Any half decent review would have picked up on this, quite frankly unacceptably shitty, feature (for fucks sake Nintendo your game can support more than 2 modes at once) and called it out and possibly deducted points for it. |
That´s BS
Reviews only counted 5 maps and 2 online modes on their scores, some reviews (like IGN) don´t even counted Ranked Battles (Splat Zones) because it wasn´t avalible on day one, now the game has more maps, a bunch of weapons more and a new online mode that they didn´t counted, the game is better now than then and clearly underrated on Meta. Don´t try to act like the game is less good now because of this shitty decision because thats just stupid, people had been playing hours and hours for weeks and having a ton of fun with the game with only those 2 modes and they will continue, because the game is fucking good as it is.
After the big update on August you will be able to do private lobbies and customizable matches where you will be able to choose the mode that you want, whenever you want, and by that time there will be 4 modes.

deducting points for something that wasnt there is stupid.
games should be rated or scored by reveiwers base on what was released and reviewed by them not base on some future shyet. if the game is shyet day one then it should be reviewed as shyet. if the game is fun and great day one, then it should be reflected on the review. if the game is fun but missing some stuff which the developer promised will come sometime in the future, then the game should be reviewed as is and whats current on it and no points should be deducted coz the added content aint there yet.
as for splatoon being underated, well, it isnt the reviewers fault. blame that on nintendo for rushing it out and delivering a halfbaked, but according to most, fun game. much like how i believe that drive club deservies its crappy review even though it is a billion times better now than release.
