Lol do nintendo fans feel like they deserve a great review just because it is a nintendo game. Ridiculous.

Who the hell has said that? the op is not even a Nintendo fan to beggin with.

You gotta love how people take this kind of threats to fire shots to a comunity.

What's broken about Devil's Third isn't so much the technical aspect (although there are quite some bugs), it's the gameplay itself. It just isn't fun. Fallout 4 gameplay is superb and I only encountered 2 glitches so far. Never played AC: Unity, because Assassin's Creed sucks ass. =P

Bias is everywhere, but it's silly to assume that Nintendo gets more of it than others. 

It is hella fun, if you can handle it. I beat the game twice and replay many level's in Score Attack mode. "FPS + TPS + melee combat" formula works perfect in this case for me.

 

By the way, characters models in Devil's Third and Project Zero just gorgeous for current gen.

I don't care about graphics. But I believe you that you enjoy the game. I also enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever very much, which got horrible reviews. Games are always subjective and it seems like a lot of people agree with me that Devil's Third is a bad game. There might be a niche audience who enjoys it a lot, but that's no reason for the review scores to be any higher, neither should the scores for Duke Nukem Forever be any higher. The reviewers are stating what they personally think about a game, there is no objectivity in here nor is it a reason to call bias on them.

Fatal Frame could have some distaste for it, but Devils Third and Rodea have their issues.

So can you tell me how exactly it is bad? You say nothing but "gameplay isn't fun". It isn't fun compare to what? Cod? Titanfall? Ninja Gaiden? Setting, locations, music, bossfights - was it all not memorable?

I can't say this game is for niche audience. Almost everyone in JP and EU miiverse love it.

That is my main issue, yes. I don't need to compare it to any other game to make such a statement. The game doesn't get better just because other games are also bad or something. The game stands for itself and I didn't enjoy it. It feels so generic, I don't feel any passion in it and I don't feel rewarded for what I do. I have the feeling that no aspect of the game is really well thought through and that's why it feels broken to me. On top of that, the story is dull and boring. A good game really sucks me in and makes me want to continue playing for hours and hours. That's not the case with Devil's Third. After about an hour I already have the feeling that I've seen everything and I just want to stop playing. I can't express those feelings in numbers for you, I just don't enjoy it. 

The miiverse itself is a niche and therefore no indicator of the public reception of a game.

Did you finished it? Just curious.

Miiverse is very good indicator for this game, because there are 90 of 100 peoples who actually bought Devil's Third.
