>Tendies review bombed re4 Remake and spewed nonsesical reactionary transphobic drivel towards remake chads more months now
So tendies are alright dudes?
Thank you for making Metacritic even more irrelevant since now not even the user score can give an accurate assessment on if a game is good or not. That website was always dogshit and now there's even less reason to care about its scores.
I know right? These reviewers would have given a 10 if the game was literally just breath of the wild 2017 in a new box.
oh wait you actually think this trash is good...
hes actually right about the score because its the only way to counteract the blind 10/10ers. If all user reviewscores would be black and white as in: like it/dont like it you could see the overall actual average.
Nothing but the most broken of shit games deserves a 0/10, but his review itself is fine and when people are giving it 10/10s all over the place while doing nothing but fellating Nintendo, I don't have a problem with people doing the opposite. He put far more thought and effort into that long ass review than any of the 10/10 ones I've seen.
What bothers me is how many points he brought up that are entirely applicable to the first game, but got a free pass for years. I'd think the long overdue break from dickriding BotW would make me feel vindicated, but the fact that the criticisms only seem to be aimed at the sequel just annoys me more.
So the flaws aren't actually flaws just because it's their first try? (And let's just ignore the experience of every other Zelda game I guess) Yes, a sequel not fixing/improving things makes them much more apparent and less forgivable, but that doesn't mean the first should get a free pass on many of the same issues simply due to being the first. It makes the issues understandable and forgivable to a certain degree, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Being first doesn't erase its graphical drawbacks at the time, or its repetitive combat and lack of enemy diversity, or its poor voice acting, or its empty world.
I think people were more willing to excuse BoTW because it was the Zelda team's first foray into a modernized, open-world format.
But now? Yeah, they shit they were trying to get away with in TotK is completely inexcusable at this point.
one billion seven hundred eighty-eight million
That's how much BoTW generated for Nintendo. A billion dollars.
30million copies sold, 60 dollars.
It's development cost was only 120million dollars.
The jump to 70 dollar games is an overwhelming scam. Games generate more profit with less expenses than goddamn movies. And movies can sell you a ticket for 10 dollars.
You can buy a movie for 15 dollars to have forever.
The gaming industry is a joke and since as a whole, digital sales dwarf physical copies, that's even less expenses in distribution and manufacturing.
Americans have to stomach food and gas price increases to live. A 16.6% increase in entertainment expenses like purchasing a videogame is not only higher than the average inflation rate currently, but based off the numbers completely asinine and ridiculous. It only serves to buy shareholders a new yacht. There is nothing warranted or justified in raising game prices 17%.
>bringing up those autistic GTA Online Sky maps only underage kiddos play in a review of a nintendo game
tell me you were 10 years old in 2013 without telling me.
I just want to say I like the noises they make in dialogue. I like when its not full voice acting and they just occasionally say a few words. It reminds me of OOT when Zelda would laugh with audio but her words were all text.
It runs at 1080p docked and doesn't actually struggle to run at 20fps. These reviews were most likely left by Ganker trying and failing again to predict the next TORtanic.
>Lies about frame rate
No it's actually true >Lies about "not offering you anything more than previously"
No that's actually also true. Unless you're going to argue that TotK is actually worth more than BOTW in terms of content?
It's not. It runs at solid 30fps 99% of the time. Saying "it struggles to run" is simply disingenuous. >Unless you're going to argue that TotK is actually worth more than BOTW in terms of content?
Are you arguing it doesn't? Because that would be a blatantly false statement.
And I paid for it the same as for BotW because it costs the same here.
>It's not. It runs at solid 30fps 99% of the time. Saying "it struggles to run" is simply disingenuous.
Having dips at all is problem enough. >Are you arguing it doesn't? Because that would be a blatantly false statement.
Go on, justify that statement. It's a sequel to a game so having all the same shit the original had is a given and also adding to that is also a given so are you unironically saying that every sequel should be more expensive since it's got more than what the original had? Should games in a series just keep harking up the price? >And I paid for it the same as for BotW because it costs the same here.
Nobody cares about your anecdote.
>all the negative reviews are tepid IQ poorfags
LOL.
based Nintendo FILTERED retards with 3D-spatial-awareness puzzles. Only white men and asians can play this game.
I mean, I'm not trying start a war here, I have a ps4 and a switch but his criticism is valid here.
the game does run at 20fps at times and in 720p.
The game is overpriced a little, it should've been 60 bucks instead
Yes, Nintendo needs to fail because of this! I know they'll fail any day now! Because the game isn't running at 1000 fps at 500000 resolution, surely it'll lose all of its prestige and awards and universal acclaim.

Shut the fuck up, nintendo moron. Do you really think you're making some big brain move here? Yeah, snoy is fucking garbage, but I think since you like to project so much about it, you subconciously know that Nintendo is on the same layer of garbage as Sony

But I only see tendies always getting triggered everyime someone calls them out. You always blame either snoys or even pcfags
Sure Snoy pays to get high reviews for their movies but most reviewers are nintendo manchildren who not only gives a super high review to nintendo titles but they also make sure other games dont reach a higher score
finally someone said it. the nintendo bonus is not a meme. it is very real.
nintendo games are polished slop for the lowest common denominator, which is why they appeal to journos
of course they'd give an unfairly high score to nintendo games. this is exactly what they want vidya to be: safe, easily consumable, childish distractions to take their minds off "adulting". safe products that don't challenge you in any way.

This. Nobody cares Aloy shit game gets a high 80, but Nintendo reviewers clearly make sure other games are not allowed to get the praises they got
I remember one kintenod reviewer suddenly coming back to downplay Fata Morgana, regardless if you liked that one or not its a fact no game will be allowed to score higher than totk, it doesn't matter if let's say Todd actually made a damn good space adventure, it has lesd right than a lazy recycled game like totk is
We all know that Tears and Resident Evil 4 remake will ''fight'' for the best game of the year. Maybe there will be some 2-3 surprises by the end of the year, but so far those 2 are the biggest contenders.

