What's the difference? Basic math!!

 

A 7.5 compared to a 9.0. The 8.0's seem to be undercutting it, and a 7.5 i.e 75% is lower again. If you still don't understand, let me explain in a more basic way. If a man has 80 children and 75 chocolate chips, 5 children will not get a chocolate chip. If he has 80 chocolate chips., each child will get a chocolate chip. In this scenario, the better the game, the more points it receives. Because 80 would be a higher number than 75, 75 would indicate that the game is worse than games that were rated, say for example, a 76 or a 79.

 

Again, Basic Math!! My 3 year old understand. And she watches Super Why! Is it a big deal to me? NO! But many people will google it, see 75 and avoid it. That is a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless.

75 people to 80 people dont' compare to a 7.5 to 8.0 game rating. Why? Because the 75 to 80 people are a greater difference in number in that there's 5 people between the two. These games are rated on a .5 scale which means there's basically 1 point separating the two. If any idiot will buy an 8.0 game but avoid a 7.5 game then he shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions in life... at all! And way to be a condescending asshole man. Congratulations!

Hm... Seems like my prediction of 87 wasn't that bad after all.

Ok, good scores. I find some reviews odd. Some of them say "Wah, too many babies not enough diversity" and then in the same review say something like "whats up w/ all these kart options? too many for a simple kart game". /shrug.

Still good overall. Oh and 7.5...there always has to be one cool kid that's hipster.

Battle mode was always something I skipped anyways.

Me, too. I played around 1 hour battle mode in my life and I have all MK games.



That's close enough to my 92 prediction :P

I can see your comment is full of emotion!

Wow, those are some really good reviews. No doubt it will be above 85.
