>>42053292i find odd number scales more satisfying because it has an exact spot where the middle is. 5/10 is below the middle, 6 is above, and adding 5.5 ruins the point of having a number rating system with only 10 intervals.
Also the other issue with X/10 rating is that the average is 5 in theory, but 7 in practice because peoples idea of "i had fun, so it must have more good points than bad, otherwise i wouldn't have liked it" and give it a 7. When 5 should be a baseline of "enjoyable, but nothing special, it isn't at the point where i dislike more than i like but if there was more wrong with it, i'd be saying it was a bad game"
Of course, 5 is too small, 9 feels like it should just be 10, so 7 seems like the better number, that way there are 3 degrees above and below the centre.
Autistic, i know, but that's how i think about it.
