Ouch!

Creater needs to retire.

Metacritic of 29 with 7 scores at the moment

Yeah. Pretty much expected. A lot of people started to get some hope as the game grew on them. I was not one of those people. From my perspective this has always been nothing but a terrible project that was doomed to fail. I sure did hope I was wrong, though.

Says 30 with 4 for me...but, there we are. Going back to my prediction earlier today:

"Looking like a 30 or so on Metacritic :/ "

Seems like that is going to be the case.

Amazon Japan's user reviews are once again proven to be worthless XD

Here is a borderline positive review in the sake of balance:

TheSixthAxis: 5/10

Devil’s Third’s singleplayer campaign is dumb, misogynistic, shoddy and borderline broken at times, but its multiplayer may well be its saving grace. While it remains lo-fi and decidedly rough around the edges, there’s some fun to be had and an experience that could see it gain something of a cult following on Wii U.

Well, it doesn't matter to me. You Are Empty has a 31 metascore and I liked that one. I'm pretty sure I'll like Devil's Third.

Itagaki going from Ninja Gaiden to Devil's Third is somehow like Romero going from Quake to Daikatana. And I have a feeling that Itagaki's future career will be similar to Romero's...

I'm hoping for a 33% metascore, it would be fitting

Shame that Itagaki's first project after leaving Tecmo turned out so poorly. Rather curious on bad it actually is now, will have to check it out when it's cheap.