>muh number go down
Good, cry about it, drone. I hope whoever is in charge of planning future project listens to these low scores. Fuck Nintendo, fuck Sony, fuck Microsoft, fuck all triple A studios and especially fuck all of you sycophants.
Every release with any amount of attention has been getting review bombed for many years now. Botw was review bombed too. And it goes both ways with people giving biased, undeserved 10/10s. So the whole thing usually ends up being a wash. As such, the user reviews are still usable for determining what people think of a game in spite of review bombing. You just have to take it in to account when comparing popular games that would get review bombed to more niche ones that wouldn't.
>5.6
But that is the correct score though, not bad but not really good either, just average.
Its their fucking fault for having a 1- 10 scoring system but only giving games 8-10.
It didn't, the game sucks and the reviews are meh. >but the SALES!
Guess every game that isn't Candy Crush and Fortnite is gay and stupid now, because sales.
Genshin is better than those games solely because there's no fucking weapon durability. Fuck weapon durability and any brainwashed drone that defends it.
I don't think bumping is quite strong enough. Review bombing is a very strong, emphatic sort of term. The inverse term needs to carry that same sort of weight to it.
Astral Chain was review bombed, this is just people rightfully calling out trash as trash, we were forced into submission over BOTW we won't let you keep us down this time
Astral chain (unlike TOTK) was absolutely review bombed by console warriors but is a guy called Jirengamer really the best example to use, Jirenfags are all cancer in general.
I agree but 8.5 is a score that I can see someone genuinely coming to even with the Zelda bias. Over a 9 just feels like they aren't even judging the game at all and simply giving it a high score for it's own sake. 8.5 says somewhat biased but still critical and using some metric or standards.
It's probably the best looking switch game. And visually it mocks other open world games like elden ring by having better draw distance and pitch black undergrounds. How can you even say that its bad graphics vise. Do these retards expect high fidelity realistic graphics from 10 year old mobile chip?
Speaking of recycling, the first korok you encounter literally copy pastes the lines from the first one you find in botw. There's no acknowledgement whatsoever of the previous poo hunt or that you already know Hestu. They couldn't even be bothered to tweak a few lines of text.
TotK is exceptional and will be a model for nearly every emergent gameplay-focused title for the next 2 decades, minimum.
If you have actually played the game (lol) and do not at least acknowledge this simple fact, then I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you're probably not cut out to enjoy modern video games any longer.
Try focusing on things someone your age should be engaging in instead, like getting a job, or being a contributing member of society. Hope this helps!
WHY DO PEOPLE CARE? WHY DO THE NORMALFAGS KEEP TALKING ABOUT REVIEWBOMBING LIKE THE SCORES MATTER. WHO GIVES A FUCK STOP NEEDING ANONYMOUS STRANGERS TO VALIDATE ALREADY POINTLESS SCORE NUMBERS YOU ALREADY HAVE FROM WHATEVER CRITIC SITE YOU NEEDED TO TELL YOU THE GAME IS A NUMBER OUT OF 100.
This should be educating them that it's time to move on from these stupid final score systems but every time a new review bomb happens they take it super seriously and double down even asking for "harder moderation" stop being fucking babies and abandon this system all together.
its amazing what kind of stupid shit you can get people to care about when you make them feel like theyre being attacked by a so called enemy. there are no console wars, its just marketing.
They already put in several dungeons, some of the finest and most beautifully crafted you can ever want. Unless you wanted more OOT rehashes which involve shooting an arrow at a target, or putting a block in a hole. In that case, sorry. Nintendo is done making that low effort design.
They don't even have the moving the divine beast gimmick from botw, which was actually cool and only sucked in that it was the only thing going on with any of them. So these are even worse. Also, trying to shill a game by shitting on its series is retarded. Stop doing it. It doesn't work.
But they did and they are great. Did you play it?
I just pirated it this afternoon. But the "dungeons" sucking ass hasn't been a secret for two weeks.
No, that's why I ended up pirating it. But I did read descriptions of them by people who were praising the game and even they admitted that they were far more similar to divine beasts than to normal zelda dungeons.
If reviews existed but didn't have a % or /100 or a Star system at the end of a well written review would it not still be a review? People are missing the actual fucking thing that is being said about the fucking game to scroll looking for a number that says "96" and then in their brain formulate what the fuck that even means. >ah yes yes, i could see why it's not quite a 97 instead, but damn good effort guys! 96!
What motivates people to write a negative review on a game they didn't even play? Why do they care so much? I know that RDR2 sucks without even playing it, buy I wouldn't go and write a paragraph on how much it sucks and give it a score.
How do you know that RDR2 sucks? Yes, it has many flaws but there might be some aspects you can appreciate about it. The game isn't just all irredeemable shit
I think anyone who has ever posted a 0 review should be excluded from the user average, especially if it’s a console exclusive and they’ve given a 10 to a different console’s exclusive. There is literally no reason to give a game a 0 unless it is literally (and not just figuratively) unplayable.
>the textures are pukeworthy
He's right though, the game is ugly as fuck. It'd be an indie title with lukewarm reviews if it was anything other than Zelda by Nintendo
See that's why your post was deleted, the game isn't a rehash and it has dungeons. In fact I'm playing through one of them as we speak. Maybe you should ask yourself what went wrong in your life that you feel the need to behave like this.
I don't even care about this game but this is a war on truth at this point. The gas lighting on display on Ganker recently would put the USSR to shame.
>Nintendo releases a masterfully crafted piece of art that will define the entire medium for decades to come >shitposters try to ruin this by making up lies about the game >"WHY U SO FRAGILE"
I've been hearing about this game and looked up there's a console called a Switch that's both a handheld and a regular console, that's crazy. Would you guys say a Switch is worth buying? I haven't gamed since around 2008 and even then I was a casual.
I agree, I usually like Zelda games, but this game is just not up to usual standard. It's a rehash of BOTW and the new additions are mostly to the game's detriment, not it's improvement. A lot of the new abilities are OP as hell and completely remove all challenge and sense of accomplishment, as well as any risk from the "risk and reward" system of exploration from BOTW. even the exploration is worse as there's way less incentive to actually explore because the new abilities solve any and all problems effortlessly. They also hold your hand too much, in BOTW they at least let you discover most things on your own, in this game they condescendingly overexplain everything through pages and pages of text and tutorials, and push you to go specific paths way more.
This is what you get when your console has been out for two years but still has yet to have one (1) game. PS5 and Xbox kids are shitting their pants out of pure spite.
>NOOOOO WE MUST ADDRESS THE MADE-UP PROBLEM OF REVIEW BOMBING LEADING TO OVERINFLATED NEGATIVE REVIEW SCORES!!!!!!! >yesssss we must continue to ignore the real problem of journos writing pretend positive reviews because they're scared of getting blacklisted by nintendo
Suck it. Review bombing is a justified response to a bullshit system.
>$70 >6 years >6 new bosses, 6 new enemies (that's 2 enemies per year) >most of those are jusr generic "shoot the eyeball" and then the boss staggers for 20 seconds >dungeons are just 5-6 shrine puzzles stapled together >Sky Islands look cool but are 5% of the game map >Underground is barren wasteland with just red sludge, darkness and reskinned enemies
My tinfoil hat theory is that they know nobody trust critic reviews, so they try to inflate user scores so the game looks better, as that's the only score most people look at (even if it's not really accurate either)
Or maybe people made accounts to review the game, if you actually read those posts and have played the game you can see that they contain factual information unlike the 0/10's which contain flat out lies like "the game has no new content", a statement that if posted by journalists would constitute libel.
>snoys magazine give snoy movie 10/10 >all is right with the world >bing magazine give bing bing wahoo 10/10 >NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAVE ME moronMAN
Getting more and more retarded by the second.
I didn't even like the gameplay that much, it's not suited to the game design it's put in, it's hard to put into words in short form, but all over the place, the mechanics don't fit together into a cohesive experience. It's OK, but it just doesn't manage to be good, let alone great.
>totk is an 8 or 9 for gameplay and world map design
You mean the very same map they designed almost a decade ago for their previous game? Absolute kek.
We shouldn't listen to people who bought this game.
Buying a 350 bucks console + 70 dollars for a game is gonna make you like it. Because the cope mechanic will overtake you.
In fact, we should only listen to people who played the superior emulated version
So you are only allowed to play and review f2p games? Wait you have to buy hardware for those aswell. You are only allowed to play and review tic tac toe

nice review site you have there
I also enjoyed BotW a lot but when I started playing the new one I had to stop after a few minutes when I realized it was the same exact shit. There's no way I'm going to sink hundreds of hours again I
the exact same shit when theres thousands of other things to do with my life.
What's worse is that, yes, it's the same as BOTW, but it's actually worse because the new abilities are OP which ruins the risk/reward feeling of the game. Why bother sneaking up on an enemy camp, and taking them out one by one with stealth and use of terrain hazards against them, when I can just glue some boulders to some sticks and be able to beat their brains out easily with no effort?
You will all hate me for this, but hear me out:
Both games are good in their own right.
The gameplay is completely different. Zelda is more of a creative puzzle sandbox game, while New Vegas is a more traditional RPG.
It's obviously not a five-anything. All the dorks I've watched footage from have said it was a solid game, if not a bit juvenile. I only watch people who hate nintendo products so that was surprising. I'm betting it is a fair and righteous video. Maybe 8/10? >Why don't you play the game?
No, I dislike nintendo, also I've never played any Zelda game and I'm not about to start now.
The funniest part about this is that the game has been at an 8.X for almost a day now, after it actually came out, and people like OP still post this shit in the vain hope it might be still real on here atleast, so they can have their usual shitflinging.
I don't get why all of you get so uppity. Games have become the same as clothes brands/luxury brands long time ago. Blizzard, Nintendo, Activision, CdRed can release the most lazy copy pasted dogshit in existence with the most predatory monetization in existence or at $70 and there will still be millions of cucks buying it out just because of pokemon/zelda/CoD/WoW whatever else they got title. In 50 years they will be still doing the next editions of these games because it works and retards buy it instantly in millions. Some new Indie studio could make the best game ever better than these big studio and even with good media clout they will max reach 5% of Zelda sales. It's literally the same mentality as with people buying whatever dogshit at whatever price from Nike/BMW/Mercedes/gucci and all the other overhyped IRL brands.
>Blizzard, Nintendo, Activision, CdRed can release the most lazy copy pasted dogshit in existence
And From Software, don't forget about them. Dark Souls 2 was their last original game, and that was 9-10 years ago.
It's the "information age" and people don't understand what inflation is and why a game with no microtransaction like blizzard dross needs to charge $70
>user review
Literally just a battleground where console- and political wars are fought, and therefore entirely point- and useless for people who actually care about video games.
Proof that retards can't be trusted an opinion. Just shut it down at that point.
Why does Metacritic not have a system where they work with devs and bundle a digital code to let users sign in and input said digital code to let them provide a user review on their website for console users? That way no one can just reviewbomb new released games? I know its not their place to care that much, but when you make a website you generally want it to be the best that it can be if you want to be a credible source for overall reviews of professionals and customers.
You don't get it? User reviews are written by typical Ganker users - people who don't play games.
If you turn off user reviews, or if you try to make something similar to Steam reviews (I dunno, link to account and post proof that you palyed the game), Metacritic would lose over 50% of users/views.
Imagine giving a single fuck about User Score at this point when it somehow manages to be even worse than journochud scores.
On Steam you'll get """"reviews""" by retards who are trying extra hard to leave funny and witty redditor comments, checklist reviews, among other kinds of self-important attention whores brapping out their shitty little undercooked opinion after 30 minutes of play.
On metacritic it's just literal manbabies engaging in console wars and muh politix and le heggin epic review bomberinos.
Have you tried having standards? Oh right, you're a tendie, you never had any standards to begin with. You'll just gobble up any bile that Nintendo vomits up as a good mindless consumer drone.

