What makes a map objectively good or bad becomes the question then. You may not like but someone else probably does. Thus the main thing that matters is the overall line-up of maps being varied n diverse, same for weapons n modes.

It certainly isn't the content that makes the gameplay good. So far all the update content utilizes Splatoon's core gameplay, well we don't know what Rain Maker mode is about, but it's definitely safe to say that it will too.

I honestly have no idea about this one, it could go either way. I feel like some rewiewers are really going to love it due to rock solid controls, fun, innovative gameplay and nintendo polish, while others are going to be really hung up on the lack of voice chat and percieved lack of content at launch.

The only thing i have to say about the lack of content is that at least in EU/Japan it's the same price and probably about the same amout of content as Kirby and the rainbow curse. Kirby has 28 levels, Splatoon is rumored to have the same numer in it's single player campaign. Both have unlockable content via three Amiibo, and a multiplayermode of some kind. Kirby scored a 74. If anything is fair in this world at least that much should be a lock for splatoon.

I know it's not the best comparision, seeing that Splatoon is a shooter and Kirby a platformer but it's the only game in recent memory with comparable price/content I could think of. Of course it also doesn't really apply to US were the game is full price for some reason I don't get.

Now personally I hope Splatoon gets into mid 80s at least.

I was talking about your apparent rule of not talking about anything you know nothing about and that isn't something you plan on owning.

I have no opinion on Driveclub other than that it's absolutely gorgeous and I certainly never defended its launch issues, in fact I remember saying that they should have launched the game a couple months later so the weather update would be included and the online would be fixed and that that would have had a positive effect on the reviews.

79 for sure

There's also the fact that Kirby didn't have an online mode, only local (Splatoon has both) and Splatoon allows for multiple control options while Kirby limits you to touch controls. At the very least, Splatoon should match Kirby but I suspect it will be higher than that.

So all you care about is how good the reviews are, not the actual game itself? Good to know.

I'm not the one who brought Driveclub in this thread, I don't go to the Sony Discussion to talk smack about that game.

Weather makes a racing game better now? It seems you don't have your priorities straight. They should've fixed the framerate instead.

76

Reviewers are going to eat this game alive.

Hopefully I'm wrong and the game gets even lower scores

Warned - Leadified

Pessimistic i know but 96!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pls understand

Nah. I dare anyone to tell me 67 is a bad score. Wish I'd score so high in certain subjects at the university :(

A very solid answer.
