OpenCritic accidentally put in an unscored review (Dexerto) as a 0 lmao
I was very excited to read the justification for a 0/10, and all I found was a positive reviewOpenCritic accidentally put in an unscored review (Dexerto) as a 0 lmao
Oh no, of course not. Just didn't understand some folks' reasoning.I mean, do you expect people to just lie and say they expect a score they don't expect? I do agree 75 is definitely too low, and the same probably goes for any under 80 prediction. However, we've all seen the same game and (likely) played the game demo, and are making our predictions based on those (and what we think reviewers are gonna think).
From the Eurogamer review, that's all I needed to hear.Or there's the campaign that, having given me some eight or more hours of hard-edged challenge, is worth the price of entry alone. Single-player campaigns aren't new to Splatoon - the first games' was essentially its tutorial, while the second fleshed it out a bit further until the Octo Expansion delivered a fully-fledged single-player experience as a paid download. Splatoon 3's campaign is as fulsome (and as frustratingly tough in parts) as the Octo Expansion, which if you've played it - or heard the rapturous response it got from players - you'll know is a very good thing indeed.
3/5
Review: Splatoon 3 gives Nintendo’s weirdest world its safest sequel | VGC
How do you expect to defeat aquatic enemies without an obvious hook?www.videogameschronicle.com
Only one point better? What a failure. Don't just cancel Splatoon cancel all of Nintendo they're washed.snapping this before the score changes
That's a YASS from me.From the Eurogamer review, that's all I needed to hear.
The previews only got to play a couple levels without any context so it's not too surprising that things heavily turned around with the full game.Huh, story mode sounds better now than in the previews. Wonder what the expansion could bring?
This is all I need as I know what I’m getting with the multiplayer and having 24 hour salmon run availability was already enough on the multiplayer side for me. Just needed more Octo expansion and less Splatoon 2 base single player for this games story mode.From the Eurogamer review, that's all I needed to hear.
Man I was going to put Splat3 on the birthday wishlist for later in the month but I don’t know if I can wait that longThat's a YASS from me.
Not sure why it would drop a full three points, Nintendo games generally don’t drop many points after the initial wave of reviews outside of the sports titles.84 Metacritic right now, so probably an 81 overall! Decent scores but lines such as: " it's almost easy to forget that it doesn't bring much new to the table. Almost. ...", from GameXplain of all places probably will not do much to alleviate peoples concerns about the game.
"Splatoon 3’s single-player campaign takes all the highs of Splatoon 2’s creative Octo Expansion missions and places them in a satisfying hub world where freedom of choice lets you get as much as you want out of your playthrough — confident that you’ll be back for more. Even when it relies heavily on familiar enemies, smart level design and objectives, and bosses brimming with personality keep things fresh for the whole ride."
All the doubters when a well polished first party Nintendo game doesn't score below 80
Damn... can we please stop it with the misinformation about NintendoLife's coverage of this game? Please point towards their "weird passive-aggressive vibes," because, as someone who's watched all their coverage from the game, I literally never got those vibes at all. That is unless you think anything less than extreme excitement and complete adoration is "passive-aggressive," or something lolI know it’s different writers but the tonal whiplash from NintendoLife giving it a 9/10 after the weird passive-aggressive “iterative reused assets sequel” vibes from some of their preview coverage is just a sight to behold
Splatoon 3's existence feels like a corporate decision, meant to fill a release calendar, as opposed to being driven by good design ideas. I rarely find myself thinking that about a Nintendo game, but Splatoon 3 is that disappointing.
