God damn the salt in this thread is sad. Seriously.

Man, it pains me to write that, it does and I wish it wasn't true...but man, it's just kinda so obvious to me. I still have this feeling that 90 won't stick around for too long.

Reviews are very strange. For one thing, Shadow of the Colossus on the PS4 managed the same score as it did on the PS2 with ONLY the graphics being updated and more items to unlock. But really, nothing drastic that it changes the game for the better.

FFXHD improves on the original, but the score lowers.

I don't know, it's like journalists just pick and choose favourites in which they want the score to be high or low...it's just so confusing I really can't bother with these scores anymore. They become redundant.

Why is everyone talking about the performance like it's bad? It's 30fps, just like base PS4. The bias here is strong, it seems. Sad.

This post is just perfect, and accurate. I have not seen many posts so angry and excuse making. Facts are, square put an actual effort in a great game.

The graphical difference is minimal. So adding a nice amount of story and features, a 16 bit mode... new soundtrack... it comes off as so bitter. No matter how many more do or do not review this version, the game is a great game with more features than the original.

I look forward to it, and am very happy that square enix didn't pull a capcom and release an old ass game for way too much. Squeenix did a hell of a job here.

I have seen many, many comments during the switches life, sayin we as Nintendo/switch fans need to stop "port begging"... well, then you who are mad about this version need to stop being jealous over some added features in a game that was on the ps4. 

Don't know why people are complaining about the score. Switch owners got the definitive version of the game and things like better soundtrack, more content and speedier battles (thank god!) are way more important than resolution. Why the complaints? If this version released on PS4 I'd be perfectly fine with it scoring higher than the original release and I'd be happy for PS4 owners that they can play the best version of the game.

Games are becoming more like books and other mediums right now, as gaming isn't new anymore. People still look for cool new stuff but they also look for the classics. Dragon Quest XI is pretty much the definitive version of a traditional JRPG and bound to become a classic. Just like Resident Evil 1 is still the de-facto "horror game set in a creepy mansion" title to go to. So it's great when classics and future classics get an overhaul. The graphics are not so important, as they are going to age anyways. But quality of life improvements are very appreciated and deserve higher scores.

Shame JRPGS dont interests me. Iv never actually played a dragon quest game.

A Switch/Wii U multiplatform game launches with some cut content or lacks DLC and Nintendo fans protest = They are a bunch of whiners, their system is shit

A Switch multiplatform game launches with exclusive content and ends up being the best version = Playstation fans become the biggest whiners of them all

This is so precious xD

I believe that our critical sense evolve with time, same thing for the context around the publishing of the original review. The initial impact a game, a movie or anything of the genre, has on the reviewer or the user is unique. Each new play through can add or remove from the point of view we had on the game.

I always found the one year later revisits reviews interesting, specially once the dust had the time to settle on the hype or the negativity. I’ve seen youtubers being salty on the Last Jedi after it’s theatre release, being less critical today after multiple viewings. There’s games like SotC able to maintain their status which is I believe a statement on how well the original was made. And I’m also pretty sure that RDR2 could get lower scores now since the Wonder of it’s technical performances won’t be as new today than what it was a year ago. 

So I think the whole debate about inconsistency in the reviews with time as more to do with the ability of the product to stand the test of time. DQ seems to get better reviews for now on Switch and it’s clearly because the game is still as good as it was one year or two year ago and the improvements they made showed that the developers cared about their product.

People worry too much about a few points. Who gives a flying ****?

...you people still act like this in 2019?
