Ouch. Star Fox might actually get a higher score from them.

I don't even like Souls games but are we pretending 8.0 is bad now?
Can good games only be 9.0 and over?

nah, not with those reviewer-proof controls
>>333389890
>>333389890
why was everybody mad at the 8.8 review anyway
TP was fucking trash and didnt even deserve half of the score
>>333390062
was it? never played it but it was the last zelda that ever looked interesting to me. dont like the cartoon direction they took it following that.
>>333390062
Because /v/ autists overhyped it so fucking much that even 9.9 would cause similar reaction
i still don't understand what
>Redundant late-game bosses and areas
even means
>>333390062
I wasn't, it was funny because nintencucks heralded it as the greatest gameever concieved

>>333389636
isnt this the site that gave mgs 5 like, 9.5/10?
>ratings
>relevant
who gives a shit
>>333390062
People overhyped TP so much that you'd think the japs came up with Bread 2.0
>>333390062
it was a zelda game that had been delayed for 3 years and was hyped beyond belief, no score less than 10 would've made the fanboys happy.Also it kinda picked some stupid things to nitpick, honestly.
>>333390205
it probably means they went for an easy build to beat the game quickly with
probably DEX with a really powerful spell
>>333390205
Means the reviewer was tired by that point and wanted to finish that fucking thing already, but the game refused to end to he kept getting madder and madder.
that reviews all buzzwords
what it REALLY says is
"fromsoft didn't pay us enough for this review"
>>333390205
Copy-pasted areas and bosses. Many late-game areas use recycled chalice dungeons maps and the very last area is anor londo.
DaS3 is a fucking trainwreck
>>333390205
recycled assests and enemies.
>>333389636
8.0 isn't a bad score though, it's exactly what I would give it. It's a very good game and a perfect end to the series but not an absolutely outstanding masterpiece.
t. someone who played the jap version
>>333390467
>last area is anor londo
That sounds like a good thing?
>>333389636
>Redundant late game bosses and areas
>implying anyone from gamespot even plays to late game
>Challenging bosses
bosses were easiest in souls series for me lel
Looks like they frontloaded the start of the game with content and made the endgame barren wasteland just like in DS1. Classic bait and switch.
lol
nobody in this thread has ever played a souls game.
>eight point ow
>chalice dungeons
why the fuck they decide to bring this shit again?
>>333390035
Yeah this review feels amateurish. Also what makes the camera inconsistent? Wasnt it always like that with camera assist on?
>>333390543
We already visited anor londo.
>>333390543
>>333390467
>very last area is anor londo
anor londo is like just over half-way through the game
>copy pasted areas and bosses
the only re-used boss is Gundyr and his moveset is almost completely different.
>many areas use recycled chalice dungeon maps
literally only Old Izalith does this but if you stretch it i guess you could argue catacombs does this too.
>>333390548
>long load times
did they review it on a conslol?
>>333390687well fuck me silly
>>333390741
t. From Software paid shill
>>333390725
>>333390507
For Anor Londo you cannot say recycled, like jesus, do you even know what recycled assets are?
Dark souls 2 was nearly all recycled textures for the area, DS3's Anor Londo is a new texture and different looking. You can't pretend this shit is the same exact map.
>>333390870
those points areobjectivelycorrect though
Why are reviewers shitting on the camera controls? What's wrong with the camera?
>>333390725
>good area redesigned
>because it has the same name you dislike it
>completely different look and feel to the area
are you really this autistic anon?
>Redundant late-games bosses and areas
>>333389636
Score aside, GameSpot's DS3 review is the worst I've ever read. There's not a single mention of gameplay mechanics in the written review. Not a single word about weapon arts or the Demon's Souls magic system.
>>333389871
please tell me you're not being serious
this isnt a new concept
>>333390636
>liking Steven universe
ow
>>333390673
The way I look at it, the reviewer doesn't understand that it's very intentional that the game makes you keep attacking in the same direction you started even when the enemy moves, or that your own attacks follow the target at varying degrees based on the weapon you use.
>>333390205
it means he finally got tired of rolling around for 15 hours so he wanted to stop playing a shitty game
>>333391087
Wow that is sad. Thanks for wasting your time so I don't have to do it as well. The whole concept of review scores suddenly mattering for the sake of shitposting is pretty sad though.
>>333390747
Bloodborne only came out on PS4.

