Why? It's 90+

Oh that's interesting, thought Phantom Hourglass scored less than 90. I'm going big though, it's going to get 97!

 

[CEJames]

The Rage will be real if it gets below 90.

 

[DigSCCP]

Wow people around here seems pretty confident with the possibility of a 95+ score.
89 just for the meltdowns lol

 

[Octavianus]

Reviews will come lower thanmost people think. The critics are biased against nintendo in general...

So, 87?

 

[Aarglefarg]

The new issue of Edge unlocked on Google Play for me.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Reviews will come lower more thanmost people think. The critics are biased against nintendo in general...

reviews have become more harsh but it's not because they're "biased against nintendo", it's because people are more cautious in awarding very high scores, and are now less afraid to be outside what gamers perceive to be "acceptable" reviews for games they want to be good.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Does the German GamePro score of 94 not count? I believe we had a thread about that.

it's on there though?

Already reading some great posts on the neogaf.com right now.

 

[Gurish]

People here really do care about that metacritic score huh.

Welcome to GAF.

I have heard opposite as well around here

 

[Baroquemantic]

Every Zelda game outside of the spinoffs is a 90+.

I will fight anyone who disagrees. Physically.

I disagree.

Spoiler

Come at me lol

 

[1st Course]

Expecting 95+ meta

 

[TheMagician]

I wouldn't worry too much about the MC score.

We're in an era where people low ball some big releases just for the attention it brings them.

I know opinions will sometimes differ but it's always easy to pin point the ones who want their 5 minutes of fame.

[1.21Gigawatts]

7/10 "Didn't put an end to the rise of right wing populism in Europe."


I expect a 95 mc average with the odd 7/10 review with weird expectations and criticism.

 

[random25]

it's on there though?

Oh yeah just saw that. I was focused on that EDGE graphic that I thought it was missed.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Hi everyone.

Hi

Spoiler

[Nickle]

The salt is going to be real. If it scores above 90 people are going to whine, and if it scores below 94-95 people are going to whine.

 

[Majine]

Is the embargo up in 43 minutes? Giant Bomb is posting their Quick Look then.

 

[Octavianus]

Welcome to GAF.

I know but it always weirds me out. Every time.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

It's the exact opposite with Zelda though

 

[ajjow]

Its a fact. I'll eat crown if this get higher than 9. Expecting 85 at most.

 

[Charles Brandon]

can we bet on this somewhere?

Its a fact. I'll eat crown if this get higher than 9. Expecting 85 at most.

sounds spiky

 

[DeanBDean]

I think it's reasonable to suspect that if it's under 96 Metacritic that Nintendo will sue all the devs for their wages

 

[SomedayTheFire]

More like 'Link isn't female 2/10'

Can we not have this nonsense here.

 

[The Last One]

I'm guessing 88-90 MC

 

[daxy]

The salt is going to be real. If it scores above 90 people are going to whine, and if it scores below 94-95 people are going to whine.

You were dead on when you posted this in the preview thread:

0-92 Metacritic = Garbage
93 = Crushing Disappointment
94 = Mild Disappointment
95 = Neat
96 = Aww yeah
97 = Nut
98 = Internal screaming
99 = Not going to happen

 

[Altairre]

That feeling when you're having a blast with Horizon Zero Dawn but already know you're going to have to pause playing it for two months -_-.

To be honest I'm invested enough in the story, world and characters of Horizon that I want to finish that first. After all these years I'm really in no rush to play Zelda. All signs point to it being a fantastic game and it's always nice to have something to look forward to.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

a more interesting question is what the lowest score will be
im guessing a 75 outlier

 

[Frodo]

10/10 on EDGE

and

40/40 on Famitsu

 

[gcncontroller]

I'm so excited I can't sleep. Hold me GAF.

My bet's on 94 MC!

 

[Blobbers]

After the preview thread, the spoiler-free impressions thread and the reviews we know about I'm feeling a 97 MC

 

[Milennia]

Safe with my 92+

If it gets 95+ ill have pizza for breakfast today

 

[Garrett Hawke]

10/10 on EDGE

and

40/40 on Famitsu

famitsu sis...

 

[ckaneo]

7/10. Horizon is better

 

[EmiPrime]

95+ on OpenCritic, undisputed GOTY.

 

[Kiru]

Its a fact. I'll eat crown if this get higher than 9. Expecting 85 at most.

That's way too low for a mainline console Zelda...

 

[Fredrik]

10 and 9 incoming! And certainly some fucking clickbait 6.5! Glorious day!

Mostly 9s, some 8s and 7.7 at IGN for clicks is my guess.
Metacritic 87. Hoping for more though!

 

[CEJames]

Welcome to GAF.

 

[Zalman]

I don't really care about Metacritic but predicting is fun. 93.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I'm preemptively gonna stealth call-out en-masse the people who are sleeping that are subconsciously hoping it scores better than Horizon in the morning.

Don't do that.

 

[unrenowned]

There's no way it'll drop below 90, 92-93 is my guess.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I don't really care about Metacritic but predicting is fun. 93.

Yeah, I feel the same.
Even about that prediction.

 

[Vampirolol]

Who will be brave enough to give this 7/10? Dualshockers? Gamekult?

 

[SuperSah]

79 MC


DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

 

[Blobbers]

If this doesn't go above a 95+ Nintendo seriously needs to consider going third-party. Enough is enough.

 

[PancakeBurglar]

This will be a fun thread one way or another, gonna predict a 95 average.

 

[Ocarina_117]

99.

 

[CrazyHorse]

Reviews will come lower thanmost people think. The critics are biased against nintendo in general...

Yes but even a few 10s from the big ones (IGN, Gamespot etc) will be good.

 

[terrible]

I'll go with a 95 MC for my guess I think. All the previews have been overwhelmingly positive and Zelda reviews well in general already.

This is going to be good.
