Some of them did not play The Witcher 3, Warframe or Rainbow Six: Siege (very different games, but all of them vastly superior to Destiny IMHO), for example, just because Destiny demanded too much gaming time from them and left them without options. Somewhat of an addiction.
A lot of people blindly preordered D2 without even playing the beta, also.
You're right. It'll be thought of even more highly.
Definitely doesn't appear to be trending that way so far, compared to at release.

Sure it is.
Read recent Amazon reviews, all by verified buyers. It's reputation is as strong as ever, if not stronger.
You're looking at what you want to look for.
Game is still receiving rave reviews.
beaten:
FFXV. I had fun in the beginning. Then I noticed most of it came from nostalgia. Game design, writing and gameplay were a mess.
Ah yes and here's another solid choice.That was quick, OP
Probably Ace Attorney 5 - Dual Destinies. I was taken in by the 3D visuals and the fact it'd been a while since the last Ace Attorney. But the more I dwelled on it, the more disappointed I was in the direction they went in. It has a few things I like, but the story is honestly pretty terrible. it's now my least favourite game in the entire series.
I have a similar relationship with Ace Attorney 6, but I'm still a big fan of the individual chapters. I just don't think they come together as well as they could have if some stuff was set up better. But maybe in the long run that's another issue with 5
You said it yourself, you're surprised at all the BOTW mentions.
No, looking at something like these Amazon reviews is looking at what you want to look for.
No, looking at something like these Amazon reviews is looking at what you want to look for. I didn't say it wouldn't be regarded highly in the future... but his argument is that it would be regarded even more highly than today. I'm just saying that today as opposed to release isn't showing that to be the case.
No I didn't.
Show me.
Ah sry, got the quote history mixed up a little.
But yea, same deal. The mentions of it in a thread like this are more negative than anything it had at launch. Even if reception is 98.9% positive right now, it's less than the essentially 100% glowing reception it had at release.
The discussion in this thread for one.
No, pre-launch it had a 98 on MC. It's never been at 100.
I don't understand what exactly you are trying to argue, everyone doesn't like same games?oh ffs...
oh ffs...
oh ffs...
oh ffs...
I see this view expressed a lot, and not just about BoTw. It's extremely strange to me.
"I spent hundreds of hours on this game, enjoyed every second, but now I've seen everything so it's not fun to return to"
Well, obviously. Did you expect it to last forever?
To be, it doesn't matter if a game is fun to go back to (though it's nice when it is), the main thing is about whether that first play through was enjoyable or not.
Destiny.
I waited for it, already in my thirties, like if I was a ten-year old kid. I hoped for it to showcase the post-Reach (my favorite Halo and in my All-Time Top 25) Bungie, the mythic developers who escaped from Microsoft´s grasp in order to achieve full creative freedom. I played for it a lot (about 250 hours on each platform) both on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Eventually I saw it from another perspective. Not only the story was almost non-existant, but the lore didn´t take itself seriously... one of the elements I loved from Reach, which was the most dramatic Halo.
The gameplay is ultimately very shallow, relying on the solid shooting mechanics and the fabled 30-seconds loop to make you grind to exhaustion in order to get a new gun... which will become obsolete with the following DLC.
Some of the social aspects were innovative for a console game, but I didn´t like what I saw: Destiny became so popular than say half of my thirty-something gaming friends, who now have limited time to play because of family / work / adult life, spend it almost entirely doing raids or customizing their guardians. Some of them did not play The Witcher 3, Warframe or Rainbow Six: Siege (very different games, but all of them vastly superior to Destiny IMHO), for example, just because Destiny demanded too much gaming time from them and left them without options. Somewhat of an addiction.
A lot of people blindly preordered D2 without even playing the beta, also.
Lots of the promises were not fulfilled, and Bungie left Microsoft in order to produce a colorful space shooter for another gargantuan company.
Not sure why there always has to be a BOTW defense force in every thread. It's literally the only game being defended in this thread against people's own personal opinions.
