If that's considered a BAD score then the metacritic score should still be around 9.3 - 9.6.

There's an 88% and no one cares about it. That should tell you something.

Well, it seems that the street date is already broken (not my pics)
Jeez
How is this even possible? Time for a media blackout I guess, before some smartass on Youtube is gonna reveal the end of the game.Well, I care that it's a great score that reflects positively on the quality of the game.
He doesn't even need to put that much effort into it, just wait for the first 8/10 review to hit tomorrow and we'll see a 30-page thread of people freaking out within a few hours of its release.
But maybe GAF has learned something from the last time that happened (and they'll only freak out at the 7/10 review).

Or the first person to post a gif in a random thread. The 14th is just too long a wait even now after this long.

8.8 from GamePro is no 8 from Eurogamer
Backlash against low scores will happen eventually. No hyped game is really safe unfortunately.88% ey? Ummm, I guess that's that...
Way to spoil Star Trek Into Darkness.
Hahahaha

88% is basically 9/10 tbf
The reviewer was very positive about the game, he only mentioned occasional ai dropouts and mixed graphics quality.
play3 says the game has a great story (12-15 hours length) while Gamepro claims it has a 08/15 story.

I just really don't think that there's going to be some U3-type meltdown. There might be some that complain, but I doubt it'll be all that much. Right now there's too much to talk about with E3 around the corner and games being announced on a daily basis for any one topic to rule the forum. There will probably be far more fanning of what little flames there are, than some huge shamewall.
This.
So I guess its safe to say it will take people atleast 12 hours to beat it.

Isn't 08/15 a German only expression? Is it used in other languages? In case it isn't it means generic.

88% is a perfect score. Reviewer probably disliked a thing or two for him to give it a 10/10, but does not remove the fact that he probably enjoyed the hell out of it.
Anyone aiming for fanboys to rage over it are pathetic persons.

From the US, never heard that before. Why does it mean generic?

I remember the backlash when Gertsmann gave Twilight princess an 8.8. Never have I seen so much vitriol and anger.

I have no clue, it's just an expression we use.

Well Nintendo fans are even more crazy than Naughty Doggers.

Never thought about it. I don't think that you can buy a MG 08/15 (machine gun) in Germany anymore. ^^

The german soldiers had a Machine Gun "08/15" in the first world war and they got tired of practicing with it every day. So they used the numbers as a phrase for "routine".
sry for OT.
Ah, makes perfect sense.
I'd say 1.3. It's easily the worst Zelda game I've played.
Jeez
When the weekend hits plenty of people should have copies you could always find copies of newly released games at your local flea market before the date.

I was happy to see that the high res version of this exists. Such great artwork, if you view it fullscreen it's literally like some window into a different world.Super cool concept art that may be good to use in the OT?

The lowest score for it on all of Metacritic is 78%.
I didn't love Twilight Princess, but it was a decent Zelda game, I would have a very hard time justifying personally ranking it in the 70s. Definitely on the absolute lowest end of the 80s, though.

I really don't think the story will be groundbreaking or something. It will probably shine in its execution and acting, but I doubt it's anything we haven't seen before. Naughty Dog aren't exactly known for their writing either. I'm not even sure if Druckmann wrote anything before TLOU.
That being said, calling it generic is probably a little bit too harsh, especially for a game. Really interested how this turns out...

Correct. This hate against TP is killing me

I enjoyed the first 20 hours but never finished it. Lacks a litte bit of pacing.
Did ND say something about the Story DLC that comes with the season pass? First they said there will be no singleplayer DLC so why did they change their decision? Still looking forward to the game, I hope it has some surprises.
I agree completely.
I wasn't a part of the initial "OMG CELDA FUCK NINTENDO" crowd when WW was announced back in the day, though.

Interesting. There is also that fake Twilight poster on the wall we saw in a E3 demo last year.Super cool concept art that may be good to use in the OT?
Nor was I, I think WW is much prettier if that's what you mean, I just think it's design is inferior.

I disagree. I dislike the cell-shaded look of Wind Waker and far prefer the more realistic visuals of TP, but I think WW is a better designed game.
i found the dungeon design to be pretty poor in wind waker.

There's only one thing worse than a fanboy meltdown, and that's a Zelda comparison thread.
dragonbane

I just can't agree :/ I really don't want to turn this into another Zelda thread, but TP is easily the best Zelda of all time for me after Majora's Mask. It just hit all the right notes with me. I really liked WW though and prefer the artstyle to SS, which looked not good IMO.
