I only meant if you want a game on the specific day, dont buy physical especially through someone who has to ship to you.

I dont really care how you do it otherwise, even if I have a strong preference

Gonna smash so hard.

I saw reviews for Smash in general news feeds. Which struck me as weird. Like either you bought smash or you aren't going to buy it right?

Was anybody waiting for reviews on that?

Yo if they made a DKC remastered with slightly redesigned levels to work better with DKCR's physics and had DKCR/TF's art style I would eat that poo poo UP. Throw in some new rocket barrel levels in there because I. LOVE. ROCKET BARREL. LEVELS.

He's saying no one is going to bother with giving them clicks because they already made up their minds whether to buy Smash or not.

And he's absolutely right.

No he's not, not even remotely lol. Not everyone is a video game forums enthusiast, and even people who plan on buying a product still like to read reviews. And from any media outlet's pov, you'd be stupid not to draft up a smash review given that it's going to generate tons of hype, which translates to tons of clicks.

What a weird conclusion to arrive to.

You vastly underestimate the partisan divide between smash lovers and haters. There is no middle ground, it is world encompassing, regardless of how informed one is, and neither side will be convinced otherwise.

No review will change that.

I only bought it cause I can play Pikachu beating up the entire Nintendo universe. It's basically why I bought MVC3 and Injustice 1. Cause I can play fun people and beat up other people when I'm tired of other games.

It's not the best game ever, but it's fun.

No matter where you stand it just seemly like you know if you are buying smash or not.

Singleplayer curiosity super valid, I didnt think of that.
Also probably a lot of people with a switch who's last game was Wii sports.

It wasnt commentary on the validity of writing a review. Of course everyone will review it. It was just an odd observation that I didnt even think to seek out a review. Even being hype for the game, to the point where I watched sweaty nerds try to explain airdodge nerfs yesterday!

That's incorrect, reviews exist for posters in neogaf resetera to compare to aggregates of other games on different consoles so they can continue the console wars

Fair enough. I like reading reviews for entertainment even if I'm not planning on buying x, but in the case of smash I'm deliberately avoiding reviews just to keep a tiny bit of surprise in there.

Though I'm not too sure how I feel about the world of light stuff yet, hopefully it's more than just a long list of events with a map interface instead of a menu

You're only proving my point; that they're not using the review to convince themselves to buy the game (or not).

The decision was made in advance.

You might not give them a click because you go to metacritic but that won't influence the tens or hundreds of thousands of other users who will in fact give them the click!
