Like the best Zelda ever? I'd be delighted.
This is a neat perspective to hear.

Bullshit. If that was true that game would've won GAF's 2011 GOTY Award and it didnt. I still cant believe that that game got a 10 in many places. It stands for everything opposite to what BotW ended up doing that made it such a critical and commercial success to the likes SS never had a chance.

In the shadow of BOTW, few Zelda games survive. Zelda 1, LTTP, OOT / Majora, Wind Waker are the only ones that even come close to surviving IMO.

Holy shit you're right, 6 years ago they gave a 10 to a game that didn't deserve it to most people, pack it up folks, nothing to see here, we can ignore any and every 10 this publication gives out for the rest of time. I guess we'll have to rely on publications that have only ever given 10's to games that the majority agrees deserve it, shouldn't be too hard to find one of those!
Keep fighting the good fight Yoshi. Though it's not my favorite, it's on the shortlist for top-tier Zeldas
Perhaps you think we should disregard the 10s for The Last Of Us and Bloodbourne too, right?

All those games deserved their 10/10
So hyped for Mario, I'm expecting huge things 👀

Similar number of moon stars to Korok seeds.
You can just call them moons, unless I missed something and they are actually called moon stars.

come on guys no need to be so tense ��
what I meant but this kind of (clumsy I admit) post is that a 10 can mean anything and could be a really unpopular opinion on the long run. I like Skyward Sword too but let's not forget it disappointed a lot of people and the same could happen for Odyssey which I hope it's not the case.

2 weeks from Friday, yes
Two perfect games from Nintendo in one year, but Gaf's GOTY will still be Horizon. BotW and Odyssey will split the votes of Nintendo gamers but rest will vote for Horizon. No idea what PC crowd could crown as GOTY.
As a person who played both (Zelda & Horizon): Horizon is not even on my current top 10 2017 list.

that was fast, thought the review code just went out 1-2 days ago? guess they got theirs earlier.
either way, insane hype. 90% of their 10/10s have been well deserved, and from everything I've seen about this game, it screams quality and fun.
I'm pretty impressed that you've missed the multitude of PUBG threads and posts

This list is impressive. EDGE has great 10 picks overall.
All this tells me is that we should do Alternative vote

Opinions and all but...Jesus. I hate Skyward with a passion.
Link's Awakening DX still the GOAT

Haven't been paying attention to not spoil myself.... but I hear there is something like Kirin seeds in this that we collect. Is this gonna be a more bloated open Mario?
The moons? They are this games power stars/shine sprites.

Not a bad start, I might keep my preorder.
I wonder how close to Zelda's 97 score this will end up. In any case what an amazing year for Nintendo this is turning out to be.

I'd argue the motion controls don't need to be "dealt" with at all. They're great.

I'm actually betting it'll wind up higher, if only because BotW had some very divisive issues that we heard about pre-release (weapons breaking, little story, 4 dungeons) and we haven't heard anything at all similar about Odyssey.
I'm very curious about the negatives that reviewers will focus on, and if there will be large sticking points that many reviewers complain about. Because so far there's nothing I can think of that might fit that.
Aside from the games that I haven't played on that list (Bayonetta), I can't disagree with it. I'm telling you folks, now that switches are actually on shelves you should grab one now before the holiday's hit.

I'd be with you - it wasn't the controls that killed it for me. It was the insane repetitive bullshit at the end where I was forced to walk through the same environments 2-3x in order to finish that dropped it way down for me.
I'll also give a nod to tadtones, as I have several friends that wanted to kill themselves after that while trying to play the game. Again, I don't feel the same but there were enough complaints where the discussion was warranted.
When you look at BOTW though - any complaints are outside of gameplay typically. Story depth / dungeon depth / construction. All valid complaints but the core of the game is so good they are nothing to me, at least.
The trilogy of Galaxy 1, Galaxy 2 and 3D World is one of the best examples of nearly flawless video gaming, in my opinion.
In fact, I was originally a bit worried that being more open would cause Odyssey to lack the tight gameplay and platforming of those games. But my fears have been alleviated a bit after seeing more footage, like what we saw at the Nintendo World Championship.
... Also, I just played it an hour ago and it feels fantastic.
yeah no amount of backlash will keep skyward sword from being a great game
some of the best dungeons in the series, enemy encounters were great because of the motion controls, the overworld being dungeon-like was really cool, the story and presentation was amazing, yeah. great game. so many feels towards the end. I don't care how annoying the pop up stuff was with Fi she was a great character in terms of the story.
pretty done

It was extremely tedious though. I struggled to finish the game, it's definitely a weak entry and should no way get 10s.
I don't read reviews for flagship Nintendo games, especially Mario, what's the point I know it's going to be great.
Ain't that the truth.
I believe the 10 was more for the tools and freedom than the rather mediocre game that came with it
We both agree on this, mate. The backtracking quests near the end game were shit, I didn't like those at all.
However I still loved the overall experience in the end, while these quest were not enjoyable to me, they didn't deter my opinion on the game. I felt fulfilled when I reached the credits.
