Why do people take reviewers seriously? They might as well pull numbers out of a hat except Nintendo magically gets a 8-10 no matter what.

They're morons

>People give Arceus as a pass and call it one of the best pokemon games even though it looks like it was hastily crafted in Roblox
>Most of ZA's hate is for its graphics
Okay fine, I'm not even saying that's a bad critique. But why else is the game bad?

When Metacritic adds the option to filter out brown people reviews I'll listen to them slightly.

>Why do people take reviewers seriously?
They don't. They haven't been taken seriously for almost 20 years now.
>BUT MUH REVIWER VEE THREADS
Stop taking the memes seriously, you dipshit.

>>723755586
No, I'm serious. I'm playing the game on Ryujinx right now but I haven't made it far. I think Arceus simply set a high bar, I don't think ZA is bad per se but it's definitely not worth 70 dollars. It's a 6/10.

it's the city. it's not varied enough even with the wild zones and it lacks the traversal methods from arceus and even the combat is different.

it's basically ys8 and ys9. people really liked ys8 because it was open and had different themed areas but people hated the city in ys9. being stuck in a city doesn't confer a grand sense of adventure. even ff7 has to leave the city for the adventure to truly begin.

>it's the city. it's not varied enough even with the wild zones and it lacks the traversal methods from arceus and even the combat is different.
Setting a game in a single city can be adventures, ZA just dropped the ball. I've noticed that the city isn't anywhere near as big as it should be, and it's lifeless to boot. The core gameplay is enjoyable so far, but at the same time, catching shit in the wild areas has to get boring after a while because I can't imagine there being much variety.

>>723755525
I dont know why you're surprised, the same thing happened with S/V where the only legitimate complaint was the graphics. 95% of the bugs that people were crying about were from playing on an emulator

>>723755629
all fake game reviews are made by paid fat white liberals from establishment media companies that they took over

>>723755406 (OP)
At 80 now

>>723756225
I'm playing on an emulator too, I just want to hear other critiques.
S/V sucked even on native hardware so I don't understand why you're defending it. Playing it on an emulator is the best way to play the game since you can mod out all its flaws.

>>723755406 (OP)
Userscore is what you want to trust. Journalists are morons that think their shit doesnt stink. Trust real people.

>>723756415
I don't think the new Digimon game is one of the best games of all time. Sure it's alright, but it ain't no Cory in the House

>>723756339
Looks like the nintendo paychecks went through before anymore damage can be done

>>723756415
You are the dumbest faggot on the planet if you actually think consolewar faggots spamming 0s on everything they don't like means anything. You probably own 50 metacritic accounts yourself and think you're important

Pokemon is a 100 billion dollar series.
They spent 13 million to make Legends ZA.
And it still came out looking like it had a 50,000 dollar budget.
>No voice acting
>Graphics straight from the early 2000s
>Repetitive gameplay
>You skip directly from rank U to rank F so that way they can cut 1/2 of the content you were expecting from the game (because they're lazy)
>The characters are all bland and soulless like talking to ChatGPT
>There's "dialogue options" that are the same thing, Say "Yeah" or say "yes"?
Lol.

>>723755406 (OP)
I legit don't give a fuck about reviews, some of my favorite games are badly rated, pokemon za isn't one of them btw, that game is just plain mediocre and lazy.

>>723755893
Pokemon is a video game series.
They might make most of their money from the merch, but at its heart Pokemon is a video game series.

Legends Z-A is technically part of the mainline series of Pokemon games, even though it's not a new generation (which is the REAL REAL mainline series).
They only spent 13 million on making Z-A. That's an insult.
And again it still doesn't even look as good as you'd expect a 13 million dollar game to look. RPGs have had voice acting since like 2001.
Lol.

Good

>>723757134
Still bought Pokemon Legends Z-A.

User reviews are worthless

>>723756654
Yeah but in general it’s just more trustworthy than critics.

>>723756857
The thing is, is that good games don’t get review bombed, for any reason.

ghost of tsushima is so fucking overrated it's insane

>journos are either paid to shill or they'll just give a good score because of brand loyalty
>users can either be console war fags or just straight up haters that don't even own the product and they're just spouting hateful nonsense in hopes the product will flop
Review scores have always been a meme. I also don't need opinions from literal strangers to determine if a product is good or not

>>723757535
>nintendie now siding with game journos because theyre the only ones paid to defend nintendo
