Someone with a very high opinion of a video game, but also one I don't necessarily trust because perfection can't really be met

I agree that perfection can't really be met and therefore using 10/10 often is very bad for conveying what you think of something, but I can kind of understand when someone uses it in comparison to all the other games (at least in that genre) they've played before.

5/5 carries less weight than 10/10

either "this guy really likes this thing, that's cool" or "this guy is kind of a pretentious asshole" depending on circumstances

Are you a secret prophet or something? How did you manage to post such a relevant image to this thread before the anime even came out...

anime get announcements and previews...

10/10 doesn't exist. There is always a flaw. Everything is flawed and imperfect. Yes, including your waifu, fight me.

>>120565
Where's the flaw?

Vision tests?
Somebody who refuses to cancel obvious bloat in a fraction?
Also, pic related, I guess.

>>120565
On the one hand, any time this discussion comes up it's really hard to find people advocating the idea that truly flawless works exist and it's much more about the work being elevated far beyond its peers, the summit of a particular current, so at this point your argument is kind of a strawman.
On the other, I read Blood Meridian recently and I can assure you it's a 10/10.

I somewhat agree given that 5/10 would be average 10 would really only be for something absoulutley fantastic. But that's the issue with reviews, everybody has a different rating and metric so it lacks consistency.

you know, it's got nice animation and draws characters well
maybe a bit of trouble here and there with plot coherence but it works well enough for fans of the source material

What the heck am I reading? Blue Archive, right? When I looked at threads for it people aren't even talking about the anime and instead doujin stuff or gacha events. It's no wonder it's so low quality when it doesn't need to be anything else.

>>115646
Have to agree with this. Everything that I have been told is a 10/10 or a 'masterpiece' has been slightly impressive at best or massively disappointing at worse.

Some people assume that product quality is a bell curve, centered on the the middle of the likeability spectrum. This leads to the center being the most common mark, and the extremes the least common (or even taboo).
That is an assumption. There is no evidence that it is true. And by making the full point scores so rare, you are creating an exclusive label. This can easily turn from merely a personal judgement to a confirmation of your community's values and then into something yet more perverted.
"Look here upon the Great Classics. This is what [medium] should aspire to be. Unfortunately, modern creators only care for money."

It is hard to measure enjoyment. It's a subjective experience. It not only varies from person to person, but also between repetitions of the same stimulus. And that is precisely why we all are so vulnerable to having assumptions as described above distorting our judgements. Distorting? Arguably, we would not be able to give a judgement at all if not for a framework. Assumptions are, in a way, necessary.
But I want to propose, as an alternative, a flat fun curve. Where the enjoyment spectrum can easily be divided into n different segments with each segment containing as many items as every other one. n/n would be no smaller a set than (n-1)/n.

I have a folder full of images of cute anime characters extending fingers in talking poses for the purpose of being posted alongside walls of text. But every time I write up a wall of text and his [Submit], I find that it is accompanied by no such image.
