"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?

Do you expect them to rate the game based on hypothetical content that they don't have? The game is out now, thus naturally will be rated for what it is now. If you don't want to be criticized for a lack of content, you release it with more content (as Nintendo do with the majority of their other games). Reviewers have treated other titles (like Driveclub) in a similar fashion.

It would also probably help to not charge full price in your biggest market, while at the same time acknowledging it's not worth the full price in various other countries.

Again, no, I can´t understand how the "The most original and enjoyable online shooter of the generation" has a 7.  I really doiesn´t make sense, and is the trend of all the low scores, you read it, and then you look at the score is like what?

At the end of the day that is the score of a boring game. 

But hey, is what it is, it was a risk and this is the pay, but is still a good metascore, so Ok.

i dont think a low 80s score will hurt the sales, and the lack of content argument? well in europe its a joke, there is enough content for a 40€ game...

I hope it at least gets to 85+. If it ends up at 81 we're talking Captain Toad. Loved the game but I'm hoping for more.


this would be ridicoulus scince captain toad features alot less content. it have just a 6 hrs campange and thats it. splatoon got it 6 hrs campaign + the online stuff. 

Scince the only big complainment about splatoon is missing content it wont make any sense to be honest. I think many review sites really lowerd the score to much because all the discussion about the low content in the past weeks.


Captain Toad may not have been super long, but it featured some of the best level design this generation. That was its strength, not its length.

So what do you expect them to do?


Answered this weeks ago. They could say if whether or not the content at launch is enough to hold you over until the updates start releasing, this would keep the review relevant.

I'd just like to say that given the issues with the game, I think an 81 is a very fair score and I'm happy with it. Of course it can go up or down a few points but I think 75-85 is a lock at this point.

Either way, still getting the game because it's fun!

In line with my expectations. I do believe that a select few individuals need to chill out about the reviews. It was pretty much a given that the Splatoon will be criticized for the lack of content at launch. It's the reviewers job to review what's in front of them.

Read the review and not the score please!

Is anyone else getting the feeling that this is going to be a very long thread?

BOLD PREDICTION: It will pass the Order's meta thread post count
