80 seems realistic.

I feel like even if it is a killer game at what it IS, that maybe a certain percentage of gamers or reviewers may just not dig it or get it. It's kind of a specific game. A fighter with a very particular thing (switching out arms). 

We can expect it to be polished and the party modes to be fun. I just feel like it's pretty goofy which might make some people judge it unfairly.

of course it could be a shit game. But based on what we've seen I'm expecting a very well made game that some people get and some don't, and for that reason maybe like an 80.

you are aware that in pretty much every Switch game motion controls are optional and likely not the preferred control scheme right?

although obviously something like 'arms' where you potentially swing your arms to for the attack motion makes a lot more sense than using gyro controls for Starfox. The difference should be obvious to you.

Yes they are very harsh but they will praise if they think something is worthy of it. Ie, BOTW. They really got the ball rolling with that 1.

I'm not really sure, but I guessed 84 in the Metacritic thread so I'll go with that

I'll go with 81. It'll be praised, but some reviewers will hate it due to motion controls, even tho you can use traditional controls.

Then first, you're wrong. I tried to like Arms, but I just can't get into it because I need some level of depth to my games.

And Splatoon earned what it got and filled a necessary role in Nintendo's library.

And no, there are plenty of games that earned 90+ from Nintendo. But Arms isn't one of those titles. Arms is the star attracted of a Ubisoft mini-game collection; good, but in no way deserving of a 90+MC.

Uh ARMS does have depth. Now I'm even more doubtful that you truely looked at it!

I don't have a problem with you having that opinion of ARMS, but you can atleast acknowledge that if ARMS scores 90+ it's because the reviewers feel it deserves it, not because they're scared for some reason.

No, no it doesn't. And I honestly don't know why I'm even discussing it with you at this point; clearly someone with an Arms Avatar is just about as likely to admit its deserved sub-90 score than a republican is to admit a wall is a stupid idea.

Arms is a boring game with a very Nintendo premise that, if made by anyone else, would get ignored. If it gets a 90, it got it from a Nintendo bump- not through its own value.
