Is this really a thing that exists?

It was used during South Park TFBW demonstrations on gamescom this summer. During fart or poop scenes if I remember corrrectly.

 

[weekev]

Im tempted on just buying a switch just for this, is theres a big difference between the Switch version and the WiiU version?

Its more stable and more portable. Get the Switch, you won't regret it.

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

GTA4 is higher than GTA5?

I think a lot of the GTA4 10s were the gaming presses way of saying "sorry we didn't give GTA:SA a 10".

Its like a lifetime achievement oscar

pretty much this

Or they really like bowling with Roman

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yup. It's hermit mode all weekend. I don't think there was any doubt that this would be great, but goddamn at some of the comments from reviewers. Some of them are just straight up hype. I am not ready.

 

[GRW810]

They should have cancelled the wii u version.

Or now at the very least just stop producing them.

This game is the definition of a system seller.

If they had done that I wouldn't be playing the game tomorrow, so no, they shouldn't have.

 

[Fledz]

How the fuck is Tony Hawk at 98?

 

[Lemondish]

How the fuck is Tony Hawk at 98?

Right?

Spoiler

Should be 100.

 

[Oblivion]

Checking out Metacritic.com, huh? Get back to your astronomy books, NOW!

 

[KScorp]

I think a lot of that has to do with nostalgia. I'm not saying nostalgia is bad, or that it blinds people from being fair or balance, because that in itself would be unfair. Nostalgia is more than just a fond recollection - it's a real feeling that can either heighten or depress your experience. For many, it seems Breath of the Wild taps into the fond memories many gamers have of Ocarina of Time and wraps that all together with beautiful art direction and classic Nintendo charm.

But for me, that review you linked is the only voice that matters. Someone who doesn't seem to be influenced by that nostalgic feeling. It's really the only rational view I can accept since I am sadly without any of those fond memories. I can't reminisce about Zelda, so I probably wouldn't be able to get over some of these issues that review points out.

I can't tell what's real anymore

Uh it was genre defining

 

[Futureman]

Hey it's the Nintendo Switch. You could go to that fancy new nightclub in town tomorrow night and play Zelda. No more hermit!

 

[Daft_Cat]

Yeah I think this is one of those games that the media just goes crazy with all perfect scores just because its Zelda.

Yupp. It also explains why, even with game journalism's growing aversion to hyperbolic reviews, Breath of the Wild remains the single best scoring installment in the Zelda franchise in decades. Just narrowly missing the high-water mark set by Ocarina of Time, which is widely considered to be one of the very best games of all time.

Deep deep sale.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

How the fuck is Tony Hawk at 98?

Most of that series is PURE GOLD.

 

[Resistance100]

How the fuck is Tony Hawk at 98?

It's pro skater 2. Well deserved score

 

[Stalwart]

I really wonder if all the people questioning Pro Skater 2 have actually played it.

 

[ASHES IN THE HOURGLASS]

Tony hawk was a pretty awesome game when it was released

Never played it, would you say it still holds up?

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yeah it was very good. But GoAT good?

At the time? Absolutely.

 

[Firemind]

Uh it was genre defining

But Tony Hawk doesn't even talk.

 

[Caja 117]

Its more stable and more portable. Get the Switch, you won't regret it.

Ill be looking to see when it gets available then.

 

[timetokill]

anihawk i love you bro

Yeah I think this is one of those games that the media just goes crazy with all perfect scores just because its Zelda. I believe the scores are mostly hype induced instead of rational scores. But congrats to them and I guess time will tell where this game stands eventually.

lmaooooooo

 

[Version 3.0]

GTA4 is higher than GTA5?

GTA4 is a big part of the reason reviewers are a little more sedated these days. They took a lot of flack for all the perfect scores for that game.

I honestly thought we'd never see a game score this high again.

 

[VanWinkle]

That Easy Allies review seems like they're just trying to stir controversy.

Like okay, it's one thing if you don't think it deserves a perfect score.

But a 4.5??

Even Bloodrayne got a 6.

Some people just want to cause needless trouble. Tsk tsk.

Umm... It's 4.5/5. Although maybe you're joking. I don't even know anymore with this review thread stuff.

 

[NeonBlack]

I'm just waiting for the 0 score user reviews at this point. Wanna see if there's any creative trolling.

 

[marrec]

How the fuck is Tony Hawk at 98?

THPS2 deserves a 100 I know.

 

[Labombadog]

People will just resell the code...

True. Forgot about that aspect. LOL

 

[hamsjams]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was a damn cultural phenomenon when it released. A large portion of the skateboarding craze of the 00s was almost certainly directly caused by the quality and success of those early Tony Hawk games.

It's one of the games at that score that MOST deserves it.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Umm... It's 4.5/5

Lol

 

[Walt_Clyde]

TP on GC didn't stop the Wii from selling.

Wouldve alienated all wiiu buyers.

 

[Fledz]

Most of that series is PURE GOLD.

No doubt it's an enjoyable game and I quite liked PS2 but damn man, I would never put it that high. Obviously that's just me lol.

 

[Pancake Mix]

GTA4 is higher than GTA5?

It was 2008 compared to 2013. Huge difference in how reviewers operated.

Adjusted for score deflation, BOTW has the highest metacritic of all-time.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Umm... It's 4.5/5. Although maybe you're joking. I don't even know anymore with this review thread stuff.

I hope he is joking but then again, it's Oblivious.

 

[Crazyorloco]

4700 posts and going for a review thread? Wow.

Just a note:

That Last of Us thread took 2 days to reach 4,000.

In one day (which is not over yet) this zelda thread has surpassed 4,000 posts.

This game is the definition of a system seller.

Lots of people bought their Wii U long ago just to be able to play the new Zelda. It was intended for the Wii U, it should be available for the Wii U. At least if Nintendo wants the customer to support their company in the future.

 

[Canucked]

These reviews. Wow. I was able to order a Special Edition but I won't have a switch until I can find one.

I wanna play it so bad.

 

[Albo]

Someone needs to make an edit of this with all these 10s.

 

[ekim]

When will the OT go up?

 

[brandonh83]

OP is putting it together right now.

 

[Trailblazer34]

Damn, this is like citizen Kane levels of praise, can't wait

 

[RowdyReverb]

My history with Zelda is limited to playing LTTP for the first time a couple years ago and all of the vids of this game have gotten me very excited for it. I think it legitimately looks like a fun game, even though I wouldn't consider myself a fan of the series

 

[Deckard Chapel]

Gold.

 

[marrec]

OP is putting it together right now.

If Uber doesn't include this image I'm going to fire them.

 

[Fledz]

How old are you?

19, why does that matter?

Spoiler

I'm 30.

Why would you tell her this?

 

[Nanashrew]

Tony Hawk 2 was legitimately an excellent game.

 

[Trey]

When will the OT go up?

When the metacritic falls to a 97.

 

[TheMink]

OP is putting it together right now.

I feel liked I have lived an entire life waiting for this OT.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Tony Hawk 2 was legitimately an excellent game.

Yes, it brought the noise.

Seriously, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 existed in a different era of reviews. It deserved that 98 for the era.
