insert 7.8/10 too much water joke here

In all seriousness, they can be hypocrites sometimes, but what really boggles my mind is how much different their score for the original was compared to this one, since I've heard that they improved some things in the Great Bay Temple as well. People have had a problem with their scores for awhile and they are a part of why I'm not a huge fan of scores, since most people pay more attention to that than the points made in the review.  IGN has more problems than just review scores though.

 

Games age, and sometimes they don't age well. What might have been a good game/ good game mecanics or whatever 10 years ago can be outdated now. The game has to compete with modern games and be judged according to modern standards now so a difference in reviewscores  to 10 years ago makes sense imo.

That said i haven't played the original Majoras Mask nor the 3ds version nor have i read the review, so what do i know.

Yeah, that makes sense.  I still wish that they would stop giving out review scores though so that more people would see the points that they listed rather than just a few quick notes and a number out of 10.
