Castlevania 2. A FOUR?

Wow, I'm shocked to see that. I thought it looked really good.

Are hipster reviewers a thing now???
There always seems to be that one reviewer that has to give a six or a seven...
I think even the Last of Us got a six from some doof...

Yeah, because six or seven are "bad" <_<

At least God of Castlevania 2 got its just deserves.

Hot damn a 4 for Castlevania LOS2.

LOS1 got an 8. Can't believe that decline in quality.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze – 7
WOW this just can't be real! Quite a flop score for DK IMO

Yes. No chance of 90+ meta now!!

Also i didn't expect Castlevania 2 to be any good, but a 4 is terrible :S


Why do say that? Plenty of 90+ games have gotten 7s  or worse. The only other review we have is a 9.25

We'll have to wait and see, don't we?

Even the Last of Us couldn't reach 97 anymore, and that game has 42 10's, after Polygon's 7 and that was the only low score.

No it also got a 6/10 from Qto3.

So did Mario 3d World and that's at a 93

*sigh* not looking good for Castlevania. Might sit this one out.

Curious why DK only got a 7 from EDGE. They usually rate Nintendo games pretty high (9-10).

DK returns got the same score as this one.

They gave Jazzpunk a 9 and DK a 7...I guess now we know what kind of reviewer we're dealing with here(the stupid hipster type)
Oh and GI gave TF a 9.25 i

No it means the reviewer rewards something original and new instead of same old same old. Also there a very large price difference between the two games.

Aren't Edge usually really strict with their scores? Seems a bit low, but I can't really know for sure, not having played the game.

How is DKCTF the same old stuff? They added a lot of new elements, 2 new Kongs (compared to DKCR) and a lot more.

How else do you wanna make a sequel?