>no people here have an overwhelming irrational love for nintendo
Hatred anon. Zelda being the perfect example of it since discussion from people who liked it died within a year of botw's release yet the shitposting continued for six years.
If people had an irrational love for Nintendo here you would be able to point out anons like you can Eric and ACfag.
>discussion from people who liked it died within a year
Just goes to show that it was completely inauthentic manufactured "liking". Also you can't "point out" mindless NPCs, that's the thing - their whole personality begins and ends with liking the product. The fact that you can point out haters means they're actual people. Which is absolutely ironic considering your post.
>Just goes to show that it was completely inauthentic manufactured "liking".
No, that's just what people do once they've done everything. It would be manufacutred if it continued past that like the constant bloodborne threads we used to have even though there was nothing to talk about anymore.

It is literally impossible for me to like more than 1 video game at a time. I have to hate everything else other than what is immediately in front of me at all times. Is there something wrong with me?
It saved it for one game.
ToTK is proof that it's just heading into a different downward spiral.
DESU, nothing's going to change until they remove Miyamoto and Aonuma out of the picture.
ToTK didn't fix any of the inherent issues from BotW (aside from better bosses. That doesn't bode well for future games. >world still feels empty, repetitive and recycled >enemy variety is still garbage >durability is even worse with the fusing bullshit >most shrines are still low-quality garbage that offer little reward >Story is absolutely disjointed, unemotional, lore-breaking dogshit, probably the worst story we've ever seen in a mainline console Zelda title

Except for more enemies, more bosses, more weapons, reasons to explore beyond shrines, no "Ubisoft" towers, faster methods of traversal, more interaction methods.

there's no such thing as a review bomb. if lots of people don't like the game and the rating goes down, that's a review aggregator doing what it's supposed to.
I am so fucking sick of Snoys. I am dedicating my entire day to making several accounts and leaving 1/10 reviews on the very few Snoy exclusives that even exist. Fuck you all.
For me the worst part is not only having Korok shit in the game again but this time being forced/encouraged to use the gay ass building feature to solve them.
Tendies >Critic reviews are not important! Audience ratings are what really matter
Also Tendies > User reviews are not important. The critics are the only ones who know what they're talking about!
They're mentally still kids so it's fitting they're hypocrites. Can't even be mad at kids being kids. Well, if you aren't considering that most of Nintendo fans are fat and ugly 30+ yo manchildren with extreme retardation.
I pirated totk and think it's mediocre, but I went to see this movie and enjoyed it. Imo Nintendo should quit making games and become a film company instead
1) thats movie. Movie critics were baffled by the movie because they don't understand the games. Actual video game sites which reviewed the movie thought it was great.
2) whataboutism
Sad. Pathetic. And mentally ill. I demand you keep seething. Don't ever get over it.
5.6 is what it would have gotten from critics if it wasn't a Nintendo game. It took them 6 years to release the same exact game with retarded "put meat on your sword and it becomes a meat sword lol" or "combine logs and fans to make a vehicle that barely goes forward for 3 seconds" shit that no one will ever do other than Redditors to get upvotes. It's a romhack, the most disappointing sequel in video game history.
Nope, that's what you're doing. I love the zelda games and nintendo, and hated tlou2 because it was inbred semetic garbage. Lots of normal and sane people think the same way as I do. That's why you weirdos are so upset. You are the hated and ignored minority

Kids only care about graphics
Game could be shit but if its in 4k and 60fps they would buy it
He clearly didnt even play totk
If someone didnt like botw then he will not like totk
I get you can dont like something but giving 0 is retarded and cringe.
I paid $50 with a voucher and I feel like thats $10 too much.
BOTW could've had 2 DLC expansions, one focusing on the depths and one focusing on the sky, with each one sold separately for $20 or bundled for $40. That's basically what TOTK is.
Nintendo knows that their "fanbase" are "children" in name only. In reality they're smelly fat and dumb manchildren slobs. No reason not to garden gnome them out of their money. Victimless crime.
They could have done ANYTHING with this game. Instead, the did the same thing as before, but now you can stick things together. Amazing. Could have had any kind of levels, but instead you got the same map as before. Could have fixed any of the very unpopular and annoying mechanics, but no. Item durability is arguably worse. Could have done anything with the story, but no. it's just more "u r link, u have to stop bad ganon". Imagine paying 20 dollars for this shit, let alone 70.
Consumer reviews are like any other product, you review it based on your satisfaction, this includes price unlike “critical” reviews.
In general, “review bombing” really ends balancing out the 10/10s from either paid marketers, fanboys, etc. So if the negative overtakes the positive there’s something wrong with the product. And there is.
This is a $70 DLC.
Seriously, this could have been an easy slam dunk. All they had to do for BotW 2 was just clean up the first game a bit, QoL stuff like less menu-ing, add fully realized dungeons, maybe spend more than 2 hours working on the story script, etc. Everyone from the zoomer to the boomer would be shitting and pissing their paints. Change the UI, you can keep the meme adaptive music but add actual songs too. Just take BotW and amp everything besides the sandbox. Instead they did the opposite, where I can’t even say they did the bare minimum on the non-sandbox aspects because they couldn’t even provide a new map.
It seems like such a cynical release, like they chose the sandbox route because they knew people would make le wacky videos on social media. If they wanted that shit, I have a solution: just add a fucking randomized to the game. Zoomers and streamers love that shit, especially for Zelda. I doubt it would be harder to implement than the fuse shit
Imagine getting filtered by genetics. Well, nintendofags don't need to image since they know that in order to have fun with Nintendo games you have to have an extra chromosome or two. Well, they would know, if only they weren't terminally retarded that is.
They really both kind of garbage. Playing through the first one was just a chore, and going back to look at it again, there's nothing much to do in the game. It's just a bland, pale mess where you go from place to place collecting seeds from mind-numbing puzzles.
The second one is all of that, but somehow lesser.
you are not the target audience
[...]
true. Everything you kotaku pedos say about the zelda game is a lie.
>you are not the target audience
probably not? I fail to see who the target audience might be, other than "people who want to justify the purchase of a switch", but the remake of link's awakening could have done that while also being a fun, tightly-paced, well thought-out game with plenty to do and see and with an actual...game...behind it?
The opposite is probably true, actually. You need to be a drooling retard who thinks putting a round object in a round hole is the height of entertainment.
The combat is legitimately ass though. Why does it require so much menuing to do shit? Why are the movesets so miserably shallow? Why is the flurry rush even a thing? Why is everything so robotic and archaic with this combat? Holy shit i feel like i'm playing a 20 year old game.
They took out the Gerudo costume and replaced it with a "Gerudo Voe" costume, because apparently the all-woman race just happens to have some mens' clothing lying around.
Also they added in an outfit with a womb tattoo and a rubber gimpsuit.

