Retro Review - Gyruss

I'm not talking about rounding stuff up or down, but about the huge difference you credit to a percent's worth of difference. Noone is reading 79 as good and 80 as very good, they are reading it as 79/100 and 80/100. I think you are confusing letter grades and scales with increments of 10% with a scale that is far more granular. Would 79.9999999999 be good while 80.0 very good?

[VisionThing]

Yes, 7 would be good, 8 very good. However you are reviewing on a scale of presumably 0-100, meaning the difference between 79 and 80 is so small it doesn't even register. We are talking about a difference of 1%, not of an entire grade.

In this case, why would there even exist anything between a 76-80. It's a small difference yes, but I just can't round up the score because of this. The games good, just not very good, it's very close but it is just not quite there.

[VisionThing]

You can't give it an 8 so you give it a 7.9? Geez, talk about high granularity, you are actually talking about a 1% difference here.

7 is good. 8 is Very Good. Due to the shortcomings the game has I can't give it a very good 8 score so I gave it the next best thing, a 7.9
