Rating System

[strongbad]

This is the first of a few things that I would really like a community opinion on. What kind of rating system do you guys prefer in reviews? We're going to have quite a few reviews on the site and the rating system needs to be something universal that we can all agree on.

What are you guys into?

[ME##]

Using letter grades as a rating system seems to be the best to me.

[Thyme]

/10 ratings with .5 increments.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

A scale out of ten, with increments of .1.

[Thyme]

[Nyerp]

I think I prefer this one

why

[Samus Aran]

/10 with increments of .5, OR a letter grade, or both

[C.Mongler]

Adjectives. for example

Verdict: Awful
Verdict: The greatest game I've ever played
Vedict: Platypus Balls

[Hiro]

Scale of 1 to 10, increments of 1
But have 5 be "average", not "bad" like it usually is.

[Samus Aran]

Adjectives. for example

Verdict: Awful
Verdict: The greatest game I've ever played
Vedict: Platypus Balls

that's better suited as an addition to normal rating, coinciding with the sense of humor of the particular reviewer, if you ask me
