Bored. had an urge to make a conversion list for gaming review scores into meaningful comments. dunno why.
10 - Unfathomably Good/Perfect For It’s Time (Must buy for all)
9 - Outstanding/Excellent (Must buy for those dedicated to the medium)
8 - Great/Very Good (Outright Recommend, almost pushed)
7 - Good (Encouraged to try)
6 - OK/Decent (Only for the fans)
5 - Mediocre/Competent (Only for the big fans)
4 - Poor/Nigh Incompetent (Only for crazy fans)
3 - Incompetent/Mess (Rent at own risk, Make even crazy fans disappointed)
2 - Few/No Redeeming Qualities. (Avoid playing for free, Will make fans weep)
1 - Abysmal/Antithesis To Fun (Laugh or be depressed at how bad it is)
0 - Antithesis to fun, a game, and possibly sanity (Shouldn’t exist, maybe doesn’t)
Note: The term “Fans” can refer to anyone that likes/loves a franchise or genre.
why did you do this btw! game journalism is kind of notirous for it's ridicilous aspiration to quantify games into values and a dumb criterion. you really can't determine games subjective value into objective one and metacritic is the worst in this regard. if you see anybody arguing otherwise then assume that it's juris or edc (both argue for the sake of arguing).
it's not really exaggerated to say that this tradition of reviewing games through scores is one of the biggest barricades that prevent it to ever become anything meaningful or even progress beyond MMM PERFECT GREAT 3D GRAPHICS 94 / 100. newest Disgaea somehow striking into the japfagger reviewer's soul (yesss pantyshots) thus it gets higher scores at Edge than what Deus Ex ever did...
even if you disagree with the expression side of this problem i'm sure you agree that right now commercial games are not selling very well, cost too much to make and most importantly are really plastic and boring! you know GEARS OF WAR. every fps i've seen for the past two years looks like either gears of war or mass effect.
