Can anyone say 'moneyhat'?

Jeez, I'm looking at this thread and I'm seeing what I guess full grown ADULTS losing there minds over a game for CHILDREN. I guess it's good at what its supposed to do which is to entertain kids but some of you need to GROW UP, y'all acting like your at kindergarten LMAO.

I guess it like with Disney, sure the films are good and maybe an adult can enjoy them if he has to be in the room but you have LOST YOUR MIND if you think you can compare those films to adult movies like scareface and the fast and furious franchise.

If you like this game you NEED to grow up, that's all their is too it.

If Odyssey comes out and is critically acclaimed (at least similarly so), will this be the first time ever that GotY is, in part, Mario vs. Zelda?

Zelda and Mario split votes, Red Dead wins on Gaf!

 

[Copenap]

Framerate issues impact on gameplay experience.

That's not what I meant. It is an issue for sure and I agree that this should be considered in a review. However, your post implies that this means it cannot be a 10 because it is not perfect and I was just saying that a 10 does not mean perfect, it's not physics. If the game is incredible even with fram rate issues it can be a 10. Of course the whole rating is very subjective to begin with.

 

[Realeza]

I can only imagine certain someones furiously scurrying Google for "Breath of the Wild Review 6 7 8" and getting frustrated.

I saw a lot of those in the preview thread lmao.

 

[HunteronX]

Wow. 98/100 metacritic from 50+ reviewers.

I was too young to experience Ocarina of Time when it was first released, but I luckily managed to complete it later on, via Virtual Console.

I can't wait to experience some of the feelings people had when being introduced to new game mechanics back then, which when encountered, seemed so much like common sense, that many adventure games now incorporate them like second nature.

Congrats Nintendo.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Gonna' be pretty tough for the game to drop below 97 now.

Well, there's another 50 or so to come, but it seems unlikely to fall much, yeah.

 

[Grakl]

So, there is another one that wants to spit into the perfectly brewed Zelda Ratingsoup:

http://www.4players.de/4players.php...0/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Breath_of_the_Wild.html

91/100

I translated their statement at the end: "This is the best Legend of Zelda since Ocarina of Time in my opinion. Nintendo finally advanced [as a developer]. I wish everyone fun with this remarkable adventure."

You might wonder why it's only a mediocre 91/100 then? Because they are german. They gave HORIZON Zero Dawn 86/100 so you guys have something to compare that rating to

91 is so mediocre ugh

 

[Omnistalgic]

What in the absolutely fook is this???

GOTY??

Oh my...my copy comes Friday and I have no Switch yet ;-(

 

[Skippy27]

This was my first five star review for IBTimes UK and, on a personal note, one of the reviews I'm most proud of

[Nicktendo86]

I mean, I KNEW this would get good scores. It's Zelda right? But I wasn't prepared for this. Amazing.

I just cannot afford a switch at the moment so will wait to see some comparisons between the wiiu and switch versions and pick up on wiiu if it isn't too bad, but damn. I wish I was 14 again and had all the time in the world to devote to this.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Statham would be disappointed.

10/10

 

[Matbtz]

If the game really keeps the 98 Meta score can we make the ot:
Breath of the Wild |OT| It's 98 all over again

Nice one !

 

[Bishop89]

I kinda feel bad for Sony.

They shouldn't have released Horizon so close to Zelda.

lol joke post?

 

[Mistouze]

It's going to be interesting to see how the game's reception will evolve in time. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. Don't fail me amazon!

Platin medal from 4players is like a 10/10 from most other outlets. I don't think they ever rated anything higher than 94 or so.

Like the Zelda reviews, this is a 10/10 troll.

Nice

 

[oneofthose]

Despite being open world both games seem very much geared towards different audiences and both are thus-far acclaimed. Admittedly I have only played one but I'm buying a Nintendo home console for the first time just to play Zelda however people really need to chill out with this adversarial shit, I saw it in almost every Horizon Zero Dawn thread and now the game is out, its great and people should be enjoying it we still get this kind of stuff.

I know you're joking but the sentiment isn't any less annoying.

I didn't like horizon just seemed like the developers focused everything on making the game look good, gameplay was bland.

 

[Primethius]

GOTY??

I'm in the same boat.

 

[Air]

Wow. So far that's way higher than I thought. Nintendo does it again

 

[Majukun]

I kinda feel bad for Sony.

They shouldn't have released Horizon so close to Zelda.

this game is not gonna influence horizon at all

It is peopel with this mindset that got to do the growing up here. This is such a pubescent attitude to have.

I love you man. I really love you.

