Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Metacritics unbelievable Bias against Nintendos Thirdparty exclsuives in recent days

you compare indie games to regular $60 games.
That's your fault, not Metacritic's.

Same reason why mobile games receive 90s left and right, because no one is expecting them to be comparable to the likes of Witcher 3 or MGS 5.

Lol, don't worry, your theory will be confirmed with Star Fox, the next 2nd party exclusive master piece getting crushed by critcs.

I think you'll be surprised with it, but let's see.

OT, I think that Rodea and Devil's Third have a deserved score. Very bland and mediocre, so a 40+ seems fitting. I'd rate FFV a little more, maybe a 70 or so, but it's not a remarkable difference. I'm more "concerned" about Nintendo's first party games. I don't think bias is the answer, it's just that gaming is changing a lot and the more classic Nintendo games are being given low scores imo. Take for instance these games, I'll put 

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze ---> 83 (For me, it's one of the best 2D platformers ever)

Yoshi's Woolly World ---> 78 (Not a bad score, but I honestly feel this should be 85+)

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse ---> 73 (Again, this game for me is 80+)

New Super Mario Bros. U ---> 84 (I know this won't be popular even with Nintendo fans, but this game is in DK levels. Funny thing, Metacritic score agrees in this with me, but rating the games lower than I think they deserve)

I know I don't have the universal truth, this is all my opinion. But I'm sure that my opinion of Nintendo games has never been so different compared to professional reviewers. I'd add 10 points, maybe, to each of this reviews. I wouldn't say bias, I'd say it's a consequence of modern gaming and more classic experiences are being scored lower than they actually deserve imo.

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.


It was kinda implied...



Devil's third got what it deserved, Rodea looks like a poor PS2 game and FF, I guess it wasn't everybody's cup of tea. I think you are overreacting a bit here.

How is implied when the person saying this is not a Nintendo fan to beggin with? It contradicts your message:

How the f am I supposed to know whether OP is a nintendo fan or a jamaican or a federer fan?!

But a statement such as the title and the ridiculous justification of it IMPLIED it was a nintendo fan who feels they deserve a great review just because it is a nintendo published game, even though MC is aggregated scores, so if metacritic is somehow biased, it might be to do with the fact 20+ reviewers didn't like it, as is their right to do so.

As a matter of fact, we don't.

- MP: Federation Force backslash

I think we are very critic with the company because we expect of them to make quality games. And when they don't deliver, we voice our criticisms. Like every fandom ever (being Nintendo, Sony or MS or whatever)

Rodea the Sky Soldier, 48

Devil's Third, 44

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, 67

meanwhile Indie games get 90s regullary who look worse in every aspect of quality. Just proves it even more that Metacritic is not reliable when it comes at rating japanese games in general (Famitsu, 4gamer and other japanese reviewers not allowed) but its even worse for nintendo games not made by Nintendo it seems.

Tell me what you think? do you agree whith these scores? i feel there is something fishy

Rodea looks like an early PS2 game.

 

Devil's Third.... lol

 

Fatal Frame is just a fap game.

 

 

3 terrible games that deserve their low scores.

That´s false, I didn't fap with that game and I find it to be a solid terror game. Not an amazing one but certainly not a terrible one.

I agree with DT and Rodea, they're awfully bland. But Fatal Frame is not just a fap game. It has its flaws, but it portrays more mature themes like suicide, loneliness, death, live, love, it's full of simbolism... It's not just a fap simulator XDDDD. Tbh, I don't know what is ""fappable"" about it, at least in the Western version. I prefer to watch porn lol
