Why all the hate towards a reviewer?
If you love your game just play it and enjoy it.
Why do you care if others have different opinions about the game you love?
Is your love for the game so fickle that one bad review takes away from your enjoyment for the game?
Or are you just trying to cover up your own buyers remorse?

One of the least liked on /v/. Most other people still remember it very fondly.

Also, /v/ is one of the only places online where San Andreas seems to be the unanimous favorite. Vice City tends to be more popular otherwise.

>>8158569
It got really good reviews because it was quite the update in physics, graphics and realism compared to SA and everyone was stoked. Later when people got used to modern technology the magic wore off.
>>
>>8158544
True. And it's also hard to shake the idea that that all the 10s were awarded in large part out of brand affiliation and the hype cascade preceding it.

I don't think it's really possible to trust that a Zelda game review is fair. Few people are lukewarm on the series, and if I were an editor I'd wonder if I should even be assigning a big review like a Zelda game to somebody who's lukewarm and has limited familiarity with the series, if I could even find him.

As with most Zelda games, I'm pretty sure the most honest review would simply be "If you like Zelda you'll like this." I'll probably like BotW when I play it, but I really doubt it'll be like the second coming.

There is no way you could give this game a 10/10 with that atrocious framerate. Any objective review would at the most give it a 9.5-9.9 for that. A lot of other games get criticized for their framerate, but in BotW it's far worse, far more noticeable.

I don't think people who overrate the game are doing it out of malice. They're probably just go-alongs.

I don't think that's great either, but it's better than just trying to bring others down. They really like the game, and want everybody to enjoy it as much as they do.

Publishers and site editors etc. don't even need to tell gamers or game critics to do this, so even though it looks and works like a marketing putsch I don't think it's an actual conspiracy. Not in Zelda's case, at least. In any case both highly reflexive camps make it hard to take game criticism with anything other than a tub of salt.

I will never understand why people care about review aggregates so much (metacritic and rottentomatoes). Most of these "professional" reviewers probably don't know any more about games than your average /v/ user. That's not me being arrogant, it's just a true statement. These writers for publications are not some kind of video game scholars or experts. It's weird how so many people use a site like metacritic - and the opinion of less than 100 critics - to determine the value of game and its place in gaming's pantheon of greatness.

Both are being dishonest, and that makes both sides very poor reviewers.
Personally, I would like to see standardised criteria for game reviews.
For example, gameplay, story, graphics, etc. need to be reviewed in a standardised way and scores need to be calculated properly.
As it is now, we read walls of blather from people and get a score at the end, it's pointless really.

I'm tired of every review reeking of hyperbole. Like they want to establish a game as the next great cultural artifact instead of simply analyzing the game and what may be good or about about it. How many times have you read a sentence like "Sure, this aspect of the game may be a bit weak, but that doesn't detract this game from being an absolutely flawless masterpiece," or some variation thereof. Most flaws in a game are mentioned in one tiny sentence and then quickly dismissed so as to keep praising the game.

There's just something wrong with our culture in general. Reviews shouldn't use numerical scores, and reviews shouldn't come out even before the game does. It would make more sense if reviewers didn't start coming out until after a few weeks, when they've actually had time to play the game and fully experience it, instead of just going off hype and first impressions.

I don't really know where this dishonesty comes from, is it personal bias, industry pressure, or maybe some other aspects we are not aware of. But regardless, it's dishonesty all the same.
The main reason consumers like us take the time to read reviews is because we don't want to pay money for something we may not enjoy. More and more game companies these days are shying away from handing out demos so consumers need reviewers even more. Especially when it comes to large purchases like BOTW, where many of us would need to purchase the console along with the game.

I wouldn't want a movie, book, game or album to be broken down like that. Standardized testing might be useful for a school board in allocating funds, but that's because it's everyone's money. I will roll the dice with my own money on something vastly less important based on less objective measures.

