Forums - Nintendo - Zelda BotW: Can It Actually Score a 98/99 on Metacritic? GOAT? (Based on previews)

A lot of critics also said Skyward Sword was the best ever. Then I played it.

No damn way, 95 at most!

Ha, even if it truly was the best game of all time (it isn't), do you honestly expect games media in 2017 not to take a bite of that delicious clickbait score and thus, wave after wave of fanboys from all necks of the gaming woods to laugh, cry, shout and scream?

The only game that would ever score well in this day and age is one that caters exclusively to the media and goes out of it's way to massage their egos and reassure them that they hold all the power, not those pesky youtube influencers, or those peasant gamers.



Of course it's possible. Even 1-2-Switch could get 99. Maybe even 100. It's just very unlikely, because even a few 9/10 would take the score down to 97 or 96.



Whatever. People should care a lot less about reviews and scores and just have fun with the games you choose.

Reviews are full of flaws and fluff that are pretty worthless. It's just an opinion, an opinion as worth as our own opinions. What if they liked or not? It won't change anything in regards of our enjoyment.

How many great games have we could pass just because reviewers didn't like?

I make bold threads.... Half come out true lmao. 96 at the lowest now



Still 98 with 37 reviews, TBone you have a gift from heaven or something, how can you be right on the wildest predictions? This is Splatoon 2.0



Tbone, I admire your willingness to make bold threads and make them realistic XD. It might not reach 98 in the end, but it won't be far.

You think it can hold this score?
Uncharyed 4 had a 96 with around this amount of reviews xP

Well, let's see, anyway, the game will be definitely higher than what I dropped my prediction by after Horizon, but maybe exactly where I predicted it to be after E3 2014.

The fact that he is right with 37 reviews is already a win for Tbone, this was an insanely wild prediction

edit: 44 reviews lol
