Yesterday, IGN's Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire review was posted on YouTube. When they review the main series titles, it is in a fairly positive fashion. But, remake scores have been getting lower. Here are some scores for reference:
Red/Blue: 10
Gold/Silver: 10
Ruby/Sapphire: 9.5
Fire Red/Leaf Green: 9.0
Heart Gold/Soul Silver: 8.5
X/Y: 9.0
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire: 7.8
What were the cons, you may ask? There's too much water and too many HM's.
Why would you complain there's too much water? It's based off an island in Japan. Why would you complain about that? This has grown to be an overnight meme.
I kind of agree there are a lot of HM's. It isn't an overload. But, there are a lot.
I was excited to see this review after they praised X and Y. But, like Destiny, it was over-hyped and underwhelming. The video review is short, weak, and poorly made. It doesn't go over post-game features, new mega evolutions, and doesn't dig into the remade Hoenn.
There is a good reason why the video has so many dislikes. I don't want IGN burned at the stake. But, I want to see an apology by the reviewer herself. IGN needs to get it together.
