Yoshi's Woolly World deserves better scores imo, but I wouldn't say metacritic is hating it.

Destiny, although it's not like a 78 meta is a bad score by any means. I think it deserves a lot better of a score though.

I almost said destiny, but then I don't think I actually love it.  I have put a ton of hours into it and it is very addicting... But at the same time incredibly frustrating because of all the dumb stuff bungie did/does (like no matchmaking in raids/poe/etc)... Destiny is definitely one of those games that straddles the line between love and hate...

I was just watching MetaljesusRocks on youtube. A list of 10 PS3 hidden gems. One of them was Nier. I know in the past I'd talk alot of shit about Nier because it was published by SE... it was mainly trolling you because you were so fun to mess with.Hoever, that video actually made me interested in the game.

Here's the video anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rorfFQ9eM6s

DK TF: best platformer of the generation and people marked it down for not being a metroid game.(May I remind you there has been many more metroid games in the 21 century then DK(3 vs soon to be 6).
Viva Pinata: Beautiful, great gameplay, addicting, this and trouble in paradise shoud have been at least 5 points more.
Driveclub: It is amazing and yet people still hate on it.
Yoshi WW: Ok first off most of the critics didn't like it, but looking at the WW thread on Gaf and some youtuber reviews, it is so much better than a 79 on metacritic(more like 85-86).

Niche JRPGs and japanese games, they all have like 4-5 average scores but I enjoy those games a lot and I think they deserve much better ratings.


Yep, along with musou titles (Dynasty Warriors) I regularly love playing games like get 50-70 range scores.
