[aravuus]

People here really do care about that metacritic score huh.

People are weird.

 

[Fredrik]

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

Definitely Dualshockers judging by their preview and IGN too obviously.

 

[massoluk]

Variety

"Nintendo should leave open world genre to other console."

Hey, they used this kind of excuse for Super Mario Galaxy

 

[Jaysc]

Gotta say I'm loving the thread images! Good work!

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

How many hours before the embargo lifts?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Definitely Dualshockers judging by their preview and IGN too obviously.

isn't the dualshockers reviewer not the guy that did that comment.

How many hours before the embargo lifts?

35 minutes.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

It's going to be 95 without trying.

 

[ChasingComets]

It Begins.

94.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

"any review that I don't agree with is CLICKBAIT and FAKE NEWS"

 

[heringer]

Guessing 92.

 

[Dystify]

How many hours before the embargo lifts?

0.58 hours.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

It's going to be 95 without trying.

Yeah, 95+ is my prediction.

 

[ckaneo]

Legend of Zelda 10

Aonuma said it himself. This game is unplayable.

 

[Vampirolol]

"any review that I don't agree with is CLICKBAIT and FAKE NEWS"

Also "SAD!"

 

[CassSept]

With how positive even the Polygon preview was I wouldn't be that surprised if it hits 95. So that's my guess.

 

[KLoWn]

So close!

[BitStyle]

Swooping in to predict a 94 MC

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Also "SAD!"

"we didn't just hit 95 - we hit 95 with the most 10s ever awarded to a game. ever"

 

[ReplacementPelican]

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

What world are you living in?

"we didn't just hit 95 - we hit 95 with the most 10s ever awarded to a game. ever"

'If you ignore all the fake reviews we got 100 on meta critic. That doesn't happen. Just us. They wont tell you that though.'

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Aonuma said it himself. This game is unplayable.

Aonuma's senile.
Miyamoto trumps him.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

35 minutes.

Cheers!

 

[jrush64]

86

 

[brandonh83]

Aonuma said it himself. This game is unplayable.

You know it's funny because I can load it up, play it, and beat it perfectly fine.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Why are people predicting less than 90 ?

 

[Frodo]

famitsu sis...

I know, but it is worth mentioning because everyone was like "as good as Nintendogs" (as expected and understandably so, but...). Then people went on "and EDGE 10/10 review is worth a billion Famitsu's 40/40" There it is.

 

[-shadow-]

 

[Jonneh3003]

Aonuma said it himself. This game is unplayable.

Not sure if troll, I played it a few days ago and still love it.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

You know it's funny because I can load it up, play it, and beat it perfectly fine.

Hated it so much, he commissioned a perfect prototype of zelda 1 as breath of the wild to even play it

 

[GGNKovalski]

I don't think there is anyway this will score lower than a 90 BUT I would really love to peer into an alternative universe where this gets a 87 and watch the chaos in this thread.

 

[DecoReturns]

In the end. Mario Odyssey will be get a higher score.

 

[The Last One]

The Rage will be real if it gets below 90.

People are out of their minds if they think this game is gonna 90+ MC.

Lots of websites don't usually tolerate technical flaws, and this seems to be the only (and big) problem of BotW.

I can easily see a grand amount of 8.x

 

[Otakumegane]

What score is needed to make it the most highly reviewed 8th gen console exclusive.

Didn't Uncharted and SM3DW hit 93?

 

[fantomena]

Im very eager to buy the WIi U version, but hopefully the reviews will be good and they will state what's bad about the Wii U version.

 

[ckaneo]

You know it's funny because I can load it up, play it, and beat it perfectly fine.

Lies.

 

[RossoneR]

99.

Game ll have 100 reviews, this isnt OoT with 20 reviews.
Im going with 94. There ll be few clickbait/too harsh reviews like always.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I know, but it is worth mentioning because everyone was like "as good as Nintendogs" (as expected and understandably so, but...)

to be fair, nintendogs CAME

What world are you living in?


'If you ignore all the fake reviews we got 100 on meta critic. That doesn't happen. Just us. They wont tell you that though.'

okay this one got me good lol

 

[daxy]

I don't think there is anyway this will score lower than a 90 BUT I would really love to peer into an alternative universe where this gets a 87 and watch the chaos in this thread.

Didn't you read the CERN thread? We've clearly already been displaced into the worst timeline.

 

[ionitron]

Knew I had a reason to wake up at 5 in the morning. Wasn't because of homework, nope.

 

[Kolx]

Anyone expecting this to go below 92 is insane.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Here we go baby, don't have a clue what it will fall at so I'll just enjoy my popcorn.

 

[Jonneh3003]

In the end. Mario Odyssey will be get a higher score.

You're probably right but let's see what happens. Magic falls in half an hour.

 

[AGoodODST]

Any other leaked reviews since the Kotaku one?

 

[Prithee Be Careful]

I'm expecting low-to-mid 90's. When it comes to Zelda, reviewers always overshoot.

Skyward Sword got a 93 I think and it was only 'good' at best. I should have clearly been docked for the swallow-the-spider-to-catch-the-fly quest design, lack of narrative and the lacklustre reuse of the same three small areas.

But it was Zelda, so it was 'a masterpiece' instead. Same happens with Uncharted, for some reason. A well-polished shooter, with great presentation values and all the depth of a car-park puddle. If not for the Washington Post U4 would have netted a 94, which I really find hard to justify...

 

[Coffinhal]

This is not a review thread but a metascore thread. Let's not use the wrong words, few people discuss what is in the reviews, even after they came out, it's just about arguing whether the number is worth what you expected to have without playing the game. Definition of emptiness.

 

[kyo2004]

Today will be a nightmare thinking about BotW at work site... So much hype for this game for a lot of time since that E3 reveal...

BTW, 96 MC it's my guess...

 

[sasliquid]

Gonna go with a 95 on metacritic, and an inevitable backlash by this time next year

 

[Frodo]

to be fair, nintendogs CAME

Nintendogs was a great game for what it proposed to do. But of course, as you don't shoot anything, and as it wasn't grey and brown and you didn't develop strong emotional connection with the characters (debatable point, btw) TEH HARDCORE!!!!1 was insulted anyone could actually like it and actually review it as high as they did. Hence the outrage.

 

[ckaneo]

Are you sure? it seems to me that people care so little about technical flaws, game developers keep releasing games without fixing them and promising to patch later.

Bloodborne and the Withcher, both GAF darlings werent without technical flaws...

Dont get me started on the mess that was Skyrim
