I don't care about review scores as much as reactions. When people talk about repetitive video games or games that failed as sequels you hear about it all the time, even if the review scores aren't that harsh. I don't agree that it's a very small minority. It might be a minority but it's definitely increasing. In general it feels like the standard of gamers are getting higher, because even when they buy shit like Watch Dogs or COD or Ghost Recon, you at least hear a healthy percentage of the community complaining and giving criticism. You hear none of that for Splatoon, which ultimately has to do more with it's platform having very little games more so than the games quality. If someone criticized Splatoon 2 heavily and then gave the game an 8, I wouldn't care. I just want to see more fair criticism, because right now most triple A games are being obliterated(note : a game getting a 70 is way different from a film getting a 70, game scores are usually always absurdly high). Besides, how does "review scores are always high!" play into defending Splatoon at all? It doesn't, it is still mediocre as a sequel. It's a fun game, but a mediocre sequel. Even if we were to use the user review scores as a genuine point ... Fallout 4 got a 5.5 on PC and a 6.6 on PS4, Infinite Warfare got a 3.6, etc. The "free updates" in Splatoon 2 have mostly been weapons, which are so obviously just cut. Like, you'd have to be blind to not think they're cut. The new maps? ... hasn't there just been one that was exclusive to a splatfest? Oh damn such nice fresh content!
" You might as well critisize League of Legends for not releasing every single champion on day one. " Wow this is ... lol xD |
This needs it's own thread. Making it now.
