Ban every thread that has bros in the OP

Well maybe if they didn't go all full SJW and turn metroid into a girl.

So which falseflag is this: "omg, not another high scoring Nintendo game", or, "omg, 88, what a terrible score"?

IGN gave it an 8.5, Destructoid gave it an 8, EGM a 9.

So it's an 8.5, cool, I'll wait for the freeshop update

>banning Super Mario Bros threads
Fuck you thinking bro?

By staying vague you can hopefully net both parties of shitposter.

Where's the >HURR DURR MERCURY STEAM GAMES DONT GET GOOD REVIEWS faggot now

this
I'm not buying it but I'm glad its good
releasing it so late into the 3ds' life was a mistake

It just dropped to 87

Considering they're still making more games for the 3DS, does it matter? It's not like the Vita here, Nintendo does give a fuck about its handheld.

my dude

>ACfag absolutely BTFO

I'm seeing 88 with 31 critics on my end.

Nah

Tfw I can't even understand if this thread is against a suppodly low or high score.

87 with 32

Onii-chan, no.

it's a bit higher than the 85 I expected, don't see the issue here OP.

AM2R cucks BTFO

This. Out of boredom in a vain attempt to stave off my inevitable self destruction I bought a 2ds a few weeks ago and I've had a blast with it. I think console gaming in general is just mouth-breathing normie garbage but hand-helds at least have a purpose.

88 with 37 here

89 with 33 now.

>It's a good game but I'm not gonna actually pay for it! I'm entitled to video games!

Fucking morons. You are making me angry

...

>getting mad on behalf of companies
loving every laugh

>reviewers3.webm
fucks sake
he didn't review the game

>worse score than fucking Fusion

>Eurocucks the only place that didn't like the game because it's too hard

surprise surprise

Play the original niggers

It's a good score but the Sony fans are trying to shit on it because it means 3DS is going to still sell well and will mean the PS4 might not be able to surpass it in sales number.

SAMUS IS BACK, BABY !

>comparing 2017 scores to 2002

Bros are fine, "what are some games where I can..." is the primary shitposting vector

EIGHT POINT EIGHT

Shitters will of course do their best to tell you 88 is a terrible score. Don't believe their lies, the low scores are from eurotrash that suck at all games and always provide low reviews.

Now that Mercury has shown it can do remakes well, would we get a full derp situation where someone unknowingly says they should handle a Castlevania remake as well?

Review sites' final number means fucking nothing to a consumer with half a brain.

I think it was 87 for 30 seconds

>Silicon Knights
>Next Level Games
>Retro Studios
>Mercury Steam

What company is Nintendo going to redeem next?

Yeah, back when it had 7 critics.

>Don't believe their lies
Yes. I'm going to not believe gaming critics lies.

Honestly, it's too late.

I've already gotten burned out by all the recent metroidvanias over the years.

If it's just a metroid that plays it safe I can't be bothered, especially with teh amiibo shit.

hes the lead writer at gamesbeat or whatever the fuck its called

this man is paid to influence opinion about video games and clearly knows the square root of fuck all about how to play them

if you cant see how this is a problem for the industry then you must be part of it yourself

>redeem
Piss off. This abomination reviewed well too.

>Ubisoft Milan*

I'm going to say Capcom is next

10/5 MAASSTAPIECE

>45€ for a remake on the 3ds

>euro cuck paying the toll

OH WOW I GUESS IT'S FUCKING UNPLAYABLE!!! AM I RIGHT GUYS?!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA .. OH MY OVERWATCH GAME JUST STARTED!! BRB XDDDD!!!!!!

do we got the edge score?

Anything less than 90 is automatically dogshit. Anything over 95 is proof that reviewers were bought off, and the score can't be trusted.

>tfw Nintendo lets Capcom make another 2D Zelda again and it ends up being great but then gets ruined by amiibo shit DLC

>I expected 8.0
Better than I expected from a gameboy remake

Just don't complain about no new Metroid for 10 years again after Prime 4 is released if you're not willing to support the franchise.

>45€
You can get it for less than 35€ m8

In the high eighties just as i expected.

As much as I'd love it, they'd probably do Link's Awakening first.

what a fail huahua

but the original LoS was pretty good

you can't say the same about the sequels, which gave the series a cancer status

Fusion is a great game though
It was also to be expected since it's a remake of arguably the worst game in the series. 88 is a nice score for it

>was pretty good
It's platforming was good. The visuals were amazing. It's everything else was bad.
>combat taken from Dante's Inferno stolen God of War combat
>trolls and chupacabras and scarecrows and several different types of wolves and wolfmen instead of hold 1980's creatures. Those dolls belong right in Silent Hill.
>music so forgettable that you can't think of a single song besides "that one that had some vampire killer in it"

>only moderately salvageable because of Kojima's creative input
>the company exclusively developed sequels with no supervision predictably performed the worst ever
>rebooted the series because "it was too confusing"

And the worst sin
>having the castlevania title attached to it
The series was already in a slow decline because iga dragged it through the mud by continually trying to reinvent what the series is and I hate him for that. It was then fully killed by Mercurysteam and I hate them for that.

>>Next Level Games
Can't forget that Federation Force! Truly a classic of our time.

>8.8/10 is bad

The absolute fucking state of Sup Forums.

Metacritic shitposting is by far the most boring and uninspired shitposting this board produces.

Can't tell if you think the score is high or low. Why do we have people thinking anything under 90 is bad ?

