Played BOTW, great game, but overrated as #@$#@. Sure, it's a 9.0 game, but not a 9.7. Not a true game changer, not a revolutionary and innovative gameplay or never seen before experience.... just a good game worth a 9.0 at best.

I highly agree,game whas amazing but not that incredible, there where many issues i had a problem with,and other games would be burried under that!

I think I've read one of the best comments about the reviews.

When the French website jeuxvideo.com gave GoW a 20/20 (only their third one after 2 Zelda games), one of the guys complaining about it explained that it was obvious that reviewers were Pro-Sony and paid to promote the game, because...

"Reviews always come out the day the games release, so if they come out one week earlier this time, it's obviously because reviewers are paid Pro-Sony trying to sell the game! It's a conspiracy!" XD

Congratulations on winning the highly coveted "Captain Obvious" award! 

Gonna chime in and agree as well. BotW was my 2017 GotY, and is the best thing Nintendo has ever made in my opinion.

But I'm gonna have to say it was a solid 9.4, and anything above that (to me) is just fanaticism.

Uncharted 4 was also overrated imho, hell TLoU was also overrated to me. Both games have the most bland generic gameplay. Lost Legacy to me was the best Uncharted in terms of gameplay. I just hate when games become too cinematic.

That's a thing I always disagree with a lot of people. TLOU gameplay was good IMO. But you had to play the awesome MP mode if you wanted to really enjoy the gameplay fully.

And that's what I'm saying.... They do. But it's not enough. And believe me it's a problem, that it left uncheckeded will only get worse. 

I don't know if you are just stubborn or ignorant ( mean that literally not as an insult). 

QT3 hasn't reviewed the game yet. I don't know if he even gets review copies. And that's an example of the problem. His reviews arel istedd on metacritic too. And his scores are abysmal. 

Even more disturbing is that when asked if he was gonna review it his answer was he didn't even know about the game. Now tell me, what self respecting reviewer, listed on metacritic wouldn't even know of GOW. That's like a literature graduate saying he has never heard about shakespare. 

At the very least, metacritic should only count reviews from outlets that were sent review copies. Not ideal, but better than what it is now.

And that's why this is an issue. It's not only qtt that is a troll site. And should we wait till there are 20 of them before calling out flaws in metacritics vetting system. Like slant magazine scoring Zelda a 6/10.....
