Modern Warfare 2, and 3 got good review scores though. So did World at War, Black Ops, and Black Ops II. Splatoon has a longer single player campaign than the old CoD games. It also has free DLC releasing all the time. CoD charged for mappacks. I just don't get it. If the Modern Warfare franchise can get five sequels before being panned by critics, then it stands to reason that Splatoon can get one sequel without being panned. 

.... which is why, before I even published my comment, I wrote "gamer credibility" and not "reviewer credibility".  It's user score should be much lower. 

Besides, don't you think that's kind of a ... silly argument anyways? Nowadays, gamers as a whole have much bigger standards. People think games like Fallout 4 get critically panned by Fallout fans ... for a lot of the same things no one addressed with 3 or Oblivion or Skyrim. People criticize COD for the stuff that most people didn't care about in MW3. Gamers are starting to get tired of shit, and as a result they have higher standards. I don't see why Splatoon should be given a pass, because it's the first sequel. That just sets a precedence of conformity until later on. Besides, Splatoon's "free DLC", at least so far, is almost 100% likely to be cut content. 

Good job comparing Splatoon to the lowest of lows. Kind of speaks for itself when you have to use COD to defend a game. 

Ok, so you mean user review scores should reflect that? Nobody cares about user review scores, because you either get tens or zeroes from the majority of the gaming community. Only a small percentage, of users that post reviews, are willing to give a game a sane review score. Anybody giving Fallout 4 less than a 7/10 in a user review is a troll or an irrational, immature upset fan. Gamer's don't have higher standards. The ones that are irrationally picky have just gotten louder over the years. New maps aren't cut content. They are new maps. Splatoon is one of those games that is a project in the works. You might as well critisize League of Legends for not releasing every single champion on day one.
