[video=youtube;I5EzAh7ZkZI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5EzAh7ZkZI[/video] People swallowing the bait and hook and overreacting in spectacular way? No way!

People in the comments complaining and insulting every Nintendo player and call them "the worst fanboys/nintendrones", etc should look in their mirror for once.

I for one am extremely shocked that Jim Sterling has given this game a lower review than most other people! Shocked I tell you!

Just shows how some people are willing to believe anything as long it suits them. Literally fake news but none of these idiots even check meta-critic to see if it is real. Basically [t]https://i.imgur.com/BsYlPu1.png[/t] They got baited with very low quality bait.

The first to swallow the bait and start the rumor was none other than... Mister Metokur [media]https://twitter.com/WeWuzMetokur/status/923539769665245184[/media] Not that he was wrong to swallow the bait, of course, I'd believe it. In fact, I sort of want him to give Odyssey a 7/10 for real just to see the real show

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52827154]Who's this cunt?[/QUOTE] An alt-right youtuber who pisses me off immensely. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, extra-cringy humor and being an all-around cunt are all staples of Mister Metokur's content

Just want to point out that Jim gives lower reviews to games that are too hard for him and anything Nintendo. I would also like to point out that Jim does not finish games he reviews and has actually lied in his review of games so this fake had the potential to be real

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52827203]Got a single fact to back that up?[/QUOTE] His PSN account. He reviewed one of the final fantasy games and said the final boss fight was too hard and he would lower his review score because of it. When you check his PSN account he only beat the first boss of the game and then stopped playing.

Its just an opinion guys

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52827203]Got a single fact to back that up?[/QUOTE] He doesn't even have a singlelicious satisfact to snack that up

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52827208]His PSN account. He reviewed one of the final fantasy games and said the final boss fight was too hard and he would lower his review score because of it. When you check his PSN account he only beat the first boss of the game and then stopped playing.[/QUOTE] So, wheres the actual proof. All I see here is a few words with nothing to back it up.

I know the whole rating system is trash nowadays but 7/10 doesn't seem like a bad score to me. I'd expect good games to be around that rating, even a 6 honestly.

It's not an official review, to those who don't get it. Jim hasn't reviewed the game yet. [QUOTE=Citrus705;52827213]Its just a fake opinion guys[/QUOTE] fixed

[QUOTE=Hanso;52827227]I know the whole rating system is trash nowadays but 7/10 doesn't seem like a bad score to me. I'd expect good games to be around that rating, even a 6 honestly.[/QUOTE] 9/10 is considered a trash rating to fanboys, you don't remember the shit a load of reviewers got for giving BOTW less than 10 and actually pointing out problems with the game. Fuckers went rabid on more than just Jim.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52827208]His PSN account. He reviewed one of the final fantasy games and said the final boss fight was too hard and he would lower his review score because of it.

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52827237]Is... that it?[/QUOTE] Hmm. For me, I didn't like how Jim brought up stamina in BOTW as negative. The stamina vessel and that he criticizes the game for not letting you get everywhere from the very beginning. I didn't see him criticizing that aspect in Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 which also don't let you get everywhere from the beginning. Also "forced" tutorial.

[I]omg he rated my favorite game 7/10, lets all bash him[/I] wtf is wrong with nintendo fanboys

Jim my boy, going to /v/ and thinking that the board is representative of the entire fanbase is getting a bit too judgemental. Let me remind you that these are the people that shitpost for a living, and make images like this. [t]https://i.imgur.com/W3K6cnZ.jpg[/t] Taking anything you see there at face value is on you.

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;52827249][I]omg he rated my favorite game 7/10, lets all bash him[/I] wtf is wrong with nintendo fanboys[/QUOTE] It's a fake review and the relationship between Jim and Nintendo players isn't the best. But games like Uncharted 4 also saw a massive influx of ps4 players bashing reviewers when they gave lower scores for it.

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52827237]Is... that it?[/QUOTE] I actually can't provide evidence now because when there was controversy over this a long time ago he set his account to private so you need to be friends with him to see his trophy list. A game reviewer who doesn't beat the games he reviews should at least say so as a warning otherwise they're untrustworthy. You wouldn't trust a movie critic if they only watched the first half an hour of a 2 hour movie

Lots of words being thrown around with very little proof to back it up Projared gave it a 8/10 and Projared is a massive Nintendo fanboy. Some people are just actually capable of noticing a game's shortcomings.

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;52827249][I]omg he rated my favorite game 7/10, lets all bash him[/I] wtf is wrong with nintendo fanboys[/QUOTE] The Washington Post posted a review for [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/05/12/uncharted-4-a-thiefs-end-review-this-four-part-series-should-have-ended-after-part-one/]Uncharted 4 giving it a 4/10.[/url] Within a day [url=https://www.change.org/p/washington-post-remove-the-washington-post-review-from-uncharted-4-s-metascore]a petition was started[/url] asking them to remove the review from their website. Then the writer, Michael Thomsen, had comments on his personal Twitter account such as these. [t]https://i.imgur.com/WiPKx2d.png[/t] If all of these is in fact real opinions, then gaming in general has a problem, not just Nintendo. If this is just /v/ having a giggle, then what we have here is shitposting taken to the nth degree.

Here I'll actually help you out and get you started with the three latest: Mario + Rabbids - [b]8.5[/b] Splatoon 2 - [b]7.0[/b] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - [b]9.0[/b]

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52827295]If this is just /v/ having a giggle, then what we have here is shitposting taken to the nth degree.[/QUOTE] I don't think people understand the lengths /v/ will go to shitpost. There were people making spam posts saying "MARIO ODYSSEY WILL GET A 100 ON METACRITIC" solely because they know that no matter what it'll get less than that and they can say "Nintendo fans actually believed it'll get 100!" :v:

/v/ is mostly shitpost central about whatever popular right now, which is Wolfenstein and Mario Odyssey with console wars or western vs eastern games sprinkled in. Though in a good night you can get some nice discussion about games once the shitposters are sleeping.
