I don't get the feeling the Jim review is click bait. I think you just have to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to be masturbatory about Zelda

the Slant review isn't particularly good though, you could make an argument about that.

Way to strawman. Nobody is arguing that it is clickbait. 

 

someone calls them clickbait two comments up from my original comment

I don't think his in particular is clickbait.  For one his site is ad free, the clicks gain him nothing.  It just seems he didn't entirely enjoy the game.  My issue is I find his arguments for his stance very unconvincing.  All opinions are subjective, but how well or poorly they are argued determines their value, imo, and his is quite lacking.  

The Slant review, though, is pretty garbage and imo was absolutely done for clicks to make up for it being late.

As for those calling for the removal of clickbait reviews, that's a dangerous path.  I do think that having, say, an anual evaluation of the quality of each site's work to determine whether they reach a quality standard would be useful.  But can't be much more than that.

So, Jim Sterling's site is actually being DDoS'd because of the Zelda review. The amount of effort some people will go to attack reviews they don't agree with is just baffling at times.

I wonder if we'll get a petition



Still wouldn't be surprised if it drops to 96

Everything's possible when exclusives are concerned I suppose. Just feels like a complete waste of time to me.

..And I was looking forward to never having to edit this thread ever again. Silly me.



bet: lost

well they both just destroyed the credibility they had

one for inmature
the other because clickbaiting



From the comments he made on twitter, it seems he made that review to provoke.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

Hey at least we can say that BOTW is the game with most perfect scores ever made!

How many 100's should the game get in order to recover the 98? I called around 15. Can somebody do the calculations?
