People's reaction to negative Zelda reviews reminded me of this gem.

The problem with certain reviews is that they have blatantly incorrect information listed as negative aspects of a game. It's not so much the score as it is the content of the review, which in Jim's case, had a lot of misinformation in it. With that said, people should just accept his bias and move on. Not everyone is going to be fair.

What kind of misinformation was there in Jim's review?

How can he have bias when he says that he generally likes Zelda games, but BotW simply isn't his *favorite* Zelda game due to some weaknesses? Do you understand that positive bias is a problem as well? There are people who think that Nintendo games or Zelda games (made by Nintendo) are perfect by default, and that is simply not true. These same people are now attacking someone who dares to not give the game the 10/10 that it "should" get? Are you frigging kidding me? DDossing and whatever, that's just childish and petty. A dick move in any circumstance. Unbelievable. It seems that the main thing for these people is not to enjoy their Zelda, but to force all others to praise it too, lest they be punished. What's wrong with these people? Are they *that* scared for Nintendo's future that they would do literally anything to make sure that there's no criticism?

 

The guy has been ranting against Nintendo, and their fans for a while now. He has a clear bias.

For starters, he complains about the difficulty and how, after upgrading armor and completing shrines, most enemies can kill Link in one hit. This simply isn't true. Aside from a few boss type characters I can't think of any enemies that can kill Link in one hit once you put a minimal amount of effort into the game. As I am now, no enemy can come close to killing me in one hit. 

He points out that you're forced to wait a long time for rain to end. This may be true in some cases but it's very rare that Link is in an area where you can't start a fire and skip past the rain. It just feels like he doesn't understand the things you can do in the game to combat the hazards. 

He claims the game often forces the player to be side tracked or go out of their way in the game. I'm not really sure how a game that is completely open world can have this complaint. I get side tracked because I want to, but the game never ever forces you to deviate from the path you're on. You play the game as you want to play it. 

He makes the odd statement that shrines have to be completed as soon as you find them as there is no way to track which ones you've completed. This is also completely false. 

As for Nintendo fans who can't accept the review, I'm not sure what you want me to say there. I didn't defend them and I already said people need to learn how to move on. I'm a Nintendo fan and a Zelda fan, I read Jim's review and disregarded it because of the misinformation as well as how much our opinions differ. I have no desire to read his site or reviews, so I wont. Attacking his website is indeed childish.
