When writing the score, say for IGN, do we need to write 10/10 or just 10?

10 out of 10

So we can only look at the average score of the critics reviews after it get accepted & not which site gave which score?
Because I am getting multiple critics for the same game from different persons and cannot see if a critics score from the same site has already been accepted or not.
And if we accept the same sites score twice will this change the average score or will it not be counted?
Until I get some answers I will NOT accept anymore critics.
Sorry.

Well.
I tested it a bit more with accepting three critics from the same site (all for MGS4 and I could see them all because they were in the job queue at the same time) and it seems it actually does affect the critics count itself as well as the score average.

Cool, I didn't expect this to be implemented so soon.

Anyways, a few tiny requests.

1) when accepting, it would be nice (for at least the print magazines) what the score is out of. We can verify against other sources, but they scale it to out of 100. So say a magazine is F-A+ or 0-5 and the user submits an 90. Without seeing it displayed after we accept, we don't know what the scale is out of.

2) It would be nice if the reviews were auto-sorted by review source name, so they always show up in the same order on every page. It would also be nice if we had the option to sort by score, but I don't care too much for that since the list is so short.

@hatmoza
This feature is for more than users just looking at other scores. Developers use metacritic scores to estimate potential sales, so why not build a database that has historic sales with scores, and then see if we can use that information to make our data better. Pretty much every improvement we make on the game database can be used for research or better estimations.

Cool feature, although I hope VGChartz reviews remain the centre of attention.

1) Can do - but you SHOULD be verifying the link that's submitted as well, so you'd be able to see the score there and make sure it's accurate. Regardless, not a big deal to add.

 

1) Of course, I was more concerned about the print magazines, since I don't know what the scales are for them.

I might be blind, but is the only way to get to the review list really to click "(critic)" then the "6.6" critic average number? (yeah that's conduit's average).
Cause otherwise I can only see user reviews :p



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I don't really understand the Gameplanet website. It's in spanish and I can't seem to find the review...



Yeah, this is interesting. I'm-a gonna try it.
