It's starting up huge shitstorms in Japan. I guess people are mad that it's short, non-ero, non-voiced, incomplete (part 1 of 3?) and still selling for full price. Also, people probably had sky high expectations and stuff, which the game probably did not live up to.

So yeah, really awesome(ly bad) ratings.

Ofcourse, that's just a lot of hating, so you want to wait a few weeks for ratings to stabilize a bit more.  Either way, I wouldn't expect too much.

EDIT: Now it's been more than a month, should have been long enough.  Median 80, Mean 73.53, which is alright I guess.

Japanese otakus are silly.  You have examples of stuff like Asairo (Kitto, Sumiwataru Asairo Yori mo,), which despite supposedly being a very good game, received massive shitstorms because it only has 1 single route and only 3 h-scenes (only 1 with actual penetration).  3 years later it still has a sub-80 rating.

Just finished that too. I think I took Riho's route instead. Got a different ending to that. How d'ya get on Kanade's route anyways?

if I recall correctly by selecting this answer

Common Route

1. There's something else she can do.
2. Voice a complaint
3. Go take a shower
4. Just make something
5. Can
6. If her skill with the guitar is impressive
7. Yayoi-chan
8. It has to be hear
9. I am
10. Search The Hall
11. It can't be helped

Kanade Route:

12. Landed in Kanade's hand
13. It's Fate
14. Don't ask
15. Stay silent
16. Won't go back
17. Not all that matters
18. Kanade

If you mean the 40 median, yes, that's bad. Very very bad. However it's currently just people hating, should go back up later.

Here's the current toplist, of everything with a median score of 90 or above.

So if you want to know what Japan thinks is the best, well that's it.

White Album 2 - Closing Chapter
Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO
Muv-Luv Alternative
Baldr Force
Fate/Stay Night
Cross+Channel
Soukou Akki Muramasa
Subarashiki Hibi -Furenzoku Sonzai-
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Kazoku Keikaku
Parfait -Chocolat 2nd Brew-
Baldr Sky Dive 2 - "RECORDARE"
Baldr Sky Dive 1 - "Lost Memories"
Tsukibako (Tsukihime)
Sengoku Rane
Kichikuou Rance

Also, Clannad and Ever17 aren't on this list, but also have median >90.

I've played 4 of those I guess.

Oh right. I found out that DEARDROPS works on some sort of weighing points system and found a walkthrough to get to all four choices. I just skim throuigh Kanade's and Yayoi's cause I don't really have time. I'm on Rimu's one now
