About Our Ratings System
|
|
|
We are proud of our ratings system here at gameDivision. We have been refining it for over a decade, based on reader feedback and telephone surveys, and we believe it is the most accurate and scientifically based in the industry. Rather than relying on a simple numerical system, which cannot capture the shades of meaning vital to an informative review, we use a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures in six categories. This allows our reviewers to precisely rate the games, and allows the readers to intuit the biases and prejudices which are normally invisible using standard review categories. For example, attentive readers may notice that Churchbird generally leans towards an MR on the higher frequency end of the spectrum, even for fighting games he doesn't like; Naseem might give the same game a "Verdant" or even "Sable" rating, but paired with an S of "Imminent", the overall review comes out the same, despite their diametrically opposed views on most games (something no standard numerical system could hope to duplicate). We are constantly striving to improve our rating system, so please let us know what you think! Categories
