Guys when people say "the majority" or "the minority", they aren't forcefully including you in either group. You don't have to counter that claim just because you like x or don't like x. It's fine to like/not like something or to like it more/less than others. But we don't have to turn the topic around just because someone disagrees.

It's an opinion. It's not gospel truth or whatever it's called.

 

[FlibbertiGibbet]

I agree. BotW destroys TP.

I think TP is better.

It has more energy, personality, and innovation than BotW.

EDGE 10/10 Games so far.

Super Mario 64 (1996)
Gran Turismo (1997)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)
Half-Life 2 (2004)
Halo 3 (2007)
The Orange Box (2007)
Super Mario Galaxy (2007)

Bayonetta (2009)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010)

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
Bayonetta 2 (2014)
Bloodborne (2015)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)
Super Mario Odyssey (2017)

IMO bolded are the only genuine breakout genius games, or game changers. I haven't played Bloodborne or Odyssey so no comment on them.

Some seriously stupid entries on the list. Skyward Sword? Halo 3? Bayonetta 2? Good games but just iterative sequels. Orange Box's high scores were also always stupid, it was a great value compilation, but the individual games are what should have been rated, you shouldn't be able to get a 10 just for good dollar value.

 

[Lingitiz]

It's a hunting game where there's monsters and creatures every five steps. I got so sick and exhausted fighting the same robots again and again and each new robot seemed to be a slightly different version of an earlier robot. I gave up about halfway through because I got seriously bored with the combat, the world was so uninteresting considering the lore and the story wasn't doing it for me.

Man yeah I forgot how much this bothered me while playing the game. The map was simply plastered with way too many enemies, so it made encounters feel less unique and a bit too common. That's what kind of made it feel less like a hunting game and more like a standard open world action game.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Which was a 10/10 to most people here.

Skyward Sword was not a 10/10 for most people here or anywhere.

Even people who love it aren't going to say it's a flawless game.

 

[BY2K]

Agreed.

TP > BOTW

Ok what the fuck...

 

[Heartskips]

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

 

[N7 MRP Weasel]

Oh please, do you really need to go into pre-emptive defense mode?

Just celebrate what will almost certainly be a great game.

Pre-emptive defensive mode... Dang well shit that's something

I just got a switch almost a month ago for Mario and it came with Zelda, I'm not trying to say or do anything in regards to a stance i may have concerning video games, i was just making a point about how review threads usually go, the whole no fun allowed thing that plagues neogaf

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

It’s rather ridiculous to me that no portable game has received a ten from them.

 

[FloweryMarston]

"the majority thinks this"

"WELL NOT ME"


??????????

 

[Neoweee]

It’s rather ridiculous to me that no portable game has received a ten from them.

They review virtually none of them.

 

[CharminUltra]

It’s rather ridiculous to me that no portable game has received a ten from them.

Idk how old Edge is exactly, but maybe they weren't around for GameBoy Tetris?

 

[FloweryMarston]

super mario odyssey and botw =P

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey!

EDIT: Dammit Honorio

 

[Uno Venova]

Ok what the fuck...

well..

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

He beat me to it.

 

[FlibbertiGibbet]

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

Agree 100%

 

[Neptonic]

Agreed.

TP > BOTW

Jeff Gerstmann was being generous with an 8.8 for TP

 

[phanphare]

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

man some of those dungeons were so fucking good

some great boss fights as well

I don't really see why 10/10 scores have to only be given to games that have brand new concepts. A good game is a good game regardless of whether it's iterative or not. Also, wasn't GT pretty revolutionary at the time?

 

[Conkerkid11]

Skyward Sword was not a 10/10 for most people here or anywhere.

10/10 doesn't mean flawless.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

always interesting seeing what various people value in Zelda games, for me, Breath of the Wild's world alone beats all the other 3D Zelda games but Majora's Mask. Just goes to show that there's something for nearly everyone in the series!

 

[AlexFlame116]

always interesting seeing what various people value in Zelda games, for me, Breath of the Wild's world alone single beats all the other 3D Zelda games but Majora's Mask. Just goes to show that there's something for nearly everyone in the series!

Spoiler

I agree 100 percent.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Yea twilight princess is the best, you guys are totally missing out

 

[Forkball]

Skyward Sword has the best Link amiibo. These are facts.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Here we go again folks.

 

[Uno Venova]

The Zelda cycle is more fun than the Kanye cycle at least.

