Well seeing as how the latter is full of game criticism and the former states their only complaint about the game is that the can't play it on different HW for which they apparently lowered the score of the game for yea I'd say you're probably right. One is an actual critique and the other is somebody using their SW review to complain about not being able to play the game on their preferred platform.

I fear it will be Zelda BotW all over again, so prolly another 4,5.
Let's see if the game can stay at the 94 mark, I guess it will drop to 93 eventually though.
Completely agree with Laura's quote in the OP.
I'm sure I'd absolutely love this game, but I cannot bring myself to play a game this big on a console. It took me almost 2 years to beat Persona 3, never ended up beating FES; but I went through Persona 4 Golden in like a few weeks.

I never realized how stupid review score drama is until I saw the first few pages of this topic. It shocked me so hard, I've decided to live out the rest of my life sheltered from numbers :/

Native 4k would be very cool with this art style.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on Switch or portable devices or bust. Zelda did it so it's no excuse!
That was only one example, to show that this shouldnt be a factor in reviews, not that IGN says the game is bad.

It's been added to the OP.
Why should you fear that?

I mean. We have reported numbers for FFXV, DS3, and Nioh. And for Zelda, even the worst selling 3D Zeldas have done over 3 million (while the best have done 8+). FFXV was at 6 million. The is no way BOTW won't do at least 2 million if it hasn't already.
But yeah, the comment was obviously silly, especially considering one of the games he compared had a lower score than FFXV.
This game would be sooooo good on Switch. Huge shame it will never be released on it.
Also, be clear that it didn't affect my scorehonestly, the broken Share button was far more of a knock review-wise for me than those characters were.
But, I still couldn't not mention them. I never brought up the issues I had with either P3 or P4 in terms of LGBT issues in my reviews, because there are indeed cultural differences at play, and I think on some level you have to understand that. In this case, though, portraying gay men as having attractions to and chasing young boys is something that I think goes beyond those cultural differencesbecause, I mean, there are plenty of gay men living in Japan. I don't think it's okay for them to be portrayed that way, no matter the culture.
Are we sure that we're sure of that?
After you were called out.

We need a Japanese dominated gen again.
Bring on a big push for Ridge Racer, Silent hill (lol),
well
I am very happy we are getting a new Disaster and Shenmue too! So tired of western, ubi soft, cinematic games honestly.. Thank you Japan.
And plese don't let the same guy make the OT as the nier one if you don't want a lot of people to ignore his browser kiilling first page

Would you find it agreeable if I docked Monster Hunter for being on an underpowered, cramped handheld as opposed to PC?

The Vita is probably a bit too weak for it, and they would probably want to release it on something more popular.
I'd say that if anything, the inevitable handheld version is bound for the Switch. (Unless Sony makes another handheld.)
And both of those games are essentially lastgen titles. -Well... P5 is too in a way I guess ^^

I had added it to the OP, then thought twice because of the reaction it caused without even being there.
Regardless, it's there now, and saying I was 'called out' when I was 100% transparent seems a bit pointless.
It is pretty amazing the breadth of quality PS4 exclusives have. I was in a Gamestop last week and took a look at both walls (PS4 and XB1) and I was going... shit, when did the Xbox get so outnumbered on games like this? How do they plan to hit back?
I personally agree that you made the right call.

Ain't that serious bruh
Because it shows a bias a bit just cause it might cause problems
You can't cherry pick.
The Digital Trends review brings to light to of my main concerns (overstaying its welcome and forced activities)
My taste for long game has faded. I hope I'll be able to finish this.
I wonder how well it play via Remote Play.
I also agree that this will be tough to play on a TV.

LaMelo Ball dropped 90+ points cherry picking. It's all good.

Two more perfect scores and it should hit a 95 from what I can see.

Problem solved and you're still looking for a fight. Just let it go mang.
The poster's had previous posts worrying about threads getting derailed before. It's not like they tried to hide it.

They like to re-release these games with improvements later on, right? Will there be a Persona 5 Golden, etc?
Thanks.

In response to the Vita complaint, I've been playing remote play almost exclusively and it's fantastic. I generally dislike remote play because of lag and lower resolution, but this game is story heavy, turn-based, and not exactly breaking any graphics barriers. It's the perfect remote play game.

Good thing I didn't.
It wasn't held back due to cherry picking, it was to avoid the unsavory reaction that has closed previous Review Threads.
In the end, it seems that worry wasn't warranted, and it's being treated more maturely than I thought it'd be - so thank you for that, everyone.
The game would look absolutely stunning in crisp and clean 4K/4K checkerboarding.

Looks like I'll have to finally jump in to Persona.
Gonna have to wait though.

Properly fixed. There are only three AAA games in this list.
It's good to see Japanese developers pick up some pretty good releases.