but it isn't
I'm fine with the 8/10 desu senpai, would have given it the same. It's still a great game but the Souls formula starts to get boring, especially since there are almost no surprising elements in the game
I finished it btw, I know what I'm talking about

so could you fuck off?
>>333389871
This is /v/. 9 to 10 = paid reviews, anything lower = blunder of the century.
>>333394169

I don't get it.

>>333389636
in an ideal world where five was average, 8.0 would be a good score and i'd be hyped as fuck
unfortunately we live in a world where 7 means a game is dogshit and most games even remotely good get easy 9s, so this isn't good for das3

>>333395279

10 years this year nigger.
And I always shit on reviews.
They don't suddenly become reliable the moment one of them is accidentally right.
a broken clock etc.
First off, 8.0 is a great score. It doesnt NEED to be 9.0 and up. Also why tf do you give a shit, or even read game reviews. The establishment game reviewing sites are complete shit at giving actual meaningful reviews.

>Gamespot has one reviewer
As far as i don't use this retarded pages, someone in this thread mentioned that this guy who reviewed it completed other Dark Souls games and Demon souls
>>333395186
Skyrim would have been much better if the armors weren't full suits. Four slots is fucking laziness and robbery. It was way over-simplified as well.
>>333397084
it's a shitty criticism
"redundant areas"
which is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT if you have played the game. no spoilers, but that is 100% false.
man if this was a regular rating same as movie system i would gladly content with 8/10. fucking fromsoft stop being a cheapskate and spend more.
so this is the new 8.8
fucking paid reviews, this is why noone cares unless a game is 9.5/10 or 10/10.
8 used to be a great score, you know.
>>333395584
LPers and twitcher is more matter now since people can see directly what the game all about, hence more stricter review embargo on shitty games
>>333397294
Skyrim would have been much better in every single way
Every single part of this game has some glaring flaws
I like DaS3 but saying it has Expert level design and a beautiful setting is fucking stupid
Though in fairness the late game bosses are probably the best (Nameless atleast, loved Oceiros too) and the cameras or lockon hasn't bothered me in 70~ hours of playing
The only thing i like from gamespot is danny 'O. others just scream shit.
>>333397564
I really enjoyed it. The gear system is really my biggest grievance.
No doubt there's a conspiracy to get this game rated lower than Bloodborne.
Is there no low Sony won't stoop to?
>>333397564
>2016
>there are people still shilling skyrim
>>333397871
Oh, and the quest journal. The vague description of the quest made it fucking impossible to do some of the objectives without looking up a walkthrough. If they had a real journal like in Oblivion, it'd be much better.
>>333389636
Think of it like this.
Bloodborne was superb, but not perfect or masterful so it gets a 9, and Dark Souls 3 is a worse game, so it gets an 8. You might say then that it's harsh compared to other game scores, but within the context of the series, it's a fair score.
>>333397871I really enjoy it on 150+ mods
>>333398229
What did they give dark souls 2?
>>333398229
>>333398470
they had the same guy at gamespot reviewing demon's souls, dark souls 1, dark souls 2 (i think) and bloodborne. reviewer's name is kevin van ord or something. he's a pretty decent reviewer (although he dropped the ball with the das2 review because gs gave it a nine... if it was him who reviewed it). some other guy reviewed das3. i bet kevin van ord would have given das3 a 9.
>>333398470
9/10, but then the reviews for that game either show that
1. They can't see how superior in almost every way Dark Souls was. Or
2. They overrated it just so as many people as possible try this game out and that most of the faults are things that only people who played the original Dark Souls would figure out.
why does /v/ care about reviews so much?
>>333398854
vee will arm itself with whatever it can get for shitposting
>>333398854
Neo-/v/eddit needs someone to validate their opinion for them wwwwwww
>>333398689
>>333398470
Also, they gave Dark Souls a 9.5, compared to the 9 of Dark Souls II. You also have to consider that Dark Souls III is probably the most derivative of the series, and it's 2016, so standards have improved.
>>333398854
because some games like undertale and the witcher 3 can't stand on their own, people need review scores and goty awards as arguments
>/v/ actually trying to defend their shitty scoring game
ohayo
So serious question /v/
today is my birthday... i have the choice between either:
Dark souls 3
or
Dragons Dogma and Scholar of the First Sin
I've already beaten DS2 but not played any of the DLC
>>333398670
isnt he the same person that gave TW3 10/10?man oh how i wish he's the one in charge of DK3. he's probably gonna give it 9.5 or some thing like that to retcon his DK2 blunder.
WEW LAD
>>333398916
/v/ is part of the problem. This thread highlights that. Reviewers can't give something a 70 without everything thinking it is complete shit so reviewers have to give higher.
>>333399280
DLC is eh, theyre fun but I'd go with getting a new dark souls game instead of 3 more levels added on to the 2nd game.
>>333399094
In what way have standards improved?
>>333399296
Yeah I think he did review TW3 (not that I care about that pile of shit 2bh).
His scores:
>Demon's Souls - 9/10
(Gamespot also gave Demon's Souls GOTY2009... pretty based)
>Dark Souls - 9.5/10
>Dark Souls II - 9/10
>Bloodborne - 9/10
I could see him giving DaS3 a 9/10 for sure. There's no way DaS3 is an 8/10, fuck no.
>>333399664
fuck gamespot for intentionally ruining the average rating for DK3. i'm honestly mad right now fuck i can already hear the heavy breathing of bloodborne sonyggers reading themselves for neverending DK3 shitpost.
>>333392095

