The way I see it, an 8/10 is acceptable if you nitpick. However anything less for BotW is clickbait or trolling in my eyes. Someone can dislike something but still acknowledge the quality of the game.
Example, I find GTAV boring as all hell. I have more hours in plating The Order 1886 than I do that game...and I have it on both the PS3 and PS4. I just cannot get into it, but I still acknowledge that it is a masterpiece for what it is.
Having said that, maybe I am harder than most people when it comes to good writing or reviewing. Unfortunately not everyone looks at the big picture and act purly on emotion, childish or otherwise. |
I have to disagree. I adore BotW. I'm seriously considering it to unseat Ocarina of Time, which has occupied my top spot for two decades.
But...there are some people who genuinely don't like it. They might be turned off by open world games in general, or by the game's difficulty, or by any number of things. Anything less than an 8/10 need not be trolling or click-bait. As long as someone articulates WHY they don't like it, then I'm fine with it.
Everyone has different tastes and priorities. It's all subjective in the end. There's no universal definition of "quality" or "greatness."
