I definitely want to buy this game, but I think I may hold off until the update.
Does anyone know when its dropping?
Maps are dropping every week or two and the big update is in Aug.

lol no way
who paid them off?
Stealing the show means "Being the center of attention".
The last of us spoilers:
Ellie becomes the protagonist and you play as her during the best part (IMO) of the game. When you are playing as her she becomes the center of attention. Thats not opinion based, thats factual.
In other words, in Winter she does factually and absolutelly steal the show.
Even if the player stops playing as her afterwards, for a part of the game, she became the center of attention, hence she "stole the show". Theres no argument to be made here. When your playing character changes from one to another, the latter becomes the center of attention.
Dont get me wrong, it is an opinion, but one that can be proven right..
But there's no way for him to know that.
Well the original premise isn't so much that people can use motion controls but being able to use them effectively, in order to do a 'quick response'.
It's entirely plausible that most people wouldn't meet his standards of a 'quick response' even when using an analog device.

And there's no way for a reviewer to know if somebody will play a game three times or not. So they shouldn't consider the average playthrough time?

Even if he happens to be right, there's a difference between something subjective, which can't be shown to be right or wrong, and a prediction which can be verified.
Even if 'impossible' means 'impossible for 90%+', it can still be wrong. It's not really subjective.
Perfectly said and I completely agree with everything and it's why I'm so out of touch with reviewing culture. I said it in other threads but the idea of substracting points out of missing features or lacking options would be so foreign in anything else. "I liked action movie x but it only had 3 actions scenes while other contemporary have 5".I was expecting low 80s to be the metacritic average and looks like that's what we got. Basically the mentality of "We need to assign a basic score and then deduce penalties from it for perceived failings" rather than look at the big picture. Attitudes like "Splatoon is fun, but we can't give it a great score 'cause it only has 5 maps and a couple modes - what do you think this is, DOTA?
I usually hate competitive multiplayer games. I'm also not generally a fan of FPS & TPS games. I've tried with different games like Garden Warfare & Titanfall and I see why people like them, but they're just not for me. Even with the rare instances of finding a multiplayer game I like, the toxic community (LoL) or lack of experience (Shadowrun - I first played it years after release when everybody was already experts) inevitably drives me off.
The 90 minutes I spent with Splatoon in the Global Testfire was some of the most fun I've had with a video game in years.
Splatoon is the only competitive online multiplayer game I've played where losing is still loads of fun.
I love how you can still be helpful to your team even with a mediocre K/D ratio. I love how you can coordinate with your team just by paying attention to the gamepad, without needing to talk at all (thus avoiding toxic players & gaining the ability to play with players who don't speak your language). I love how matches are super short, thus minimizing a host of issues. I love how much fun it is just to move & shoot through this world.
Yes, Splatoon might have a few peripheral issues, but the core is so good. The last games I was this impressed with their design include Monaco, Dark Souls, and Pac-Man: Championship Edition.
I know it sounds completely unrelated. Im just using this as an example to show how an opinion can also be a fact, and that not everything stated in a review is merely an opinion.
I had to use an unrelated game, because I havent got my hands on splatoon yet, so I have to use other kind of examples.

Well, they did hire a Bowser that worked for EA previously, so you could be onto something.

man... i'm surprised it got an 8.2 with all of that missing.
I guess what they did right, they REALLY did right... but... this game doesn't sound finished at all.
I agree that they could perhaps written a bit more regarding motion controls to point out that it was only their experience with it, but to be fair, they say other things like "soundtrack will charm players who loved the likes of Jet Set Radio", and people dont seem to argue about that. They dont know if this applies to everyone either, maybe someone wont like the soundtrack as much as the reviewer does.They don't know the average playtime; only their own. And it's perfectly fine to speak about it in that context, as they should have with the motion controls.
What they shouldn't do is make declarative statements about things they don't know about.
I do think that annoyances should be well noted like not being able to quit from the match making lobby in case you don't find people.
So I will ask this, I guess from these reviews, it will be very much worth it to buy the Splatoon Wii U bundle from Best Buy?
I don't think the lack of content is from it not being finished, but rather the gradual trickle is there to keep the playerbase active. Maybe not everything, but the first couple months of content updates are almost certainly done. I don't think Nintendo's release pipeline and QA process would even support such frequent updates otherwise.
It's one of their biggest in new IP launches in ages and probably their biggest gamble on online multiplayer ever, and a low player base could kill it off shortly after release so they're doing everything they can to keep players coming back for a long time.
Only you can answer that. Does the game and system look worthwhile to you? If so, it's a good deal.So I will ask this, I guess from these reviews, it will be very much worth it to buy the Splatoon Wii U bundle from Best Buy?

Despite being highly skeptical (at least on paper), i eventually kept playing with gyro and analog, as that configuration just works damn fine.hmm okay, I can live with that. Core gameplay matters more anyway as you say. If I compare it to other Nintendo offerings, if it came down to sacrificing maps vs gameplay in Smash or Mario Kart, I would sacrifice maps anyday.
I guess I"ll get used to the controls. When I played in the hour long demo nothing felt natural but that's to be expected.
How long did it take you to get used to the Gyro+analog setup? Or did you opt for the dual analog?
Seems like the one big thing that probably is "unfinished" is private lobbies, and even that's probably less unfinished in the sense of it being an intended feature not ready in time and more unfinished in the sense that they probably only just started on it after realizing how much demand there was for it.I don't think the lack of content is from it not being finished, but rather the gradual trickle is there to keep the playerbase active.

I'd do some research if you're interested in buying the console
I could never recommend buying a console for one game
You can't objectively state that someone's the center of attention because that's not a physical state you can test and verify.
I really feel dumb arguing about The Last of Us in a Splatoon thread, but that's a horribly dumb example. "Stealing the Show" is an idiom that means: "to get all the attention and praise at an event or performance"

And a lot better than the usual dual analog option, since here i think the sensibility is a bit off for my taste (and that is exactly where the gyro controls shine, by letting you have that little extra finess by tilting around your gamepad).
Well, I do love SSB4 and I do like a lot of other Nintendo games, but I only have a Wii and 3DS XL right now for Nintendo. I find the Wii U more accessible than the Wii. Also, I could go for Mario Kart, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2 (I may pay $80 for a new and sealed Xenoblade 1), Wind Waker HD and maybe a couple others. I know it's not many games, but some I would like to play.
People do the craziest things to paint faster.Don't be so mean >.> I also can't get used to it. Get bad vertigo and want to vomit all over the place..

Throw in some Donkey Kong and Mario games. But yeah, I know, it's an investment, especially since I have a PC and PS4 that I pay for.

*inane bullshit*
that seems like a solid start. I'll definitely add that if you like Mario Kart games 8 is a must own. I personally don't really like Mario Kart games and 8 is probably my favorite game on the console behind Tropical Freeze. it is a joy to play.
First-party Nintendo games tend to not drop much in price. The Wonderful 101 was an anomaly (seeing as it unfortunately bombed).I fear that if I wait for more content or a price drop, the games player base will have dropped significantly.
Honestly, I'm weird on 8, but that's probably because I'm really, really not used to the new mechanics. The idea that you can customize your car that much and how it relies so heavily on drift-boosting (as my brother calls it "Wiggle that shit") is tough for me, but I'm sure I can get better with time.
