This thread isn't about everyone giving a game the same score. Not that kind of Standard.
If you think the story of a RPG is garbage, fine... that game shouldn't get 0/10 or 1/10. The story is part of the score but not the entirety of it (almost half the score is my reasonable suggestion). If the story is masterpiece but there is awful gameplay, C&C, graphic and very weak sound effects and music that game shouldn't get more than 5/10.


But you've pretty much described Bioshock infinite, though maybe I'd change it to mediocre gameplay, forgetable sound effects and music.

I love quality voice acting. IMHO, the Female Shep scores a 10, while the Male Shep scores a 3.

I thought you meant like how to score, like compose. So I'll say, learn some music theory. Also, I'll score this post with a six out of ten with a 3/4 beat to compliment the rhythm of you saying all this out loud.

Do you feel powerful posting this?

Seriously though, what are these scores proving besides critical acclaim? This has nothing to do with your standardization.



lolwut? fite me in RL...

Yes it does. No serious reviewer gives it a 5/10 or 2/10. Only random idiots or emotionally unstable gamers might have done that.

WTF? Oh I get it, you want people to be shills for games you prefer. No "serious" reviewer? What does that mean? No wait, I shouldn't ask you, because you're biased. If I found a review of BioShock Infinite that the reviewer scored a 2/10 you would wave it off as "that person's an idiot". Even if it's from a sound perspective. And so I repeat..."Lol at standardizing peoples' opinions."

Stop it five.

Mr. relativist lulz-A-lot who agrees with nothing.

Welcome to the reality. We're all biased... specially RPG gamers.
If someone score BioShock Infinite, KOTOR or New Vegas 2/10 something is really wrong with him.
Plain hatred toward their franchises or video games in general, being emotionally disturbed (by something in those games or in general) and being bribed to give BS score can be the reasons to hate these games and rate them 2/10.

Not many constructive comments yet.

1) breaking down a game score into components assumes that all components are equally important to all games. In reality this isn't the case. Some games are all about story, other games have no story; some games are all about gameplay, others have little gameplay. Games should be judged for how well they do what they do mixed with the merits of what they do,
2) different people (including reviewers) have different tastes, different playstyles, different skill levels, different prejudices. If someone dislikes a genre that you like (or vice versa) does not mean there's anything wrong with them.
(Though I am bothered by one recent accusation that anyone who was NOT prejudiced against Japanese games was racist)

Your "1)" is what I'm trying to say. To compromise how important is a subject (e.g. story) in different genres (e.g. Racing or RPG) and then how much percentage it gets from the whole score. If you find the quality of story in a racing game or in a RPG low, mediocre or high you can rate it in accordance to their value (like 1/5 or 1/2 of total score) and consider other aspects of those games.

Your "2)" is the problem. Those who don't like a genre shouldn't bother scoring/reviewing them. It's just a waste of their times and readers'. As 1/10 means utter crap, a game should be really that bad to be scored that way, not because they don't like its genre.
If they're so eager to score anyway, they can at least try to listen to the last paragraph.

Sort of, but not really. It would be if reviews were supposed to be taken as some kind of truth as to the enjoyment one would find in a game. Of course low scores may make some people wary to try out one game or another but that's on them, not the reviewer. Just because a game has critical acclaim doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be good. Just because a game is terribly scored doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be utter garbage.

I suggest...

Buy: Easy to get into for many people
Rent: It's a bit of a niche
Skip: Don't you dare

Nah. Because it assumes that, in general, all casual games are worth a buy or that, in general, all niche games are only worth a rent. Any kind of score can be a bit detrimental to the point of a review anyway. Especially when that's all someone's looking for. It's harder to get the gist of a review if you're just skipping straight to the bullet points and/or numbers at the end. That's why I like watching Lord Karnage/ClassicGameRoom/Mark/Whateverhegoesby on YouTube. He'll tell you his experience with the game and you can take what you want from that. There's no score at the end of the review so you're probably paying more attention to what his impressions of the game were throughout the review. Because that's all you're getting.

out of ten...

3.5:Story
2.5:Music score
2:gameplay
1.Character
1.Environment

then subscores come into play with sub standings of the core to outer rim of the games universe

Thanks Cowboy Saunter. Good suggestion, still debatable...

I think I need to work more on this. I'm as structuralist as Russia! In few months or a year from now, I shall come with a systematic scoring no one can object.
