GI also gave it a 7 (well the 2nd reviewer did).

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)

[Farnack]

Ign, Giant Bomb, G4 gave it "decent" reviews.

Giant Bomb 3/5 = 6/10 is decent?

[Polari]

Giant Bomb 3/5 = 6/10 is decent?

Since when did 3/5 = 6/10?

[Zeliard]

Giant Bomb 3/5 = 6/10 is decent?

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.

A 7 = good game on the majority of web sites and gaming mags. I would say that is more than decent in their eyes.

Out of all the reviews I have read for the game, GS's is by far the weirdest. They really just disliked the game. Then again, GS hasn't been taken seriously for nearly 2 years now by me considering all of the people who could actually review games left or got fired.

Since... since ratios were invented?

[sillymonkey321]

Since when did 3/5 = 6/10?

Since we don't want 3/5 to be decent which it is.

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~

Gamepro's was pretty positive with an 8, well 4/5, as well. Ars Techina's writeup was fairly good too.

[WrikaWrek]

Since when did 3/5 = 6/10?

Think about it.

[Meta-Knight]

Giant Bomb 3/5 = 6/10 is decent?

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.

That kinda means decent to me...

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.

actually "inherrant appreciation" means BURN IT WITH FIRE!!

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.

"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.

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.

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.

actually, Giant Bomb's 3 stars don't equal 60%, but knowing that would require reading.

Adam wrote this one. He's been playing it for two and a half weeks and still loves the shit out of it.

Let me guess, you were home schooled and Evolution is "just a theory"?

[CoG]

It translates to 60 at Metacritic same as 6/10 so at the end of the day that's all that really matters.

3/5 = 6/10 = 9/15 = 12/20 = 15/25. etc.....which takes up back to 3/5, junior.

But I second the motion that he receive a tag for meritorious conduct in doing the maths :lol

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.

So tell me, what's 3/5 and what's 2.5/5 for metacritic?

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

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.

i dont think anyone even cared what the context was in relation to Too Human, to be honest Polari.

But hey it's a good cover, run with it

[Poimandres]

When I see 3/5 I think "decent"

When I see 6/10 I think "average"

Technically, they equate, but they seem to imply different levels of quality. Perhaps it is my perceptions that are at fault.

Why isn't this narrated by Sessler or Webb? Did they leave they show, or has the format changed? I haven't watched in a few years....
