*shrugs* My kids loved it, in particular they loved the EXP share, given they don't have interest in grinding. Dynamax was a huge hit for them as well. As stated previously the game isn't aimed for hardcore gamers, it is aimed at kids. Put yourself in their shoes and evaluate the game. My point on Sesame Street stands. I use Pokemon S/S as an example when people discuss Last 2, because both are in the same boat. A large group of 'hardcore' gamers decided the game was trash before it was even released, many never played it, and many never played it with an open mind. Both are subject to overly harsh criticism, neither are remotely close to being a 1/10. A 1/10 is for something that is completely broken and utterly unplayable. Neither S/S or Last 2 fit this description. Fact is Pokemon S/S stands at a 80/100 via Metacritic, with the lowest critic score being a 6/10. Meanwhile the user average is a 4.6/10... like I said, similar to the blind hate Last 2 is getting. |
I get your point, just need to point metacritic game scores for blockbusters are something in between 50 and 100
Almost no critic will ever dare to give anything lower for a AAA game, critics know they can't give anything lower and still getting free game codes before release. No reviews up to release = No clicks nor easy views
Compare the scores critics gives to movies, it's not uncommon see 30, even ~20 scores. Artemis Fowl is a Disney movie and got a 31 score, I doubt anyone would ever dare to give such a low score for a Nintendo or Sony game no matter how garbage it is
For me a 60 score game is already as bad a 40 for a movie
With that in mind, this 80 Pokemon got kinda feels a mid-60 score for me