>devs have to work 100 times harder to get that nintendo 90 points of a approval
Damn...he's right
Everything he said is correct. This was a well thought out review but because you're a subhman tendiewendie you think it's wrong to criticize Goytendo
He's right.
he is 100% right about everything, except his score. 0/10 is not realistic, it's more like 5-6 / 10.
if this wasn't called legend of zelda, but legend of some random guy, that would have been the score.
hes actually right about the score because its the only way to counteract the blind 10/10ers. If all user reviewscores would be black and white as in: like it/dont like it you could see the overall actual average.
>right about everything, except his score
But that’s exactly is the problem, isn’t it
not really when nintendo fanboys just give out blind 10/10s, some of whom didn't even play the game, and you have to counteract them.
those are the true "review bombs"
Americunts crying about a 10 dollar increase in games is hilarious to me.
What have CEOs done to deserve that money? The common man is much poorer than these suits gays. Fuck off, they deserve a kick in the fucking teeth

>i will consoooooooom
Price increase good.
Economy good.
The scoring aside this is a really good review and I've nearly beaten the game already
They hated him because he spoke the truth. Sad!
I paid 55 euros.
damn, what a gigachad review
fuck Scamtendo
Nothing but the most broken of shit games deserves a 0/10, but his review itself is fine and when people are giving it 10/10s all over the place while doing nothing but fellating Nintendo, I don't have a problem with people doing the opposite. He put far more thought and effort into that long ass review than any of the 10/10 ones I've seen.
I agree with him, the game should've been DLC.
For Nintendo to reuse their own fucking map, for giant mainline Zelda game, it feels cheap, pile on the 70 dolan price tag and It's kinda offensive.
What bothers me is how many points he brought up that are entirely applicable to the first game, but got a free pass for years. I'd think the long overdue break from dickriding BotW would make me feel vindicated, but the fact that the criticisms only seem to be aimed at the sequel just annoys me more.
>entirely applicable to the first game, but got a free pass for years
because, retard, it's the FIRST GAME
So the flaws aren't actually flaws just because it's their first try? (And let's just ignore the experience of every other Zelda game I guess) Yes, a sequel not fixing/improving things makes them much more apparent and less forgivable, but that doesn't mean the first should get a free pass on many of the same issues simply due to being the first. It makes the issues understandable and forgivable to a certain degree, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Being first doesn't erase its graphical drawbacks at the time, or its repetitive combat and lack of enemy diversity, or its poor voice acting, or its empty world.
Its been Seven YEARS and not one of you schizo chuds was ever able to present a single convincing argument against BotW.
I am not anticipating any against TotK in the NEXT Seven Years.
>Its been Seven YEARS and not one of you schizo chuds was ever able to present a single convincing argument against BotW
Sanest botwfag on Ganker
I think people were more willing to excuse BoTW because it was the Zelda team's first foray into a modernized, open-world format.
But now? Yeah, they shit they were trying to get away with in TotK is completely inexcusable at this point.
He's absolutely right.
>cringworthy running animations
This whole review seems spot on to me.
Where's the lie? The 0 is too low of a score but everything he said is correct.
How the fuck is no multiplayer a criticism?
He's not wrong though.
>Ameripoors getting filtered by a $10 price increase

they hated him because he told the truth
he's right except for the multiplayer part

>i'm not paying 70€ period

Buy this guy a fucking beer. Beautifully said. Fuck goytendo
I agree with them aside from the score. I would give it maybe a 7 or something.
>bringing up those autistic GTA Online Sky maps only underage kiddos play in a review of a nintendo game
tell me you were 10 years old in 2013 without telling me.
I just want to say I like the noises they make in dialogue. I like when its not full voice acting and they just occasionally say a few words. It reminds me of OOT when Zelda would laugh with audio but her words were all text.
His multiplayer bit seems a bit random and stupid and makes me think hes probably very young like under 25 but the rest is fairly accurate

Exactly how is anything here wrong?
Game runs great and free on my pc
It runs at 1080p docked and doesn't actually struggle to run at 20fps. These reviews were most likely left by Ganker trying and failing again to predict the next TORtanic.
why do you lie?
It runs at 900p, upscaled to 1080p only when docked you lying scumsucker.
The casually implied assertion that $70 is acceptable if a game is "next-gen"
Because he's supposed to be reviewing a game, not pretending he's digital foundry
I mean 6/10 is pretty reasonable for those genuine complaints.
>Lies about frame rate
>Lies about "not offering you anything more than previously"
>genuine complaints.
>Lies about frame rate
No it's actually true
>Lies about "not offering you anything more than previously"
No that's actually also true. Unless you're going to argue that TotK is actually worth more than BOTW in terms of content?
It's not. It runs at solid 30fps 99% of the time. Saying "it struggles to run" is simply disingenuous.
>Unless you're going to argue that TotK is actually worth more than BOTW in terms of content?
Are you arguing it doesn't? Because that would be a blatantly false statement.
And I paid for it the same as for BotW because it costs the same here.
>It's not. It runs at solid 30fps 99% of the time. Saying "it struggles to run" is simply disingenuous.
Having dips at all is problem enough.
>Are you arguing it doesn't? Because that would be a blatantly false statement.
Go on, justify that statement. It's a sequel to a game so having all the same shit the original had is a given and also adding to that is also a given so are you unironically saying that every sequel should be more expensive since it's got more than what the original had? Should games in a series just keep harking up the price?
>And I paid for it the same as for BotW because it costs the same here.
Nobody cares about your anecdote.
Nobody cares about your butthurt criticism either
They’re hilarious though

>6/10 instead of 0/10
>solid complaints
Is this a falseflag to make you retards look bad, or? Literally could've picked anything else
I mean, I'm not trying start a war here, I have a ps4 and a switch but his criticism is valid here.
the game does run at 20fps at times and in 720p.
The game is overpriced a little, it should've been 60 bucks instead
>oh noes the frames dropped by one! game ruined forever!
Here's to six more years of Ganker seething! truly Nintendo is the gift that keeps on giving.
>frames dropped by one
nta but are you retarded? That sort of frame drop, at 720p is unacceptable.
Yes, Nintendo needs to fail because of this! I know they'll fail any day now! Because the game isn't running at 1000 fps at 500000 resolution, surely it'll lose all of its prestige and awards and universal acclaim.
Oh, okay, so you are a retard then. Carry on.
My apologies sire, I was not aware of your profound retardation.
If fps drops by 1 then you get half the responsiveness. That's how vsync works.
>That's how vsync works.
Double buffered vsync.
Industry standard is triple buffered vsync for 2 decades.
The thing about 30 fps is that whenever it drops even by few fps you feel that.

You're a moron lmfao
I am not a kotaku pedo
one billion seven hundred eighty-eight million
That's how much BoTW generated for Nintendo. A billion dollars.
30million copies sold, 60 dollars.
It's development cost was only 120million dollars.
The jump to 70 dollar games is an overwhelming scam. Games generate more profit with less expenses than goddamn movies. And movies can sell you a ticket for 10 dollars.
You can buy a movie for 15 dollars to have forever.
The gaming industry is a joke and since as a whole, digital sales dwarf physical copies, that's even less expenses in distribution and manufacturing.
Americans have to stomach food and gas price increases to live. A 16.6% increase in entertainment expenses like purchasing a videogame is not only higher than the average inflation rate currently, but based off the numbers completely asinine and ridiculous. It only serves to buy shareholders a new yacht. There is nothing warranted or justified in raising game prices 17%.
I bought the $130 Collector's Edition and the amiibo. Small price to pay for one of the best games ever.
the game isn't excelling in any things it tries to do, not to mention it does zero new things that weren't done before, in gaming as a whole that is, i am sure shitch is the exception but still.

