What's with all the Hate towards edge because they gave skyward sword a 10? Most reviews of that game were that high

 

[SinCityAssassin]

They gave Skyward Sword a 10. It's just brand name at the end of the day.

I agree, Halo 1 is trash.

 

[funkystudent]

Skyward Sword got a 10 as well huh?

.... well then.

 

[cw_sasuke]

It's just low-level trolling.

Yo, no need to take these attempt serious... Will happen a bunch over the next couple days.

 

[skypunch]

You can bet on Super Mario Odyssey joining the 10 club.

And Xenoblade 2.

 

[oti]

Skyward Sword is a 10.

 

[Bubble Walrus]

We have it so good these days. Happy for Horizon but it's going to just have to wait, I'm afraid...

 

[Kissenkopf]

They gave Skyward Sword a 10. It's just brand name at the end of the day.

Sure. Lol. Thats the reason they gave GTA IV a 10 too, am I right? Why not just troll somewhere else?
Oh but eqit...I bet you have a Switch and Zelda pre-ordered right?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah... no one should take their review seriously then.

Guess you won't be able to take Zelda reviews seriously from IGN, Game Informer, Wired, Eurogamer, Metro, The Guardian, or VideoGamer either.

That's a lot of outlets to discount!

 

[Plum]

They gave Skyward Sword a 10. It's just brand name at the end of the day.

Yeah. The Fable of Belda: Gasp of the Natural Environment would have gotten an 8 for sure.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Zelda's first ten

Spoiler

1 point for each stable frame

They gave Skyward Sword a 10 as well. I think Ocarina was one of the first 10s they ever gave out.

Edit - I see this has been discussed plenty already. To be honest I'm more pleasantly surprised at Horizon getting 9/10.

 

[EhoaVash]

That is a fine list of games to join. But man that Skyward Sword...

And halo 3 and bayonetta 1 ..Yeah those games are not 10s ..

 

[DMONKUMA]

And Xenoblade 2.

And ARMS

Spoiler

I dunno either I just really like the look of ARMS *shrugs*

 

[funkystudent]

Skyward Sword is a 10.

On a 20 point scale? For sure.

 

[KrawlMan]

They gave Skyward Sword a 10. It's just brand name at the end of the day.

Yes, totally. I don't like the game so it's clearly not deserving of a high score. Must be bias towards the franchise.

Spoiler

/s

Only two Zelda games on that list. Skyward Sword was a controversial game for sure, but it was a stellar experience for some.

 

[Jonneh3003]

HOOOOOOLD ME

 

[Smiles and Cries]

10... I'm okay with this

 

[Poimandres]

Yeah, you're right, actually. This game probably sucks.

Lol its a very good indication that the game doesn't suck, but people were quick to chorus "game of the generation" based on a single review.

It's just a gentle reminder that a review is just someone's perspective that may or may not align with your own. Chill out.

 

[EloquentM]

Well Switch but Zelda is consider led as a cross gen title right? So I guess it's fine for the comparison.

Don't worry it's not important

 

[skypunch]

And ARMS

Spoiler

I dunno either I just really like the look of ARMS *shrugs*

I feel like first-party Switch games could be the highest rated Nintendo games in a long time.

 

[cw_sasuke]

He was being sarcastic... I think.

But it's hard to tell these days. Everyone out for blood lol.

 

[Withnail]

As a long time Edge reader I find the Horizon 9 more surprising than the Zelda 10.

 

[TheMoon]

10 from Edge, holy shit

lol

EDGE is so random with scores, it's really time we take the weight off of them.

 

[score01]

BOTW feeling more and more like GOTY already. When was the last time Nintendo launched with a 10/10 game? The N64? Smart decision to delay it to Switch.

 

[kromeo]

It's going to be interesting, I've never got more that about 10 hours into an open world game without losing interest but I'm hopeful this one will be different

 

[Always-honest]

Damn.. march is crazy.

 

[Jawbreaker]

As a long time Edge reader I find the Horizon 9 more surprising than the Zelda 10.

Why's that? Besides them giving past Zelda titles perfect scores, anyway.

 

[Cerium]

It won't be the last 10, going by the previews.

 

[skypunch]

Yes, totally. I don't like the game so it's clearly not deserving of a high score. Must be bias towards the franchise.

Chill out. I'm buying the game, but it's naive to think brand name doesn't influence its score.

 

[Dark Cloud]

When was the last time any company launched with a 10/10 game. Kind of odd comment for you to make about Nintendo considering they're the only company to even do it.

 

[Speely]

One thing about this review spectrum that should jump out to people: How many high-scoring games there are!! Early 2017 is delivering across the board.

Hot damn.

 

[Chao]

There are very questionable 10s in Edge's history, they even have the last guardian a 9 and boy does that game not deserve it.

But yeah, from other previews I can see this will be an interesting Zelda to say the least

 

[Staf]

Torment 8 is great. Day one.

 

[Leafhopper]

Skyward Sword also received a 10

Oh...
Not taking anything from BotW but, yeah lol.

 

[DMONKUMA]

I feel like first-party Switch games could be the highest rated Nintendo games in a long time.

Oh it definitely could be the case. Retro's game is one I imagine that everyone has high expectations for as well besides BoTW and Odyssey.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Fuck I gotta get Switch at launch sigh

 

[Nightengale]

Are we genuinely scrutinizing the EDGE 10 just cause there's been some questionable games that don't hold up the test of time?

As with all critic opinions, no list of perfect scores is fool-proof over the course of many many years and different editorial opinion, but EDGE is undoubtedly one of the harshest critics and more often than not, their 10 has weight.

A high score from EDGE still means something, and everything that we've seen of Zelda since E3 till now has shown that unless Nintendo is hiding something about the game, the previews and snippets has illustrated a game that is worthy of a 9 or 10.

 

[Dark Cloud]

And Xenoblade 2.

I'm sure Xenoblade 2 will be a 10 for me, but I doubt it will be a 10 for Edge.

 

[Octavianus]

Skyward Sword also received a 10

And is awesome.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Yeah, it actually deserves a 10.

 

[KrawlMan]

Chill out. I'm buying the game, but it's naive to think brand name doesn't influence its score.

It's cynical to think that it does.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Oh...

Half Life 2 also received a 10.

But what does it MEEEEEAAAAAAN.

 

[Moze]

BOTW feeling more and more like GOTY already. When was the last time Nintendo launched with a 10/10 game? The N64? Smart decision to delay it to Switch.

Twilight princess was very highly rated.

 

[EloquentM]

They gave Skyward Sword a 10 as well. I think Ocarina was one of the first 10s they ever gave out.

I think I finally fixed it

 

[TheDinoman]

BOTW feeling more and more like GOTY already. When was the last time Nintendo launched with a 10/10 game? The N64? Smart decision to delay it to Switch.

Well...there were publications that gave Twilight Princess a 10/10.

 

[Majmun]

The Last Guardian was even their GOTY 2016...

 

[Speely]

Torment 8 is great. Day one.

Samesies. Been waiting for this goddamn game forever, and it's great to see it well-received.

 

[Nightengale]

The Last Guardian was even their GOTY 2016...

Well deserved.

 

[Rezbit]

How the fuck do I hold all these awesome games?!

Great scores for all the big titles lately, especially that 10. Damn son.

 

[skypunch]

I'm sure Xenoblade 2 will be a 10 for me, but I doubt it will be a 10 for Edge.

If Xenoblade can hit a 9, then Xenoblade 2 can hit a 10.
