You don't run into them very often. When you do, it usually doesn't take away from the experience (as in, there's nothing important happening). There is one framerate problem that is a dealbreaker, though. Every once in a while, vs Moblins, the framerate goes literally to 0...

But you are right. BotW deserves lower scores for it. Like, it's a technical issue; the easiest issue to find in games.

Maybe if you rate a game a 90 it would be almost inconsequential to worry about deducting for minor frame-rate issues.  Rating a game a 100, though, should hold more weight.  It implies virtual flawlessness.  Even with my favorite games of all-time, I only go to a 98.

Rather than the meta-score itself, it's all those perfect scores that I hold in distain.  For me, that hurt the integrity of the publication that posts them.

the thing is that the meta score and reviews are for the switch version, that's the version that runs smoothly with the typical framerate dips of open world games. The wii u version is the version with the bad perfomance and reviewers didn't have that version, so it can't hurt the integrity of the publication.
