[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="Giancar"] it would be exactly the same. 2 stars = 2/5ActicEdge

Beat me to it.

Well yeah but people are generally less annoyed about stars for some reason. I won't do that though, the critics are just gonna have toswallow it cause I'm gonna say what I think lol

Because just a few sites (or just one) uses that review system..If every site used that, it will have the same effect Using number of stars is still using numbers...

Yup but not every site uses it which is why its not as likely to annoy people. I really don't knowwhy but that is what I have observed. Anyway like I said, I'll stick to numbers, if people have a problem, then too bad. Worrying about annoying people is what leads to bias and incorrect reviews in the first place.

I still have Secret Of Mana on my SNES lol. The game is pretty easy aslong as you always upgrade your armor, the way it scales is kind of ridiculous.

I agree, its a problem. I don't know if you ever missed an upgrade but I tested this theory and the difficulty is just out of control in somee places. Its an awesome game but the enemy scaling in response to the levels is just too much. Its not well balanced imo.

There are times when i have replayed it, and bosses would just destroy me, and then i would realise "silly me i didnt upgrade my armor", then you go upgrade it and its easy xD Still a fun game though even if it is a bit unbalanced.

Oh yeah. I think its really fun. It had problems but it was a solid experience. I know some will think the 7.5 is harsh but I genuinely think its a good score.

[QUOTE="Willy105"]I don't like numerical scores anymore. I use the 5 star system now for myself.IronBass
What's the difference between using stars and numbers?

With stars you can pretend to b kewl on Giantbomb? Anyway is it REALLY easier to make a game than a comic?!

I'm not, I just think its arrogant to diss the work of others who do this to strengthen the SW community for nothing at all. If he has a problem cool, if he wants to be rude about it he'd best explain himself.
