If it can settle around the 75 point mark that's a decent score.

And now my first post doesn't make much sense.

Ouch, much lower than I expected. Gonna have to read some of those reviews later.

Aha! I claimed 78 in the prediction thread. I might actually be right, for once!

OT: Maybe this will suffocate the conspiracy theories that claim critics inflate their scores for Nintendo games, or slap anything with Nintendo on the box with a 10/10.

Why are you acting like it's the first time a Nintendo game gets a metascore below 80?

He's not acting like anything. Loads of people always claim Nintendo games get overinflated scores just because they're made by Nintendo (which is nonsense).

I don't know, they could still say ARMS is a mediocre 4/10 game that got good reviews because it's a Nintendo game. Never underestimate conspiracy theorists.

 

OT:

So about the same metascore as Splatoon, and many complaints seems to be similar. Solid gameplay mechanics but lacks content at the time of release.

Lower than I expected, but not bad for a new ip.

It's because of the prediction thread for ARMS' metascore where people insisted that Nintendo games always have inflated scores.

But how does ARMS score contradict that?

Isn't it obvious... Nintendo always get free pass in reviews and do not deserve high scores from reviewers.

 

Atleast that's what I take from it, beacuse it seems always to be the case with Nintendo from people on this site.

What Rol said.

If it was the same game but released by another company: 75

Being Nintendo: 85+
I predict most reviewers will be too scared to properly rate it, so it'll get a 90+.


Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
