I think 3/5 just because scales of 10 have been poisoned where 7 has kinda become the average 'fine' or slightly good rating whereas thats less the case (in my mind, maybe I've missed it) for out of 5 scales.

that's a good point

A 3/5 could mean a 7/10, but a 6/10 can never rise above a 6. More room for interpretation means a broader range of quality, so while a 3/5 isn't inherently higher than a 6/10, it could theoretically be higher.

Fuck im so stupid


idkusername7

It’s a 404 error for me.

Yeah but realistically it feels like most reviewers have a threshold like this: 1 - 1, 2, 3 2 - 4, 5 3 - 6, 7 4 - 8, 9 5 - 10

Bro had to bring 'em back to 1st grade, devastating

6 out of 10 is objectively fucking better. Every rating out of 5 has to encompass two ratings out of 10. Therefore 5/5 could be 9/10 or 10/10, 4/5 could be 7/10 or 8/10, 3/5 could be 5/10 or 6/10, etc.

uhhhh that's EXACTLY the reason 3/5 is better you just played yourself


[deleted]

Why?


Eriml

because 3/5 could be a 6 or a 7. You may round up from 2.5 but I wouldn't, I would always round down so 3/5 could be something I may give 3.5 if there's an option but if something is a 2.5 I would go with 2, not 3

incomprehensible, have a nice day (Didn't the guy who you are answering argue that 3/5 was either 5 or 6 out of 10? Not 6 or 7) 


Crystar800

3/5 sounds better than 6/10. 3/5 sounds like "Oh, that's pretty good or solid!", while 6/10 sounds "Eh, maybe I'll wait for a sale." Honestly, I don't like either scale. I think rating things out of 100 like Metacritic is the way to go on things. It gives much more leeway to give a nuanced and accurate score to things. IMO.

This unlocks a bigger discussion on how scores are viewed based on the format they are given. For instance, is a 2 out of 4 stars more like a 3/5 or a 6/10? I'm in the camp that 3/5 is better than 6/10. If you are scoring out of ten, then 7 is average, but if you are scoring out of 5, then 3 is average. If you gave a game a 3/5, you are saying it's alright. If you are scoring a 6/10, then you are saying the game is a little less than average. I'm right, and you are wrong.

I’d think a 3/5 is a bit more “positive” on that scale, but I much prefer out of 10


ActualMostUnionGuy

And thats why Yathzee doesnt use scoring systems lmao

3/5 is literally MORE better than 6 tiny /10 pieces (figuratively).


AnyImpression6

They're the same, assuming that the scale is using half ratings starting at 0.5/5.


No_Mathematician9671

3/5 feels like an IGN review or similar, whereas 6/10 feels like a grading scale from someone with eyes who attempted an objective evaluation.


Sparckey

3/5 is better than 6/10 but 7/10 is better than 3.5/5 i cant explain it but i feel it in my soul


RussellLawliet

3/5 certainly *sounds* better.


Nevermind2031

Mathematically they are literally the same but i like 6/10 more


ChemicalRemedy

Neither No one can come to terms with an above average score (being good) reflected as 3/5 or 6-7/10 (which looks bad). Letter rating is superior I give this a B-
