| specialk said: Personally I don't put it past reviewers to lower a score just to get attention. They trade in attention after all. I don't know if that's what Jim did or anything, but even so, who cares? It's a number out of another number. It won't effect my enjoyment of the game. |
Jim has 400k views on jimquisition, has a very sucessful patreon and if you follow him at all, you'd know he is one of the few reviewers that can't be bought. He is independent and sucessful. He has no reason to go for clicks.
He is simply honest. I trust him more than the hordes of Zelda fans telling me how this is the best game ever. And i have it! It's an enjoyable game, but it's not a new standard for games. It has some visible flaws. But people acting this way, just brings even more light to them. BotW biggest achievement for me is simply the colorful art style that makes it different from other sand boxes. But this is like the FF fans saying FFXV was awesome. It wasn't. It was a mess, and it's good aspects are now swamped in a sea of lies.
Not saying Zelda is a mess at all, but it's necessary to keep perspective when analysing a game. Hype scores are something i loathe and probably many others because it leads them to buy games they ultimately won't enjoy.
