It's stupid but understandable, to be honest. I'm pretty sure this guy knew his review would ignite some sort of reaction, in the hope that it would get a lot of clicks to his site. And sure, you can say that not everybody likes open world games, or thinks that the zelda games are for 6-year-olds. But a professional reviewer should be able to rate a game objectively and place himself in the shoes of people who do actually care about the genre. Personally, I never played any Zelda game as it's just not my thing, but from seeing gameplay clips of BOTW, I can at least understand what the fuzz is all about.

I see alot of accusations of click baiting. As no one probably says it directly, i will. If you say that, you are part of the problem. 

The jimquisition is highly sucessful. Jim does not need extra clicks when his shows get 400k weekly views. Lots of people, be it Zelda fans, No man's sky fans or shitty indie developers who don't want criticism seem to be unable to leave him be. It's just one review. Get over it. He does not give scores because of him hating on Nintendo or someone else. This is a person who was just in a law suit because some dipshit developer couldn't take criticism and he showed him lenience when he could have outright destroyed his life. 

You don't know Jim and these click bait accusations just go to prove that. He doesn't need them. He has douchebad indies always making a show for him. His review is totally honest. Sorry if you can't take the criticism, but what he says is totally legitimate.

I don't care about Zelda and if he likes it or not, I'm saying that he knew it would trigger a response when he decided to give a game that is getting 10s across the board a mediocre 7.  It's naive to think that he didn't do it on purpose, and you know what... it's kinda working out for him as I'm sure it got his site a lot of attention (even if it is negative). I do get his complaints but the things that were frustrating to him, like getting stuck on a mountain because it started raining, is exactly what most people will think is pretty awesome and unique about the game.
