Is it because mario (3d) ans zelda have 3 perfect scores people say this? I mean every1 last gen were saying SMG/TLoU are the GoaT (like in agreement) SM64/LoZ OoT are self explanatory. Skyward Sword i can see people getting somewhat worked up over but even that they only gave 20 10/10 scores away.

 

3D Mario Games made: 6 (7 if remake ds counts) and 3 got perfect scores on EDGE.

 

Zelda Games: over 20, 3 of which are perfect scores. (If only 3D zelda then 3 out of 6)

 

I mean are they really infamous for doing that? (I dont kno EDGE too well)

A lot of people dislike EDGE.  I know they don't fit my tastes very well at all.

Persona 5 -80, Jade Empire - 70, Metroid 3 - 70, Fallout 3 - 70, Mass Effect - 70, Valkyria Chronicles - 70, Witcher 3 - 80, Dragon Age: Origins 50 (fuck off, EDGE), Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 - 70, Gran Turismo 4 - 70 (fuck off, EDGE), Ori and the Blind Forest - 70, Dark Cloud 2 - 60, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - 60 ... but an 80 for Bladestorm?  A 90 for Little Big Planet 3?  A 90 for Mario + Rabbids?

Some series, they always give great scores, other series always get low scores.  They're basically Jim Sterling: The Magazine.  

I wouldn't say any of these scores are egregious.

Cetainly a bit of lowballing, however none of these games are perfect and you could make pretty good cases for why some of them deserve it.

Dragon Age for example: While I love the writing and choice that it gives you the optimisation was dreadful, and for a AAA studio the game looked borderline middle-market.

I've only ever heard good things about Mario + Rabbids.
