Stop using the "it's on another console" argument, it's petty and the same could be used to you. Perhaps your 235 hours is only because it's on Nintendo. Fact is, His critiques are valid, compare those aspects to many other games this gen and BoTW falls well short. At best that game is a 9, an 8 if it's lucky because the flaws are around every turn and the fun never eclipses them quiet enough to full hide them like the no mans sky weapon degradation just without the annoying voice. The yellow scores on MC were a bit to harsh on it but almost every other score was waaaay to liberal with its praise almost as if they played the game through the honeymoon period and then reviewed. |
The thing is, I don't have to take your and his word for it. Most points he made, I disagree with. Most outlets also had no problem with them, so you better make a more in depth argument other than "I don't like thing". Even with the weapon degradation, the reason why it is not a problem is because A: It makes you be careful and strategic with your weapon usage (which is survival, the theme of the game) and after 235h you find that there are more weapons that you can carry. So this is why I don't take your guys' word for it, when presented with weak arguments from the start. So it makes me conclude other things, A: a bias. You don't like this game rating higher than your favourite game. You downplay it purposefully but not fully (game is still great guys! Just overrated!) to not appear fully against it. B: Other motives which play into contrarianism, attention, elitism. Etc. In conclusion, you can have your opinion on the game, but I can also choose to ignore and not take your word. Also I find it funny that you're talking about a honeymoon period, when the game is still getting awards. You'd think that they would look back at the game after a year wouldn't you?
