This probably has been clarified before, so I apologize, but if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. So long story short, reading Patrick's Backtracking, and he mentions American Nightmare, which he gave 3 stars. I get to thinking what that means, and if the Remedy guy is miffed that the guy who interviewed him about Diablo also gave his latest game a 60%. Or is it 60%? After thinking about it, I would now would like to posit a question:
Is the giantbomb review scale absolute (0 star = 0 %, 1 star = 20 %, 2 star = 40 %, 3 star = 60%, 4 star = 80%, 5 star = 100 %)
OR
is the giantbomb review scale like a school grade ( 0 star = less than 50 %, 1 star = 50 - 60 %, 2 star = 60 - 70 %, 3 star = 70 - 80 %, 4 star = 80 - 90 %, 5 star = 90 - 100 %)?
My guess it is the school grade one, but if anyone knows the official stance on this, that would be great (I know review scores don't matter as much as the words, but I am curious about this).
And which scale do you prefer?