Tho I did say that, in time, it won't be as highly thought of as it was at release
I still don't know if I like rogue Galaxy or not
It's been like 11 years
The Uncharted games. They have incredibly mediocre Gameplay. Uncharted 4 though was a huge improvement on all fronts but still not as much as i would have liked. Once the graphics lose the wow factor it becomes really apparent how mediocre these games actually are.

The honeymoon period can be short lived in some games, while others slowly but surely eat away at you.
What game did you once love but now absolutely hate, and why?
I went on quite a high with Splatoon 2 but now the little things are beginning to annoy me. Why can't I exit a damn lobby inbetween matches, yes I can choose to quit immediately after match, but sometimes you end up stuck in a lobby for ages with no simple way to exit.
Why can't I change weapons inbetween matches? "The game has a matchmaking system to ensure an equal spread of weapons in teams". It fucking doesn't, I'm seeing teams full of the same weapons.
Why can I not pick my weapon in Salmon Run? I don't want to use a fucking bucket.
Oh nearly forgot about that one.
"Man the freedom is so great" has gone to "I can't be fucked anymore"
It feels as though I can spend 4 hours in the game and achieve absolutely nothing of worth.
True you might get lumbered in matches like that, but it's no worse than when you're on the final wave with 10 seconds to go, and the last guy remaining decides to go on a suicide run instead of reviving team mates or at least staying alive and...."It's a wrap"
You're literally in a thread with a negative premise. One of the biggest games of the year is obviously going to be mentioned, as lots of people played it and not everyone is going to universally love something. It happens to every big release, such as Bloodborne and Uncharted 4, GAF's two most recent GotY winners.
In contrast, there was a thread a couple weeks back regarding the best games of 2017 so far and BotW had its mark all over it.
Notice how nobody understands wtf you're talking about.
What are you going on about? Just stop.
I mean, if you want to argue its reputation isn't higher, I wouldn't be all that opposed to conceding with that point. But it's definitely not lower.
Aren't you arguing that BotW is considered now worse than on release because 1.2% of Amazon reviews aren't 5/5? I honestly don't know what you're trying to say.
Nintendo Depressed Force?
I don't think the game is ever going to not be considered hall of fame material. And yes, this does happen to pretty much every big release to varying extents (and if someone had posted Uncharted 4 or Bloodborne would be better regarded a decade from now, than they are today, I'd be making the same argument).
This thread is inherently for negative opinions yes... but they have a filter. It's for games you originally held in higher regard. It's not a static opinion... but one taking time into account. If the inverse of this thread were to be created, then there would probably be posts citing BotW as a game some people initially didn't like, but grew to love. I wouldn't imagine it being as many people though, as there were extremely few negative impressions to begin with.
Nah, you can just stop replying to me. I'm not on some anti-BotW shit here. You could replace it with the vast overwhelming majority of games (stuff like Mario 64/Galaxy, Halo CE, DooM etc), and I'd argue that whilst they're still considered stone cold classics, they're not regarded better than they would have been held as at launch. They weren't GotY tier then. they were singular best game of all time tier then.
The game's that go against this pattern are typically those that either gain updates that change the perception over time (Diablo 3, Driveclub, Final Fantasy XIV), or those that are somewhat misunderstood at launch, and later impressions come mostly from people that have different expectations going in (GodHand, Vanquish). Almost nothing with unanimous praise sees their star shine brighter than it does initially. History just remember how bright it once shone.
Heh, I would on the other hand wouldn't be opposed to conceding its reputation isn't lower (a least not meaningfully beyond anecdotal evidence)... but it's definitely not higher.
I apologise for the rather flippant "oh, ffs" response btw. I should have just explained the issue I had with it. I'm not referring to the metascore. Think how a movie can have a 90%+ "fresh" rottentomatoes score without being anywhere near 90 on metacritic. I can give a movie a good score without it being a perfect score, and so it's possible to receive good scores from everyone (100% approval) without the perfect scores from everyone that would be required for a 100 metascore (which will almost certainly never happen at any point in time ever).
No. I was arguing that the Amazon scores are completely irrelevant as they were always great. They don't show any sort of improvements to how the game is or will be regarded.
Fallout 4. First few hours it was nice to be back. Then it just became a snooze fest. I don't even think I got halfway through.
