I didn't want to push decent and get flamed.
EDIT: see. (you should read the giantbomb review, certainly sounds like they thought it was decent)

Giant Bomb 3/5 = 6/10 is decent?eznark said:Ign, Giant Bomb, G4 gave it "decent" reviews.

So I guess Gamespy's 2.5/5 is more decent than Gamespots 5.5/10 since it's only 2.5 away from a perfect score. ~roll eyes~Zeliard said:You can't really compare it like that. 3 is two points away from a perfect score on a 5-point scale, while 6 is four points away on a 10-point scale. Both give you the same percentages but the scales are completely different.

3/5 according to Giant Bomb said:The halfway point. An inherent appreciation of this game's specific gameplay style, characters, subject matter, and so on may play as big a role in your enjoyment as the actual quality of the game.

Meta-Knight said:That kinda means decent to me...
That's definitely true, and the same goes for letter grades. If you think about it, it ends up almost completely invalidating what sites like gamerankings and metacritic do.Zeliard said:I'm talking about the scales. You can't convert a 5-point scale to a 10-point scale while having it mean the same thing. The only reason sites like Gamerankings and Metacritic do that is because they have to for the purposes of averaging out all scores on the same scale.
Slurmer said:"Xplay 4/5"
Seems they liked it, but I know they've been looking forward to it for a while now. Adam was all about it back when Xplay had their "Too Human" week or whatever it was.

You know that the Xplay reviews aren't written by Adam or Morgan most of the time, right? They just take turns reading reviews written from the same pool of writers.Kingpen said:This Xplay review, combined with some insider impressions I have heard have saved the game for me, and I will pick it up tomorrow. I respect Sessler's opinion, (just don't really care for M. Webb) I waivered after hearing the bomb reviews drop, but I realize that I did enjoy the demo, and I can really get into loot drop games. I put 40 hours into Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, and it would have been more if they had not put out a 'fun-sapping' patch for the game and basically ruined it.
I've heard Too Human is certainly better then KUF: COD, so I will take that advice and pick it up. Besides, if it is absolutely terrible, I'll chock it up as a slightly more expensive rental and trade it in toward Sacred 2.

So tell me, what's 3/5 and what's 2.5/5 for metacritic?Polari said:On a review scale, dumbasses.
Look I'm as big Dyack/Too Human hater as the rest of you, but don't be so fucking stupid. There's enough bad reviews out there, leave the grasping at straws to Denis.

Because the .5 difference from Giant Bomb's "decent" to Gamespy's "burn this game if you see it" shouldn't be that far.

Polari said:Agreed. My point is review scores don't scale. Of course, make a point that might possibly be construed as being in favour of Too Human in this thread and everyone has a field day. Idiots.
