You don´t need to feel nostalgia about Donkey to know that is one mind blowing platformer in every sense. And that game had a 6.5 for gamespot...


I stick with the bolded xD

It was actually a 6.0.

Jesus... that´s a crime man.

Nintendo seems to be loosing their charm with Wii U. Gamespot is aware about that. They are critical and unlike ign they can be trusted. When everyone was praising halo master chief collection gamespot dared to give 6. And they gave splattoon 8. And its a great score.

Do you agree with the 8 to The last of US and Uncharted then ?

Yup. Multiplayer was a deal breaker for me. Compared to Uncharted 3 in which I invested 400+ hours.

Ok I was just being curious. I agree that an 8 is a great score, but believe me, Tropical Freeze doesn´t deserve a 6... at all.

Gamespot is neutral (even after firing gerstmann) what I have seen. As for donkey kong tropical freeze I can give any verdict because I havent played it. But like them or not they are trustworthy for the most part. And if you really want to spot any nintendo hater gaming site then it polygon. Not gamespot.

Huh...
Excuse me for one minute, I need to make a phone call...

(Grabs cell phone and makes a call)
Me: Yes, is this Hell? May I talk to Satan please? Yes, I'll hold.
...
...
...
Me: Hello, Satan. It's an avid video gamer. Yes, I'm sure you're well acquainted with our kind, you know, the swatting, stealing amiibos, shooting by standers and taking their PS4's on the first day it came out, etc.
Anyways, may I ask you a quick question?
How's the weather down there in Hell?
Oh, it's cold! Freezing in fact?!?
Are you telling me that hell has frozen over?!?
It has!!
Ok, thank you Satan. I'll tell God you said hello, when my time comes. Ok, thanks again, bye!

Haven't you heard? Polygon hates all video games now, not just Nintendo.



Wow! That is pretty impressive



Pocky Lover Boy! 

In fairness you'd have to have a heart of stone to dislike Splatoon. The score is a little out of character but not massively, perhaps that speaks volumes for the universal appeal of the game rather than anything else.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Its a shocking score. In the System Wars forum I ended up arguing with people constantly about the voice chat and how they were going to score it lower. I predicted a 8 so I won. I also predicted it will sell a million in under a month and I am sure I'll win that one too.
