Not far off from my prediction of 78 atm.

Ok, this is definitely disappointing.
"The lack of content at launch" argument is so annoying.

Come on 80...

About expected. Will pick this up around half price, which might be a long time knowing Nintendo's prices :/

While it might be annoying it definitely is a valid complaint.

The VGC review is up http://www.vgchartz.com/article/259210/splatoon-wii-u/
Y'all should give it a read


Talks about price and lack of content, but doesn't even mention the free updates. Mmmmmm!


As it should be. Reviews should only look at what you get out of the box; future content and patches should be disregarded.

If he had time machine he would have certainly reviewed them.


You can't go forward in time, the future hasn't happened.

"The most original and enjoyable online shooter of the generation, but the lack of content at launch means it may be months before it reaches its true potential."

This is the kind of things that the worst scores are telling about the game. Do they realize that the score is gonna be forever bad but the game nop?

I didn't factor them in because they weren't in the review build. This is one reason why I like scoreless reviews; readers can factor in any upcoming additions to the game as part of their own judgment.



My friend is an idiot. He kept playing Tetris because I told him there was an endboss.

You don't need a time machine to know more content is coming.

So what do you expect them to do?
