Here's Jimquisition for you...
Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS - 95
Twilight Princess HD -88
Triforce Heroes: 80
Breath of the Wild - 70

"7/10 is a good score". I see that. I see the other scores Breath of the Wild and other Zelda games and I just say...

C'mon man.

Im seeing very good scores overall. Still don't understand on why he is attacked. Certainly he isn't against zelda games :)

C'mon man.

And suddenly those scores justify the atk?

Oh man, I couldn't disagree more. I wouldn't lose much sleep over ditching durability, but taking away the stamina wheel would be like playing a classic Resident Evil game with unlimited ammo.

Man, you must really hate all previous Zelda games because of their lack of stamina wheel.

Different gameplay options. I accept that different games can have different gameplay. But crippling a game by taking away a gameplay option it was designed with is bad.

Let's take baseball for instance. I dont even have a clue of the rules, netheir how it is played. Am i a legitimate reviewer for it?

You might not be a professional analyst but you can easily review the sport on its merits. In the end it's all about what you have to say about it. If you can list your valid pros and cons from your view it's absolutely fine. I mean what could go wrong? Lowering a score on a useless aggregator site? People who know you will now have a way better understanding of Baseball.

Do you think all game reviews are written by professional gamers or let alone writers?

If it was designed with it but would increase my fun immensely if it was gone, I'd say it was a pretty bad design.

Of course not. But you could rate it based on how easy is for you to learn those rules. It should have a tutorial as every other game, especially for a game where rules are an absolute must. The quality (or lack of) might come exactly from the way how it treats new players

For open world games I think the general rule is to simply have fun while fooling around. Thats far easier to digest and there is no way that someone could have an issue of how it is played.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I wonder if the NMS and BOTW attacks will make him score every big game "low" from now on, just so he can sit back and laugh at fanboys exploding like overgrown zits.



Well, as much as I like Jim, he did gave a 9.5 to horizon and a 9 to Watch Dogs 2.

So a 7 for BotW feels inconsistent.

I also heard he gave an 8 to triforce heroes.

7/10 is not considered low i think... It's generally "good" score.

ok NMS had a 5/10 which again most ppl foynd it appropriate at launch. Can't blame him there.