I can't even play your shit for more than 30 minutes without getting terribly bored. The combat is garbage compared to Bloodborne, and the only remarkable thing it has is the landscapes.

>audience is part of the problem of inflated scores
>not simply the consequence
That's as retarded as saying that the citizens are the part of the problem instead of the state.
>>333398916
That was never the review scale. If anything, the problem was that today's 7-10 scale actually had a purpose because you had far more games people might actually play that were outright broken. Contrary to popular belief on /v/, the general standards of the games have considerably improved in modern gaming. You might say that the best isn't nearly as good as it used to be, but if you randomly chose a game from a respectable publisher these days, you're much more likely to get a good or fair game than you were before. This isn't merely nostalgia for older gaming but for older review scores, and it's not really based on history.
>>333400179
And DaS3 doesn't go towards that? It is the first game other than Bloodborne to make a shift to current graphics. The first 3 were all relatively similar with small increments as they were same gen, DaS2 arguably worse in some ways than DaS1.
>>333389636
Not that surprising 2bh. Dark Souls 3 was a mixed team effort. It was Miyazaki co directing with a B-Team director and they were leading B-Team. Of course it would be an 8/10 effort.
Meanwhile S-Team (Miyazaki + From's A Team + Sony) made Bloodborne so naturally it's the superior game.
>>333400779
/dsg/ is always shit but this thread is shittier
>>333400667
I was okay with it, it was an interesting way to get new players into the setting and style of the game and served as an interesting contrast to when shit goes down and the game actually starts.
The only awful part was the stupid Wolf Link Twili Souls challenges, I heard the Remaster made it less drawn out but it would've been better to just have the minibosses and that's it.
>>333400950
Its a different kind of shit.
This is just normal 4chan shitposting.
/vg/ is usually more circlejerk with avatars and signatures and tripcode and all this milennial preparedness shitposting
Different flavors of shit.
>>333400845
And the meta average is higher than DeS and DaS1.
>>333389636
Edge Magazine:
>Bloodborne - 10/10
>Dark Souls 3 - 9/10
Gamespot:
>Bloodborne - 9/10
>Dark souls 3 - 8/10
And the metacritic DaS3 average will inevitably continue to fall...
What's the gameplan here PCucks?
>>333400841
I am just saying that you couldn't release a game looking like Dark Souls today and have that be acceptable. Naturally, Dark Souls III has better graphics than any previous entry, making in that sense a better game, but standards have increased because it's a new generation. More importantly, the effect that Dark Souls has on gamers has diminished and Bloodborne did more to recreate that then Dark Souls III does.
>>333399280

