Nothing is perfect philosophy.

Then do not use a numbered scale.

 

[BitStyle]

I cannot wait till tomorrow, this and Horizon are gonna keep me busy for the next few months

Yep. This year is looking damn fine for gamers

 

[ASHES IN THE HOURGLASS]

Ok so either everyone got paid are now millionaires, OR this is everything I wanted it to be? I don't know which one it is since they're both so outlandish.

 

[Milennia]

Just dropped to 97

 

[Principate]

Guys it looks like we are moving on from ocarina of time now

I'm sad but excited

Fucking finally, been waiting years upon fucking years for a Zelda game to finally surpass it.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Is posting my own in here to be added OK? If so, mine for Zam:

http://www.zam.com/article/1365/the-...he-wild-review

You have my attention and have me worried, spread out objectives is exactly why open world feels like a chore and it seems I will have cause for concern if what you have said pans out. I don't hold much weight in most reviews to be fair and whatever scores IGN etc are giving out won't matter when they have given plenty of games I didn't like decent scores.

I have to admit the heart, cooking and weapon breaking system already sounds more like chore than a fun zelda game. Hope to god the world is not a back and forth fest and hope the dungeons and game ends up good for me.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Yes, that's a good point.
-------------
I'm not a Legend of Zelda fan and didn't play more than 1 hour of this series in my life, but these reviews are so amazing and make me happy without a reason! lol Let alone it's die hard fans!

Haha yeah, me too. I just wanna see it stay at 98. It's always good to see a game perform well.

 

[Ladekabel]

God damn at those scores.

 

[rockx4]

Gonna be a long day waiting for the midnight release.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Holy shit. It's real isn't it.

Open your eyes.

 

[unrealist]

I hope this leads to better open world games in future

 

[ekim]

Come on, 90 can't be minimum, which brave soul will be the first 80

Yeah this thread is surely missing meltdowns and dramas.

 

[othersteve]

You must have skipped Muscle March.

Well, that does look terrific I'll say.

 

[Loudninja]

Crazy ass year wont stop.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Just dropped to 97

Nooooooo

 

[Realeza]

Come on, 90 can't be minimum, which brave soul will be the first 80

Punk's who go against society I tell you.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Just dropped to 97

I'm considered canceling my preorder for the game and switch.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Horizon probably already sold more than this will in its lifetime lol

lol indeed

 

[DecoReturns]

Calmest review thread for a major title Ive ever seen.

Maybe it's too good

 

[GregLombardi]

This honestly might be the best videogame I have ever played guys.

How old are you, and from what era do you come? These are important questions, but, my god.


God.

 

[forknknife]

I really can't see how anybody in this forum can call themselves a gamer and not get a switch for this game. I hope this game sells well, it really deserves it.

 

[Zedark]

Then do not use a numbered scale.

That will cost clicks, though.

 

[Primethius]

This MC score is the least surprising thing I've seen all year.

 

[Vital Tundra]

It's only 1 more day. Just 1 more day....

 

[MavFan619]

My Switch just shipped and I'm going to weep in a corner at work in anticipation. Cannot wait. ;_;

 

[Pyroblazer]

Wow! My 94 in the prediction thread looks pretty bad now.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Just dropped to 97

There's probably at least 30+ reviews slowly trickling in over the course of the next few days.

But for it to even score 95+ is a huge achievement.

 

[zeexlash]

Super impressive, need to actually start reading some of these but yeah, delighted!

Can't wait for tomorrow.

[vaderise]

How long did Horizon have it?

It will still be a bigger financial success than Zelda. Mark my words.

 

[Zalman]

I can't remember the last time I saw a game review this well.

 

[GinoFelino]

5s and 10s.

Just as I thought - reviews are all over the place.

Please confirm that this is a joke post

 

[Trago]

We back baby!

 

[Milennia]

I'm considered canceling my preorder for the game and switch.

I cancelled when it went from 99-98 myself

 

[BassForever]

I'm surprised and a bit disappointed to hear about Gamexplain. What sort of things were they negative about?

Haven't had a chance to watch but he gave it a liked it a lot which their scale is

Meh
So-so
Liked
Liked it a lot
Loved it

So I guess you can say he gave it a 4/5 which would be the lowest review score but they intentionally don't score games

 

[Fat4all]

Yeah this thread is surely missing meltdowns and dramas.

It'll happen soon enough.

And it will be embarrassing.

That's just how it goes.

 

[ckaneo]

This thread is still quite peaceful. I am happy.

The game will score high even when the negative reviews come pouring in.

Not much left to discuss until we reach the Zelda cycle a year or two from now

 

[daxy]

Just dropped to 97

Worse than GTA IV, confirmed. Wrap it up boys.

 

[Mantorok]

Wow, that's a lot of perfect scores right there.

[Ghgghggh]

I'm literally screaming with hype lol.
Congrats Nintendo, this is why we love you.
If this game grabs me like OOT then you have me locked in for another 20 years. 😌

 

[toastyToast]

bah gawd. with 37 reviews!

 

[QaaQer]

Breath of the Wild is in the top 5 games of all time in terms of Metacritic scores: http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/all/filtered

As good as tony hawk ps2 and gtaIV? Lol at the reverence for critic scores.

 

[Seik]

Wow, holy shit, so many 10s!!! :O

 

[Manny Calavera]

Now there's already 37 reviews and still 98.

 

[Savantcore]

Just dropped to 97

Nintendo is doomed!

 

[unrealist]

Does Metacritic take into account "smaller" gaming sites or blogs?

 

[TerryLee81]

Impressive scores!

 

[nin1000]

Wooooo !

 

[Alrus]

Horizon probably already sold more than this will in its lifetime lol

Sales don't really matter but as explained in the Preview thread, no. Zelda's success is dependent on the Switch's own success but it has the potential to sell a fuckton of copies.
