|Laguna| Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 I think its good they dumped the 5/5 system as it doesnt give an accurate view on what the games like. e.g 4/5=80% 5/5=100% you lose the ability to give a game a score between 81-99% and lots of games have got 5/5 but none of them are perfect and wouldnt get 100% normally. Well, on the scoring matter. It is my opinion that the degree to accuracy to which a score out of 100 gives is unnecessarily high. I mean, honestly, what’s the difference between a game that gets 61% and one that gets 68%? Although albeit out of 5 ratings aren't perfect but they will in the end encourage gamers to give good but not perfect titles a go, like Beyond Good and & Evil because the gap isn't too big between the game and a perfect score. Out of fives give easy differentiation, 1=appaling 2=bad 3=average 4=good 5=excellent However, I'd say the ideal scoring system is out of 10 because By making the reviewer only give ten scores to choose from, they are forced to be more selective in the one we choose.
