Bulbagarden's Average Joe

Huh, they bring up some valid critiques. Though, , I thought the games were supposed to be repetitive?

Game Spot are douchebags, the lowest it got besides from them was 8.75/10 from Game Informer.

7.5. makes sense. It's harsh, but for good reason.

Gamespot also gave Golden Sun Dark Dawn a similar score. I know BW aren't giant leaps of innovation but they've done a good amount to shake up the formula. I don't see any of the "more of the same" bs argument big enought to lop off that many points.

As stated Game Informer gave it a better score. I remember when they reviewed Ruby and Sapphire- both games got around a 7 and tthe reviewer basically tore them to shreds in the actual review.

^ All the cool people insult things for small, pretty reasons.

I can understand their critisism for the repetitiveness but not enough to warrant that low of a score. And that's the only thing in "The Bad" section was "it's the same formula" so any other problems they had couldn't be that bad.

Exactly! It's cool to hate. Go to the anime forums, you'll see what I'm talking about. Giving a not-the-best score to a popular, loved game shows how "non-conformist" they are.

The only thing that could make this review cooler is if they used ALL CAPS for instant cool cruise control.

Oh No, the almighty GameSpot reviewer has spoken!

We care because?

I agree with it, it was disappointing. The plot wasn't that great anyway, and it felt even more linear.

And I've been playing it since last October.
Not everyone has to give it a 10/10, honestly. I would give it an 8/10 if I could, as to me, it just felt like HGSS with a new battle engine. And that's it.

Nobody ever said it had to get a 10/10 everytime. I was just shocked at the score.
