Will this be the first 100/100 game on Metacritic?
>>376320939
nope
>>376320939
Depends how much money Nintendo is willing to part with
>>376320939
I'm expecting at least 96
Mainline Mario games are the only series I can think of with this great of a track record. Going all the way back to 1985, the worst one was Sunshine and even that was an 8.5/10
>>376321067
I see people say Nintendo pay for good reviews but is there actual evidence behind this?
>>376320939
Yo mario, we herd you like to see so we put eyes on yo hat so you can see while you see
>>376321180
Of course not, it's just shitposting
nah, even if it deserves it, literal who reviewers will give it a low score as click bait. It's literally impossible to get a 100 today
Nope. Reviewers will give it shit reviews for exposure and to boost their "brand"
See Jim Sterling.
No game will ever be 100/100 on metacritic as long as people like Jim Cuckling and Slant exist
>>376321180
They do manipulate it by giving them games earlier which attracts people, and if they give them a bad score they stop sending them shit. And if they actually deserve it people will assume this first.

I've only heard of Bethesda not sending out games early to reviewers, has there been any case of Nintendo doing it? Reviewers are usually really vocal if they think publishers are trying to manipulate scores.
>>376320939
you just know the fat fuck will give it a 6/10 or some shit
Protip, there has never been a mainline Mario game with an aggregate score of less than 90/100. Almost all of them have been universally praised. Odyssey is going to be Mario 64 redux so it'll get 100/100 easily.
>>376322629
Even if nintendo doesn't, reviewers are afraid it will happen
>>376322889
But every publisher sends out games early, why are reviewers worried about giving Nintnedo low reviews but not anyone else?
>>376320939
Nintendo games are rated on a lower standard. What is a 10 to a Nintendo is a 7 on other systems.
>>376320939
It will score lower than Zelda. Somehow people are really upset about the whole Mario-in-real-life thing.
>>376320939
Nintendo will manage to fuck it up and casualize it. Still, it will sell like gangbusters. I say 90-95.
>>376321076
Sunshine got 92 on Metacritic (user reviews are 8.6, if you're going to go by user reviews, BOTW did worse than Sunshine did).
>>376324028
>Nintendo will manage to fuck it up and casualize it.
how
literally Miyamoto admitted twice that he made Course Clear 3D Mario casual as fuck due to the Wii generation and Sunshine was pretty difficult for a typical Mario player
clearly Odyssey will rebuild that wall once again for Sandbox 3D

BORN DIFFERENT
>>376324309
that's pretty generous though. the only people who cared about w101 were desperate wii u owners who way overrated it.
no, back when OoT was released gaming sites werent relevant, and since magazines had to sell, they couldnt rely on clickbait by giving hyped up games bad reviews
nowadays it takes 1 literal who giving a game a bad score for ad revenue to take the score
>>376324443
this, some of the people that reviewed zelda I had never heard of before the game released and I read reviews all the time
>>376324309
>implying platshit titles are worthy for 9/10s
>>376321061
This makes me angry and I know that's what he wants.
Nah, if BoTW and Galaxy could only score 97s, then so will this. If it gets even a 98 a few days after launch I'd be shocked.
