So... it sucks? Why Metacritic? Why do you hold back my purchases?


They are not saying it sucks just that it is basically a Dynasty Warriors game with Zelda skin. So if you like or are a fan of the Dynasty Warriors type of games you will indeed like this game. I for one plan on picking this up!......whenever I get a Wii U that is lol sigh....in time.....in time

The rest of reviewers are honest. Ignore Polygon review.


I usually do. Sometimes their reviews are junk plain JANK.

 

That said...eeeeeesh. Not very good scores eh?


Actually, it is not that bad. A lot of 8's, two 9's and four 7's.

That is not particularly good, since having Zelda in the name has surely given it a little more praise than if it were to do without!


What a load of crap.

Everyone knows it's Dynasty Warriors with a Zelda skin, for the most part. Having Zelda in the title doesn't change anything.

We wouldn't even notice this game, let alone talk about it if Zelda wasn't in the title. And easy on the defensiveness, no need for insults.

 Are you suggesting that Musou games aren't worth talking about?

I think it is about what we thought it would be. Seems people either love these types of games or they do not, or they know what to expect.

Lots of 8's in there as well!

I need more 8's for it to be buyable!

they are using a system that everybdy understands. its not the best, but they dont have to explain it.

the score goes a lot up if u use more sophisticated methods.

2 realy bad scores hurt the average a lot.  its a common problem with simple methods and Outliers

 

the best way for u is throw away the highest and lowest 10% and read some reviews(and  dont read the IGN one, because IGN is shit).

if they make the same points or not. u will get a good overview for a informed decission

Look who are the special snowflakes that drag down yet another score.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

The coop performance part is pretty disappointing imo. I wished Nintendo would have overseen this a bit more.

Also pretty sad tha the creators of Dynastie Warriors didnt try their best to make the series at home on Nintendo consoles. I would have delayed it even more. Wasted effort imo. I mean this could have been my gateway to the DW series. But when a DW game taking place in (as ign's otero said) "world I love" wont impress me. Why would I care about a world I have no connection with?

Well whatever I ordered it a long time ago for 36€. 36€ for a new release is nothing. Lets see how it actually is. Review scores are arbitrary numers anyway they are just opinions and sometimes they are manipulated opinions ($$$$)

The Escapist score doesn't surprise me.

Overall pretty much as expected, scores like a DW game with a little Zelda bonus.

As expected, the 4//10 reviews are maybe too harsh.


I see no 4/10 reviews

Some reviewers scored it by the standards of traditional Zelda games, lol.