If you get new headphones, your music doesnt get more expensive
Is he wrong though?
why would nintendo be the only ones not raising the prices? that would be more retarded
That seems like a fairly harmless normal review. Hes just saying objective things wrong with the game.
This is bullshit. The gane runs much better than BotW.
If you removed every 10 and 0 from metacritic you'd probably have a more accurate representation of game's actual qualities.
Damn, so sad... how dare people NOT give a 10 to a game with a big empty world, ubisoft towers and copy pasted time wasting bloat...
see you in the next zelda thread, cuck 🙂
It's funny how it's almost exactly word for word what Snoys keep spamming here lmao
Its funny how nintendies shield themselves from any and all criticism by calling people "snoys" and think it carries any power
>The Snoy is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a chud, gay, cancer, mongoloid, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Snoy and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
Shut the fuck up, nintendo moron. Do you really think you're making some big brain move here? Yeah, snoy is fucking garbage, but I think since you like to project so much about it, you subconciously know that Nintendo is on the same layer of garbage as Sony
Works every time lmao
But I only see tendies always getting triggered everyime someone calls them out. You always blame either snoys or even pcfags
Sure Snoy pays to get high reviews for their movies but most reviewers are nintendo manchildren who not only gives a super high review to nintendo titles but they also make sure other games dont reach a higher score
finally someone said it. the nintendo bonus is not a meme. it is very real.
nintendo games are polished slop for the lowest common denominator, which is why they appeal to journos
of course they'd give an unfairly high score to nintendo games. this is exactly what they want vidya to be: safe, easily consumable, childish distractions to take their minds off "adulting". safe products that don't challenge you in any way.
>the nintendo bonus is not a meme. it is very real.
Nah, there is no observable bonus which is why people can still only refer to two games. Even games like pokemon have average to low reviews despite their popularity.
There clearly is
>pokemon
Game Freak
>There clearly is
No, there's not. That's why everyone who screeches about a Nintendo bonus can only refer to 2 games Zelda and Mario as if that's the only game they make, which it isn't.
>Game Freak
This argument only works where development is concerned since it's still an IP owned by Nintendo.
This. Nobody cares Aloy shit game gets a high 80, but Nintendo reviewers clearly make sure other games are not allowed to get the praises they got
I remember one kintenod reviewer suddenly coming back to downplay Fata Morgana, regardless if you liked that one or not its a fact no game will be allowed to score higher than totk, it doesn't matter if let's say Todd actually made a damn good space adventure, it has lesd right than a lazy recycled game like totk is
We all know that Tears and Resident Evil 4 remake will ''fight'' for the best game of the year. Maybe there will be some 2-3 surprises by the end of the year, but so far those 2 are the biggest contenders.
You are free to make threads about some random game that nobody plays, but don't put blame on ''tendies'' for that.
Yes, I blame tendies for your schizo group, no matter how how you are pretending to care about re4r

>everything I disagree with is a review bomb
go back itwitter gay
>muh number go down
Good, cry about it, drone. I hope whoever is in charge of planning future project listens to these low scores. Fuck Nintendo, fuck Sony, fuck Microsoft, fuck all triple A studios and especially fuck all of you sycophants.
Every single nintendo release since pokemon sword/shield has been review bombed, it's not a big surprise. Even Astral Chain was review bombed
Every release with any amount of attention has been getting review bombed for many years now. Botw was review bombed too. And it goes both ways with people giving biased, undeserved 10/10s. So the whole thing usually ends up being a wash. As such, the user reviews are still usable for determining what people think of a game in spite of review bombing. You just have to take it in to account when comparing popular games that would get review bombed to more niche ones that wouldn't.
Thanks for the heads up OP, I'll join in too now
..
No, I changed my mind, I'm going to play another bideo game instead
>5.6
But that is the correct score though, not bad but not really good either, just average.
Its their fucking fault for having a 1- 10 scoring system but only giving games 8-10.
Genshin is basically BOTW and TOTK but better (and doesn't cost $70 lol). You cannot refute this.
>(and doesn't cost $70 lol)
instead you spend $7000 on gacha rolls
nice "game" you got there, kek
Zelda, one of the biggest sacred cows of video games, got absofuckinglutely MOGGED by some free to play chink mobile shit. Let that sink in.
It didn't, the game sucks and the reviews are meh.
>but the SALES!
Guess every game that isn't Candy Crush and Fortnite is gay and stupid now, because sales.
YWNBAW.
>literally no physics engine
nope
Genshin is better than those games solely because there's no fucking weapon durability. Fuck weapon durability and any brainwashed drone that defends it.
Weapon durability is bad but gacha is literally bottom of the barrel.
>still doing this years after you started spamming this board with this marketing line
Gacha therefore trash.
Neither Zelda game is anywhere as good as the tendies say they are but genshin is fucking trash
Why are you on a gaming board then?
We need a newspeak word for positive reviews. How about review fluffing?
Review inflating
>review fluffing
That could work, it sounds really gay too.
Either review bumping or review embellishing.
I prefer bumping.
I don't think bumping is quite strong enough. Review bombing is a very strong, emphatic sort of term. The inverse term needs to carry that same sort of weight to it.
Astral Chain was review bombed, this is just people rightfully calling out trash as trash, we were forced into submission over BOTW we won't let you keep us down this time
>us
Discordtrannies or Pegasusnationsissies?
Astral chain (unlike TOTK) was absolutely review bombed by console warriors but is a guy called Jirengamer really the best example to use, Jirenfags are all cancer in general.
lol
this one is a falseflag pretending to be a reviewbomb to make them look retarded. no one is this retarded
No it's not it's real.
Genshitters have an IQ below 90 so I am willing to believe this is not a troll.
BOTW is a total rip off of Shadow of Colossus though
How pathetic do you have to be to make up a review bomb to play the victim?
>8.5
You know that's a pretty reasonable score. Not even mad at that.
It's still too high, but at least a score like that still gets across the point that the game is not at all perfect.
I agree but 8.5 is a score that I can see someone genuinely coming to even with the Zelda bias. Over a 9 just feels like they aren't even judging the game at all and simply giving it a high score for it's own sake. 8.5 says somewhat biased but still critical and using some metric or standards.
Elden Ring trans sissy sisters (male to female)... we lost...
Rated way too highly. This game is boring and shit
I liked this game, but now that you can create your own weapons, weapon durability is even more painful!!!

