I don't think anyone needs to be 'blamed' for the opinion of one man, no matter who he is lol. Nintendo made an 89 metacritic game, André had criticism on it. By Friday millions will have their own opinions.

Yah, comes off as Mario maker 1 snobs. They wanted 2 angry suns in one stage, How does that even work. I do miss costumes( they look cool) even thought I didn't really care for them. I don't like it when they take stuff out.
They might add them later, the Mario Maker team seems to be constantly updating the game, there will be more features added in the future, probably a new style DLC as well.
GOOD! I honestly dislike the sound effects. They're annoying IMO.
Metacritic gave Splatoon 2 an 83. To me that game is a 9.5. The most addictive and fun game i played on switch.Most time I put into a game ever at 200 hours. Soon to be toppled by Mario maker 2
Yup, they said at E3, the reason they didn't include multiplayer with friends is because they ran out of time. I would of been more than happy with single player.
That score will also never represent the final game after all the updates and DLC (if any).
Looks like a great game, but so many exclusions and missteps, namely with the multiplayer. I just don't understand Nintendo sometimes.
A month ago, I worried that the game wouldn't have multiplayer at all - and if so, only two player locally offline.
So, you win some and you lose some. Atleast on SMM1 they did regular updates and patches. I would definitely expect the same here.

ANYWAY, I'm so excited for this. I feel like I've been staring at the icon for years. Got my cheap ass Amazon stylus, I'm fucking REEEADY.
I played Mario maker 1, and I don't remember any of that stuff, that being said they should of included it. I do remember the costumes, hopefully they bring those back.
IGN: "AND since it's the second version of an already groundbreaking tool it comes as no surprise the section dedicated to crafting your own fun, goofy, or absurdly punishing Super Mario levels in the style of SMB, SMW, or even SM3DW is superb."

that GX review was rough, but I get where Andre was coming from. But when I think about where my enjoyment comes from in MM, it wasn't from amiibo, crazy intro screens, or multiplayer.
As long as players can create puzzle levels, precision platformers, adventure levels....I'm good. The inability to place pipes behind pipes may lead to issues tho

If only we had Miiverse to comment on the nice water textures.The people scream in unison: water tiles for Mario Maker 2 DLC!
Agreed tenfold.
I'm happy to continue blind purchasing Nintendo games for this reason.
The kotaku, gi, Eurogamer reviews read like reviews .. the 'YouTube' ones read like fan service nit picks
hey! you're that guy that liked a video game!!!
everybody get him!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos for criticizing a Nintendo game GameXplain. Seriously, not many are doing this, specially channels with such a big audience.
Makes me actually want to watch more GameXplain again.
The critique is fair and understandable.

Sounds like GameXplain's review is the first one I'll be referring to when I get home, going by some comments here and I ain't surprised by those who are taking issue with GX's comments lol. We'll see.
And yes, I'm buying the game on Friday as soon as I'm free from my job interview, but some of you people seem like you phisically hurt when a Nintendo game is criticized.

Yeah I agree, I wish there were more reviews that said "hey is this a fun Mario game or not"? It's confusing when a game get destroyed in the commentary but somehow it's "we are giving this game an 85/100!"
Seems like game reviews these days never match the score they give. That's why I really like ACGs review on Youtube, he is very straight to the point on each topic.
People would probably take GameXplain's review more seriously if it stuck to complaints like game control and cut features like amiibo costumes, but the review runs with a ton of weird superficial complaints like "title screen doesn't have a special animation every day", "not a random chance for a ten second death sound effect", "you can't tap the M letter to get a Wario sound" that end up taking up more space. Hearing about the completely subjective "charm" level being lowered sounds like a guy in a record store talking about how R.E.M "sold out" or something. Mario Maker 1 was made by quirky toy makers! But Mario Maker 2 was made by an efficient and clean corporation...
Read through their comments section and could not find any like the one "F*** you" they screenshotted. There are some people disagreeing with some complaints or being a little snarky but that's about it.
Their level of defensiveness of the review's tepid reception is honestly more sad than the few people whining about the tepid review.

These were all relegated to a sub-section at the very end of the review as part of a larger point about the presentation. How is that an issue?
Did you stop to think about why that might be, or are you proposing I made it up?
I'm human too, as it turns out and the vitriol gets grating. But I'm guessing you'll brush it brush as another defensive reaction, huh?

Really don't get all the hate on his review. All the criticisms were fair, especially the ones concerning multiplayer.
Don't ya know? Nintendo games get passes alla time. It's about darn time we put an end to the injustice!
I just have the feeling "Nintendo" games mostly get a pass for certain flaws, that's all.
I mean, you can see on this thread that Nintendo games are treated differently. How dare him, GameXplain, to actually criticize something, out with the torches and pitchforks!
I just respect what they did here.
Ah OK. There's absolutely nothing to be gained arguing for/against your unsubstantiated gut feeling(s) so I guess that's that.
I disagree with that FWIW.
Yeah, there is a place for these kind of reviews but you wanna be quite invested in the series and know the reviewer as well otherwise they can come of more negative than they probably are meant to be. If this is your first review or experience with the series (many skipped the WiiU or didnt play the 3DS game) it can sound quite harsh overall.
Yeah - this only happens with Nintendo game and not every other big release.
The irony of people not being happy with a review = torches and pitchforks lol.
It works both ways.
Ohno Gamexplain noted some Easter Eggs are missing, that means I can strawman their entire review and say they didn't like it* because of that while ignoring their other criticisms, such as a more cramped workspace than the first game, worse feeling editing controls, multiplayer being poorly implemented (having to individually download levels to play them on local multiplayer, can't choose which levels to play for online, can't play with friends), lack of cohesiveness with the 3D World theme and the others, lack of basic features in the 3D world theme like enemy stacking, lack of amiibo costumes/pipe stacking, etc.
*They actually like it though.
