No, I've not come across anything creepy yet but I haven't played much. The atmosphere is good though, when outside everything is vibrant and colourful and (without spoiling anything) I've been in rooms where it's dark and there's electricity flickering and the atmosphere really changes.

I've never seen a TV host rate in 100's either, and the fact that the most common dice is d6, six sided, rating from 1 to 6 is actually natural and sensible. He actually use a huge six sided die to illustrate the score, which again makes 1-6 a natural choice.

Now, do any of you dillweeds feel the need to argue that point any further?

Stop being an obnoxious **** for five minutes.

One to six isn't necessarily a natural choice because of the die - design would often follow after the decision. That said, surely you can understand the more conventional methods of rating out of 100 (percentage) or 5 (not sure why this took off but it obviously did) if you think rating out of six is so normal? I assume that is all anyone is getting at - nothing earth-shattering in that I would suspect.

My point was actually that it wasn't any less natural than the implied 1-100. Unless one is completely oblivious to rating, 1-6 is perfectly fine and just as easy as 1-100. Nobody is accurate enough in their assessment to actually make use of the whole 1-100 scale anyway. Now that I've thought about it, 1-6 is actually much better in every way. There isn't an argument that you can propose opposing my view that I can't kill with didactics, math or logic.

Honestly, if someone doesn't get or understand 1-6 they don't get 1-100 either and vice versa... why this became a discussion is beyond me. It started with that extremely intelligent remark earlier which really didn't have anything to do with the information I shared out of the "goodness of my heart"...

No, 1-100 and 1-5 is NOT more conventional at all. Measuring soul works or "art" in percentage is actually directly stupid if anything. I assume you imply 1-5 as the "small scale percentage" (x20) and a fine way to grade if you ditch the percentage angle.

In Norway it must be a common thing, Anders Breivik was rated 6/6 for his successful attacks in 2011

You just dwarfed him by managing a 7 out of 6 in pure stupidity, though... congrats!

It's a discussion because as soon as somebody questioned the 1-6 rating scale you said one must have been living under a rock to not have seen it used. I have never seen anything rated out of six. 1-100, 1-10, 1-5, these are scales I see every day in movie reviews,game reviews etc.

1-100 makes more sense than 1-6, especially to anyone who uses currency or maths in their every day life (ie everyone): 100 pennies make a pound, 100% etc etc

Now. please show me a mainstream media outlet that rates out of six and your comment will be accurate, if not......

Now, fall on your knees and kiss my feet.


EDIT;

The written article of the review I was referring to;
http://www.vg.no/spill/artikkel.php?artid=10101802

The actual TV version is linked somewhere on that page as well.

Since I am a mathematician myself, I can also shed some light on some of your arguments. Percentage is a natural choice when referring to completion of [something], because percentage is meant for concretes and other grades (like 1-6) are better for inconcrete situations like more or less subjective assessments of [something]. Last time I checked, there wasn't any education that qualified you for grading computer games, which basically makes all these reviews and grades "unqualified" by definition and European standard, i.e. potentially highly subjective. If you give an unqualified person a work area from 1 to 100 he WILL be more inaccurate than if he worked with 1-6. That is also why I included the little information that "he usually is fair" or something similar, because I know that reviews in general are baloney at best.

PS. If 1-100 was so damn natural, then it would have been the way we rated school grades but we use A-F (basically 1-6) or 1-6. Argument won by me, case closed...

"Grades from 1-6 is natural because there are two levels of poor, two levels of mediocre and two levels of good. 1-6 is versatile, detailed and yet easy to work with." (translated from Norwegian teachers curriculum plan of 2012)

...and nailed.

What about A* and U?

The only way a 6-point scale is utilised is if it goes 0-5. With 0 being an available score to give. Otherwise, I really think this must be a Norway exclusive idea.

Anyway, the game should arrive tomorrow. :)

Just watched some footage of this on eurogamer, I wasn't going to bite, but it looks rather awesome, and some mid game spoiler I read on neogaf makes the plot sound awesome. Think i'll trade in some Wii U games towards this.

I said "mainstream"

Just because it is common in Norway does not mean it is used regularly anywhere else in the world. But seeing as Norway is the world super power it is, i'm sure everyone will adopt it soon.....

We are the richest country in the world, and we are one of the best countries to live in according to the "mainstream" method of dividing gross revenue/inhabitants. Toilet washers in Norway make more money than lawyers in England, for example.

In case you didn't already know, money IS power.

Says the mathematician who came up with "facts" he made up and is so smart he doesn't even know what season a transfer relates to. Trolling at its finest.....except it isn't even that.

You'll reply, you can't help yourself. With said reply, you will receive a ban. Warning clear enough? Rhetorical question.

"What am I getting a ban for?" Being a troll, having a huge chip on your shoulder, your inferiority complex..I really could pick a few more valid reasons. Abuse of power? You're suffering an abuse of assumed intelligence, imagine what you'd do with internet power dangerous one.

I expect you to attempt to "go out on a high". That will be factored into the ban. It might be an hour-long ban, it might be a ten-year ban. That's really up to you. If you "don't care" you wouldn't respond in the first place.
