BotW is going to finally dethrone OoT. I have been a gamer for a looong time and this game is definitely going to live up to the hype. This is not another No Mans Sky, where it obviously has glaring issues, yet people still ate it up. No, this game has had so much exposure and hands-on by people everywhere and yet you would be hard-pressed to find someone say something negative about the game. Experience over the years tells me this game is the real deal and that it will deliver more than I even expect. This will be the game of the generation.
Zelda will still score well but reviewers get more harsh when a genre has more competition to review against or comparatively to. Zelda has never had that type of competition until now since the WItcher 3, Skyrim and Final Fantasy 15 came out. They were lucky to have been alone in their type of open world for some time, but that time is definitely over now. They most likely have added mechanics that are from newer games as well as their old ones.
I don't really think any of your points is relevant for the score

Its tough to do that when there is a lot of competition. Oot came out in a time when what it was doing was novel. People forget that review scores are a reflection of the time period and not a basis for all time.

I agree, but I still believe that it will happen. Nintendo is hitting all the best nostalgia points and improving on them. It also helps that the game has taken so long and has only improved each showing. People are desparate for this game, for good reason.
If fucking Skyward Sword could wind up with a 93, I have no doubt that BotW will at least wind up with a 90.

Open world doesn't make Zelda BotW same like other games on market, 3D Zelda games were always pretty different to rest of games on market.

Its open world fantasy action with soft rpg elements. There will be some overlap when they are reviewing. All of those games learned from Zelda and I am sure Nintendo has been watching the list of great open world fantasy rpg's that have come out. Zelda is the basis for open world RPG even though it isnt considered one itself. There are also no leveling mechanics for your character.

I find it funny how you automatically assume I'm a troll when I stated that these are nitpicks that MAY happen.

You don't know what you're talking dude, none of you reasons matter when reviewing a game. Game reviews are based on how well the game is made, is it fun to play? is there enough content? are graphics, sound and storyline good??? That's what matter and a range starting in the low 70's?????????? FOR A ZELDA GAME?????? yeah right... |
Perhaps if you didn't just skip everything I said, you'd realize the low seventy's to one hundred comment was referring to single reviews, not the overall score.
A bummer how I'm automatically tied to being a troll just because I say something that wasn't 100% correct.
