If game relly has too many flaws Splatoon would never be so popular and played game, and basicly one of bigget new IP in recent times. I get that you personaly dont like it but reality is diffrent, but for vast majority of people and players, Splatoon is great and very quality game with just some flaws like any other game. 

Come on, dude. It's not quality that sells games. It's marketability and accessability. People rag on Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed and derivative sports games and blah blah and their sales dwarf what Splatoon sold. Sales aren't proof of quality. They are proof that someone bought a game. People still like Sonic Adventures 1+2, so people liking something doesn't prove quality either. The truth resists simplicity.

I am not making an assessment based on what I like or dislike. I'm being a critic. Liking something and something being good are not related. You can like something and acknowledge that it's bad. You can hate something and acknowledge that it's good. I like the Transformers movies. All three of them. They are terrible movies. I hate The Lord of the Rings. They are phenominal movies. It doesn't matter whether I like Splatoon or not - it's not a great game. It's a good foundation. It doesn't matter to me if every other person in the world likes it. It would just mean that every other person in the world likes Splatoon inspite of it being way too crippled to be good. Maybe a sequel will help it come into its own.

I also absolutely refute the notion that Splatoon has flaws "like any other game" as if its flaws are comparable to literally any other game in its genre. Splatoon is a tragedy of errors with a good idea buried underneth. Many people are willing to ignore those errors, however plentiful and however large, to glimpse that idea. I most definitely am not.

Like I wrote, if Splatoon really has big flaws like you describe, despite grate marketing and accessibility it wouldn't be nearly so popular and so much played game. Splatoon has around 33% attach rate on Wii U, what game exactly dwarf that attach rate and popularity on single platform!?

You can be crtical but you are not realistic at all, Splatoon is relly great game despite you dont think like that. Make here thread about best Wii U games, you will see that Splatoon will be easy be in top 5 probably in top 3 best Wii U games.

Again if those flaws are so big people wouldn't think that Splatoon is great, very popular and one most played game on Wii U.

Reality is that you dont like game, but game is relly great.
