Right. but it also has split second timings that make screw ups during that time much more punishing.
You mess up in Okami you just exit the draw screen and re-enter it and you've probably lost zero opportunities for it because of how slow the game is.
If you mess up a morph in the middle of an air combo you've effectively dropped that air combo. Which seems to be where alot of the criticism is coming from.
that and Okami's draw was never really the combat to begin with. When I played I actively avoided combat and enjoyed the creative ways powers were used outside of combat way more than they were used in it.(outside of stand out boss fights like Nine-Tails)
What did everybody expect a 101/10? An 8 average is pretty damn good for a niche action game that the general public will likely scoff at.
Face it, we are the minority. It won't light the sales charts ablaze no matter what scores it got. Enjoy it for what it is: a cool unique game that is fucking fun to play.

Memories of god hand and kid icarus uprisings reviews have come rushing back.
If you honestly expect game reviewers to learn the mechanics and controls of games if they are not immediately graspable then I have a bridge to sell you. Most gamers nowadays dont want to do that.

Five out of the seven unite morphs are in the demo, including the oh-so-hard whip and hammer. They work perfectly fine, even in mission mode, where time doesn't slow down while you draw. The bomb uses the same symbol as the hammer, just in reverse - shouldn't be an issue, either. Which leaves us with the claw, and I don't think a Z will be any harder to draw than an S. The whip in particular is one of the easiest symbols to draw, actually.
Gaming board posters really do forget that 20 vocal people don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of games sales. Going by this board you would think that Nier, Majora's Mask, RE4 and Shenmue are the 4 best selling titles of all time.
Technically anything above 6 is supposed to be an above average game, but of course we things don't operate like that. Publications need to make their readers feel good and such. That being said, 78 Meta so far, which is better than a lot of cult classic games out there. Even if the game got negative reviews, the demo is there(I personally think that demos for all games should be mandatory in this age), so you can try it for yourself and see if you like it.
I do understand the future angle, where review scores can impact sales of a game that a person likes, which could negatively affect the chances for a sequel/follow up/expansion/dlc, but that's no reason to go up in arms, especially when it's got a Meta in the green.
Okay looks like reviews are OK.
Personally, I loved the demo and really enjoyed. Heck, even my 11-year old sister had a ton of fun with it. It's not as if this game is not accessible if a kid can play it (easy). She even platinumed a section.
As much as I would love to get this game, I can't help but to think I probably should wait for a sale. It will probably get a sale sooner than usual Nintendo games. I want this game though, the first Wii U game that made me do a 180 towards it because of a demo.

These are pretty good scores. 3/10 cant possibly be based in reality though.
I havent played W101 nor have i seen much on it but trailers, but i wouldnt give a 3/10 to a goddamn web browser game even if i were comparing it to a AAA installment on a major console.
3/10 is like saying the game doesnt play always when you put in the disk. Or that you can't actually complete objectives due to certain glitches.
Is W101 a glitch fest? Doubt it, is it 100% playable and fun but somebody is just exagerating a tad? Definitely.

But then how we are supposed to judge everyone skills and tastes?
after playing the demo, I do think that drawing to change weapons is flawed on a conceptual level. especially for such an action packed and fast paced game.
the game's core mechanics and combo system revolve around whether or not you are able to draw a certain symbol. if you mean to use a hammer but the game registers the drawing as a fist, it becomes frustrating rather than difficult.
though it still is your fault for drawing the incorrect symbol, the blame also lies on the designers for using such a faulty control system.
maybe next time, BronzeGames Inc.

Reviewers didn't seem to change their review scores over it, so I'm guessing not nearly as much:
Jesus Christ, a 93? The last third of the game is worth at least a 20 point deduction.
So you don't use the full scale? Okay.
I was just pointing out what the reviewer was complaining about. Like I said before, I haven't played the demo, but I've read multiple demo impressions on GAF, and there's been a few complaints mentioned about drawing the unite morphs for the whip and hammer ( maybe it was also due to dealing with the learning curve). Although, I wasn't aware of the mission mode's difference in not slowing down time. Anyway, I'll take your word for it, but we'll see what GAF thinks of the full game experience soon enough.
I think most of the complaints regarding the whip were that it was too easy to draw.
But I think it mainly comes down to how they're drawing them. (Just like it was Okami)
Exactly this.

Retail is retail presence, like those giant cardboard stands you see or the clerk telling you to buy it.
Wow. This one picture gave me crazy insight on how this industry works. It all makes sense.
The IGN playthrough video was pretty bad. I hope whoever reviewed did better than that.
Either way, This looks like a great game for Wii U, Why is everybody so mad at it?

93 sounds right. Maybe it's a little low.
Considering one of the "camera tweaks" he'd have liked was that it would have been better in third person? Who knows.
did he ever not play an isometric game before? who knows.

lol, did he accidentally play an fps?
So wait, is 3.7/10 what you gave the game? I don't understand the language so I have little to no context here.

it just occurred to me how insanely perfect okami would be for the wii u.

Where's my pitchfork
The majority of reviewers don't use the full scale. A 3/10 seems absurd for an overall solid game that is not a glitchy mess.
So it's a satirical comment? That is what I get from the translation.

Are you suggesting that 101 is not a genre defining flight sim?
Cbajd5

No, it's a perfectly acceptable review since it's his opinion on how the game is as a flight simulator with poor controls with the Move controller and once again shows how the west does not understand action games or Japanese culture.
Because it is his opinion as his review that makes it correct and not allowed to be criticized, otherwise you're just defending the game as an uninformed outsider who has no right to their opinion of the game despite however much they may have played/looked into it.
Thus it is indisputably a bad game.

I thought the demo was excellent so I was expecting higher scores. I thought this was going to be a legendary game for the ages. I guess not everyone likes the same things I like. Oh well.
I just hope gamers buy the game if they enjoyed the demo because I would hate for kamiya to start making "run of the mill, check the boxes to get a 10 from reviewers" type of game.
His games might not be perfect but they are enjoyable as hell.
Preordered and waiting. Can't wait to see the combo videos when the game is released.

Might as well just pay for review scores and save everyone time and effort if you're going to do that much

I guess nintendo and platinum did a good thing to promote this gmae by putting up a demo. Otherwise a lot of people would have just ignored the game or would have cancelled preorders

Oh well, game didn't get glowing 9's and 10's across the board, i'm still buying the fucking thing, that demo has me more than sold. I imagine it'll hover around a 75-80 average on metacritic, which is still really good. Yikes at the 3/10 review, I haven't had nearly the issue with controls going off the demo as they apparently did. I admit sometimes I don't draw the correct thing, but the more I played the smoother it got. Definitely takes a bit to get used to.
Must be a nod to the legendary IGN God Hand review :b
