outlets have no consistency in their reviews and have different reviewers with different opinions. Not every reviewer tests every game. Do you ignore games which aren't tested by your favorite reviewer? tell me what exactly does this finer classification really add other than a load of cluttered numbers It adds more quality gradients for better comparisons. There are a lot of games which are right between "average" and "good". Why not put them in their own category between "average" and "good"? There are also games that are much better than most of the "good" games. Why not put them in their own category of "very good / great" games? many of which aren't even used Which scores aren't used? Only the scores on the bottom of the bottom. Are there games soooooo bad that they would deserve a worse score than "Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust". Sure, I've seen a lot worse on Steam or in the AppStores. But most professional reviewers don't waste their time with this crap, they have limited time resources and focus on better games. Three outcomes tells you what you need to know about the game. No, maybe it tells YOU what YOU want to know about the game. Other people would prefer a simple thumb up or down. And many people prefer a scale with finer gradients. |
