104/108 is a bit more than just a majority, especially for a score that high.

And the point was that reviewers shouldn't be letting personal quirks define their review scores.

I have no idea where you even got that number from, certainly not from JRPGfan or me, yet you speak as if my initial post was responding to it. And uh yes that would clearly still count as majority...

So as I figured, your point has nothing to do with my post, great...

Your point about majority is semantics, and I added a 'just' to try and get past that, but you obviously ignored it.

What you said about reviewers giving a different score as long they provide valid points, is absolutely true. But if 3 reviewers are that far off from the other 100+, then their reviews would have to contain points so comprehensive, that it made the other 100+ reviewers seem like either inept monkeys, or completely paid-off shills.

None of those 3 reviews (most cetainly not Jim Sterling) were anywhere near that quality.

It's not difficult to see which side was driven by an agenda, or just totally incompetent.

Inb4 Odyssey gets 99



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I need to pick up a Nintendo Switch, my only issue is that $300 is a lot.

I wouldn't discard this entirely XD.

The only problem with that score (if that happens, which I guess is unlikely), is that it'd attract plenty of haters. But, well, let them have fun while we're playing XD.

95



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hype! My prediction'll be a 96, but if it goes above and beyond that, it'll be no surprise to me!

That's my guess too. I think it'd be between 95-97, more than that would be astonishing. This is actually a fantastic day for gaming, with Wolfenstein II, AC:Origins and SMO coming the same day. I guess there are plenty of games for everyone!

I predicted a 94 in the Metascore League so I'll stick to that.

Thanks for this, didn't know there were motion controls in this game. They damn better be optional since they don't do anything a simple button press couldn't.
