Sad part is that Bloodstained seems to be following the same path -.-'

Wait, are we trusting reviewers again? What changed?

Aren´t reviewers too much worried about comparing it with Megaman?
How the game would stand on its own without those comparisons ?

Anyway, I don´t trust reviewers anymore. I´ll check some gameplay videos when it launches and if it interests me, I´ll buy it. I´m looking foward to this game. Seems fun enough for me.

I'm only exposing facts, a game like this bombing for the critics is something relevant, wether you trust or not on them is your choice, I personally gonna get this game someday but not at full price after reading reviews of some specific critics that I do trust.

We should expect that a game that has troubled development and looks bad ends up being bad.

That was not directed at you. The OP is absolutely fine and it is, like you said, a fact. The way people react to these reviews is another story. We knew this game would bomb cirtically as the media were out to get it. Same with The Order, which had a lot of fans and people who expressed their disagreement with the reviewers sevelar times. It seems to me that people have a tendancy to accept bad reviews for games they don't like and to dimiss other reviews when a game they like is getting low scores.

I haven't played it, so I can't judge, but will most likely buy it, like you, at some point down the line.

How? 



And here we are again metacritic (only western reviewers) trashing a japanese indie game. This review is more politiclay motivated than anything because of the delays and drama. I dont trust these reviews one bit
