Forums - Nintendo - Say Good-Bye to Brawl's 100% score on Metacritic, and Game Rankings!

Brawl simply is not going to be revolutionary enough to end with scores on part with Ocarina of Time or Super Mario Galaxy. It's a prettier version of Melee, with more characters, more control options, and online play. If it can end with a score above 93% that would be fantastic for the kind of game it is. Obssession over scores isn't healthy anyway. This will be a great game, end of story.

Game Journalism is super screwed up in the first place. So it doesn't really matter to me.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

OoT will never be beaten. Muwahahahaha!

I think you left a few hundred things out, the most important of which are SSE, Finishing Moves, Stage Builder, and enhanced gameplay.

 

It's like saying MGS 4 doesn't deserve top scores because it's a prettier version of MGS 2 with new characters, more story, and online play. 

 

It's a sequel with a similar control scheme, but its got such a different feel and so much added in, that its an entirely different and better experience. It's not the best game ever made, but if this Smash Brothers wasn't derivitive, and it was the first game in the Smash Brothers series ever to be created, then yes, it would probably be considered the best game of all time, and be ranked higher than Ocarina(blasphemy!). 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I still think the game will be fun even without a perfect 100% score.  Isn't that what matters anyway?

What are you smoking? This is an internet forum. Either the game gets 100% or the reviewers are biased against Nintendo and want the game to failed (I'm sorry, I'm feeling a little anti-Nintendo fanboy today).

ngamer also gave it 93%.. i'm not sure who was expecting this to get as high a score as galaxy, when people still doubted galaxy's current status after like 10 100%s in a row

Also? What do you mean, "also?" It "is" the one that gave it 93%. Currently, it is still ranked, higher then Galaxy, and even Ocarina, on Game rankings, so it might keep the crown. It's far too early to tell, since its score is averaged from only three reviews on Game Rankings, and four, on Metacritic. It's a shame that it's no longer #1 on Metacritic, though. Ocarina has a score of 99 on Metacritic, Brawl has 98, and Galaxy has 97.


 Who is alex00 and why shouldn't I ban him for a duplicate account?  Your alex59 account is still up and running...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Wow that computerandvideogames review has a bunch of typos...and it CLEARLY doesn't understand Smash well enough.

"Signature moves aside, it's hard to see where Dedede differs from Bowser, and if Link, Ike and Pit weren't programmed by the same guy, we'll eat our sword flurry."

That's cause you're dumb.

@Ben

Sigh. Complaining about typos and then doing one yourself. It is because, or 'cause. At least I think so. It's your native language, so really, it is stupid of me to correct you. Correcting a mod is also a bad idea.

Oh, and dumb is really a word that means deaf, which means you accuse him of being handicapped, and if he is, isn't it really bad of you to mock him for it?

Damn! I did it again, corrected a person about his native language, and the person is still a mod.

And there I cursed! Holy Cow that was stupid!

Hmm, is that blasphemy? Saying holw cow is really making something else holy, and god doesn't like that does he? Hmm, I wrote his name without capitalizing it, and as God is almighty, and therefore sees everything, I'm pretty doomed.

And now I went off-topic. That means I'm making the mods upset. And after my experience, they're even worse than the person whose name I didn't capitalize.

Hmm, that is blasphemy again. Now I'm both getting banned and going to hell! This has to be the worst 5 minutes of my life.

There is key difference between Ben and that article writer:


That article writer is writing an article for a website aiming to be a credible source in gaming information.

Ben is writing a post on a random video game forum.


Do you see the difference?