>review date: today
>review date: today
>review date: today
It's probably the best looking switch game. And visually it mocks other open world games like elden ring by having better draw distance and pitch black undergrounds. How can you even say that its bad graphics vise. Do these retards expect high fidelity realistic graphics from 10 year old mobile chip?
Speaking of recycling, the first korok you encounter literally copy pastes the lines from the first one you find in botw. There's no acknowledgement whatsoever of the previous poo hunt or that you already know Hestu. They couldn't even be bothered to tweak a few lines of text.
>A torment to play
>3, not zero
The guy is an idiot. Even more so for giving 3DS OOT an 8 instead of a zero.
TotK is exceptional and will be a model for nearly every emergent gameplay-focused title for the next 2 decades, minimum.
If you have actually played the game (lol) and do not at least acknowledge this simple fact, then I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you're probably not cut out to enjoy modern video games any longer.
Try focusing on things someone your age should be engaging in instead, like getting a job, or being a contributing member of society. Hope this helps!
botw has had zero impact on video games, just like every other zelda game
Low quality bait, apply yourself
He's literally, factually right though. Gmod is literally older than BoTW
zelda is really not one of the most impactful games not many games have a similar structure or set up or even approach to design
>Emergent Gameplay
there are no console wars. its just false flagging garden gnomes fabricating ammo to make bigger censorship and spying laws more appealing to sheep
open world developers are tripping over themselves now trying to put an underground zone in all their games thanks to ER and TotK
I don't mind that. I don't care for either game, but caves are cool so if that's what people take from them, great.
You mean Skyrim. Blackreach was the stand out spectacle in that game.
WHY DO PEOPLE CARE? WHY DO THE NORMALFAGS KEEP TALKING ABOUT REVIEWBOMBING LIKE THE SCORES MATTER. WHO GIVES A FUCK STOP NEEDING ANONYMOUS STRANGERS TO VALIDATE ALREADY POINTLESS SCORE NUMBERS YOU ALREADY HAVE FROM WHATEVER CRITIC SITE YOU NEEDED TO TELL YOU THE GAME IS A NUMBER OUT OF 100.
This should be educating them that it's time to move on from these stupid final score systems but every time a new review bomb happens they take it super seriously and double down even asking for "harder moderation" stop being fucking babies and abandon this system all together.
its amazing what kind of stupid shit you can get people to care about when you make them feel like theyre being attacked by a so called enemy. there are no console wars, its just marketing.
I want the score to be at least somewhat critical in the hope that nintendo will put actual fucking dungeons in these games again.
They already put in several dungeons, some of the finest and most beautifully crafted you can ever want. Unless you wanted more OOT rehashes which involve shooting an arrow at a target, or putting a block in a hole. In that case, sorry. Nintendo is done making that low effort design.
They don't even have the moving the divine beast gimmick from botw, which was actually cool and only sucked in that it was the only thing going on with any of them. So these are even worse. Also, trying to shill a game by shitting on its series is retarded. Stop doing it. It doesn't work.
I just pirated it this afternoon. But the "dungeons" sucking ass hasn't been a secret for two weeks.
>But the "dungeons" sucking ass hasn't been a secret for two weeks.
Do you trust everything you read on the internet?
No, that's why I ended up pirating it. But I did read descriptions of them by people who were praising the game and even they admitted that they were far more similar to divine beasts than to normal zelda dungeons.
But they did and they are great. Did you play it?
If reviews existed but didn't have a % or /100 or a Star system at the end of a well written review would it not still be a review? People are missing the actual fucking thing that is being said about the fucking game to scroll looking for a number that says "96" and then in their brain formulate what the fuck that even means.
>ah yes yes, i could see why it's not quite a 97 instead, but damn good effort guys! 96!
this
, open world shit with "emergent" gameplay is a cancer
What motivates people to write a negative review on a game they didn't even play? Why do they care so much? I know that RDR2 sucks without even playing it, buy I wouldn't go and write a paragraph on how much it sucks and give it a score.
How do you know that RDR2 sucks? Yes, it has many flaws but there might be some aspects you can appreciate about it. The game isn't just all irredeemable shit
it's the woke west. it can't be anything other than garbage
>Based on 33 reviews
literal millons just cant stop playing right now, please undastand
OP is a garden gnome, and yes posting mass reviews filled with flat out lies and vitriol constitutes review bombing.
>8.6
I agree with this. The nintendo bonus is about 1.4 points or so.
I think anyone who has ever posted a 0 review should be excluded from the user average, especially if it’s a console exclusive and they’ve given a 10 to a different console’s exclusive. There is literally no reason to give a game a 0 unless it is literally (and not just figuratively) unplayable.
>the textures are pukeworthy
He's right though, the game is ugly as fuck. It'd be an indie title with lukewarm reviews if it was anything other than Zelda by Nintendo
I wrote a negative review and it was deleted lmao
Metacritic is back to full damage mode. Might as well rename the site PositiveReviewsOnly at this point.
Post your review here. Let us be the judge.
he won't do that
>Post your review here.
Six years for a rehash of Breath of the Wild, magic glue and, once again, zero dungeons.
>Was it a 0/10 score?
1/10 score
I gave it a bonus point, because I used to really like Nintendo before they became garden gnometendo.
See that's why your post was deleted, the game isn't a rehash and it has dungeons. In fact I'm playing through one of them as we speak. Maybe you should ask yourself what went wrong in your life that you feel the need to behave like this.
>the game isn't a rehash
Yes it is
>and it has dungeons.
No, it doesn't, it has more divine beast trash, they are just named differently.
Anyway, don't fret, I posted my review again and will keep on doing that until it stays.
No it isn't a rehash, no they aren't divine beasts, you are a sad husk of a human being.
>Same map for 70$
>Not a rehash
Are you retarded?
"Same map" in that it has kind of sort of the same geography. Nobody is buying your disingenuous garden gnomery.
The literally rehashed the towns. It's a rehash by definition.
>Nobody is buying your disingenuous garden gnomery.
Sadly millions of drones buying Trash of the Kingdom in droves.
>zero dungeons
So you flat out lied in your review? No wonder it got deleted.
>So you flat out lied in your review?
Fact: Breath of the Wild has zero dungeons
Fact: Tears of the Kingdom has zero dungeons
I reposted my review. Have fun reporting it, fatty.
Was it a 0/10 score? Metacritic are doubling down on removing those.
Rightfully so.
0/10 is a completely broken or a dysfunctional game. No matter how you feel about ToTK it’s at least 5/10.
They actually took down user scores for a while after the 5.6. When they brought it back it was at the 8.5 or whatever.
8.5 is still low, there are still tonnes of middling reviews that contain flat out lies.
embarrassing
who fucking cares holy shit
fuck off to twitter
why are tendies so fragile?
Reminder that tendie is a Discord dog whistle.
>muh discord
Shut the fuck up Ninger
This is a Discord raid, you are either from that Discord or you are a useful idiot.
Newfag.
I just like to use it because it makes you seethe, simple as
So useful idiot then. You are literally being used by chud groomers from Discord lmao.
nah, I used this board long enough to notice you guys are not very decent people, I don't need a discrod chud to tell me that
I don't even care about this game but this is a war on truth at this point. The gas lighting on display on Ganker recently would put the USSR to shame.
>Nintendo releases a masterfully crafted piece of art that will define the entire medium for decades to come
>shitposters try to ruin this by making up lies about the game
>"WHY U SO FRAGILE"
>art
>medium
have a nice day, and I mean it really.
have a nice day by choking on diarrhea.
I've been hearing about this game and looked up there's a console called a Switch that's both a handheld and a regular console, that's crazy. Would you guys say a Switch is worth buying? I haven't gamed since around 2008 and even then I was a casual.
the game is overrated as hell, maybe not 5.6 tier but I can understand people being pissed at the price tag
I agree, I usually like Zelda games, but this game is just not up to usual standard. It's a rehash of BOTW and the new additions are mostly to the game's detriment, not it's improvement. A lot of the new abilities are OP as hell and completely remove all challenge and sense of accomplishment, as well as any risk from the "risk and reward" system of exploration from BOTW. even the exploration is worse as there's way less incentive to actually explore because the new abilities solve any and all problems effortlessly. They also hold your hand too much, in BOTW they at least let you discover most things on your own, in this game they condescendingly overexplain everything through pages and pages of text and tutorials, and push you to go specific paths way more.
shat the fuck are you talking about?
Dumbasses want to be upset to justify shitposting about sony/nintendo/whatever so they act disingenuous and pretend that the score is still 5
Metacritic is deleting negative reviews left and right.
Log back in and see if your review is still up, anon.
Metacritic isn't deleting negative reviews it is deleting lies from this sad Discord raid.
This is what you get when your console has been out for two years but still has yet to have one (1) game. PS5 and Xbox kids are shitting their pants out of pure spite.
Looks like a fun game, 720p is fine but 30fps and lower is pretty unforgivable.
>NOOOOO WE MUST ADDRESS THE MADE-UP PROBLEM OF REVIEW BOMBING LEADING TO OVERINFLATED NEGATIVE REVIEW SCORES!!!!!!!
>yesssss we must continue to ignore the real problem of journos writing pretend positive reviews because they're scared of getting blacklisted by nintendo
Suck it. Review bombing is a justified response to a bullshit system.
>gets a journo fired for giving the wrong number
>harasses metacritic to change their voting system
Snoys, not even once.
Do you retards even remember Skyward Sword?
>$70
>6 years
>6 new bosses, 6 new enemies (that's 2 enemies per year)
>most of those are jusr generic "shoot the eyeball" and then the boss staggers for 20 seconds
>dungeons are just 5-6 shrine puzzles stapled together
>Sky Islands look cool but are 5% of the game map
>Underground is barren wasteland with just red sludge, darkness and reskinned enemies
Nice Nintendo payed for every review anyways like they do for years...ex yakuza scums..kek
What's the point of user reviews if you're just gonna delete negative ones?
>The game has no dungeons and is literally the same game as Botw 1/10
This isn't a negative review. This is a lie.
No they didn't. The towns have the same geography but have all changed enormously. Stop lying on the internet garden gnome.
The dungeons are very small, to any old Zelda fan they just won't do
No they aren't. Stop lying retard.
Samefag.
>The towns have the same geography but have all changed enormously.
Examples.
>REEEE THEY DID NOT REHASH IT
>The towns have the same geography
tendies and logic, oil and water.
>reviews
are just marketing in disguise. you really can't find actual reviews of product anywhere anymore.
My tinfoil hat theory is that they know nobody trust critic reviews, so they try to inflate user scores so the game looks better, as that's the only score most people look at (even if it's not really accurate either)
Yeah review "bombing"
Now do the same thing for zeroes garden gnome.
Same shit you dumbfuck, point is these review scores are retarded anyways and people claiming that it's only one sided are double morons.
Or maybe people made accounts to review the game, if you actually read those posts and have played the game you can see that they contain factual information unlike the 0/10's which contain flat out lies like "the game has no new content", a statement that if posted by journalists would constitute libel.
color me surprised
The Nintendo cult strikes again.
>snoys magazine give snoy movie 10/10
>all is right with the world
>bing magazine give bing bing wahoo 10/10
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAVE ME moronMAN
Getting more and more retarded by the second.
>all is right with the world
You're just making up arguments to be mad at. None of us said this.
>It is okay if Nintendo does it, because Snoy does it too
What a retarded straw man.
I think I'm going to vomit
Our reviews are getting deleted
our raid is failing
probably going to kill myself
don't give up sister, we're still early in the campaign. gotta play the long game to beat them.
Why are people fussing about the resolution? Do you watch cartoons in 4K so you can see the pores on Bugs Bunny's face?
The thing is that this game is not even bad, just completely overpraised for no real reason.
totk is an 8 or 9 for gameplay and world map design
but minus 2 for being console exclusive and another minus 2 for being sub 30 fps
6/10 best i can do
But its 60fps on PC tho?
I didn't even like the gameplay that much, it's not suited to the game design it's put in, it's hard to put into words in short form, but all over the place, the mechanics don't fit together into a cohesive experience. It's OK, but it just doesn't manage to be good, let alone great.
>totk is an 8 or 9 for gameplay and world map design
You mean the very same map they designed almost a decade ago for their previous game? Absolute kek.
We shouldn't listen to people who bought this game.
Buying a 350 bucks console + 70 dollars for a game is gonna make you like it. Because the cope mechanic will overtake you.
In fact, we should only listen to people who played the superior emulated version
So you are only allowed to play and review f2p games? Wait you have to buy hardware for those aswell. You are only allowed to play and review tic tac toe
The game is a solid 7. Maybe an 8 if you've never played BotW.
since metacritic keeps censoring critical reviews, but keeps leaving 10/10s, is there any alternative website where users can honestly review games?
opencritic afaik only has journalist reviews.
It isn't censoring critical reviews it's deleting shit posts.
Then why isn't it deleting these
?
Because those aren't shit posts. Those are reviews. Going "GAME IS SHIT 1/10 REEEE NOTICE ME, GAME DOESN'T EVEN HAVE NEW THINGS BOTW CLONE LOL" is not a review.
and going "goty 10/10 anyone who disagrees is an angry twitter fag" isn't a shitpost?
It is if it has that second half, but I've seen no posts doing that.
Top right of the collage
Okay? So then that is a shit post, that doesn't negate the fact that the overwhelming number of 10/10s are inoffensive reviews and the overwhelming number of 0/10s are shit posts.
But it does show that they aren't deleting 10/10 shitposts, all I'm saying is they should remove both
No it shows that some of them are slipping through the cracks.
>game posts lists actually valid negative points. shitpost
>game posts blind praise calling GOTY without any supporting points whatsoever. not shitpost
You are a retard.
it's not deleting 10/10 shit posts, so nope you are wrong. also i didn't ask that, learn to fucking read retard.
This post is full of lies as well retard. I'm not going to waste my time picking apart every troll post from Metacritic.
the review is 100%, you are just some empty husk of a human being, who can't stand his goyslop being criticized, you shouldn't waste time "picking apart" anything (you are not intelligent enough to do so), you should spend time thinking about how to have a nice day.
Why are you so angry that people like this game?
> that people like this game?
I see no evidence of this. All of the 10/10 reviews I saw are from people with very low number of reviews without any evidence they have actually played the game. see
It's an objectively worse game than botw.
>I see no evidence of this
>Board is literally being overwhelmed with people reeing about this game

