Yes, btu MGS5 is not Konami, it is Kojima. Let's see his reviews of any Konami game after Kojima left.

But the reason his review is being lambasted is not the 7 score. I and many others could care less about the 7. I mean there are lower scroes and the game is still a 97. Not many games can say that.

The reason he is being lambasted is because of the falacies in his review. He comes off, and always does, as a condescending jerk. He talks like he is superior to everyone else and all other reviewers adn gamers are blinded and wrong and he will tell us how he is right. Whether that is schtick or how he truly is, the point is, if you are going to come off like that you need to make sure there are no holes in your argument. There are a ton of holes in his critiques for this game. And any factual things are in the total nitpick area. Then the fact he comes out with a jimquisition less than a day after his review further proves he gave the score on purpose to get a reaction.

See I don't give a crap about the 6/10 or the other low one. Whatevs. They are nobody sites and as I said the game is a 97. Dont' care if 97 or 98, I have the game and I love it. But this Jim guy is a known bigger guy and thus its annoying when a person who shoudl be professional is doing a click bait. But I guess look at our MSM, they are click bait machines.

His review is very professional and validates his points. I even saw a clip of Zelda gameplay and that weapon durability thing looks annoying and constantly interrupts the flow of gameplay. Also the world looks empty compared to most modern open world games.

Jim is sassy but he always has a point. I have disagreed with his reviews such s Assassin's Creed 2 which he gave a 4.5 out of ten and is one of my favourite games of all time and Killzone 3 which he gave a 10 out of ten but I would give an 8 out of ten. Still the opinion he presented inthose reviews were accurate, like his complaints about Assassin's Creed 2's combat was accurate though that didn't bother me in the game but it did bother him. Also his Horizon Zero Dawn review is accurate and I agree with most of what he said in his review.

That's funny because it was his Assassin's Creed 2 review that first endeared him to me. Everyone was salivating over the game, but Sterling pointed out that its huge open world was populated almost exclusively with filler.

Did he really give Killzone 3 a 10/10? Dude is all over the place.

About BotW: I strongly urge you to play the game. Watching a YouTube clip doesn't do the game justice. Trust me, the game is far from empty. And breakable weapons don't interrupt the flow of gameplay. I'd argue they make combat all the more interesting, unpredictable, and spontaneous. Your mileage may vary, though.
