as monumental? Its will be even more monumental since its literally botw but improved90-95. I don't think it'll be as monumental as breath of the wild.
Likely a blast from start to finish.
Skyward Sword is the poster child for Zelda score inflation. Its not a bad game but its more of an 8/10 between Fii who wont shut up, the annoying as hell ad nauseum alert messages, the optional skyisland exploration, some meh fetch quests and the Demise padding it certainly isn't near perfect. Loved the motion controls and the puzzles in the "open world" areas though and the story really pulls at your heartstrings....People expect Tears of the Kingdom to be the biggest game of the year (they're wrong because it will be FF16, but I'm not here to argue that).
With this biggest game of the year almost here, how do you expect it to score in reviews?
Past mainline Zelda game scores:
link to the past: 95
ocarina of time: 99
majora's mask: 96
wind waker: 96
twilight princess: 95
skyward sword: 93 (doesnt everyone hate this one lol, how did it score a 93)
breath of the wild: 97
You tease you...I'm not very far, but the opening might be one of the best Zelda openings ever. I will say no more.
i thought skyward sword was FAR better than botwThe fact that skyward sword has 93 tells it all. "Professional" critics always give nintendo games extra points. Especially if it has mario or zelda in the title. I'd say it's a solid 80-87 but reviews will be 90+
Lol the anti-Nintendo version of SenjutsuSage and I hate BOTW hahaha.Every Nintendo site will give it 10/10
Every non Nintendo site will give it to their in house Nintendo fanboy to review, and they will give it 9/10
User reviews will all be 10/10 because switch users haven't had anything else to play for the past 12 months and will give anything that drops the highest score possible
I don't dislike BOTW, it's just this is how games on switch are reviewed nine times out of tenLol the anti-Nintendo version of SenjutsuSage and I hate BOTW hahaha.
It's just that they might kinda deserve it, despite our own grievances you know?I don't dislike BOTW, it's just this is how games on switch are reviewed nine times out of ten
I'm about 3-4 hours in. Preface this by saying I adored BOTW and think it was absolutely deserving of the scores it got.So no one in here played or watched it yet? I want to hear their opinion about it.
People get so mad that Nintendo actually makes great games. Can't handle it. Same thing is starting to happen to FROM.It's just that they might kinda deserve it, despite our own grievances you know?
Is that you Jonathon Blow?It's Zelda. Regardless of the innovation, effort and quality from all other games released this year, if there's a 3D Zelda title it'll get all the 10/10s and clear the GOTY awards. It's kinda bullshit but that's just how it goes. I think if ToTK wins that major Goty awards, it'll prove a point that they can pretty much release the same Zelda game as last time, but just with more features, and that's all it takes.
I do love Zelda, a lot. But I hate that when it comes to honeymoon phases, no other video game in existence is as critic proof as Zelda.
Or it says that it's just an amazing game regardless of it being derivative? I mean can we think of the last game to win a bunch of GOTYs that wasn't derivative? I guess It Takes Two but I'll take six BOTWs over that type of innovation.It's kinda bullshit but that's just how it goes.

Been playing TotK for the last day and it improves on the first game in every way. It is more innovative than anything that I have played maybe ever. Some puzzles require you to make what you need to complete them. It is doing things on the switch that make it chug along but I had no idea could be done on a switch. It brings back things that fans have been begging for and also introduces very new things. The game is larger than the first one and by a significant amount. This is definitely my game of the year so far replacing Octopath II or Re4.
I don't know how it will end but so far this is one of those rare sequels that is better than the original. I thought the first game was a bit too quiet but they use the music beautifully in this one. It's the little things.Looking at it, it looks very fun. I'm just not really blown away by it. I also wasn't blown away by BotW either. That game game fell apart for me after 10+ hours. I still enjoyed it but it went from a 10/10 experience to an 8/10 by the end.

Most of these games just scored well cause they’re excellent games and superior to most of what the rest of the industry puts out. Might not be your cup of tea, but all excellent games.People saying the score will be inflated because it’s Nintendo/Zelda, how is that why different from games by From, Rockstar, Naughty Dog, Sony, etc.? Beloved developers and series all score higher than they should. It’s not unique to a Zelda or Nintendo
Like Ragnarok scored higher than it should have cause it’s god of war and Sony. Elden Ring scored much higher than it should have cause it’s from. And so on.
I want to spoil something so badly but in my opinion that one thing takes the game to at least a 90 by itself. I'd be mad if it was spoiled for me so I wont do it.From what I’ve heard, it is better in every aspect so I’d say it will go for an aggregated score of 95+
