Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why BotW's review scores will be lower than expected

I expect some very mixed reviews but not because of the points above or the comparably bad graphics but because they changed the well working Zelda formula so much that this game isn't a Zelda game anymore. And long time Zelda fans will not like that.

Except almost every long-time Zelda fan is excited for this game based on trailers, and trying the game out at varoius events.

Out of all those points, the only one that could and should be a legitimate point is #5, more so for the massive world aspect. I've heard reviews criticize games for having big but empty worlds, lacking towns or life, and that makes sense. If a reviewer docks points for any of the other points, I don't think they're a review worth trusting.

Not sure what the final score you will think it will be, but I'm pretty sure it can hit at least 90

I believe it will hit 94 on Switch and 92 on the Wii U. My Wii U prediction is 50/50 since it may be higher due to less reviews

So is this already factoring in that you think it will be lower than expected?

Nope. I think it will hit 94/92. However, if I am right and reviews show signs of nitpicking, I think it will hover to the high eighties

Oh okay, makes sense

I think it will hit 94, and being a Zelda game, I have doubts it would get lower than 90s