Form your own opinion drone.
>>333400836
So if games start getting more 7s /v/ isn't going to shit on them? /v/ shits on stuff that is 89 now. If it doesn't have a 9 or above it is garbage. The standard /v/ argues gets higher each year no matter what the reviewers are doing.
Citizens actually are part of the problem as power is ultimately in their hands. That is how revolutions work. It is dismantling the state and putting something else in place that citizens find more acceptable.

there arent any user scores metacritic for das3 yet you shithead. at least not for the ps4 version which is what i capped.
you know whats interesting? i could have sworn bloodborne's user score was at 8.7 just before before das3's release, and it's suddenly gone down to 8.5. I wonder why :^)
>>333401515
8.7 and 8.5 are both fair for bb.
Between 8 and 9 is pretty good.
If the camera and lock on give you trouble you're just bad at the game.
>>333393259
it has denuvo
>>333401224
You can't say DaS3 isn't meeting new standards because graphics then.
Doing something different isn't about standards as DaS1 gameplay can still be the standard for that sort of game. Recreating for the sake of it can make shit worse not better or even a different standard as the game is something different.
>>333401705
>paid reviewers
of course they are shit. they probably spent 5 hours at the tutorial boss and blamed the camera for it.
>>333393259
I dunno I think the games are kinda shit without the online component.
But then again pc will be full of hackers.
So if you have a console I would say buy it but if you plan to play it on pc then just pirate it.
>>333393115
For me I think I'd give it an 8.5 instead I think while the formula is a little stale I think that they really stepped up this time in combat, the weapon arts and just that little bit to the combat to deepen it enough to feel like a slight improvement but not a total take over.
>>333393445
we would have know by now for sure, like for every other denuvo title recently
stay mad sonygger faggot, getting this one for free
>>333401909
>You can't say DaS3 isn't meeting new standards because graphics then.
Again, you are missing the point. DaS3 could still be an objectively better game than previous entries because standards have been raised. Perhaps DaS3 is less impressive graphically even though its graphics are clearly superior to Dark Souls.
>Doing something different isn't about standards as DaS1 gameplay can still be the standard for that sort of game
That's where the derivative aspect comes in. Dark Souls was derivative compared to Demon's Souls, but was such a massive improvement in so many ways that it clearly built so much on that game's foundation. It's questionable whether this game as advanced as much from Dark Souls as Dark Souls did from Demon's Souls.

Nope, pretty much all of them were unknown apart from EA ones and that is only because all EA games now use it.
>>333401515
Confirmation bias. Correlation does not equal causation.
>>333400096
If it bothers you so much just filter and hide threads. I've avoided all DaS3 threads due to spoilers and I'll keep doing it after I finish the game because, regardless of how good the game is, the threads will just be shit (even compared to the average /v/ thread, which is already quite shit to begin with).

It isn't. No one is saying this. No review is nothing.
I asked what standards have improved that it isn't meeting.
>That's where the derivative aspect comes in.
A derivative isn't bad though if it derives from the standard. It is only bad if the standard has improved because something else was made that was better or it is known how it could be improved. Where has the standard improved?
If you could create the perfect video game then all games derived from it will be perfect except where they deviate if they deviate..
I admire Gamespot, they've always been ruthless as fuck.
>>333404309

>>333404718
>Let met put it like this: there's an inherent value to originality and Bloodborne is superior to Dark Souls in this respect.
There is no inherent value to originality. A wholly original game can be complete shit. Bloodborne is also derivative of souls games it just deviates from Souls games more than others, hence the different name. Just because it is different doesn't mean it is automatically better and also you cannot apply what is BB to a new souls game otherwise it wouldn't be a souls game it would be BB like Bloodborne 2.
Bloodborne is actually a somewhat different standard to Souls games. As you can say BB magic system doesn't meet the standard of any magic system let alone a souls game. It is shit, but you can argue that isn't what kind of game BB is. You can't judge a game for not doing something it wasn't intending to do. So to say DaS3 is shit because it isn't doing what BB did is also wrong as it wasn't trying to do BB it was trying to do something that more closely relates to Souls than BB.

