5/10 is bad

>5/10 is bad
>7/10 is average
Why even use the 0-10 scale for reviews in the first place if there just gonna pull off stupid shit like this? Last I checked, 10/2 =5

If you got half the answers on a test wrong, you have not demonstrated knowledge of a topic.

this isnt an exam, dingus.

Assigning a number to something qualitative is fundamentally retarded.

This.
Mainly there’s usually too much to games to just throw a number at it

It's not, most people can determine whether they like something better than something else so assigning numbers is a simple progression from that natural tendency.

It's how people grade though. The default "average" performance for everything is 70% good. Since the average person thinks that average is a 7/10, average is 7/10. Average isn't just "the middle". That's median.

4/10

that's still wrong, though. just because everyone out there today is a bumbling fucking country bumpkin, that doesn't mean they're right. everyone can still be wrong.

I dont know how people use these big ass scales. I just use 5. Bad - below average - average - above average - good.

I could never parse a 7.6 from a 7.3 or whatever, especially since games can run the gamut of 30 minutes to 30 hours (and beyond).

It's not though. Statistically, games considered average score 7/10. Therefore the average is 7/10.

No lol.

0 out of 3 simple as

>Universal scoring scales.
>10/10s even though a perfect game is impossible.
>Caring about numerical values attributed to video games more than the game itself.

5/10 is mediocre
6/10 is nice
7/10 is good
8/10 is great
9/10 is near kino
10/10 is cinematic masterpiece.

there you go: if 5 is the equivalent of having nothing to do, a 4 is a slight displeasure

5/10 is the starting point, because I wouldn't waste my time and money on a bad game in the first place.

but the average is still 5, though. five is not mediocre, five is literally the average.

1/10 = really shit
2/10 = shit
3/10 = bad
4/10 = kinda bad
5/10 = mediocre
6/10 = ok
7/10 = good
8/10 = really good
9/10 = great
10/10 = near perfect

isn't "mediocre" and "average" mean basically the same thing?

That's not what an average is you niggerman

If there's 10 ratings, and 5 were scored 8 and 5 were scored 6, then yes, those scored 7 are the average.

imo. average mean nothing.

But thats not how it happens and everyone knows it.
So either its all bullshit or it has a rule thats universally followed. Which one is it?

Skip it
Rent it
Buy it

The only 3 ratings you need.

I makes my own bias determinations.

The latter. Most games today are 7/10, aka forgettable, flawed but entertaining for most people enough hence average.
You to be truly shit or cause a scandal to score 5/10 like Fallout 76.
