>>58501492If you want real fun, whenever some highly-shilled game/movie comes out, actually READ the 10/10 critic reviews (preferably through an archive), it's baffling how these people can be real, how they'll do shit like absolutely bukakke a common gameplay mechanic as being incredible, or spend a couple paragraphs on how [actress] was the showstopper of the movie.
Sometimes you can catch them latching onto something and making THAT be the deciding factor of the score, too, like an in-depth character creator that they spent hours on, or forgoing the "game" itself to spend 8 hours on the romance mechanics because they found a character they really like.
Plus they don't have to factor in the price of the game/console because they rarely have to buy them themselves.
Reviews get a lot more favorable when "what the fuck, I paid $70(+) for THIS?" isn't a factor.
>>58501781Note that most of the reviews in these screencaps are of the ""Switch 2 edition"". It's still not a 10/10 on Switch 1, but on a next-gen console? Fuck, man, there's Gamecube games that look better.
Nigga, PLZA's STILL using the 3DS models for the Pokemon, minus a few that were manually updated selectively, you can do shit like count the verts on some Pokemon, plus all the flat walls and such should be unacceptable on a brand-new next-gen console you spent $700+ on.
Not like most reviewers even have to buy their consoles anyway, funded either by the company they work for, or Nintendo themselves.>>58505660 (me)Forgot to mention I find it extra funny that whenever GF makes a non-Pokemon game, people jump and yell to try to get people to buy it, for various reasons.
Even with all that free "marketing", most/all their non-Pokemon games flop hard, putting them even firmer under TPC/Nintendo's thumb.
