Why are people so damn frustrated over reviews? Some of the best games I have played lately are 6/10s. Play it yourself and stop freaking out over other peoples OPINIONS (you know what a review is).

Console Warzs ! All that matters is reviews and sales.

Regardless of the reasoning behind; this seems downright strange. I honestly can't believe it deserves such a mediocre score.

They also gave Link Between Worlds Game of the Year, though, right? I would call that solidly overrated (a very solid game, hits all the checkmarks, but does nothing exceptional).

They're just weird.


What aspect of ALBW wasn't exceptional?

lol, pretty certain DK's going to get over a 70 metacritic.

A general lack of ambition across the board. It felt very by-the-numbers, which still added up to a fun, engaging play, but never really stretched its wings. Closest part was probably at the very end with Hilda's ambition



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Told you the meta for this game wouldn't be higher than 70, after the first reviews came in. I think this game is rushed, hence the bad scores.

If not for the game draught on the WiiU, this game could've afforded to launch later and be better received.


since your soooooo confident why dont you put your money where your mouth is (in this case sig control). We bet, yu win if it gets 70 or lower i win if it gets a 71 or higher

Why should i make a bet about a prediction just because you don't agree with it? Search for another means of ''proving'' how right you are. I'm predicting this and your bias is not going to change my mind.


ok then, i guess your word is meaningless. You sounded like you were confident, so i called it out, but your backing out of your statement so yeah? If i said i bet ps4 wont sell more than 5mil this year, then somebody calls me out on it (this case a bet) and i said wat you just said then it makes me look bad.

Dont state something then totally go back on your word

I'm not so sure about that. First Zelda I've played that prioritized smooth, lag-free gameplay, and the first one in ages to have substantial rewards for exploration. And substantial exploration, by extension. As far as I'm concerned, it was exceptionally well-executed, and that is why I would place it in my top three favorite Zelda games.

Actually i find it more likely that any reviewer giving DKCTF a 9 or higher is just nastolgic towards the old DK games.

I´m not backing out of my statement and you´re welcome to read into that whatever suits your point of view. A specific group on this site don´t like my words, but i´m not gonna make a bet everytime one doesn´t agree with me. Predicting something and being wrong is not gonna make anyone look bad, unless you´ve got a reputation for it, like a couple of users around here whom both, surprise, surprise blindly favor Nintendo.

Back to the topic at hand, we´ve had 3 reviews of this game so far and they were like: 9, 7 and this 5 from Gamespot. If the game does end up with a meta of 74 for example, i´m not gonna think oh man was i wrong. I´m simply stating how wrong it is to expect every Nintendo game to be a 90± on metacritic just because Nintendo = perfection in the eyes of some.

The same reviewer gave BioShock infinite a 4/10 and the game ended up being a Metacritic flop, right guys? Oh wait the score got changed to a 9/10. The same will happen to Tropical Freeze. Mark my words.
