Let's not get dubious here, that is the case with every big fandom and not specific to Nintendo.
Oh I'm totally fine. I'm a grown up. I consider stuff like this a fun thing to witness with my morning coffee though.
If you want to critisize a review, critisize the content of the review, not the score. The reviewer explained why he thought it was a 7/10, you didn't explain why you think the review is BS, and instead immediately jump to insults.
Yeah I know but I'm just saying that using that logic something like Wind Waker HD would get a really low score.
ERA had people tracking the TLOUII score weeks after release and calculating how many reviews it would take to fall from 95 and freaking out when it did. I'm not sure this is a Nintendo only thing lol
Sometimes it's really a matter of attention seeking, sorry to say that, but a review should not be 100% subjectives on some matters. I read the review and I don't know if everyone that quoted me did the same.
It's not a Nintendo only thing and it never has been. Anyone thinking so has blinders on.
Great reviews; I love this game, but a bit dissapointed in only 4 hrs for Bowsers Fury. No problem for new players, but I played A LOT of this game on my WiiU so this is an expensive double dip for 4 hours of content.
Guess I will just wait till it goes on sale. HAHAH! HAHAHAHAH!
:(
Still, if you like 3D Mario games, this is a great one IMO.

Getting mad over review scores is dumb, but lol at the 7.
Glad everyone else seems to be enjoying it, looking forward to it!

Is it? Game Informer had to issue an explanation after TTYD. Fans were calling for Gerstmann to be fired in 2006. People tried to fucking DDOS Jim Sterling's site after BOTW and he basically quit doing reviews afterwards.
There's weirdos in every fandom, but Nintendo fans take it to an entirely different level with how fiercely loyal and combative they are. And I consider myself a huge fan of the company.
lmao.
I read the review and watched the video review. I like 3D World more than the reviewer does but the complaints made sense. So yeah...
Why is it BS?
The game is 8 years old. Standards change over time. Reviewers change over time. Maybe the person just didn't dig it.
3D World is a known entity. All the information in the world is available for people to augment their decisions.
Some of yall, I swear.
No-one reviews games to seek attention with different scores, especially a site like IGN. It's almost like different people have different opinions.
I would say that Naughty Dog and Kojima are probably the only two that came close, yes. But still, they didn't DDOS THE WEBSITES OF THE OUTLETS THAT LOWERED THE METASCORES.
I see, thanks for the answers. I'll probably still pick it up because it does look fun. Maybe not at launch but I guess it's not gonna go on sale for a long time anyway so I guess I might as well buy it on launch even though 60 Euro (I guess actually 47 Euro because of the vouchers so quite a bit better) is still a tough pill to swallow. A bit sad about the difficulty but I'll live. The wait for a new Donkey Kong Country continues and I'll probably be waiting for a long time still because of Retro working on Metroid now.
A review is by nature subjective, calling any review you disagree with attention seeking is bananas dude
Has anyone found this image without the Nintendo logo? I'd like to use it as a wallpaper. It's gorgeous. But I can't find a logo-less file anywhere.
Ok, that makes sense. So I guess I'm going to have to be the host when I play with my friends that almost certainly won't play as much as I do lol.
There's going to be reviews looking through the lens of Bowser's Fury being the only NEW thing in a $60 port of a 7 year old game and focusing on that. I think that's a fair view.
Anyone who hasn't played 3D World before should add two to any review below a 9 lol

Jim Sterling is a special case as he got DDOS'd for other reviews before that had nothing to do with Nintendo. It's rather that he has a hatebase that DDOS' him when he posts controversial reviews.
A few other outlets gave BotW a relatively low score and they didn't get DDOS'd.
Just because it wasn't explicitly mentioned doesn't mean that pricing didn't play any factor in the reviewer's impressions. People are typically more lenient with their criticism if something is seen as being a particularly good value. The various expressions of disappointment about how the game was not changed from the original read to me as clear implicit criticism on the value of the game.
How's this?Has anyone found this image without the Nintendo logo? I'd like to use it as a wallpaper. It's gorgeous. But I can't find a logo-less file anywhere.
This is a game where I don't have to pay attention to the reviews but I'd be left disappointed if I went into this believing the 10/10 ones.
I mean, I don't think its a scam. I adore this game on WiiU, but out of 13 million WiiU sold, 5 million people played this game. That means there are like 65 million switch owners who never played this title, and its terrific. The expansion isn't good enough for me to buy it again, but hey I still have my WiiU hooked up. There's a lot of people that this is brand new for.
They also didn't threaten the lives of the actors involved in one of their biggest games in the same way certain PlayStation fans did towards the cast of TLoU2. You're going down a dumb road here by painting the Nintendo community as somehow worse than the others. This hobby is full of toxicity and it's not exclusive to one fandom.
Excellent scores and reviews. Bowsers fury seems to be a very nice piece of new content.
Also when a game has like 92 metacritic, freaking out over a 7/10(for which some of the reviewers complaints have validity) is nuts. 7 is a good score, just leave it lmao

Quote me also with totally free insults to my person, but a review like that is saying that in this moment there are products in the market much better than the product analysed in that review in the 3D platform category. How does that review support in providing an evaluation of a product also considering the market?
The final score in all review means nothing in the end if not an indication of the quality of a product. I highly prefer reviews with no scores for that reason, considering the score as a distraction.
And please note that I definitly like more other Mario installment and I don't like the general "3D world formula". Shall I review it I would be far from the probable Metacritic outcome. But 7 is just a wrong message for that product in a industry in which all scores are very inflated (8/9/10 given so easily).

The only thing stopping me from picking this up is that I already own the Wii U version (digital copy) and I don't feel that it fully warrants the full price...
I've never played 3D World before and I believe my copy is arriving tomorrow. Coincidentally I also have tomorrow and Friday off work so I'm going to chill on my couch and play what looks like one of the happiest games ever. Cannot wait!
No one is really freaking out about the score though. People commented on it because it's an outlier score for a certified classic - then people commented on the people that commented to tell them to chill down ...even though they were calm for the most part lol. That's just the way it goes in some of these reviews threads, where the reaction to reactions often is stronger than the initial reaction. Xzbit would be proud.
Sounds like you're reading something that isn't there. He criticizes s lack of meaningful gameplay changes because he had issues with the game mechanically at its foundation. If the score of 7 was actually based on value (which it isn't, as he explicitly states early on the game + Bowser's Fury is very much packed with content), he would say so.
Honestly review scores as a concept are just kinda poisonous, there is a potentially interesting discussion to be had around how conventional standards change over the years and the nature of reviewing rereleases but some people see a number and their brains power down to the point where all they can think is "7 bad"
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that what certain Sony fans did was better, it was far worse. Threatening the lives of developers and actors is absolutely uncalled for, and fuck the incel assholes that did so. But there really isn't an equivalence here, just fandoms being idiots for different reasons.
Or this quick photoshop:Has anyone found this image without the Nintendo logo? I'd like to use it as a wallpaper. It's gorgeous. But I can't find a logo-less file anywhere.
