In the end, you'll want to read reviews from people with a similar taste in video games.

Kotaku put this image up by accident earlier in a FFXV article. Doesn't sound too bad.
Prepare yourselves for a way of saltiness when other reviews are similarly positive. It's funny, it almost sounds like they struggled to find things to fault the game for (although framerate drops are a legit fault, even if they're sporadic)
once reviews start appearing, there's one thing I will pay attention to:
How many reviews will contain the word "Ocarina" in it?
and every time it appears, I think I'll instantly think "dude, get over it already" lol
for me, empty boring overworld = Twilight Princess
it's the first game to come to mind. Yes, we had bugs and a chest here and there but holy crap, once you had collected those, it was the definition of a barren, empty wasteland

Clickbait reviews do exist but they are the exception rather than the rule. So rather than generalise a outlier review preemptively as clickbait you should see it as a personal opinion first and foremost. Like every other review in existence.

94 on Metacritic. Calling it now.
Yeah I think it's just because they have to have a negative on there as per their system

I don't think I've seen so meaningless negative recently. That's good.Kotaku put this image up by accident earlier in a FFXV article. Doesn't sound too bad.

Yeah I get that. Honestly, having such minor negatives probably says a lot more than the positives do anyway.

Just 34 hours left till I have my Switch and Zelda in hand.

99 Metacritic.
I do. I think you're too serious.
I don't even know what to expect from reviews, but I'll be in the thread for the impressions because of Zelda thirst and then the people gloating at or highlighting the singular importance of every negative review will get on my nerves. So will the "this reviewer is shit" stuff.
Not really, I think it's even more interesting to read reviews that are in complete disagrement with you. It gives interesting perspective on how to view the game, and how could something minor to you can be a dealbreaker to someone else.

Cons: may raise your sodium levels
Historically impossible.
Only for those that have literally paid zero attention to reviews or criticism for every open-world game in the last 15 years.
Either these games are too bloated with useless tasks that cause less savvy players to suffer from overwhelming anxiety, or most players to find them nothing but mundane busywork. Or they lack sufficient quality content to justify the scale and size of the game leading to the feeling that marketing was prioritized ahead of design.
You're right. I'm in hype mode and let out hyperbole more often than not right now, sorry.

I bet it's metascore is higher then Tri-Froce Heroes.
I'm a bold person.
I'm a bold person.
And just like that, Jason Schreier has become one of my favorite video game journalists
So you rate video game journalists by which score they give a new Zelda game?
That's the like the worst metric for rating a journalist ever.

How do you even accidentally post that image in an article for a completely different game.

Oh sweet baby jesus. The pinnacle of zelda. That's pretty high praise considering how all the main zelda games are range from good to amazing.

After Schreier's generous FFXV review and weird obsession with the post game dungeon, I'm not going to take this at 100% face value.
You'd be surprised at how messy most video game sites are, due to the massive database they carry.
Yeah I know. Fuck I've gotta stop with this dumb hyperbole and start controlling myself again.

Are we sure this isn't fake?
Literally one guys opinion, lol.
When I saw that, I got chills.
All of these superlatives from various review/preview sources.. this is sounding like a game for the ages. The kind of game that only comes along a few times in one's life.
SHUT IT DOWN. Shut it all down!

Not a big deal, but I thought you could remap the buttons in the demo. Or, it at least had some controller options. Is this not the case anymore?Kotaku put this image up by accident earlier in a FFXV article. Doesn't sound too bad.
Your constant negativity is quite something. I'm not sure anymore if you're just doing it to troll now.

I mean, press sneak fuck himself is on here blaming it on Kinja so...
You know, this Zelda is kinda a Monolith Soft game too. You should be happy they made a great game again.
