Too much water?

The game is about squids, that have basically 92% of water on their body composition, turning into kids, that have 70% water on their composition. They also shoot ink, which, again, has water as a main source of composition. There are also maps on oceans and stuff.

Clearly there's too much water in Splatoon, therefore IGN is against it! =o

Maybe this will explain why IGN's orginal score for Splatoon is suspiciously close to 7.8!

Probably! But after receiving solid updates, they raised the score. Suspicious, isn't it?! They clearly like solid stuff, not water. D=

I guess you could say...

..that IGN is full of hot air.

...

Get it? Because air is also not water?

Good one! xD

But IGN would probably despise it because hydrogen and oxygen are elements of water. =o

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

How about just saying it's an opinion, get over it? Everyone's is different, some people enjoy something more or less than someone else. I'm not even sure what the problem is.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Super Mario Maker, Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X are great games and each in a way deserving of GotY.

In my own opinion, I would say Xenoblade X, in the opinion of the greater public, I would say Splatoon, but those are just my takes. I have yet to play Mario Maker and from what I have heard it is great and one of the most creative liberating experiences on a Nintendo platform since Mario Paint so it being game of the year also makes sense.

Tri Force Heroes being Game of the Year for the 3DS however is a bold face lie. It isn't a bad game but nowhere near GotY unless you never paid attention to any thing else on the system but the name. Especially if you like RPG or RPG like games, I mean we got Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Majora's Mask 3D, Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, Stella Glow, even Yokai Watch also along a more indie line digital classics like Box Boy and Steamworld Heist also available to choose from. Tri Force Heroes is good but flawed in a way that makes it feel less like a complete experience and more like a great experiment. It is all opinion but that opinion is one of the few I will say is outright wrong.