nice review site you have there
I put over 500 hours into botw but I don't care about totk at all. Feels weird man but at least I'm working on my backlog.
I also enjoyed BotW a lot but when I started playing the new one I had to stop after a few minutes when I realized it was the same exact shit. There's no way I'm going to sink hundreds of hours again I
the exact same shit when theres thousands of other things to do with my life.
What's worse is that, yes, it's the same as BOTW, but it's actually worse because the new abilities are OP which ruins the risk/reward feeling of the game. Why bother sneaking up on an enemy camp, and taking them out one by one with stealth and use of terrain hazards against them, when I can just glue some boulders to some sticks and be able to beat their brains out easily with no effort?
they 2 different games
fallout focus more on story
when totk doesnt
zelda focus on exploration plus mix between puzzles and combat
>fallout focus more on story
No, it doesn't hahahah
Fucking weebs, man
You will all hate me for this, but hear me out:
Both games are good in their own right.
The gameplay is completely different. Zelda is more of a creative puzzle sandbox game, while New Vegas is a more traditional RPG.

It's obviously not a five-anything. All the dorks I've watched footage from have said it was a solid game, if not a bit juvenile. I only watch people who hate nintendo products so that was surprising. I'm betting it is a fair and righteous video. Maybe 8/10?
>Why don't you play the game?
No, I dislike nintendo, also I've never played any Zelda game and I'm not about to start now.

tendies are absolutely seething lmao no other fagbase are this pathetic when it comes to troll reviews
The funniest part about this is that the game has been at an 8.X for almost a day now, after it actually came out, and people like OP still post this shit in the vain hope it might be still real on here atleast, so they can have their usual shitflinging.
you realize people cant possibly clear best game of the century same day on release?
What are you even trying to say?
I don't get why all of you get so uppity. Games have become the same as clothes brands/luxury brands long time ago. Blizzard, Nintendo, Activision, CdRed can release the most lazy copy pasted dogshit in existence with the most predatory monetization in existence or at $70 and there will still be millions of cucks buying it out just because of pokemon/zelda/CoD/WoW whatever else they got title. In 50 years they will be still doing the next editions of these games because it works and retards buy it instantly in millions. Some new Indie studio could make the best game ever better than these big studio and even with good media clout they will max reach 5% of Zelda sales. It's literally the same mentality as with people buying whatever dogshit at whatever price from Nike/BMW/Mercedes/gucci and all the other overhyped IRL brands.
>Blizzard, Nintendo, Activision, CdRed can release the most lazy copy pasted dogshit in existence
And From Software, don't forget about them. Dark Souls 2 was their last original game, and that was 9-10 years ago.
>DS2 chud enter the thread
like a clockwork
also no lol FromSoftware is the last japanese dev that innovates.
>Dark Souls 2 was their last original game
Sekiro came out in 2019 retard
Sekiro is a bad copy of superior Ninja Blade.
yep
It's the "information age" and people don't understand what inflation is and why a game with no microtransaction like blizzard dross needs to charge $70
brave new world
the price of games has not increased, the value of your money has decreased because of rampant money printing
STOP REVIEW BOMBING ZELDA YOU CHUDS
YOU'RE HURTING NINDENDO!
>user review
Literally just a battleground where console- and political wars are fought, and therefore entirely point- and useless for people who actually care about video games.
Proof that retards can't be trusted an opinion. Just shut it down at that point.
>tendie trannies crying and shitting themselves over a children's game again
like a clockwork
Why does Metacritic not have a system where they work with devs and bundle a digital code to let users sign in and input said digital code to let them provide a user review on their website for console users? That way no one can just reviewbomb new released games? I know its not their place to care that much, but when you make a website you generally want it to be the best that it can be if you want to be a credible source for overall reviews of professionals and customers.
You don't get it? User reviews are written by typical Ganker users - people who don't play games.
If you turn off user reviews, or if you try to make something similar to Steam reviews (I dunno, link to account and post proof that you palyed the game), Metacritic would lose over 50% of users/views.
that way they cant please investors, my man
Imagine giving a single fuck about User Score at this point when it somehow manages to be even worse than journochud scores.
On Steam you'll get """"reviews""" by retards who are trying extra hard to leave funny and witty redditor comments, checklist reviews, among other kinds of self-important attention whores brapping out their shitty little undercooked opinion after 30 minutes of play.
On metacritic it's just literal manbabies engaging in console wars and muh politix and le heggin epic review bomberinos.
Who gives a fuck about scores nowadays?
ME
Tendies. They have an inferiority complex and have to overcompensate