 

[Nightbird]

If the game really keeps the 98 Meta score can we make the ot:
Breath of the Wild |OT| It's 98 all over again

That's perfect.

And wow @ keeping that extremely high score.

I kinda regret having sold my WiiU last christmas...

On the other hand, i do have a reason to buy a Switch a little bit earlier now!

 

[Justinian]

If the game really keeps the 98 Meta score can we make the ot:

YES! This is perfect.

 

[Litri]

Hooooly fuck. I knew it. Reinforces my purchase if it wasn't already clear. High five Aonuma!

 

[Aaronrules380]

Another 3D Zelda getting ridiculous (probably a teensy bit overhyped) review scores. have not ended up agreeing with the insane hype for any of these games except wind waker, but maybe this one will finally be another exception for me. Still don't understand why games media can't right level-headed reviews for these games.

Even if it's a bit overhyped, this type of score is literally unheard of in modern gaming. This goes beyond what other Zelda games have gotten by quite a bit

 

[InsaneTiger]

10 years from now fam, we'll remember the point of our lives when this game came out.

Uh sure, but life is greater than a videogame. Good for Nintendo, glad Zelda is doing well. Time to sell everything.

 

[big_erk]

Shaking with excitement already... im nearly 40yrs old

Youngling.

I kinda feel bad for Sony.

They shouldn't have released Horizon so close to Zelda.

Only because it will have t wait for me to get to it after I finish Zelda.

 

[Principate]

Hands down the most tame review thread I've been apart of, good job gaf

I'm just in disbelief. Reminds me of GTAIV. Not even in my most positive prediction did I expect it to do this well. like 96 tops.

 

[MTC100]

91 is so mediocre ugh

We're talking about the best game in gaming history, even 95 would be mediocre.

 

[AmyS]

If the game really keeps the 98 Meta score can we make the ot:
Breath of the Wild |OT| It's 98 all over again

I love that!

 

[Nintenleo]

98 Metacritic. I thought it wouldn't be possible in 2017.

GOAT confirmed.
Thanks Nintendo.

 

[Verder]

We literally have 2 zeldas in the top games of all time
1. ZELDA
2. ZELDA
3. Tony hawk

 

[Salex_]

From Metacritic, credit Nibel for screenshot

I don't understand why Soul Caliber scored so high. Soul Caliber 1 wasn't close to being the best fighting game around that time. Tekken 3 should be towers above SC1.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Well, there's another 50 or so to come, but it seems unlikely to fall much, yeah.

Every major site's review is up and since MC weighs review outlets differently, it's going to take a bunch of low scores to bump it lower than one or two points.

You bought a Switch copy but weren't gonna get a Switch till later?

Wonderful.

 

[mrmickfran]

I actually consider Breath of the Wild's average more impressive than Ocarina's, considering that it has to work with more than twice the amount of reviewers.

 

[bennibop]

I kinda feel bad for Sony.

They shouldn't have released Horizon so close to Zelda.

No reason to feel bad, Horizon looks to have sold very well they have 60 million consoles out there. Not sure why people feel the need to do this, if you love games you will buy both Horizon and Zelda they are both fantastic must have titles for totally different reasons. Horizon is a masterpiece and has totally blown me away, Zelda will also be fantastic and sure will have similar impact for different reasons.

 

[LotusHD]

Gotta post it again:

 

[LordBaztion]

This is going to be the game of the generation. Congrats Aonuma and team.

 

[duckroll]

98 Metacritic. I thought it wouldn't be possible in 2017.

GOAT confirmed.
Thanks Nintendo.

I always believed.

Pretty good! I mostly agree with Jörg and he also gave Heavy Rain a really high score which was my GOTG last gen.

 

[DecoReturns]

To be fair. Horizon had its date looked down a long time ago.

Nintendo just announced Zelda released date not even two months ago. Doesn't matter tho, there's little overlap between Horizon and Zelda. They'll both get attention.

How are people even falling for this?

 

[Shadow-Link]

Wow those are great scores. To be honest I'm still worried about the performance of the game on the Wii U, but my hype is at maximum levels. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

 

[shandy706]

Wow, incredible scores. Can't wait for Mario and a Switch this Holiday. If I last that long.

I need to clear my catalog over the next 7 months so I can put 100 hours into this.

On topic: Just waking up to see the reviews and Metacritic. Holy fucking shit!!!

 

[Omnistalgic]

lol can't find one yet..waiting for Amazon to restock

 

[vareon]

Let's not bring Horizon now, no matter what you think of it. "Now" being the keyword because it does nothing but derail the thread where everyone is waiting for reviews.
