Metallox on 18 November 2014

87 Metascore, 900K FW

This time I won't be wrong, not like with Mario Kart 8 :S



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Backlash for lack of ambition, backlash for being more of the same, backlash for not being Metroid, and DKCR had the plus point of being the first DKC game in like forever. Tropical Freeze is obviously a FAR better game. Reviewers also take hype into consideration, and it's safe to say DKCTF simply didn't have it - while Smash for Wii U is easily the most hyped Nintendo game this year and only behind Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Destiny overall. And it's safe to say it won't disappoint.

The hype could also count against it though; with hype comes sky-high expectations which raises the risk of points being docked for disappointment.

Yeah, but like he said, Smash bros is not Titanfall, watch dogs or destiny.

It will not disappoint , except maybe one or two Smash melee fags on forums. The 3ds version was nothing, this is the real Smash :cool:


The SSB 3ds is the appetizer an it got an 85, dont know how the same line up+mechanics of that + WiiU exclusives (we all kno its too much to post) and much more reasons willonly get an 87-89? I mean seriously, if the game got an 87-88 i think reviewers are trolling :p

What if, as per Drive Club, Halo Master Chief Collection, or Smash 3DS, online startup problems dig into its scores? Even MK8 caught some flack for perceived shortcomings of  its online, like no chat betweens strangers, no option to invite friends to a lobby, no message notifications, etc. As a very multiplater-oriented game Smash U could find itself on the recieving end of similar complaints.

Highly doubt it since it's mostly local multiplayer oriented. Reviewers want a nice online multiplayer when they buy a Halo game, so they deduct points from it if it doesn't work well - however, they're not expecting a good online from Smash, so in fact they might even give it a few points after being surprised at how decent it is when compared to the 2 previous releases in the franchise.

I'm still pretty sceptical; didn't IGN just give a Pokemon game 7.8 because it had "too much water"? How many people saw that coming? Who would have predicted that the first next gen console Killzone would score a 73? These things can come out  of the blue.

Ugh. Predicting possible review scores are not my thing... Maybe 92-96. I don't think it will be the highest reviewed WiiU game, but it has a chance (until Zelda or X), since... well, what could go wrong with Smash?

I'll trust Nintendo's PR and say Smash > MK8 FW. 1.35 million units FW. 320k Japan, 400k Europe, 590k US, 40k RoW. (See me getting all completely wrong next week )



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

One or another random review will always go the wrong way, but the Metacritic score will be 90.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are still at 84, which is very normal for Pokémon remakes.

But there's still games like Killzone and Tropical Freeze that scored below their predecessors.

Want to make a quick bet?  Since its only a 20/30% chance its in your favor. 90 or higher Metascore and i win, 89 or lower you win? Loser puts' "[Insert Winner's Name] was right, I should of known better than to Underestimate Him" for a week in sig?

Sorry man, it's tempting, but I only take bets when I reckon I have a 90% of better chance of winning. Don't wanna lose my so far perfect winning streak. ;)

what winning streak? you just lost the watch dogs performance bet.

Not yet; there's no Digital Foundry analysis.