>>333405883
>A wholly original game can be complete shit
I didn't say it was sufficient to make a good game, but as a quality to a game, the novelty combined with the polish is what makes a game good. If I played an absolute masterful game to exhaustion and then I play the remastered version of it, even if it's an objectively superior game in every respect of polish, I would enjoy it less and in terms of novelty, it's utterly deficient and might be a overall worse game because of it.
>Bloodborne is also derivative of souls games it just deviates from Souls games more than others, hence the different name.
Again, I said less derivative.
>Just because it is different doesn't mean it is automatically better and also you cannot apply what is BB to a new souls game otherwise it wouldn't be a souls game it would be BB like Bloodborne 2.
Bloodborne is probably as polished as Dark Souls III, but it changes the combat considerably more than that games does. If somebody has played through the entire Souls series up to BB and DSIII, they'll find BB more novel and probably more enjoyable than DSIII because of how comparatively derivative the latter game was.
>So to say DaS3 is shit
I didn't say that. But for various reasons, Bloodborne is the better game, to the extent that if Bloodborne deserves a 9, DSIII gets an 8.

The worst part of the review isn't his weird negative points, especially since 8/10 is a pretty good score. It's the way he uses bigger words to hide the fact that he has no idea what he's saying. The difference between him talking normally and him talking in his review of DaS3 was just painful to listen to.

Damn i kinda like him. The only reason why i subscribed to Gamespot in the first place desu.
Has anyone else been watching LPs of the game? The level designs are nothing like they were in previous games. Every map is wide open. Every hallway is at least 4 men wide. Every room is gigantic, with just a few enemies planted inside. All the architecture looks scaled up.
It looks like the levels are just big open backdrops, so you can hack and slash the same enemies in same encounters. I haven't seen much intricacy. Like the first two titles in the game offered.

Why doesn't the Bloodborne review also have the inconsistent camera and lock-on issue. Is it because it's a Sony exclusive?

TP is my favorite game but I'll admit that 8.8 is a pretty fair assessment. It's dungeons are great, the setpieces are consistently fun and it's got the best combat mechanics the series has seen so far BUT it is pretty fucking easy, the artstyle is inconsistent and the pacing is pretty fucked. It's got highs and lows, though obviously I think the highs are higher than the lows are low.

His main complaint had little to do with any of that. It was the derivativeness of the game and the poor presentation it had to games on the 360 and PS3.

>expert level design
Is this a joke? Souls has never had good level design. It's entire premise is linear pathways with setpieces.
Not that that's a bad thing, but this implies that Souls has the type of level design you'd see in a platformer, which it fucking doesn't.
>>333415005
There's some truth to the former though I think TP reinterprets enough of OoT's stylings to not be a full blown rehash, but the latter simply can't be helped. It's a Gamecube game ported onto a system that was already much weaker than those two consoles. Like sure, standards in 2006 and all but let's judge a 6th gen game for what it is.
>>333415143

How can a game have "expert level design" and "thrilling combat" and "creative, challenging bosses" while only getting an 8?

