A large chunk?

Yes, a large chunk.  Not a majority, mind you, but it's quite large.  Some of the hateful comments had over 500 thumbs up the last time I saw.  He's since deleted them.  I'm sure there were comments with higher counts.  Then, there are those on other sites bashing the guys review.  It's even sadder seeing some of the more sane Nintendo fans on here basically saying it was a clickbait review or "what did he expect."  And the only reason given is that THEY liked the new breakable weapons, inventory management, and stanima bar (though, I believe they would have loved it if it was exactly like the classic Link, so it doesn't really matter), as if there is no validity in Jim's opinions and he should just shut up.  So, let's just say it's MUCH larger than it should be.  Those people who were offended should have been mocked or ridiculed into obsurity, not backed up by "legitimate"  Nintendo fans making excuses for them.

And let's just admit the facts.  There has never been a fanbase, that I know of, go so freaking nuts over a 7/10.  While it is never acceptable, at least reviews people have gone nuts over are 5 or below for something many see as good.  It was just a pathetic display.  

Can you point me to some of these comments?

Can't say. I'm still playing the game.

Read the bold.  If you go to the review on his site, one has been saved in the featured comment sections for being a more upvoted comment.  The actual comment was erased, though.

Unsightly. Mariah's got issues. I do wonder though what was the score prior to it becoming a featured comment? I just downvoted it so it can still be voted on. One should note that despite my downvote, the score on her comment did not change.

Mind digging up the hateful comment with the 500 thumbs up?

 

Also, I'm tempted to read the whole of Jim's review but I fear spoilers.

Are you talking about the comments made by Anita Sarkeesian? If that's the case, I find her comments to be silly really.

Yeah but it's not just her - there's been other articles about the game being transphobic. I always figured these are your typical SJWs complaints but I haven't played the game myself.

I've only heard the comments from Anita, so I don't know what other things people are saying. From what I've played though, I'd say 'not really'. All there is to go with is the usual 'Link going on an adventure' while Zelda is somewhere else and needs help. There are other cool and interesting female characters besides Zelda in the game.

It's by far the least sexist Zelda game.  The story is probably the most mature of any of the Zelda games.  Not sure about the transphobic stuff, maybe there was something when you are forced to cross dress, but I honestly don't remember.  If you have a source please post it.

Like I said, that's going to be really impossible as he erased all the really bad ones with little to no constuctive criticism.  I think his video actually brought even more hate to his page, since he shows that it in his vid with only 1 upvote.  Then, again, he may have caught the screenshot of the comment before his review was hit by a ton of fanboys.  Either way, even ~150 upvotes is way too many.  And, really, I wouldn't mind all the trolls/fanboys.  They are everywhere.  No, what made this worse was not only the severity of their attack, but also the more sane Nintendo fans making excuses for their behavior.  Acting like Jim deserved it for not only giving it a 7, but also knocking the score down to 97.  Either way you cut it, it was a pathetic display.



Framerate is just the most absurd and stupid reason to attack any game.
It´s just like 4k and 60 fps and now the HDR stupidity.

Things to generate debate amoung forums, and obscure bigger dificiencies on the games.

Before PSpro who cared about HDR????
No one single gamer.

And now it seems every gamer cares about HDR.....

For me it will be always gameplay first.
And i am happy to see that gamers are getting tired of all that bullshit.
I am happy because of Nioh and Nier now are among the best games this gen, because those are not tecnichal marvels, those are just fun Games to play.

I am happy because Mass Effect a game that get the EA touch.
And now that brand is destroyed, becuase is not fun to play. Despite being on superior hardware with superior performances.
