| Conina said: No, I'm not arguing against reviews in general, I'm arguing against reviews without a score. Gradient scores allow a quick comparison of games (of the same genre), which helps with the preselection. If I want to buy a new action-adventure and 100 of the 300 new action-adventures are in the "good category", I don't want to read 100 reviews (or 200 or 300 for different opinions. Instead I want to sort these 100 good games by score and then read the reviews of the top 10. And if I want to gift a bad game to my friend for the lulz, I want to gift a REAL bad one... without reading through hundreds of reviews. So a sorting option by score is also welcome for bad games. |
Your argument applies to reviews in general so that point you tried to make is against reviews as a whole regardless of what grading system is used.
- Quick comparisons can be done with a verdict as well, just read the final summary and pros and cons.
- If you're looking for the top 10 as you say they'd be easy to find as they would be the games people are hyping up the most, social media and all would do that for you.
- You don't need to read hundreds of reviews only one or two will suffice if you're looking for a bad game, again the summary can be used for a quick read.
