That's a fair assessment.

They're always fair, but I dunno, where I came from 78% was a low D.

everything wrong with game review scoring

The average score should be a 60% or something. If every game that is a 90+% perfection, what does the score even matter at this point.

>>378637857
seems about right, although I would go a little lower.

why can't more sites keep their personal views separate from objectively rating a game?

>>378637857

Why can't """"professional"""" sites be as good at reviews as CCG? Is knowing how to play games really that difficult?

>>378638402
Because money.

>>378638284
Blame me for being an old fart, when anything below a 75 was a failing grade. I'm not sure what fucking numbers are used now.

What school did you go to? I went to a Jesuit Highschool and they were stricter than my college, they had a weird 7-point kind of scale where a 92 was a B+ and a 93 was an A- for example. College was the normal 10 point scale.

Money has literally nothing to do with objective vs opinion reviews

>>378638402
>objectively rating a game
No such thing.

>they had a weird 7-point kind of scale
I had that in my elementary school that got phased out for the 10pt system early on, I'd say late 90s.

>>378638818
Magazines have been beholden to giving good scores in exchange for early access and ad revenue since the 80s. It's not as bad as electronics reviews which are entirely glorified ad placement, but it's still fucked all the way through.

No I blame you for not using different scales for different measurements asshole.

Do you use inches to measure what temp is it outside?

>>378638880
Sure there is, you just need to limit your review to facts.

State what the game contains in terms of content and gameplay, mention any bugs or errors. Pay attention to graphical fidelity and performance rather than style.
Those things can be of objective quality.

It stops being objective when you use more adjectives than nouns.

>>378639049
Uh oh, post got deleted for telling the truth.

>>378638746
100-95 was an A
94-89 was a B
88-80 was a C
79-75 was a D
74-0 was a F

This was in the 90s though. >>378638969 10pt seems to be the norm now.

>>378639280
It's set by the department or instructor. Most are 10 point, but 8 isn't uncommon depending on the nature of the content. Converting it into a GPA is where it gets really fucked up. Anything over a 93 is a 4.0 in some places.

>colleges that do A-s but not A+s

>>378637984
It's a high C to me

Going to date myself here but when I was in school it was

90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
0-59 F

>>378639513
I suppose it is all based on where we're from. Kentucky schools were pretty rough on the scoring system.
