Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Prediction: Zelda BOTW will not reach 90 metacritic

Plot twist: Zelda gets 0 on Meta, and then the world implodes.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

It just needs one single bad 50 score like Horizon got from USGamer. One single bad review and the 90 is out of reach. After the (mostly) very positive previews this got less likely but it still could happen for clickbait reasons alone. And for the fact that it is not a Dark Souls, because Dark Souls players cannot enjoy other combat styles anymore.

worst reviewd Zelda received 92 score.

Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap, Link Between Worlds, Phantom Hourglass are all below 92... in fact I'm not sure what game you're referring to as being the worst reviewed as I can't even find a Zelda title that got a metascore of 92.

Zelda BotW is 3D home console Zelda, its very obvious I was thinking at 3D Zelda's.

Actually it is, after incredible positive previews for this game, where media saying its looks like best Zelda game after OoT and actually can surprise OoT and fact that worst reviewd Zelda received 92 score, its very obvious that he trying to make negative Nintendo thread again with statment that BotW want reeach 90.

But see I disagree there.....heck I think personally that BoTW will settle at a 89-92 with a 92 being the highest but no more than 90. All the love it has received is great but most games get that now a day and still only hit mid to high 80s. So I can't say just because it has got some great previews and praise that it will get a 90+ for sure even if it is Zelda lol. Either way it will be an amazing game!

Well you can disagree, but fact is that last year Zelda TP HD, thats remaster of 10 yeast old Zelda game that definitely didn't aged best, received 86 score, and now we have brand new 3D Zelda for which previews are saying that's looks line best Zelda after OoT or even better game. Actually at this point it's almost certain that game will get 90+, actually I don't expecting lower than 95.

That's not true, Uncharted 4 had a 50 score and is a +90 game

It's not just because of US Gamer, though. There were more reviewers that gave a score below 90 than there were reviewers giving a score above that (a score of exactly 90 having no impact on if it hits the mark or not.) A score very close to 90, above or below, seems to be fair, in that regard (though Metacritic should really implement a weighting system that reduces the impact of outliers.)



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Oh no I know that remaster did well I just think while the game looks and will be amazing it won't get the high score most are expecting. Of course I could be wrong but heck we will see in very soon! None the less it will be an amazing game that I will get later on down the line when the Switch drops in price and I pick one up.

And I am the odd ball anyway seeing as I think Zelda OoT was not the best of all the Zelda games ever and felt it was pretty over rated.....I get yelled at about that by my boys quite often lol. But this one I am very much so looking forward to.

I made a thread saying the game might be lower than expected due to annoying nitpicks we see in this generation 



0% chance that it will be below 90.

If wrong, I will eat a bologna sandwich.
