Which is another reason why review scores are dumb.
If someone doesn't like something, they're allowed to. You can dislike something good, and like something that's bad. So a person doesn't like something that's popular. So what? That's just one guy.
And by getting rid of review scores, people are then going to have to explain themselves, and if that guy who's saying nothing but bad things can't back it up in a discussion, then it's clear he's a troll and he's never played/watched the thing he's critiquing, so just ignore him.
But hey, if you like review scores, then don't let me stop you. Just my thoughts.
Metascore is a weighted average in that WE ASSIGN MORE IMPORTANCE, OR WEIGHT, TO SOME CRITICS AND PUBLICATIONS THAN OTHERS, BASED ON THEIR QUALITY AND OVERALL STATURE.
That's ripped straight from the site itself. So yes, it is biased.
@roadrunner343 When I say hate, I don't mean the actual definition of the word (Except for maybe Twilight Princess), I just mean I strongly dislike 3D Zelda games.
I'm stupid when it comes to 3D games, so I prefer 2D games, or games with a fixed camera.
I can play 3D games if they're slower paced like Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I can tolerate 3D Mario games because of how little dialogue is in them.
3D games just don't really click with me, and I don't know why on Earth anyone could prefer 3D over 2D. But hey, to each his own.
@ricklongo Yes, I'm sure they're carbon rollers, because I got splated by someone using the same roller as me, and I remember thinking "Oh cool! I can just steam roll people with this one!", but then I start bouncing off everyone, and getting upset. Then later in the match, I get steam rolled again by the same guy!
The Squid Armor has never worked properly for me either.
I wish I had a way to record game footage as proof, but I don't have any means of doing so.
Maybe this new update will finally fix things on my end?
I just want to know why when using the carbon roller I just bounce off people, but when someone runs in to me with the carbon roller, I go down instantly.
Also, does speed up ability affect running speed with the rollers?
@Athalias There's a lot in gaming that's chasing me away, one of which is story in Pokémon. I'll still give this new one a shot, but if it's as story heavy as Sun, or more, then I'm dropping Pokémon... I find it intrusive, and uninteresting, and unnecessary.
If I may ask, why do you like story in Pokémon? I'm not gonna slam you for your opinion, I'm just curious.
When I hear things like "More expressive", it leads me to believe facial expressions, which means more story... Sounds like Pokémon is going to get really story heavy...
Sun/Moon drove me absolutely nuts with all the plot and talking... I think I'll be dropping Pokémon now...
@bolt05 I forgot to mention, that when you get a bonus orb, there's a small counter located to the left outside of Grizzco, that kind of looks like a grocery store checkout counter, and you ask for your bonuses.
@bolt05 You get meal tickets through salmon run, and yes their bonuses can be used in normal and ranked matches.
Though you can only have one power at a time. Say you still have the effect for double experience for 10 more matches, and you want to eat something that gives you double money, you then lose your ten points for double experience, but they're replaced with the 20 points for double money.
It's a good idea to wait until you fully digest your food before eating more.
As excited as I am to (hopefully buy an SNES Mini and) play Star Fox 2, I'm now a bit more confused as to why they'd release an unreleased game, but still refuse to release Mother 3...

Re: Metacritic Ranks Nintendo Second In Its 2017 Game Publisher Rankings
People still acknowledge Metacritic?
Metacritic scores are biased depending on who rates it. We should stop putting so much stock in to it.
In fact, just stop slapping numbers on to media in general.
Re: Capcom Hosting Mega Man 30th Anniversary Livestream That "You Won't Want To Miss"
Probably just some minor collaboration.
Like a Mega Man outfit for Breath of the Wild, or Super Mario Odyssey.

Voting for 3D Mario, because those are bearable.

Is it possible to get crushed at 99.9%?

@Kalmaro Thanks. Got to change a couple of slots then.

@ECMIM Then why not just say better graphics?

Re: Gallery: Check Out Some Tasty Concept Art for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
I'm mixed about this...
I'm sure the game will be great, but I don't think there should've been a third game.
Looks gorgeous though!
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
3D graphics?
Voice acting?
No thanks.

Re: Studio Behind Netflix's Castlevania Opens Up On Story Changes And The Meaning Of Anime
Anime with western influence still gets called anime.
So a cartoon with anime influence should still be called a cartoon.
Not that it matters to me since I like all sorts of styles.

Way to make me sad for a few minutes!
Thanks for the reminder!

Re: Feature: Castlevania Show Producer Adi Shankar On Respecting Fandom And Future Seasons
This guy is cringy...
And if he wants to respect fandoms, then why did he make that violent Power Rangers video?
And no thanks for a darker Metroid.
I don't like this guy...
Re: Feature: Castlevania Season 1 Review: Plenty Of Blood, Bad Language And Bite
@Zingo There are lots of Castlevania games for Nintendo consoles.
This show is an adaptation of one of them.

Re: First Impressions: A New Style of Tactical Gaming in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
