Cry me a river, cause not even you believe your own words, this game is not even remotely close to the level of those, no matter how much you want to convince yourself it is, reality is what it is.

And if you think this is gonna flop like those... lol We are gonna have a good laugh. Again.

 "Because I say so!" - Your post in a nutshell. I am curious though as to why you think I don't believe myself, if there's an actual reason beyond you just wishing that were true.

No, because is pretty obvious, there is like 15 times more work put in here than on those games, look the graphics, the high variety of levels, the content, the writting, the puzzles, the music, nothing in this game screams cheap as in those you mentioned, you may like or dislike the direction is going, you may like or dislike some gameplay mechanics, but that doesn't make it a Super Smash/Amiibo Festival level of game.

Also, Do you want to bet about its sales?

Well I've always just grouped them together based on quality and that all of them are recent major disappointments for their respective series, not production value, but I guess you don't have to believe that.

Nah, I don't do bets anymore. Think I'm a coward and can't stand by what I say if you want, I wont care.

Glad it has a good narrative (although generic, bah). I wish it had a deeper battle system like the classic ones or SPM.

Meta dropped down to 79, but still above what I originally predicted..

Let's hope it does well in terms of sales

I'm gonna buy it this sunday.

Can someone update the thread? Game dropped on Metacritic to 79. I expect to get even lower to 78 as the final score as the time goes on, but until then.

Done, I didn't check metacritic before, but honestly, is really one point such a difference that you need to see the thread updated? On the metacritic ranking this is the highest 79 of them all, it needs like 1 positive score more to be 80 again like it has on Opencritic, not that it really matters, 78-79-80 they are practically the same, this is not science, what matters is that the reception has been pretty good.

Honestly, bets should be a required thing on this site. If you spout stupid shit and someone calls you out on it, you should have to take the bet. Of course you won't, because you don't actually believe anything you're saying (just like Goodnightmoon said). You're just trying to get a rise out of people (like Goodnightmoon and myself). This is always how I get banned.
