Eh. Why ascribe ulterior motives to people that give low scores?


There's another way of looking at this. I'll use a real life example.

Based on the reviews I've seen, the consensus score for Bonk's Adventure is about a 9.

My personal score for it would be a 4 -- and that's generous (I'm often kept up nights wondering if I should have given it a 3).


Now, it might seem more reasonable... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/sreply/3815 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 22:55:46 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Huh... ]]> http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/reply/3814/t/Huh-.html#reply-3814 feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/sreply/3814 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 16:28:35 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Huh... ]]> http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/reply/3813/t/Huh-.html#reply-3813

Sadly, Gamefaqs has a healthier diversity of opinions! The first ten scores there are

9, 8, 10, 10, 9, 9, 6, 7, 9, 9


You could probably subtract five points from each score, and rate them each out of five. 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, 4, 2, 3, 4, 4 probably targets the reviewers' opinions a little better, anyways.

No diversity of opinion!

I wouldn't necessarily say that giving God of War a 10/10 is an unreasonable opinion. But, come on, EVERY professional game reviewer thought it deserved that? (Or for those that rate on a 100 point scale, a 9.8, or a 9.4... anything so long as it's above a 9)

Differentiating the Critics

There are essentially four types of film critics, and there's not a lot of love lost between members of the different groups. That doesn't mean we can't get along, but it's like putting Democrats and Republicans in the same room. As long as you don't talk "shop," you're usually on safe ground.
