Percentages for ratings

Does anyone know what percents a game would be called overwhelmingly positive, very positive, positive, etc at?

Sorry if its a dumb question, but 100% would still be Overwhelmingly Positive, right?

Runs away from previous thread to hunt down something else to be "critical" of. Some people are so transparent lol

Mixed with those numbers make no sense except at 50%, once it hits 51% or 49% then it is mostly positive or mostly negative. Really they should remove the word "mostly", they should pick different words for after mixed and before "very", like 51-69 be something like "Slightly Positive"

You do realise that 50 is neutral, right? Hence why it's mixed. Mostly positive is not bad for 70-79 and VERY positive is accurate for 85+. 95 is indeed overwhelmingly positive. AND the same can be said for the negative side of reviews. I am not sure I see the problem at all...

Sorry if its a dumb question, but 100% would still be Overwhelmingly Positive, right?

i would probably say that 0 or 100% is near impossible because you would literally need 500 people to all agree at least that it is a bad game or good game and no one else who reviews say otherwise but ye that would be interesting to have that happen.
