A portion of a Dtoid review...
I am not glad that The Last Story is, ultimately, a sub-standard experience from a studio that is capable of so much better than this. If The Last Story is the Wii's swan song, it is a miserable dirge, full of regret and remorse.

He was excited for it. It's probably worth more than a 4, but he obviously didn't like it
As expected, the two game reviewers I hate (GI, Destructoid) give a good game bad scores.
Considering everyone's giving The Last Story 8+ scores is a clear sign these two are just not worth listening to.
Going to cancel my pre-order. Sterling's reviews are more often than not usually apply towards my taste. The game never really looked that appealing to me anyway, gameplay or visually, especially considering how brown and muddy it is.
-Gives Kirby's Return to Dream Land a 10
-Gives Kirby's Epic Yarn a 9.5
-Gives Xenoblade Chronicles an 8.0
Yes, clearly he hates the Wii.
I'm pretty sure that's not what's being said there. Pretty sure he's just talking about The Last Story specifically, which to some would be the Wii's swan song, being one 'full of regret and remorse' in his typical pompous/pretentious manner, not talking about the entire Wii library to date. The second sentence in the review goes so ya, might wanna work on that thar comprehension
I just did the same. I couldn't make up my mind for the longest time, but all the negative reviews coming in usually have a grain of truth to them (at least) so I'm going to wait and see what the general population has to say about it before trying it out myself. May pick it up later at a discount.
That's funny folks.
Cause I sure seem to remember it getting positive reviews when it originally came out in Japan. But hey, what would they know?
@Hamr
Oh you.
If by 'reviews' you mean 'review' and by 'they' you mean 'only Famitsu'.
Japanese equivalent of Metacritic, goooooooo.
but hey what would they know
@Hamr
Zengeki and Takt have pretty good score... Curse you NoA/Reggie/Iwata/whoever is preventing localization!
@Hamr
They gave Pandora's Tower a better score... despite hearing that The Last Story is superior to it.
If I believed everything I hear, then I would expect controversial stuff like Other M or Epic Mickey to have been not very good.
Wait, bad examples.
Glad someone did this.
I wish I could be surprised, but I read the GI review a few days ago, and now I expect many more reviews like this coming soon.
On one hand, this game has a 70% chance of sucking like all JRPGs does in thier lifespan. On the other hand, he and the other editorial staff gave games like every cod, skyrim, mass effect 3 8 to 10 scores... Plus, I heard he put the option to turn off auto battle after people told him about it... Our reviewer folks.
According to this, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Fragile are bad ... well I feel stupid.
Funny you should mention that, oh all-knowing one. Considering that Metacritic itself has a current score of 80 for The Last Story. But hey. What would they know.
They are, but that is really neither here nor there.
I am going to need a link to confirm that, please. Considering how you just straight-up lied about its Japanese reception, you cannot possibly expect me to simply take your word, lol.
If you don't know how to navigate the internets to go and look for yourself, then I'm afraid there is absolutely no hope for you.
And I didn't "straight up lie" about anything. Your posts make about as much sense as your avatar. Which is why I typically don't even waste my time with you. Good day.
The difference here is that Pandora's Tower is pretty much universal on that it was the least wanted out of the three. I remember tons of complaints about the game before it even came out. The Metacritic rating also had much lower ratings than The Last Story. Fans thought both Xenoblade/Last Story were better.
The Other M BS was all some whiny fans crapping about how they ruined Samus. It was more annoying complaints tbh.
It is cute how you think refusing to back up what you are saying with verifiable facts is the sign of a strong argument.
Your weird attempts to feign ignorance the existence of easily-apparent things that are on this very page is pretty hilarious.
Tell me again about how Japan loved Last Story and we should listen to them because they are such experts on RPGs.
See that bit at the end where I provide an actual link with hard data that conclusively disproved what you said?
Which is then followed by you refusing to do the same and trying to change the subject rather than just admit you got caught red-handed saying things that are not true?
"Your posts make about as much sense as your avatar."
Lol, what?
that guy has a funny picture of a dog as his avatar, what does it mean
"Which is why I typically don't even waste my time with you."
Yes, because ordinarily you are smart enough to quit while you are behind.
By all means though, keep saying that a score of 59% and a grade of D counts as 'positive reviews'.
So your argument is that people who had not played either game thought one looked better than the other?
Do I have to explain what is wrong with that line of reasoning?
"The Metacritic rating also had much lower ratings than The Last Story. Fans thought both Xenoblade/Last Story were better."
You do realize that all the Prime games have way higher Metacritic scores than Other M, right?
"The Other M BS was all some whiny fans crapping about how they ruined Samus. It was more annoying complaints tbh"
I love how you go from 'Metacritic is the one true measure of fan reaction, the fans are correct, we have to listen to it' in regards to Pandora's Tower and then switch to saying that Metacritic is wrong and 'those people were whiny fans who should not be listened to'. In the same post.
Full disclosure: You are talking to someone who bought, owns, and beat The Last Story. Can you either of you guys say the same, or are you trying to champion a game you have never even played?
Calm down.
Hey, I am perfectly calm.
(We should be careful, though. These pictures might confuse Devil_Rising)
Here is your "proof". You know.....something you could have looked up yourself, quite easily, in a matter of seconds. Enjoy.

Now perhaps you can go back to your daily trolling routine in peace. Ta ta!
Thanks. Still waiting on the admission that you were wrong about Last Story's Japanese reception, but I will take what I can get.
Burden of proof does not work that way. It is not the responsibility of other people to cite the statistics that you are claiming to be true.
And you can go back to calling everyone who disagrees with you trolls.
