    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    a “most favorite” to “least favorite” slider is better than 1-10 because nobody uses all the numbers.

    What if every slider had the other games you've rated shown on the slider and you have to rate the one you're working on between the ones you've already done?

    Quoted from Daditude:

    I have no issues with a "10" rating.
    A "1" rating on the other hand...i just can't imagine.

    How would this work in a rating system? If your scale is 1-10 but nothing on the scale can be a one then you really have a 2-10 scale. What is the purpose of a one in such a system?

    Setting an objective criteria is impossible for some things (art). Other things it’s impractical to measure (flow) because there is no clear definition.

    Bottom line is defining a criteria is hard and bad actors will usually find a way to game the system if there is any incentive to do so.

    Quoted from SWfan:

    I think the Hyperloop “toy” is one of a kind

    #getaway-high-speed-ii
    Nascar
    Both have a wireform the ball rides on as it’s propelled around the playfield.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    1 is supposed to represent something that is absolutely terrible with practically no redeeming qualities, while 10 represents a game that is almost flawless. If there were only three pins in existence, say, PinBot, Twilight Zone, and Wizard of Oz, you wouldn't rate one of them a 1/10 for being the worst of the three, since they're all fantastic.

    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    even if there were only 3, one would be at the bottom and one would be at the top. That’s just how rankings work.

    Ranking and rating are different. If we use a rating scale mystman12 has proposed they are right, everything can be a ten. If you use a ranking scale then something has to be the lowest and something the highest.

    Slight tangent, watch for that kind of misleading presentation when you're looking at charts or statistics. If someone wants to present something as very bad they sometimes use a scale that puts 'the thing' at the very bottom but if you investigate you'll find the scale used only makes it appear bad when in reality all the things were pretty close.