I would rather just do away with scores completely. I'd also like it if game critics were equipped to write about design. I mostly want to know if a game is made with quality, care and thoughtfulness, which being absent from games journalism, games journalists are unequipped to remark on.
>>
>>8158599
If they do use numerical scores, they should disclose their methodology of how they calculated said score.
Nowadays what we get the same thing politicians tell us: studies show bla bla bla.. no citations nothing. It's fucking retarded how these cunts can be called journalists.
>>
>>8158593
You aren't wrong, but that doesn't make the game a 6/10. He's shitting on it because it isn't the end all be all even though it's executed way better than a lot of other open world games.
>>
>>8158562
Exactly this. How can a single game get so many 10/10's when it has such glaring issues from Day 1?
Things like lack of enemy variety, durability, lack of dungeons, bosses, items etc. Overworld objects popping in. Issues which are evidently there and are NOT up for debate.
This doesn't mean the games bad in anyway, reviews giving 7/8/9, yeah i could see some getting away with that. But 10/10 on a game so evidently not perfect and with such obvious issues? Fuck off.
>>
>>8158607
Obviously its comparing it to all the other SHIT games.
>>
>>8158606
You aren't wrong either. But it also doesn't make the game a 100 which are what over 50 professional critics reviewed the game gave it.
>>
I feel like there's a disagreement on what reviews should be. Some people think they should be "should I buy this game or not"? Others think reviews should be "how does this game hold up to critical analysis, and/or what power emotions or experiences does it inspire within us?"
>>
>>8158608
Other shit in 10/10 games? Then those games shouldn't be 10/10 either. If they're below 10, then why compare them.

Are you genuinely retarded?
>>
>>8158614
Ah yes, "Reused OoT Assets: The Game, Special Sidequest Edition"!

In all seriousness I love MM but it wasn't as groundbreaking as OoT. It just reused all the assets and gave it a deeper story and more sidequests.
>>
>>8158617
Yeah, it reused assets and perfected Zelda on the 64
>>
>>8158616
Are you? 10/10 is literally the highest possible score you can give something. If it's not perfect, then what the fuck do you rate a theoretically perfect game?
>>
>>8158616
It means near perfection, or a masterpiece. A game with glaring obvious flaws is not a 10/10.

And try looking at the image, it says "100" which does imply perfect. 10/10 is too arbitary. But 100 is too precise to not be anyhting but perfect. Retard.
>>
>>8158618
Perfected it in what way? The story was better, but it lacked dungeons in favor of a ton of sidequests that not everyone liked. Sure it had fantastic dungeons like Stone Tower and Great Bay, but only having 4 major dungeons
>cough BotW cough
is not enough for a mainline Zelda game, in MY opinion.

Anon. 10/10 and 100% is the same fucking thing.

So if a game gets 98 what score does it get? 9/10 or 10/10?

>>
>>8158626
Not that anon, but not quite. Assuming they don't use decimal places, a 10/10 could simply be them rounding a 9.5+ game up to 10. A 100/100 does not leave that sort of ambiguity.

>>8158621
Well, that's the thing, it got the sidequest thing pretty good, and I liked that aspect, I like games that have a lot of optional content with a medium long main storyline, you had to do a lot of stuff outside of dungeons to even enter them to begin with, like the pirate fortress/zora eggs/Ikana canyon and so on.

>>8158625
Well I guess I can agree on that, but I want to say that MM had a lot better atmosphere and pretty much nailed it

It could happen, if those reviewers are so damn hypocritical on saying what is bad for BotW but somehow goty for HZD. If Link was a girl, I am absolutely certain it would instantly become a 10/10 for them.

So is The Room, doesnt mean the movie is generally well met. Just has a small fan base.

My point still stand that reviews are as valid as the love you have for a reviewers taste in game. Jim review is fair if you are a fedora tipping autismonazo, or you are a contrarian at heart who hates zelda (seriously, I havent seen a single person irl hate this game).
If not, than most chances are that you will enjoy the game quite a lot because a lot of people with different taste think it was incredibly fun.

Even if you dislike Nintendo and Zelda the game is at least an 8/10
Kinda funny how all these negative reviews are coming out now that it's the top rated game on metacritic.

Almost like they are trying to get clicks for ads or something.

They really should have skipped out on voice acting alltogether, although I heard the Japanese voice acting is decent, but you will have to wait for Cemu to make BotW playable before we can experience that.

Idgaf who you are, this game is a fucking 8 or 8.5. If it didn't have performance issues and minor glarely flaws, it would be a 9 or 9.5.

Anyone that's been playing it for more than a week every day would know that unless you are just that biased. The games good for sure but the 10/10 praise its been getting is total bullshit. It's as if reviewers got used to the constant trash games being released over the last few years and finally found one that they could sink hours into easily. The games mechanics and design choices make it easy for you to end up playing for hours a day while feeling you still haven't even scratched the surface.

When you take a step back and assess the game you realize there is some repetition to it.

For those of you who give the game a perfect 10, what honestly makes it a masterpiece? Serious question, I want to see how everyone views the game.

Give me YOUR reasons why it's a 10. I want your opinion.
>>
>>8158822

If anything, having voice acting is the sign OF a casual game. It shows that Nintendo tried way too hard to make the game "cinematic". And considering they capped the game at 20 FPS to maintain that movie-like feel, the game makes Uncharted look like a masterpiece.

