I never said that a perfect 10 means it's perfect. I said the reviewers that are giving it perfect scores should acknowledge it at least in their reviews.
C'mon now.

The number of reviewers is so large at this point it's hard to see it moving either direction. Everyone was ready for the embargo. Based on other Zelda games on metacritic there will only be about ~15 more reviews added to the list.

This is true.
Yeah, it was just like "no" for the score.
did you read all the reviews? or are you asking them just to lower their score because of the "frame rate problems"?
i havent read them

98 metacritic... is that a record for a major title? Obviously, with a smaller sample of reviews, a higher score is easier.

You mean I can play one of the highest rated games of this generation...
OUTSIDE!?
Why would you want to go outside when you can play the new Zelda while sitting on the toilet?
"Oscar caliber performance" is a far worse hyperbole that GTA IV received from many outlets.
All games in the Top 20, beside GTA V and Zelda BOTW, released no later than 2010. Just shows how much review culture changed and in what estemeed company BOTW is now, in the year 2017.
That confused me too. Surely if you know your inventory is full you would drop more than one weapon at a time? Otherwise you will fill it up constantly.
True that.
Every one of the perfect scores mentions the frame rate issue and says it does nothing to deter from them feeling the game deserved a perfect score. Those non perfect scores took the score down in part due to the frame rate issues and having issues with them.
I haven't read them all but I've read a few and watched a few video reviews that don't mention performance at all

We were just discussing that a few posts ago.
Basically with the higher amount of reviews Breath Of The Wild has - and it's at 98% Metacritic - it would easily be 99 or possibly 100 if you cut it down to just 22 of the flawless reviews.
But that's not how things work lol

Let this be a lesson to all you 1080p60 folks.
Gameplay > Graphics.
Every. Single. Time.
Nintendo just told the industry that the way they have been making games is no longer good enough.

That is indeed cringe-worthy LOL
I know right? It's crazy (and scary) to think how quickly it's come by.
plz stop, the game would be definitely play better at 1080p/60fps

Might as well add SMO to the list.
Level of crazy in this thread is slowly increasing.
They didn't back then either... this is a myth.
Frames are apart of gameplay.
In anycase the game gets a graphics pass cause the hardware it is released on is so weak. If it was on the ps4 it would score lower if it looked and played the same.

i moreso meant this generation
critics have been a lot harsher on games. so to see something score this high, its truly impressive.

Wow. Impressed. I was not planning to buy the Switch any time.... Well, I changed my mind after this thread. I'm glad to see Nintendo back on track. Nintendo deserves my day 1 money.
Just wait until cemu people force native 4k on this bad boy.

Right? This makes no sense, otherwise OOT wouldn't be the oldest game in the top 10. It'd be all games from that era.
98? Pre-order cancelled.
I can't tell if you're bullshitting but frames do affect gameplay and Zelda would be better at 60fps.
To this day I don't understand this.
I mean... Yeah, it ruins the artwork, but that thing is going straight into the shelf and will never been seen again.
Or just print out your own cover.

for me, 60fps is part of the gameplay. I don't need state of the art super badass graphics, I need lovely art design and supersmooth gameplay.
Play ALBW again and you'll notice how 60fps are part of the gameplay
which is why I want an option for switch to play all content with the handheld resolution on docking mode
Come on man. I'm as hyped as you are, but this isn't appropriate.

If anything 10's are more common nowadays. especially last generation. 10s were rare as anything back in the day

This game looked really special from the beginning. The way the gameplay unfolds and the sheer amount of ways to tackle an obstacle is really impressive.
Agreed - you could probably pay $5 for the superior Pro Skater 2 vs. $60 for this laggy dumpster fire.

same for those 30 fps purists
I mean wtf a game is still playable at 20 fps that's the future of gaming right there
No, critics aren't hasher, the standards are just higher

i guess seeing Mass effect 3 and a few others on that all time high list that i didn't really like has me wondering.
i have mine pre-ordered and ready to go but i wasn't too crazy about skyward sword and it scored high.
