I won't lie, a big reason I've never been all crazy over Ocarina is because I just basically skipped over it as a kid. I mean I had it, but I just never finished, and as a result, the magic and nostalgia is just lost on me. BoTW looks to be my 2nd chance when it comes to that.

I honestly can't remember the last time I've spent so much money on games
There's plenty of 90+ (and near 90) MC games that don't fit that mound. I feel like this is a bait post to give Nintendo additional praise lol.
lol yeah, I can't hype myself up too much before playing. Those expectations are a little ridiculous.
Wow this post is so Adult.

Weird thing is that it didn't get the highest score from GameXplain.

Please tell me this is a GAF joke that I'm unaware of.
God I hope not. I think I need a new hobby.
The fast and furious part made it evident lmao

Haha seriously. I'm glad the game is great but that's just cringe. Really makes it hard to take reviews seriously when they start gushing like that.
What am I reading
/ Dead. Lol
I barely post in review threads and I'm not even anywhere near the biggest of Zelda fans despite my great enjoyment of the series; having said that - this is beautiful to see. Not only a perfecting of Zelda's formula by Nintendo it seems, and not only the largest Zelda to date, but probably Nintendo's best creation and one of the very best games of all time, if these reviews are anything to go by. Which is incredible to see and experience.
In the last 12 months alone, Hitman returned to form, we got one of the best console puzzlers in the Witness, we got Nintendo's best strategy game in many years in Fire Emblem Fates, we got one of the most memorable rhythm games of all time in Thumper, ID made their best game in decades with Doom, we got possibly the best and meatiest piece of DLC ever with the Witcher 3 Blood & Wine, we got Blizzard's new IP Overwatch that sweeped GOTY awards and gave everyone one of the freshest multiplayer games in years, we got an action adventure masterpiece in the form of Uncharted 4, we got one of the most acclaimed platformers ever in Inside, The Last Guardian not only finally came out but was actually incredible for gamers, the Yakuza series came back with a bang with Yakuza 0, Resident Evil 7 brought the series back to form and actually scared the shit out of gamers, we got the best Tales games in many years with Berseria, we got probably Koei Tecmo's best game in decades with Nioh, Guerilla finally created their masterpiece with Horizon, and now Nintendo created likely not only the best Zelda game but maybe the best Nintendo game ever for some.
Bottom line is, it's a great honor to live in some of the most exciting times in gaming history with all of you. We shall cherish it
it's the best time to be playing games!!

Yeah, the 7/10 is an institution at this point. Maybe we should be angry because of the glowing reviews?

Hmmm, I wonder how long it will take for the Switch to drop in price in the UK...?
Eh, I am very, very interested in this new Zelda, but there are those of us who put the visual package far up the list, and that game is a watershed in that area.

Up to 52 critics on MC now, retaining 98.
I mean, even reviewers that are weighing the performance issues heavily are rating it really well
Jesus...
Your mistake is thinking 10/10 means perfect.
Yeah reviews are too good, my hype is deflating.
Except Nintendo games are always the best looking and technical on their systems. So they are impressive for their hardware.
"Where were you when Zelda: Breath of The Wild is out?"
"I'm here, F5ing Neogaf and grinning like stupid."
Not exactly glowing but I'll cherish these memories.

Bloodborne was rife with performance issues and also reviewed incredibly well. And deservedly so.
I am crushed under the weight of your maturity, man.
Also, ok for Scarface, but F&F? Fuck off lol.

Superb. Literally A+ material.
Read the reviews and you will understand that it's minor compared to all the fun testers had and mostly it's not to the point it not playable at like Assassin creed was.

I don't feel that reviewer is credible. Look at the first sentence lol I'll stick to the general consensus. This game is amazing.

Remember when the embargo was revealed and people went "Uh oh day before launch? Nintendo clearly doesn't have confidence in Zelda."?
Man this is something else.
Man this is something else.
Framerate issues impact on gameplay experience.
@Chaos17 I have read the reviews, like I said I am hyped for game (love Zelda) just don't like that performance issues have been pointed out and a perfect score given.
LMFAO
Post of the Day!
And Yeah, Movies can be compared and Kubo and the Two Strings is better than Scarface and FAF combined together.
Quick someone post the Biker Link concept art.
