Forums - Sales - prediction: Mario Kart 8 will outsell Destiny(PS4) in 2014 !!!

77 is 77, not 80.

what's your problem with that? 

77/100 is good, but not so good, of course not a masterpiece :)



I'm here also to improve my english, so tell me if you notice some errors.

WTF have to do what is wrote in the img if I'm using it to give you a example to teach you how scale works? lol

You are doing the same terrible and bad mistakes with grade scale that reviewers did last generation and every game was a 10/10 and now they are trying to fix it going with accurate scores.

Because its telling you how the scale is being currently used by reviewers. It is literally telling you that reviewers review based on the scale on the right. The very scale you are accusing me of using and which I am using, is the very scale which reviewers use to score their reviews.

That image is not telling you how I use the scale, in fact it has nothing to do with me. Its telling you the scale used by reviewers, it is perfectly natural and correct for me to use the exact same scale and say that a 7 is average because that is how it is being graded. You are quite dutifully defending my point.

You cannot change the scale to the left one when that is not how it was being used to begin with by the very reviewers reviewing, and as your own image is pointing out to you but you are failing to realize.



I agree. With Smash Bros. around the corner, it will only spark interest in other Wii U games, such as MK8. I say this because MK8's sales by Nintendo were not quite accurate and expected the console sales to increase by release of the software.

OMG!!!

 

I used the image to show you how wrong you are using the scale... instead to read "game reviews" read "Vena"... it is a example... I posted it lol

It is laughable come here and say in a public forum 7-8 is AVERAGE... please stop to shame yourself.

There s literally no spin in that post, I am explaining how fractions work to you.

Wait there is a good picture that shows what you are doing...

But I don't blame you... it is just how you are educated lol.

BTW I don't need to be explained when the right mathematical way to round a 7.7 is 8.


what about grades?

100 - 92% = A

91 - 82% = B

81 - 69% = C

68 - 50% = D

<50 = E

 

below 8/10 is C and thats not good. thats avarage.

eveything below 5/10 is awful. doenst matter if  2 or 4

 

im not only okay with that. this is the  way how it should be done. and it is

and as reviewers rate games in that scheme,  why should we not accapte the scores that way?

 

 

if reviewers would use the left side to rate the games destiny would be a 5.x and not a 7.7 game

so it doenst matter

 

 

 

destiny is upper tier of average*. period

 

*reviewers average opinion

I USED THE IMAGE LIKE A EXEMPLE TO SHOW YOU HOW BAD YOU ARE USING THE SCALE... I POSTED THE IMAGE.


Yes, you used it incorrectly however because its telling you how reviewers grade their games based on the right scale.

I am using the scale that they used. Destiny was graded using the right scale, not the left one. Therefore when looking at its score, its the right we use to analyze the score. Don't believe me? Look at how meta critic tiers its coloring scheme, where does yellow pop up? Hint: Its not at 5, its at 75, thats because Metacritic and all reviewers use the right scale and when you analyze the score you must also use the right scale.

What your image is trying to say, and what you're failing to realize in your ongoing fight with windmills, is that critics and metacritic should use the left scale where everything is clearly cut and scaled properly. But they do not. They should but don't. Its not saying that you should use the left scale irregardless because that makes no sense. You can't just change scales after the fact, thats a post-preori non-starter and one that will get you kicked out of any statistics class. Whatever the basis is set as apriori is the basis you have to use post-preori, and the whole point of the graphic was to make you aware of the fact that reviewers review based on the right side and not the left. Reviewers inflate their scores.

Destiny was rated based on the right scale. You cannot use the left scale. Simple as that.

You are wrong too... average is 5-6... C is 5-6.

1 = TERRIBLE (1-2) = E 
2 = BAD (3-4) = D
3 = AVERAGE (5-6) = C
4 = GOOD (7-8) = B
5 = GREAT (9-10) = A

You are using this bad scale.



No offense but you should stop making predictions because you are pretty bad at them