 

[Jagsrock]

Agreed, exploring Hyrule in it's full capacity is a dream come true. The world itself is like it's own dungeon, and all the shrines satisfied the puzzler in me. As much as I liked the dungeons in tp, The open air concept in botw blows it away for me.

 

[superdeluxe]

So Mario.. GOTY, GOTG or GOAT?

 

[HotHamBoy]

10/10 doesn't mean flawless.

What does it mean?

Because I can think of a lot of 9/10 games that might as well be 10/10 if Skyward Sword is.

 

[Cipherr]

Wow, the salt is ridiculous. Most haven't even played this yet, and this franchise is known for its greatness. This isn't difficult to believe tbh.

 

[Wildo09]

It’s rather ridiculous to me that no portable game has received a ten from them.

It's a trend on every major publication to underappreciate portable games. If the press were fair, they would have given tens to games like Chinatown Wars instead of GTA IV and to the Phoenix Wright series instead of the Walking Dead.

 

[Yukinari]

TP dungeons alone beat BOTW.

If there was a way for me to skip the prologue of TP and most of the filler then id agree a lot more.

I do think the dungeons destroy BoTW though.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

I think TP is better.

It has more energy, personality, and innovation than BotW.

You can like Twilight Princess but come on son that's just untrue.

 

[AlexFlame116]

What does it mean?

Because I can think of a lot of 9/10 games that might as well be 10/10 if Skyward Sword is.

Come on man it's just a magazine group. Their opinion of a game being a 10 doesn't mean that it has to fit your 10.

I thought NieR deserved more than just a 6 while others thought otherwise. That doesn't mean that they are wrong.

 

[sinonobu]

I think TP is better.

It has more energy, personality, and innovation than BotW.

Did we play the same game?

Because I don't remember TP having any of those.

 

[Flying Fish]

BOTW has the worst dungeons of the 3D Zelda's yet it's still a fantastic game.

 

[Sygma]

I like WW way more than BOTW(and MM too)

Much better dungeons and way more charming.

Has better characters too

TP was garbage

 

[Star Orpheus]

The only reason I remember anything about TP is because Midna is in it. If it wasn't for her it would go in the same pile as the DS titles for me.

 

[Boke1879]

Real talk. What the hell is even going on right now?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Hey Mario is pretty cool! Did you know he has a crush on Peach?

 

[_Clash_]

Far out.

How do they keep doing it.

The best in the business

hype for Mario up

 

[Sygma]

The only reason I remember anything about TP is because Midna is in it. If it wasn't for her it would go in the same pile as the DS titles for me.

Yeah I stopped when reaching the mansion in the snow or w/e it was, after the snowboarding bit. one of the very rare Zelda that I've never finished

Otherwise, Mario hype. It looked and played amazing back then at the japan expo and they kept refining it since, can't wait. Gonna be wolfenstein 2 playthrough before tho

 

[Flying Fish]

Hey Mario is pretty cool! Did you know he has a crush on Peach?

That's Canon?

Edge #304 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild special: Remastered Edition

 

[Telephone Man]

Fun to see so many are debating on which Zelda is better now.

Spoiler

Everything between WW and ALBW overall sucked.

 

[NegativeCero]

I can't wait until this game's version of 8.8. I'm so ready to play this. First Nintendo console I've had since the GameCube.

 

[higgsboson1997]

Has better characters too

TP was garbage

WW is the worst Zelda for me simply because it has the most boring way of traveling from one location to the next.

One of the best facets of BOTW for me is the variety of options for traversing the world it offers.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

The Zelda cycle is more fun than the Kanye cycle at least.

A Conor McGregor cycle would be cool.

 

[SirPenguin]

It has more energy, personality, and innovation than BotW.

this is an insane position to take

innovation? Twilight Princess was the start of the "Zelda is stale and needs a shakeup" movement

Everyone talks about the dungeons. Sure. But what's the first one you think of? I know the answer - it's that snow mansion.

But why did you think of it? Because it's a novel take on dungeons. It mixed things up, and it didn't even feel like a dungeon for most of it. The puzzles and other dungeon-y elements took second seat to exploring a cool, lived-in space

Now take that concept and make an entire game out of it. You get Breath of the Wild

 

[Shaanyboi]

I think TP is better.

It has more energy, personality, and innovation than BotW.

There is almost nothing innovative about TP. It's an insanely restrictive and drawn-out redux of OOT.
