Man. I don't really like the vast majority of the Zelda music I've heard, but this was fantastic. Thanks for the link. I hope BOTW will have some music more like that.

mmm i think its not good to consider scores that are outside the main range "contrarian".
if the reviewer genuinely doesn't like something, should they not give it what they think it deserves?
Masterpiece. That's pretty much it.

Agreed. I feel the only thing preventing Persona 5 from hitting 95+ is the fact that it's an enhanced PS3 game with some low res textures in some areas. I also feel some reviewers won't like how stylish the UI is. As long as it gets 90+ though, I'm good.

Skyward Sword.
Yeah I can see the UI being a turn off for some, especially since it's something you constantly see.
Did they actually use that wording? I'm sorry I don't have the magazine to check.

I'd imagine a few reviewers will give it a 7 or 8 due to wanting more out of the dungeons

Really the only right answer.
Really the only right answer.
Maybe?
Why would that drag the score all the way down to a 7? I think people are overstating the importance of "main" dungeons in this game.
The dungeons are likely big as well since Monolith Soft likely did a lot of the overworld work for the team. Aonuma knows how to get his games some memorable dungeons.
I wouldn't consider that a short phrase, lol.
"Nineteen years on, Ocarina is still held up as the high-water mark of one of gaming's best-loved - and greatest - series. Now it may have to settle for second place."
Not that short buuuut...

Fuck some asshole posted a video on YT and the image showed what
looks like. Avoid random YT vids by unknowns.

Nintendo really seems to have had a total saturation strategy with promoting Switch and Zelda on Youtube. They must have sent out units to hundreds if not thousands of smaller youtubers -- I've seen ones with as few as 10k subs get their hands on it.
You're welcome. Dragon Quest 8 has maybe the most memorable VG music of all time and it's worth checking out more of the soundtrack if you're so inclined!

What's wrong with the dungeons?

Different people want different things in Zelda. For people who see Zeldas core components as dungeon solving and aren't interested in open world stuff they might be disappointed judging by the edge review
.
Sure. That doesn't explain the justification for docking several points when the game still has dungeons, mini-dungeons and mazes. A score of 7 suggests serious flaws with a game, personally, even if it's technically a "good" score.

game reviews don't really work like that, tho. there isn't a scoreboard somewhere, most reviewers will assess the technical and artistic elements and then come up with their conclusion.
a 7 doesn't necessarily mean they took away points for any specific issues, it could just be what the reviewer feels the game deserves.
a 7 could be "this game is held back by something" or it could be "in terms of enjoyment i got a 7 out of it", even if nothing is technically wrong with it.

I think it's going to be 95% plus easily, with plenty of GOAT claims being flung around. All the previews read like they want to call it already but they can't because they are on!Y supposed to talk about the first five hours.
TP and SS always had that slight whiff of disappointment about them. TP was too much by the numbers and SS was too restrictive and had the divisive waggle factor. Not to say that either was bad but the faults were obvious. This is something completely different.
Also feels like the last three big games (WW, TP and SS) were all on the same engine and it was noticeable. No chance of that here.

Let's wait for the review thread to guess review scores pls.
At least guessing particular people will rate it low might be weird, even though I hate Jim sterlings content I know that dude loves Zelda so him giving it low would be more surprising than anything.

Well, there's a 7/10, which is a pretty good, above average score, and then you have the NeoGAF 7/10

My mom is excited, and she is also a grandmother, so can confirm.
truth, thankfully I got exams all week so I got stuff to do otherwise it would be completely unbearable.

I know the game was leaked, is everything being spoiled now?I accidentally clicked the spoiler thread earlier today before heading out (title wasn't changed yet), mistakes were made... I was left feeling depressed during my drive
Am I bad for not really liking that much?

I believe typically, a thread is premade, locked, and then unlocked an hour before.
There were spoilers on story cutscene content, and seemed really important from what I read. Do not click it :\
This is from a 2 hours ago.
I thought I was clicking on this thread and wanted to catch up, I fucked up lol
Frame rate IS GAMEPLAY. It's literally the sole factor that can give you a consistent and smooth gameplay experience. When it fluctuates or dips, it affects controller response which results in a terrible gameplay experience.
Those other games you mentioned ran at a low frame rate but at least they were CONSISTENT.
I can't believe how few people understand this...

The only rank that it matters is gamerankings so there's that.
I think it might dethrone OoT from #2. Super Mario Galaxy is almost impossible, if this place is a warzone, that game was a moment of truce:
