Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because the game is actually... good.

Never said it wasn't good. NioH is a great game, and I feel the mid-80's score it boasts is relevant to that. What I'm saying is Arms is most definitely not a game changer. Bloodborne, Breath of the Wild, NieR Automata- those are game changers worthy of 90+ scores. Arms is a nice distraction until the next Mario comes out.

What exactly did any of these games change in the industry then? Obviously it's too soon to say that about Breath of the Wild, but Bloodborne changed nothing and I doubt Nier will be any different. Bayonetta 1 & 2 also changed nothing and they also received stellar reviews.

Nier is really just your typical Platinum game and Bloodborne is your typical From Software game, these are absolutely NOT game changers in any sort of way (that doesn't mean they can't be great of course).

Arms actually is a very unique game and it could be a game changer for the fighting genre as a lot of the more traditional fighters have struggled in the sales department.
