Re: RE: Simfile Warehouse. Comments? Suggestions?

People DO assume it's like grades and that a 6 is a D, etc.

even the harshest of critics will usually say "it was ok, blahblahblah, only 8/10".

So what you wind up with is 6 ratings for "bad", 2 or 3 for "okay", and 1 or 2 for "good."

Does this make sense at all?

I am the harshest of critics and I give most files 1/10 - 3/10. There are like two files I would give a 10/10 to.

yes I understand but it's not like people would translate it that way.

3 would be the new "bad" rating, 4 the new "ok" and 5 the new "good".

I doubt it. Note the huge turn in attitude of RPGamer's ratings when they switched to a 5-point scale.

It used to be that a 6 was for "really meh" games, now it's a 2.

Chardish makes more sense, but talisman has a point. Most critics (and by most I mean the dumbasses on BMS) give simfiles they really don't like a 6. Then if they find one they think is the worst thing ever they jump down to a 1 or a 2. This is based on a 10 point scale, of course. I don't like the 5 point idea, 10 gives you more room to work with.

Myself, pretty much the lowest I'm willing to go with a non-retarded simfile is a 5. To get below a 5, either the sync has to be off, or the steps have to be absolute trash. I know it still doesn't quite utilize the 1/2/3 area, but it's better than most.

Anyway, thanks for stopping all of the "war i get da cool arrow song can i hav greenday plz" threads. I'm happy that you guys are keeping it up regardless of BMS. The BMS community sucks anyway (I don't mean on the forums, I mean the people that rate simfiles and whatever).

Fine.

Make it 1-5, but add digits of .5.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? Chardish is getting at making people utilize the lower half of the rating system.

1.5 - bad ok
2 ok
2.5 ok good

The problem is that people associate a 5 with being really bad since a 5/10 would be a failing grade. With making it base-5, people will not have that association, and with .5 increments, they'd still be able to rate as accurately as on a system of base-10.

PS I agree with the base-5 rating idea.

You can just make the digits stars if people are going to have that association.
