I do find it sad that people can't just congratulate Nintendo on BOTWs success as a game. Many salty users think it's only because it has Zelda in its name...what about Zelda CDI or Triforce Heroes? Maybe a highly talented staff set out to create an amazing game and succeeded.Zelda has been around for 30 years, that's a hellof a long time for a single game series to be around. If the newest game sucked, the fans would let you know. Even outlets that rarely give high scores gave this game a high score...it's not rigged.

if you read what I wrote you can notice that I'm talking about both sides, please read ;) 

Not gonna lie, it doesn't read like that.

Sounds more like Nintendo fans were justified in the end whereas the haters weren't.

But ok, I get your intent now.

But why? I think these comments represent the double standard.

 

"yeah accept the fact fanboys, the switch is not that good" while fans were saying "Yeah these reviews are not good and I don't trust this" here some Nintendo fans have trust issues, while people who don't like Nintendo are happy with the media.

 "yeah this game doesn't deserve this scores, the media is biased" while fans are saying "fuck yeah best game ever made" here's the opposite.

at the end of the day it's your opinion, but not because of that "the media is biased"

Some people hate to think there's something out there that'sbetter than what they've invested in. They'll defend their choice tooth and nail.

The few who are fortunate enough to play everything realize there's pros and cons to everything and accept it.

or like me, hate it all because it's all shit



Yeah the double standards here on this site does get ridiculous from time to time. I'm talking about all fanbases here.

I will say this. If this game (Zelda BOTW) got damn near a perfect score by almost every reviewer thus far, then that has to speak to the merit and quality of the game itself. When the mass majority labels a game as great or classic, then I think that in itself also speaks volumes. Sure everyone has different tastes and opinions, but overall it's seems to be on the up and up. Glad that the game is doing great. I really don't understand why this was even questioned. Damn near all of the Zelda games have rated extremely high. This wasn't going to be any different.

I for one am happy that IGN assigned a competent person to the Zelda review, unlike what they did for the Switch hardware review.

I don't agree with IGN's "review in progress" because his points are not good in my opinion, but sadly that's how a lot of people think "underpowered console, not portable enough and sad battery" but I see it as a fantastic portable hybdrid with a tablet form factor that fits perfectly inside my purse and the battery is not a problem because why would I play 3 hours of zelda without a power source? see? different perspectives. But not because of that he's against Nintendo.



Exactly why reviews, specially scored ones, are inferior to overviews.

When I rule the world, there will only be overviews and there won't be good or bad games. Just games that some will like.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yeah there a a small few, wouldn't be a bad idea if there was mod action against the people that do this because it's this kind of behaviour we want to get rid of. Usually a way of trolling disguised as just having an opinion.



All that is left is to play the game and to see for yourself :D
