The same critics who give pokemon a 7.8 because of too much water?

I think you've said all that needs to be said.

Samus, horrible graphics for it's time? Are you sure you didn't play the Broken Gamecube ports?

Did you even watch the two videos I sent you? You could indeed argue that Sonic Adventure looks great for a DC game, but for a 7th gen game it just looks horrible to me. 

I don't need to watch any Videos especially as you're trying to compare it to a 7th gen game... I paid £39.99 for Sonic Adventure on the 23rd of December 1999 along with £199.99 for a Dreamcast and £19.99 for a VMU. I know full well what it looked like back then and how it played. There was a reason it was scoring 9/10s from reviewers. Yes it's aged, but then so have 99% of 3D games from that era.

Sonic Adventure 1 isn't on Meta Critic, but the inferior Sonic Adventure 2 is...

What a travesty of a game that was clearly viewed as... even the technically inferior (the audio is awful!) GCN port didn't fare badly http://www.metacritic.com/game/gamecube/sonic-adventure-2-battle despite introducing further bugs not in the original (seems to be par for the course with anything Sega ports from one system to another).
