Goodnightmoon said: There is trap in this thread, if Horizon has better meta, than wow, Horizon is better than Zelda, what a great game, however if Zelda has better meta (and it will), is "just because is Zelda", yeah, you gotta love the way people make its own rules to win yes or yes. Trap. |
In my case I have good reason. I played the allegedly best game of all time (LoZ OoT) and I didn't like it very much. But y'know the internet says it's the best ever. So IMO Zelda gets good reviews because Zelda.
If Horizon gets 90+ on Meta and gets a higher score than Zelda then that actually would be a huge achievement for a developer that has completely changed its focus and that has a reputation for putting out competent but not amazing shooters, whose last game scored a rather disappointing 73.
Also a developer that has a high, and probably deserved, reputation that puts out a game that is below expectations that is disappointing even if it's got an objectively good metascore. If Uncharted 4 only gets an 82 metascore people will be disasppointed, and no doubt certain people will take much joy in pointing and laughing at such a horrible score for Uncharted 4. So it's not like Nintendo or Zelda are uniquely burdened by expectations of producing 90+ meta games.
