Not sure if this was posted yet, but it was a very good review from Forbes.com

Seeing the 98 score put a big smile on my face. I'm so happy that it's reviewing incredibly well.

Not that it really matters at this point but I did some calculating to see if the average reviews are true to the 98%. Turns out it's just barely at 98%, by getting 97.52% with the 61 current reviews averaged, so hey game reviewers! Give this game a 0 so it'll drop down to a 95 so my prediction stays true!

You can't really do an average like that with Metacritic because they give some publications more weight than others. So a 100% from IGN is probably worth more than a 100% from Knowwhereville Daily News.



Signature goes here!

98. Holy fuck. Either the hype has taken everyone, or this is OoT levels of greatness.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Only? You act like they are missing a score that will drag down the avg. The game has all 10s with a couple of 9s and betweens. Not 1 so far under a 9.

 

Lets not do this

Sweet Catcher in the Rye what is this?

I doubt that the Metascore of 98 will last, but this will still probably end above 95. The only games the past five years to come close to that are GTA5, The Last of Us, MGS5, and Bioshock Infinite.

This is going to be the game that ends up on every Top Wii U AND Top Switch games list from here on out.

Based on the things I am seeing on the web it is well deserved and a fresh of new breath for Zelda so well deserved.

Kinda bitter though with USgame review. Every time I see that. I can't help but get frustrated. I want to smack Usgamer. I hope the OP removes it. lol
