Is the game playable with just a pro controller?


Yeah It does, you just use the right analog stick to draw the weapons instead of the touch screen. Kinda like Okami.

Kotaku has made a living following this guy on twitter and posting stories about what he says and having everyone talk about it on forums and visit their pages to generate ad revenue.

What a wonderful contribution to our society...

But you can put your opinion into a review. That wouldn't make it more subjective, you would be only submitting your experience as the player, aside from being the reviewer, since there are solid things on which you can work objectively. That's what most reviewers fail to comprehend.


When your friend talks to you about a bad experience playing a game and describes it, is that not need to know info to warn you before your playthrough?

 

No. One of my friends describe Dark Souls as "Gaaaaaaaaaah iiiiiiiiiiit's tooooooooooo haaaaaaaaard it suuuuucks". Yet I purchased it and I think it's an incredible game. And I don't believe the game is THAT hard, it's just a matter of mastering it.


How many of your friends reviewed the game? Dark Souls is nothing to go off of if they didn't play Demon Souls. Dark Souls was a new IP based off of the structurre of Demon Souls, same devs just this this time Sony wasnt co-developing.

The didn't. They made an opinion about it. That's the difference.

Folk saw the Nintendo logo, colorful tiny build of the characters and thought they were in for a cake walk... entered in the game itself found that they'd need skills and brain power to advance in the game and blame the controls for their weakness and impatience. Of course these are the same folk that will be quick to say a sequel plays too much like its predecessors or is too easy when the hype dies down around a franchise and it becomes cool to hate.

Then they didn't fit the criteria of what I was asking. I am only talking about people who played the games before they spoke about them and gave you a spoiler-free review.

Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Batman Arkham Franchise, Assassins Creed all spread via word of mouth.

But isn't that what we're arguing here?

Demo is awesome. Pre ordered straight away after playing it. Hope the full version is like that demo X 100.

The game is apparently 15 hours long so 900 minutes and the demo is about 20 minutes so the full version is the demo X 45.



Signature goes here!

This is what happens when you let British reviewers review the game. But yet again Nintendo wanted to release the game their first. Lol. I know for a fact Mario 3D World is gonna get at least a 9. Or a 9.5.


I think it will score lower than Sunshine.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Reviews are reviews. Word of mouth is a review, just depends on whether you trust the person or site.