Well what your complaining about is called dialogue. And it's mostly used in Shantae for humorous character interactions. Not for the advancement of any kind of elaborate plot. While the beginning of the games are pretty dialogue heavy it really thins out when you're out of Scuttle Town. It's kind of a part of the games that people like the series for, since there's not really anything special about the gameplay.

But if you aren't into that cheesy brand of humor Shantae is all about then I can see you not liking the series and that's perfectly understandable. But it doesn't make sense to call the games cinematic or story heavy when the plot of each game could be summed up in a couple sentences.

The review scale is fucked. for me the game is about a 9, but for the videogame industry as a whole, sub 6 means unplayable, 6 means shit, 7 means bad, 8 means playable, 9 means good, and 10 means great.

Either way a 7 is a contrarian score doesn't make sense in the current context. A lot of the issues he brings up like weapon durability are gameplay mechanics that increase the longevity and exploration aspect of the game.

If he scored the game a 3 on a 5 point scale it would literally make more sense than the 7 he gave it, as 5 point scales are not treated the same way by the industry. His concerns would also be much more legitimate if he didn't give HZD a 9, which is a good game as well, but not objectively 2 letter grades higher than zelda.


Jim wants clicks, and he's getting more traffic now than hes ever gotten because of his shit.
>>
>>8158591

Should a score for a game even exist? I believe reviews should be fundamental in their purpose on a more "should you buy this game?" basis, because for everyday consumers and the people reading the review, that's all the information they need to gather anyway. Scores are just there for clicks and hype, usually damaging the product in one way or another.

There isn't a lack of gameplay in Shantae. The gameplay that's there is just very plain platforming but it serves its purpose and is functional. It's not like its cut scenes connected with quick time events.

Like cmon, my number 1 game in my lifetime so far was OOT. I played that shit when it came out and I was like 5. I was a kid so the game seemed fucking amazing. I completely forgot about the game since I was flooded with other games and the fact that the n64 was borrowed by my cousin. They pretty much traded their ps1 to their neighbor for a good few weeks. I was lucky enough to have a big family and always had access to the latest and greatest titles back then. Point is, I forgot about the game until many years later when I learned about emulators. I legit got teary eyed from the Nostalgia I had. Played the game and beat it in a few weeks and loved it.

Anyway, that whole post amounts to me holding the Zelda series in high regards. I don't care what games come out, OOT will forever be my number 1 easily.
BOTW however just doesn't feel like a 10/10. Maybe if the hardware was more powerful and a few design choices were made better... Then I think I could agree on a 10 or at least a 9.5.

Oh, I didn't even see the guys review.

But the review score system is literally the same as the school one. Below 6 is failing. Either your game is broken, boring or unfinished. 6 is like barely passing, borderline failing. 7 is mediocre/average. 8 is good. 9 is excellent, amazing or great. 10 is pretty much a perfect score across the board. Gameplay, story, all that shit that goes into making a game. The game gets all checks for everything.
So yea, I'm sticking by my 8. Idk if by the time I decide to go face Ganon my score will change. I might give it an 8.5 simply because this game made me waste hours everyday playing it but a 10 for BOTW is just pure bs.

Well, Dragon quest is an RPG, so it's not even a game to begin with, unless you're speaking in the barest sense of the word.

My rule is this: If your game isn't interesting after I rip out everything but the gameplay, then it's not a good game.

That's just me, everyone should have that 1 game that's just number 1 to them regardless of what others think. What's yours?

Harsh words. Why do you call it "shit"? Is it because I'm not hyping the latest AAA disaster from Sony? Is it because I praise games that don't have enough sex and realism and violence? You should know me by now, I'm a purist for gameplay, and if I don't think your game can survive without these crutches, then we're gonna have a problem.

And would Dungeons and Dragons be interesting in any way if the players weren't actually playing it? Imagine the dungeonmaster just telling you everything about the game, but never letting the players make decisions, or roll the dice, or even make their own characters.

the point of a role playing game is to PLAY a role, not watch the game play itself. But tell that to any modern RPG that decides that it wants to be "art", or a game like Shantae where the story is considered a necessity to give us a break from that "problematic videogamey content" as most Shantae fans refer it to.

Maybe do some research on autism and realize why people tend to have a problem 2ith it? Once again you're assuming this is about opinions.

>more autistic rambling that constantly misses the point
You said "RPGs aren't games", not just "Dragon Quest isn't a game" (which it is since there's plenty of exploration, customizing and combat) or "modern RPGs aren't games" (in which case are you unironically telling me Dark Souls isn't a game?) or "Bioware games aren't games" (just because they're terrible doesn't mean they aren't games). Own up to your bullshit.
