I hope you feel the same way the next time a non-nintendo game gets a low metacritic score. The way you guys glazed Zelda for getting a 97 metacritic score is quite hypocritical, when you then declare that an 80 metacritic score is also fine.

He probably struggles to understand that nintendo can pump out enough variety that people don't need to glaze everything released. They have multiple series in different genres and styles coming out frequently instead of a single big release being all they'll see for at least 6 months.
It's unusual for someone to like every single nintendo title because of that variety.

Dude thats unironically what I want. Splatoon is finally big enough and has enough cred to warrant spin offs and games that have a different focus. Plus like most anons on here suspect its a good testing ground to push the series mechanically without having players automatically fucking bitch about muh meta and carry what people like about this game back to a mainline title

Damn, so without the Nintendo bonus it's a 70? Nintendo just hasn't been on the ball lately. A lot of 6/10 and 7/10 games recently. The Star Fox remake was shit.

Like 90% of gamers who based their opinions off reviews, like most sane/normal people who buy products. I had a friend one time who didn't read reviews on anything he bought, and I called him a retard. He got mad, and we never spoke again.

Go waste your money and drown in buyer's regret because you bought that thing that the majority told you was shit and then it turned out to be shit, but you didn't want to believe anyone. It's people like you that usually get scammed the easiest and lose the most money. That's why my ex-friend now is sitting on 100+ physical Switch games that he's barely played and keeps buying more.

If they had ever even played any of the other games at all. They could've heard that the series is known for not requiring you to be "good" at shooting and think that applies to the singleplayer experiences as well.

>>743760784
How do you know that he barely plays them? You don't talk anymore.

>>743742558

Higher than I would give it. This is a solid 6/10 at best, and only if you live and breathe salmon run. How bored do you have to be, to buy a single player version of a multiplayer game? It would be like if Mario Kart only had 1v1 couch vs and Grand Prix vs CPUs. Missing the whole point and thirty years of tech advancement.

>>743762210
it's primarily single player althoughiebeit. discount salmon run is the equivalent of 2p Mario Kart.

This is $60 for what is otherwise a side mode in a full Splatoon game. Keep gobbling up the slop and getting less for it.

Splatoon is a game where it's incredibly evident if someone is pretending to have played it or is just bad with basic controls.

>>743762329
There is in japan. It's just the console with raiders pre-installed and no extras though.

>>743762103
It’s for people who like Splatoon but don’t care for PvP, but prefer single player and/or co-op PvE.
>But you can do non PvP stuff in Splatoon 1-3.
Not as much of, compared to a full on dedicated game of it, which be a better value for that specific audience.

it seems to have a lot of content for a decent price and splatoon's gameplay is absolute top notch, then again the first game in the series on wii u got a 81 score as well so I guess this just means I'm going to stick to my opinion game journalists should be mass murdered (in pokemon pokopia (in real life))
