It actually only dropped after gameblog.fr gave it a 9/10, but Jim was the main reason right before that.

I must say, I've read many Jimquisition review summaries on Metacritic and always found them ridiculously dumb focusing on all the wrong things. After his BotW review I thought that that isn't how a professional reviewer should be doing this. It's more like a Metacritic user review but without the 0.

It's not just the summaries that do that apparently. Just read the review and he spends about as much time writing about useless side notes as he does about the actual game. 

''While the remaster gives thanks to “the original Nintendo GameCube and Wii Version development staff,” that’s all it gives thanks to.''

Really? Fuck me, what's with people's massively fragile egos. The original developers are part of a team, that team is credited by the team that did the remaster, who belong to the same company and it's not enough. All the acknowledgement this game has received over the years isn't enough? There was 1 person on twitter from the original team who complained about it and now all these muppets want to hop on the bandwagon. Get over yourself.

EDIT:

''For fuck’s sake can all these wealthy game companies just do right by the people who make the very games they profit from? Just a little bit?''

next paragraph

''At $40, Metroid Prime Remastered isn’t a huge expense, but when you consider the Wii version contained all three games in the trilogy for $50 while separate remasters would amount to $120, the value prospect rather starkly drops off. It all comes down to your mileage, really - you may consider that sum a reasonable price for a glossier redo of such a regarded series. I’m not entirely sure I’m of that mind.''

And none of this has anything to do with the game itself or it's quality. There are to many critics who think the price of the game should be considered when giving it a rating. I also hate it how he gets vulgar for no reason.
