Meta user reviews are at a 3.7 this morning. Crazy to me how childish people are. Which is fine in itself. What is the real shame is user reviews have lost all meaning at this point. I am not specifically talking about Pokemon, but user reviews in general. 

I bet you didn't actually read the reviews and only called them childish because you don't agree with the score, now that would be truly childish! I don't agree with the critic score but since I can respect the views of others even if they differ from my own you won't see me insulting them.

I did expect the inevitable review bomb to be filled with single sentence judgments, developer insults, and such unintelligible hatred. While most reviews are but a paragraph long which just isn't enough to fully cover a game, there's plenty based around critical thought and facts at least. Actually learned something in fact, the game can apparently delete all data from your SD card.

Now do I agree with the scores being that low? Nah, but eh they're just as free to have their scores as the critics and we're free to take it or leave it.

No, I don't agree with reviewing a 30+ hour game that just released.  And that is true for low scores and high scores.  And it is true with most all games, not just Pokemon.  The practice of intentionally trying to drive a score because reasons is silly.  Quick question, is english your first language?

Edit

And I question if game saves are really being deleted.  It feels like that is just childish nonsense to scare people away from buying a game.  Reviewing a game and trying to discourage (or encourage) people's decisions are two drastically different things.  

And again this isn't just about Pokemon, but gaming in general.   Heck Horizon Zero Dawn has many 0 ratings on Meta.  I get everybody has different tastes, but giving Horizon a 0 is flat out nutso.  

"we're free to take it or leave it."

Exactly my point.  Thanks for agreeing.  User reviews are toxic for certain games, so I'll be leaving it.
