On one hand, yeah, it's up there. But on the other, a 77 metacritic isn't bad. It's also pretty in-line with recent Pokemon releases, since Sw/Sh got an 80 and New Pokemon Snap got a 79. Hell, the Crown Tundra seems to be really well-liked and seen as an improvement on Sw/Sh and it only got a 75
Guess the people buying didnt read the reviews lol. Not that 77 is the worst thing ever tho
with games like Pokemon, I think word of mouth will kill it before reviews ever do
You know, there’s one Lupin trivia fact that makes me sad, and that’s that Don Adams(Get Smart tv show) almost was the original dub voice for him back in 70/80’s but the deal to bring it over fell through. Would have been iconic. Sure we got Inspector Gadget made/created instead since the deal fell through, but what could have been.

ya gotta be careful in this line a work. ya learn too much, ya cross the wrong horsepeople, it’s concrete horseshoes for seabiscuit. ya gotta live like you’re two clops away from the big horse incinerator in the sky. it’s no stable life, no quiet neighborhoods, no white picket oxers. the line between hard-boiled and hot glue grows thinner by the hoofbeat.
Mario Party seems like a better pick. Superstars on Opencritic is the only game in the series that has an 8, lol. Go on Metacritic for the older games, and there's a bunch of 6s and 7s, with a few 5s.
Some people really like to overhype themselves even though they should know better. Like, we've known that the Battle Frontier was very likely not in the game months ahead of time due to the Sinnoh map being available, and yet some people are genuinely outraged when it turns out it isn't there. It's fine to be disappointed in its exclusion and not buy the game, but actually getting angry about it is a "you played yourself" moment.
Saaaaaaaaaaaame. Crash is my favorite non-Nintendo game franchise, and it's a bummer that buying Crash games supports that scum sucker Bobby Kotick.I hate how activision owns Crash and Spyro
God, people are really thirsty for GTA despite all of the massive problems, lol.This does like pretty Funny. Wish it was reversed tho with 7 being at 1 so it’ll slightly more funny.
Anyways. Most importantly, nice selection of games for Nintendo at the top (on paper, not talking quality). Dread is also at 13 meaning it’s had a solid month and a half in the eshop.
The Arzest logo really ties it all together.
Right?! They had me listen to Give Great Thanks first... god damn
Compile Heart launches ‘Neptunia Sisters’ new title teaser website [Update]
Compile Heart has released a teaser trailer and opened a teaser website for an unannounced new Neptunia series title.
Alright, can't wait for the 2500th spin-off that won't come to Switch instead of an actual mainline game. Also, I doubt many people would enjoy this, but Reverse (Or the remake/remaster of the 1st game) is surprisingly fun. More fun than I imagined this series would be, gameplay wise.
This is a very important point and I think that this is partially explained by the fact that, over the years, many of the top-rated videogames tend to be commercially big games. A certain amount of value and prestige has always been placed on The Next Big Thing in videogames in a way that isn't quite the case in the film industry, where the top-rated films from critics, or the Oscar picks, aren't going to be the top-grossing films (most of the time - but not all the time).Regarding Pokémon, I think it's okay to just compare the whole critical reception vs. popular reception to how it works in cinema. The most watched movies of a given year are not the same as the critically perceived best movies of the year. We've been talking a bit about TGA vs. the Academy Awards here and how they're not at all alike, but sales/critical reception is a different matter. Just compare Oscars to box office numbers over the last 5 years.
2020: Nomadland ($39.4 million) vs. Bad Boys for Life ($426.5 million)
2019: Parasite ($259 million) vs. Avengers: Endgame ($2.798 billion)
2018: Green Book ($321.8 million) vs. Avengers: Infinity War ($2.048 billion)
2017: The Shape of Water ($195.3 million) vs. Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($1.333 billion)
2016: Moonlight ($65.3 million) vs. Captain America: Civil War ($1.153 billion)
As long as things aren't absolute utter shite, popularity doesn't not necessarily follow enthusiast-perceived quality or critical reception. I've watched all of the MCU and SW movies, and I’ll probably go see most or all of them until I stop enjoying them, but I'm never going to the cinema expecting them to win Oscars, Golden Globes or BAFTAs. They could maybe, possibly, sure, but that's unlikely and not what their creators are aiming for, either. It's pretty much the same with Pokémon. I never expect a new Pokémon to score a 95+ on MC or OC but they consistently score 75+ (which would equal between 3,5 and 4 stars) and I enjoy playing them. So I’m going to pick them up and play them, but I’m not e.g. playing The House in Fata Morgana or Tetris Effect or Forza 5 because they’re just not my thing.
I'm always asleep for the good horse pun posts.
Holy SHIT.
Anime? Yeah that’s pretty horrifying
Just make a switch game then add ray tracing on top of it for other systems
That's a mean thing to call Dill Spowser.
Absolutely, yeah;
wow, we finally know what the miracle game is!!
Dill Spowser is DEAD.
we should build a Hall of Forgotten Gods
