Yeah, if it weren't for the high expectations that people have of every Zelda entries, it would score even higher.

And even then, it's highly likely that the DLC is geared towards those players specifically and may win most of them over as well.

Full agreement. Having played and completed both Tingle games: They would not change your mind on that either. I think SS did a particularly splendid job on making the overworld rich with gameplay content of high quality.
I also love Skyward Sword (especially the motion controlled combat), but I can understand people that don't. Skyward Sword was very puzzle focused and linear, almost one giant dungeon, and it lacked a lot of the openness and cohesive world that other games in the series had, not to mention the handholding.
This almost looks like it went in the completely opposite direction of Skyward Sword, emphasizing exploration and player agency a lot more.
Two times The Witcher, i like you
I agree. Hyperbole can often kill a game's own great merits by overlooking its flaws. Iif you intend to get it or play it later to avoid such a media climate then I can empathize with your condition.
All I want to do is play this game, though. Seeing from the footage of what mechanics can be done alone, I can see myself getting lost in this the same way I got lost in Red Facion: Guerilla.

Weird how so many people seemingly can't believe it's just a fantastic game. So many posts saying "paid reviews" "nostalgic reviewers" and other statements like that. You can find them all over the internet.

I brought them up because they seem like one of the more common types of enemies. Am I incorrect?

pretty sure one of those is NiOh
This is the great thread title the game deserves.
Super easy to remove those, Zelda logo too? I can do it as soon as i get off from work in a few hours.

Y'know, I had buyer's remorse about my Switch preorder... but then this thread and these reviews, man...
I'll gladly pay $360 to experience the same feelings that I had playing OOT for the first time

You're trying to cover up the salt (nothing wrong with that), but it just flows down your face through the tears.
That's the joke.

Don't do this.
Horizon is fantastic. It's possible to like both games equally or even prefer Horizon.
can i complain about skeletons on dark souls? they are cannon fodder, of course there are a lot of them
but that doesnt make the other type of enemies dissapear

Oh yeah, the less than 3 minutes we've seen of Odyssey totally makes it seem like a hot mess.

No shit. This thread is starting to get fucking stupid. Why can't people be happy that two amazing games just came out. Most people are going to play both of them anyway. The comparisons between the two are mind boggling. Other than being open world they aren't anywhere near the same type of game, and one is a brand new IP which was made by a developer who honestly has a "meh" stable of games they have made in the past. One is a series that has been around since the 80's, and has one of if not the most rabid fan bases on the planet. Be happy both exist ffs.

I absolutely love Majora's world/story/characters and all of the quest lines that explore and flesh all of it out, but it gets knocked down by its dungeons, which are the worst of the 3D Zeldas. I get why the rest might be enough to overpower that flaw for others however.
That's actually the thing TP really got really right though, it had amazing dungeon designs.
I wouldn't blink at people putting WW and OoT above it though.
I pity anyone who is "taking sides". At the end of the day, the gamers won. We have two amazing games just a week apart from each other.
Jesus, are people really saying that it would be an 8/10 if it didn't have Zelda in the title. Take a step back and think about what you are saying before saying it! If that was the case then all these new IPs such as Horizon should be lower as they don't have an establish name in the title either.
Can't wait to get both games.

WHAT THE FUCK AT ALL THOSE TENS
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
It's not the 10's that surprise me, it's the fact there's nothing below a 9 yet. I expect that to change sooner or later as more reviews come in but man there won't be many.

I don't know why some folks think BotW will be mainstreams GOTY.
Are y'all forgetting Shadow of War is coming out this year? 🙄

I'm pretty sure that some combat games are gonna the physics driven to cash in with this game's popularity.

Would you be saying the same if it were a From game....or Naughty Dog....or Rockstar? Guess it's time to start applying that logic to all of those...
It couldn't be that it's just a great game...nah....

Who are you kidding? We all know Nintendo games suck, and they only get good scores because of name recognition and nostalgia.
I guessed a 92MC though to some reviewers bashing the game due to technical underprowess...shame on me, will gladly east all the crow I can find
. It´s awesome how a 90 is considered a bad score for this game, Nintendo has done it again. I think they´re the best at inventing and reinventing genres: they did it with Mario, Metroid and Zelda, then when switching those series to 3D, they also did it when reinventing the racing genre with MK and shooters with Splatoon...and have done it again with BotW. I can´t imagine what Mario Odissey is going to bring and am becoming more and more hyped for ARMS as well.
On another topic, this thread has been very underperforming. 10 after 10, not a single low review to instill a witch hunt, gaffers congratulating each other on the fantastic games we´re getting for all systems instead of throwing scores at each other´s faces (well, for the most part)...I´m VERY disappointed GAF. I give you a 90/100.
when I roam Hyrule this night XD

It's like The Last of Us and Witcher 3 all over again.
I wonder if we'll get any "BOTW has ruined all other games for me" threads like we did for TLOU.
Not if the glasses produce a "wow such innovation on the Zelda idea!" feeling. As much as people love game series - they rarely want more of the same. That's why Bloodborne is more highly regarded than Dark Souls sequels, for instance. Or why people started rolling their eyes at every New Super Mario Bros iteration when they were only a few years ago clamoring for more Mario sidescrollers.
Zelda nostalgia + new variations = evoking that feeling of wonder back when you played your first Zelda. And you can insert any game you want in there.

Indeed. These threads are always the best.
Weird how so many people seemingly can't believe people are entitled to different opinions and can question the reviews! So sad!
