Not always.  Spirit Tracks didn't review too well for a Zelda game for example: http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/the-legend-of-zelda-spirit-tracks

 

I absolutely love the game though but I love just about any Zelda game.

turns out a lot of reviewees to.

Cool. Maybe that's because they're great games?

This is why I wish games used letter grades instead of numbered scores.

An A+ doesn't mean perfect. It means outstanding. No room for misinterpretation.
10/10 does mean perfect, which is a stupid way to look at and consider art.

I just consider a 10/10 or A+ as indicating extreme recommendation to the greatest degree.

There's no such thing as a perfect game...

...Except for Resident Evil 4. That's a perfect game... Specifically the Wii version... It's written in stone somewhere... Other than that though, no perfect game exists.

I mean, I believe that games like Tetris are objectively perfect games, but that's not really an interesting discussion to have. A perfect game doesn't mean a superior game. It's just a game without objective flaws.

Many people do. They're fun games.

They give me weapons and gadgets to play with, a world and dungeons to run around in, and fun characters that need my help and I feel like a hero helping them with their problems.

The bottom line is it is a Zelda game so it'll review well no matter what.

Yeah.

Funny how much that game influenced one of the best aspects of BotW.

Only people who care are the fanboys who claim a game runs at 20 fps because of rare drops.

You want to know an ACTUAL game which runs at 20 fps all the time? Snake eater. Guess what the score is on metacritic? 91.

For what it's worth, that was only during cutscenes. The game itself ran at 30 fps during gameplay. I've consistently experienced frame rate drops in BotW playing TV mode especially during combat.

I thought it ran at 20 fps for the PS2 and 3DS?

It's been so long since I played the original version.

Didn't OoT run less than 20fps and that used to be the GOAT before BoTW?



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Open world games get a huge pass when it comes to frame rate.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I didn't play it. What is it?

Edit: ...dressing?

It's dressing, yeah.

Frames do drop noticeably at certain parts especially Hateno and Kakariko village, but overall, the framerate is fine

Overall framerate in Wii U version is terrible. Hyrule castle, Lost Wood, Camel dungeon, jungle area, forest areas, each stable, each town, each battle, each explosion - runs at 20 fps, sometimes even worse during rainy wheather or heavy physics.

That's not my "overall" experience with the Wii U version, but whatever you say.
