| --OkeyDokey-- said: What do you guys have against reviewers all of a sudden? I can't think of any Metacritic scores for Wii games that I really disagree with besides Corruption being way too low (it's a 95+ game, I reckon) and Boom Blox being way too high. |
It's a backlash against all the negative press the Wii has been getting from review sites and gaming magazines.
When people are really partial to their platform, that will tend to happen.
Pretty pointless to focus on all the negative since a lot of it is warranted, regardless of anyone's fan-like tendencies. Better instead to focus on the quality titles and what has been done right so far (beyond just sales; sales don't justify being able to sell any old garbage on it just because it's popular).
If you really like the platform, make it your personal crusade to see that general consumers buy the quality titles instead of the budget dreck, which is very likely to disappoint.
And accept that the gaming press is unlikely to ever warm to the Wii as a platform because of the change in direction the Nintendo market has made.