>>333414531
Were the abundance of small corridor-like areas not part of what made the previous games so good?
I'm just saying, look at Undead Burg compared to the new starting area.(I forget it's name) Undead burg folds in on itself, so you weave and cross through familiar sections. You can stand in one area, and see the abush of hollows below. The lower undead burg below that, the ambush ahead, and the hollows standing on the bridge. You can see the bridge above where the dragon rests, and in the distance the tower that leads to the taurus demon. You can even see that little balcony with the merchant.
You get different vantage points of the level as you progress through it. Every bit of the level either gives you a glimpse of where you're going, or where you've been. And enemies are creatively placed, taking advantage of the terrain, by creating choke points.
Now? The levels are most flat ans sprawling. There's no need to scout ahead, because wherever you go, the enemies will be obvious. And when they do try to ambush you, they can't choke you because you have so much space, you can just roll out of every situation. Run about a mile away, and heal... Not that you need to run very far to heal anymore. Because now healing is practically instant. Unpunishable.
>>333415239
As much as I love TP and think it's the most polished Zelda, (fuck Skyward Sword, objectively worse than 2006 game in almost every way), I can't help think that Jeff is right.
He actually wanted to give it the equivalent of 6/10 when it was released, but the rating system GameSpot used back then wouldn't let him.

Because 8 is a good score.
>>333416316
Since when does "expert" and "thrilling" and "creative/challenging" mean something is merely "good"?
>>333416316
No, 7 is a good score. 8 is great.
>>333394526
You know, it was overrated as fuck but I didn't entirely hate Gone Home. The sound design and means of storytelling were quite good. The actual story and complete lack of compelling gameplay? Not so much. But I don't think it was a complete blight on vidya or anything, I do like how it managed to tell an entire family's story without using a cutscene or forced dialogue. It almost never forced the player into exposition other than Sam's voiceovers (which should have been removed for consistency's sake) and I wish more actual video games would do that.

You can have excellence in parts, and then lack luster in other parts. Maybe the game is only 80% excellent. Maybe, 8 out of 10 areas are amazing. But 2/10 are just so-so.

Since when does lacking in boss variety and having a minor issue with a camera that no one else does take a game down from a 10/10 to an 8/10?

Well... to play devil's advocate, can't you tell when someone is saying something seemingly false or disingenuous?

>>333417423
Bosses and *areas*. Don't forget the areas.
I don't know, though. I haven't played the game. But maybe there are more redundant areas and bosses than you're imagining? Perhaps, you're imagining like one repeated area with two repeated bosses. But there's actually 2 repeated areas with 4 repeated bosses? I don't know.
Also, the camera and lock-on in souls has always be inconsistent shit. You figured they would fix that after 7 years.
>>333417423
>take a game down from a 10/10
Are you implying that in the process of reviewing, critics should start at 10/10 and work their way down?
That's not how it works. Shit starts at 0, if it starts any higher that's called bias, which is fundamentally impossible to not have, but there is an acceptable margin of error.
If you honestly think a Souls game, or any game to date is a 10/10 you're damn near clinically retarded. Your standards for entertainment can't be THAT low.
>>333417803
Oh shut up. I'm not from reddit. That's just a common colloquialism.
>>333417978
>Are you implying that in the process of reviewing, critics should start at 10/10 and work their way down?
No. What the fuck are you talking about you idiot?
>>333415551
Yes because you can just running gung-ho on cathedral deep, the swamp, and irithryll and nothing can ambush you there. are you sure we even watching the same game? Hell even undead settlement is several layer of depth that you can easily ganked by mob if you not careful. you really need to take that nostalgia glasses off man DK1 is not the all perfect masterpiece there is. Anor Londo is one fuckhuge area not to mention all the late game areas after that are pretty much the clusterfuck of giant corridor residence.

FORCED ANIMATION
Games go by harsher standards because of the amount of time you have to invest in them.
I'm not investing time into a 7/10 even though it is a good game. I'll invest time into a 9/10 instead because it's a better use of my time.
>>333390057

If you check that video every single complaint is about the score.They're not even trying to counter or explain what exacly is wrong with it.Porbably because they haven't tried it yet. But I get your point
>>333418034
Certainly seems like that's what your implying. What else could you mean by that?
Nobody gave DaSIII a 10/10. There is no 10/10 in question. The only 10/10 is the implicative one you set by assuming that DaSIII by default is the mythical savior of gaming, and deserves a perfect score, so in your own delusion you are now confused how the score could have fallen to 8, when in actuality it rose there.
What the fuck else could you mean? The score didn't fall, it only fell in your delusion.
>>333417901
>I don't know, though. I haven't played the game.

