I am not impying anything.

I am saying, for the tenth and final time, the day one review reviews day one content.

Just as is with every other game in existence.

Once the DLC is out, reviewers can then review that DLC and score it either separately or combined. If uou don't understand what I'm saying, check out Metacritic for games like Battlefield, CoD or even single player games like The Evil Within for example. They have review scores for the base game that shipped day one, and then they have reviews for DLCs. 

So, when DLC hits, reviewers can actually review what they get, instead of guessing a month or three in advance. And then when people go out and buy Splatoon for Christmas, they can read reviews of all the content available at that moment.

A very simple concept, and I don't understand why it is so problematic. 

Not at all. I figure I should just say what you want me to say and be done with it. Since there's really no point arguing this further with you.

And I take this comment of yours as confirmation of baiting. Thanks.

Because the hype was too strong and the score is too low for some ppl, so logic is distorted to make excuses sound like reasonable opinions.

OT: a little lower than I expected, but my fears have been confirmed. Okish game overall according to the critic.

I don't think many people are really complaining about the scores...there is just a discussion going about some of the logic behind criticisms (which is kinda the point of a review thread, is it not?)

As for you "fears confirmed" comment, I take it you haven't actually read many (if any) reviews, because the consensus seems to be that the base game is extremely strong, the single player is a ton of fun, the multiplayer is wonderful, but all the content is not yet there and some common features are missing. For the vast majority of websites, an 8/10 is considered "Great", and the text of the reviews back that up.

Oh that Leadified is a slippery fellow. But I'm glad you have claimed this thread. Still expecting low 80s (let's say 81 for your OP), but fingers crossed for some good scores!

Either way it should be interesting, and because this post is a bit sparse I'm going to add a nice picture to break it up:

This my huge problem with gaming journalism in general a site can be called FNintendo and be taken serious and lumped into MetaCritic. Sort of not fair for Nintendo and probably be removed when rating Nintendo games