That's like saying some kid is an autistic dumb fuck for getting a B+ on a test

>>having the castlevania title attached to it

This was because initially it wasn't even a Castlevania game, but was remade into one because it would sell better.
Initially the game was just called "Lords of Shadow" and looked very different. The first reveal trailer shows this off pretty well (before it was rebranded).

>8.8

I hope Metroid dies again, and for good this time. You faggots obviously don't deserve it.

under 9 is extremely bad for one of nintendo's biggest franchises and releases

>not even nintendo bucks and shilling to fansites could get it to 9

>game gets 8.9
BLUNDER
>game gets 9.0
PAID REVIEWS NINTENDO BONUS
Just stop

We live in a timeline where Persona gets higher scores than fucking Metroid

But why? Why put nintendo on such a high pedistool. Plenty of their games got under 9 before, most of them still being extremely good.
"Because it's under 9 and from nintendo means it's shit" what ? What the fuck. It's still a higher then average rated game

A 3DS game is only 1 point lower than the PS4 game of the year? Thanks for the tip OP, I'll be sure to pick this up!

How much of a turbofag do you have to be to lose interest in a game because it has an 88 on Metacritic? Especially if it's a remake of a game released in 1991?

>sub 9

>SO BAD LMAO FAGS BTFOOOOO

>9+

>FUCKING SHILLS REEEEEEEEEEEE

this board needs to be gassed

>>combat taken from Dante's Inferno stolen God of War combat
so, its pretty fun?
>>trolls and chupacabras and scarecrows and several different types of wolves and wolfmen instead of hold 1980's creatures. Those dolls belong right in Silent Hill.
who gives a shit
>>music so forgettable that you can't think of a single song besides "that one that had some vampire killer in it"
the music isn't memorable but it's not really bad either
>>only moderately salvageable because of Kojima's creative input
literally what does this have to do with the quality of the game? if one person made it a good game, its still a good game
>>the company exclusively developed sequels with no supervision predictably performed the worst ever
excuse me?
>>rebooted the series because "it was too confusing"
literally who gives a shit
>>having the castlevania title attached to it
rather have this than SOTN clone 1000 desu

Stay butthurt faggot the 3DS will keep getting all the good JRPGs up until 2019.

Enjoy your mario sports games.

Sup Forums doesn't like video games and would rather fling their arms around in shitposting while they wait for their league game to start

get off my fucking board you goddamn normies, just play some video games and enjoy your hobby

It's on the same level as console war shitposting, and usually just an extension of it.
>score lower than 90 is complete and utter unplayable garbage
>score higher than 90 is paid reviews and the game is actually garbage
Again and again for every single major release, threefold if it's a nintendo or sony exclusive.
If nintendo and sony both release an exclusive within a few weeks of each other I just stop coming to Sup Forums for a while

Persona 5 is PS4 GOTY and it has 93

Persona 5 is a PS3 game though?

>take a 78 game
>remake it into an 88 game
Whats the issue

Better than I expected
I thought it was gonna get a 74-76 meta score

But the best version is on PS4.

>This was because initially it wasn't even a Castlevania game
This was very very very early in the process. When they first announced the game, it hadn't had even months of development time and was already branded castlevania. Every single thing they did with this game was intentional

vg247.com/2010/02/22/interview-castlevania-lords-of-shadows-dave-cox/

>Cox: I think when people finally get to play the game they will understand that our goal was to make an “old school” Castlevania game in 3D. This is a modern take on the classic, so expect things to be different.

>Cox:The fan base for Castlevania is loyal but not limited, and we can’t make games for such a narrow audience and keep the series relevant. We have to target new players and bring new people to Castlevania.

I remember when they were trying to spin this shit as the second coming. And I was beside myself when they said in interviews it was supposed to be more like the original games. Combat and platforming, oldschool style.

>We’re basing our game on the 8 and 16-bit adventures that defined the Castlevania series. For many, Castlevania is defined by Symphony of the Night and all of the games that have come after, so they might not understand what this game is about.

And then I put my hands on that game. See they didn't tell anybody that they were throwing away ALL of the elements that made Castlevania Castlevania. No black-and-white horror elements. No pop-synth soundtrack. No icon big names like Dracula himself (lol that's you) or Frankenstein's Monster. No merman. Just skeletons, wolfmen, silent hill enemies, and notVampires. Oh and here's Satan.

>rather have this than SOTN clone 1000 desu
I already said I hate igavanias. And you don't have to go point to point. We're clearly not on the same wavelength so any debate from the perspective of somebody who grew up with this series is pointless, as you have not.

>2017
>still neo-gaf tier console wars

Why don't you guys just play everything. A lot better then picking a side and limiting yourself from different gameplay experiences.

"supporting" a franchise is a false, self-fellating idea. The money you'd spend is an insignificant amount to them and it's value according to you only applies to you.

Nintendo wins again baby.

I get samus returns this month and when I'm done with that I can go play Mary Skelter.

Did you really expect a game that boils down to either knowing where to go and progressing forward, or not knowing where to go and aimlessly fiddling with your abilities for an hour before you stumble upon the right path, to be running home with nines and tens?

Link?

Hell yeah, you tell 'em, fellow gamer. 4 the players!

"I know other people will support it so I will leech off of them because I'm a huge faggot"

I count 16 9s and 3 10s.

...

>doesn't understand the categorical imperative

If supporting a franchise is false, we should come to the conclusion not to support a franchise. As such no franchise will be profitable. As such no franchises will exist.

Great argument, really proves me wrong.
Protip: if everyone thinks like you, the games will stop being made. Ergo, you only do this because you know that other people won't.