The 10 didn't matter. It could have been 9 or 11. The point is that the the cons are not pros, and therefore the game didn't get as many points as it could have. And the weight of each pro and con is subjective.
You're going on some autistic rant about what the "default rating" for a game should be, but nobody gives a fuck.

Outer Anor Londo was the only real huge area, And it was boring, until you came to the narrow path leading down the gargoyal ambush and archers. Sure, it was pretty to look at. But there was nothing substantial, until you go inside the cathedral. Where the level was more confined.
After Anor Londo, you have the duke's archives, which is again layered and confined. Giant's tomb, which is again layered and confined. Drained New Londo Ruins, which is admittedly not that strong of an area. But not needlessly huge either.
And Lost Izalith. Which, coincidentally is the largest late game area and also the shittiest.
You seeing a pattern here? The best areas in late game DaS1, go from the most intricate to the least intricate.
I'm not that familiar with DaS3 yet. I could be wrong. But from what I've seen so far, it appears as though it's just large flat and sprawling. And yes, running seems to be the best tactic in the game. Because there's so much space, you can just go around everything with little trouble, and a few well timed rolls.
>>333406502
There are people that have played all Souls games including BB and don't like BB because of how different it is to Souls games.
>>333389871
Tripple A games get 8.0 for not setting your console on fire and not deleting your other savegames. If it scores lower than that, you just know something went HORRIBLY wrong, like PC release of last Batman game.
>>333418537
You haven't played the game either. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking "how does such and such complaint, equate to such and such score." Rather, you would have simply stated that the reviewer is right or wrong.
I'm only offering a way to reason the reviewer's score.

Here's some objective proof that review scores don't matter.

>I'm not that familiar with DaS3 yet. I could be wrong
Exactly what is wrong with this whole argument. None of your criticism make any sense to me because from what i've personally seen DK3 has one of the most intricate area design yet (atleast miles better than dk2). The cathedral deep, the irithryll, even the high wall lothric is such a good design area. If your only major complaint here is about space-is-2inch-wider/10 why the fuck am i doing wasting time with you. Also i dont play the game yet that make both of us retarded for arguing shit.
>>333400352
>best bosses
Nopenopenopenopenopenope
Some of the worst bosses the series have ever seen. All these years later and I'm still a pallet that they managed to make the spinner boss and the water boss the most tedious boring garbage ever put into a videogame. The spider was pretty mediocre too. The only decent boss was probably the yeti. I can't even remember the rest of the bosses in this game.

>Exactly what is wrong with this whole argument
Ehhh... I don't think so. I think we can discuss what we see, and how are experiences shape our expectations. There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't know the levels by name. So I don't know what you're talking about. And I'm not sure I've seen those areas yet.
I saw the swamp though. That place where you need to extinguish the torches, right? That place wasn't that intricate. They just scattered some mobs around the swamp. Like, I guess the fact that your movement is restricted ads to the thing. But eh... You're still just walking from point A to point B, while hacking your way to the next shiny thing.
>If your only major complaint here is about space-is-2inch-wider/10
If only the difference in space were that small, then I wouldn't be concerned. But it's not. From what I've seen, every area is much more spacious. Yet, there doesn't appear to be any use for the space. DaS2 had the same problem.
>>333422643
There was the burning Goron in chains. He was super easy. Probably easier than the 1st boss.
The 1st boss was pretty cool actually. I will give it a pass on difficulty, because it's the 1st boss of the game. It's the plant monster. Where you need to use the boomerang to feed it bombs. Remember, the mid boss monkey would appear to help you. Swinging from vine to vine with bombs in his feet. So you can had to target the money, and the plant to get the bomb into the plant's mouth.
Neat concept.
The spinner boss was a tad tedious. But that was offset almost entirely, by the sensation of chasing the boss down on the spinner. It felt SO good.
