Why focusing on skill level makes criticism less useful.

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.
For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."
I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.
Nintendo has prepared a new version 5.4.1 update for ARMS, and the official patch notes are now available.
If your not very good at fighters how can I trust you to explain what makes one game in the genre a 9/10 and another an 8/10?
You don't have to be good at a competitive level, but you have to be capable at playing the game to be able to truly evaluate it and talk about any in depth mechanics if that's the sort of game being played. Oh, and of course know how to read tutorials.
Its hilarious the number of pieces trying to excuse reviewers. When will they start accepting its OK to disagree and be critical of reviewers? Of course while being civil.
If explanation is needed then go for it in review comment. Is it a shocking idea to face the possibility a human mistake was made and try be better? Or is it easier to hide mistakes or worse behind its my opinion ?
*Big sigh*
You need a certain level of overall competence while playing a game. You don't need to be pro, but you certainly shouldn't suck, or label the ability to handle complexity/skill as unnecessary qualities in reviewing.
Na, git gud
