In giving perfect scores? Yes they are. Only 2 of them since 1997. French are among the harshest out there... Sometimes even though I speak the same language, people from France annoy the fuck out of me They're so critical over everything

In the school system, a 16/20 is considered excellent, average at 12-13...

Yeah, I'm from Canada, but I studied at a French high school for three months, and the way that they marked was very different! In Canada, we go by percentage, and my average was like 95%, so going to France where 14 and 15 were considered to be very good marks surprised me.

Well, having no friends/social life allows for a lot more time to study and do schoolwork!

Wow they fired the guy for giving WW a perfect score? Wonder how they felt later when the game was finally appreciated for what it is and not blinded by the art style. Hope that guy got a good new job.

How do we know SE was joking? Just curious. Not trying to start some fight or anything.

But good for BotW if the score if for that. Only like 3 days left or so. So excited.

Watched a little of Horizon yesterday while going into blackout mode for Zelda. That looks pretty good. Hoping you can turn off all the indicators though. Annoying imo seeing all of the icons showing you plants, rocks, twigs, ect. The goal icon in front of you every 20 yards and directing you constantly to the goal. Those things annoy me. I would think you could turn them off. Also as a reviewer stated, the whistle to the tall grass/silent take down is way too OP. Otherwise looks beautiful, story is intriguing, world looks interesting and I want to play it someday.

I really don't know to be honest. It's just that the Twitter comment from jeuxvideo.com clearly points to BotW being awarded that score (the 14 year gap with Wind Waker correlates). But I dunno. It could be Nier and we've all got fucked xD

It seems obvious to me that SE is joking, he wouldn't answer like that if that was true.

It's like they know they can't compete with Zelda (Oops, I might trigger some people)
