Objectively, it will be a 78-84 game. But vidya gaem joornalists will give it 90+, because they'll get that game from their wives boyfriends.

Well if you were paying attention, you'll see that Buggy Loop called me out for cancelling a preorder. What you're doing is misconstruing valid criticism as hate. However, that's standard behavior for most nintendo fans.
I dont know I still find it fucking weird paying lot of money on something you hate....sure your money and all but still pretty stupid way spend your money.
 
A new Nintendo system that didn't launch with a IP platformer.... I'm going to guess this will be 97/98 based on the lack of the flagship Mario and hunger for something new and somewhat inventive
 
Are you intellectually disabled? Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just curious...

Wow you went in and buy something you were long time doubter, disappointed about performances before even release, bought a game you kept saying had frame drop galores and a machine that is for Nintendo games that should be 20 points less on metacritic

Make it make sense

What some peoples would spend cash on to have the right to troll
 
But you cancelled your Switch 2 preorder uh? When all Nintendo scores are 20 points too much? With that kind of take you really went in and try to convince anyone on GAF you had a $499 Mario Kart bundle preordered.

You guys are so fucking obvious with the bullshit.
Fear of the big N

Like any nintendo game 30 points higher than it deserve

80+20 Nintendo points

Nah its years of Nintendo Reviews experience

They're re all in metacritic, witnessing Nintendo Fanboys excessive and persistent hype

Going for a conservative 99 however if it wasn't for jealous Sony and MS shills it'd probably get 100.

It's Donkey Kong by the 3D Mario team. The ultimate video game.

Haha, I like the reverse uno card here since we already have the Nintendo game inflation posts already.

I am going to go with a 92, it would have been a 98 but damn those Sony/MS shills.... 😆

"Score is 20 points higher than it would be if it wasn't Nintendo" is not valid criticism but pop off
 
Around 80% is possible if certain circles have their way to keep it lower than Astro Bot or Rift Apart or whatever mascot game wannabes, though it's hopefully gonna be a way better game than that'd imply and on par with other Nintendo flagship titles in quality, not just in experimental ambition.

I'm a bit confused about the American review system as for example IGN has historically seemed to have an inflated rating system. But personally I think that from 1-10 it'll be an 8. Which is very good, but not at the same level as Odyssey or Galaxy.
 
Based on the last round or previews, it's going to smash.

91, with minor complaints about performance

The smashing and breaking taking center stage over platforming will be hit and miss for people, so you will likely get some 70s and low 80s reviews, but I expect 90 or 91 overall.

Anyone that will not get an ounce of joy smashing stuff and detracting points for it are absolutely bananas and probably a Kremling in disguise.

This isn't Kong at all.
 
Regardless of what the meta critic score lands at, you gotta take off a minimum of 20 points of meta critic scores of Nintendo games to get the real score.

Mario odyssey had a meta of 97 but in reality, the game was at best an 80. It was good but nothing special. The same thing happened with BoTW but that was even worse. It was like a glorified tech demo. An empty boring open world game. A 6/10 and complete waste of money.

Donkey Kong from initial previews and gameplay looks to be an 8/10 game. The destruction is its best asset from what we've seen so far. Everything else is pretty mediocre.

The great thing about Nintendo review threads is they always give me lots more fodder for the ignore list (you're on there now BTW, don't bother replying)
