Cosmo. Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Tbqh 81 is pretty good for what it is, especially with all the cut content. But we will get it later for free, while other companies cut stuff and make it DLC. So i think 90 should be a fair price from what i've seen so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 With the embargo up, Metacritic has Splatoon sitting at around 81, but it seems that most of the complaints are about things we knew about– i.e. a lot of maps, modes, etc. not being available until August and no voice chat. So I'd say we could expect a ~5 point increase come August, but voice chat would probably have gotten it more like ~10 point increase. Either way, doesn't really affect my opinion. I'll be playing it. http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/splatoon/critic-reviewsI read Jim Sterling's review and he more or less says the same thing. Only other thing he really criticized was the online lobby system can use some other. He really seems to like the game though and I'm just happy it was able to meet it potential, even if it was rushed out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 The only question left at this point is if it will have longer legs than Evolve or Titanfall. It needs to last 2 months, then I think it'll be good, but neither of those other two games even lasted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had lots of hype and it's very original compared to the other two. Also in this period not many games that could overshadow it are coming out, so i think this is gonna shine. And with the promised free updates, Squidfests (or was it Splatfests?) and the later unlock of ranked battles. The interest will be kept quite high for a while.

Agro Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think I'd be giving it better chances if it let you party up with friends day 1. I think this one is gonna last at least 2 months.

And with the promised free updates, Squidfests (or was it Splatfests?) and the later unlock of ranked battles. The interest will be kept quite high for a while. You could make easy arguments that both Evolve and especially Titanfall had a lot of hype and were both original in their own ways, though. They didn't have that much competition either. Titanfall more than Evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo. Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I mean I'm happy with it, I'm just a little worried. I understand you, but as long as the games has fans (and the hype proven and all the stuff proves it does have) it will stay well alive for a while. I wouldn't also care if it dies down, because we that enjoy it are still playing it, not being a massive hit doesn't instantly wipeout the game, so i'm pretty chill about it.