that's accurate

fuck 2023 gaming i hate you all
Have you tried not being a graficsfag?
Have you tried having standards? Oh right, you're a tendie, you never had any standards to begin with. You'll just gobble up any bile that Nintendo vomits up as a good mindless consumer drone.
NTA
I will sell my copy. Pray tell, dear user, which game should I buy? I want to hear your recommendations.
Have you tried getting a job instead of seething over things mom won't buy you?
>he accused me of being mindless consumer drone
>better post a picture to prove him exactly right
lol
lmao
>Have you tried not being a graficsfag?
framerate is more tied to gameplay than graphics
should've thought about that before raising the price to $70 on an outdated system
Why do tendies always over rate their games? IGN and the Guardian ratings don't matter, they give everything 10
it was review bombed by a reviewers
hard 7 given a 10 across the board...just not reality
love to see ninchuds malding at their dlc reharsh being rightfully exposed as hot stinking garbage
how long before kotaku goes bankrupt, pedo gay?
I agree that no game deserves 10/10
But let's be honest here, the only people who are review bombing this are assblasted Kotaku readers.
>company just doesnt even bother to make a new game but sells same game as sequel anyway
>people on video game "enthusiast" website image board messaging system assign it the score of a 10/10 in quality
Ganker is completely 100% over, I'm ready for usernames again.
It won't stop the shitposting anon.
People here just have an irrational hatred for Nintendo.
no people here have an overwhelming irrational love for nintendo
i just want to completely exclude people like that from all conversation, there's no reason for this board anymore
btw everyone on here will be an AI in 6 months and some of you will sit here for years arguing with "people" and not realizing it
I don't even know if I'm getting totk yet, but you gays have been upset over people merely liking Nintendo since BOTW at least
>no people here have an overwhelming irrational love for nintendo
Hatred anon. Zelda being the perfect example of it since discussion from people who liked it died within a year of botw's release yet the shitposting continued for six years.
If people had an irrational love for Nintendo here you would be able to point out anons like you can Eric and ACfag.
>discussion from people who liked it died within a year
Just goes to show that it was completely inauthentic manufactured "liking". Also you can't "point out" mindless NPCs, that's the thing - their whole personality begins and ends with liking the product. The fact that you can point out haters means they're actual people. Which is absolutely ironic considering your post.
>Just goes to show that it was completely inauthentic manufactured "liking".
No, that's just what people do once they've done everything. It would be manufacutred if it continued past that like the constant bloodborne threads we used to have even though there was nothing to talk about anymore.
>it was completely inauthentic manufactured "liking".
The cope just gets funnier. Comedy gold lmao
>The fact that you can point out haters means they're actual people.
No, no they aren't.

They're literal npcs that can only repeat one default line.
Kek TotK mindbroke this place. Just as I knew it would.
>They're literal npcs that can only repeat one default line.
Yeah, and the line is
>TotK is the game of the decade, a literal masterpiece and a 10/10
When in reality, they're getting garden gnome'd out of their money by buying the same exact garbage as 6 years ago, only this time it's $10 more lmao
Yeah sure it is.
Only you have ever uttered that anon.
>pretending to be retarded
no need for that, you're a tendie, so being retarded is a must
Look anon, I get it you want Nintendo to fail for reasons only you and you alone will know.
But I don't care, no one does. You're just shitposting into the void like a homeless man on crack.
>you want Nintendo to fail
I want them all to fail - Snoy, Microsoft, Nintendo. All of the them. Tendies are just he most obnoxious and rabid ones, so there's that.
>You're just shitposting into the void
Yeah, the void that is the average tendie's cranium.
>Tendies are just he most obnoxious and rabid ones, so there's that.
So are you calling yourself a tendie?
After all you're currently taking up the role of most obnoxious and rabid right now.
>TotK is a masterpiece
Called it lmao
True NPC's
Anon, we all know you're the one making the masterpiece posts.
>we all know
You and your multiple personalities, all equally deranged? Lmfao, cope harder tendiechud.
nope, we love Japanese devs. It's only the leftie kotaku pedos who are trying to boycot it.
The absolute state of schizos. Nintendo mindbroke them all over again.
we all hate those kotaku pedos
It is literally impossible for me to like more than 1 video game at a time. I have to hate everything else other than what is immediately in front of me at all times. Is there something wrong with me?
It's a massive disappointment; not at all worth the $70 price tag nor the 6-year wait.
hi kotaku pedo. how long are you guys going to cry this time?
>It's a massive disappointment; not at all worth the $70 price tag nor the 6-year wait.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
>early reports are all saying sales are massively under the estimates
Oh no no no no no no no, tendiebros, did we get too cocky?
other than his autistic rambling, are any of his points wrong though?
>you dare to criticize Nintendo?!
>you must be insane!
>celshading
this guy has no idea what hes talking about
Everyone else seems to think it uses cel shading, I think maybe it is you who doesn't know what he's talking about
BotW killed Zelda. It is Zelda in name only. Can't believe the trash fucking plot of both of these games.
BotW saved Zelda from a downward spiral.
TotK is a masterpiece and probably the best Zelda game ever.
It saved it for one game.
ToTK is proof that it's just heading into a different downward spiral.
DESU, nothing's going to change until they remove Miyamoto and Aonuma out of the picture.
>ToTK is proof that it's just heading into a different downward spiral
Eh?
ToTK didn't fix any of the inherent issues from BotW (aside from better bosses. That doesn't bode well for future games.
>world still feels empty, repetitive and recycled
>enemy variety is still garbage
>durability is even worse with the fusing bullshit
>most shrines are still low-quality garbage that offer little reward
>Story is absolutely disjointed, unemotional, lore-breaking dogshit, probably the worst story we've ever seen in a mainline console Zelda title
>ToTK didn't fix any of the inherent issues from BotW
Except for more enemies, more bosses, more weapons, reasons to explore beyond shrines, no "Ubisoft" towers, faster methods of traversal, more interaction methods.
Which one to believe? Hmmm
>ToTK didn't fix any of the inherent issues from BotW.
BotW? That game which is consistently considered one of the greatest video games ever made? Your "inherent issues" are your own mental illness.
>6 years
>same exact barren map
>That game which is consistently considered one of the greatest video games ever made?
Considered as such by braindead retards, so it doesn't amount to anything.
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why so jealous?
>can't decipher simple words
Jealous? Jealous of what? Of mental illness? Of crippling retardation? Of liking absolute garbage? Yeah, something a nincel would say. Absolute nonsensical gibberish.
because he's a kotaku npc pedo. he has no brain or soul
Twilight Princess was dogshit. You have garbage taste
we cant stop winning Nintenbros...nolifers are seething for 60fps like it makes a difference in having fun or not
Why do people even care, this shit happens for basically every game.
>this shit happens for basically every game.
You'd be surprised how little it actually happens.
BotW and TotK ARE Redditcore games, O Trannintendomanchild. Now fuck off back to your containment board
.
nintendo denied kotaku a review copy, so you inbred pedos use v to pretend everyone hates the new zelda game. you retards are too dumb to do this
It's at 8.5 now. For a huge modern AAA game that is surprising.
there's no such thing as a review bomb. if lots of people don't like the game and the rating goes down, that's a review aggregator doing what it's supposed to.
kotaku is trying to review bomb it, but yeah. you saw how their hogwarts boycot went
I am so fucking sick of Snoys. I am dedicating my entire day to making several accounts and leaving 1/10 reviews on the very few Snoy exclusives that even exist. Fuck you all.
I don't even own a Piss5 since I don't worship black people and homos and I'd still rate this game a 4/10
>on the very few Snoy exclusives that even exist
Demon's Souls Remake and...um...
Sony derangement
It could be, but you didn't list exclusives. Why?
For me the worst part is not only having Korok shit in the game again but this time being forced/encouraged to use the gay ass building feature to solve them.
Tendies
>Critic reviews are not important! Audience ratings are what really matter
Also Tendies
> User reviews are not important. The critics are the only ones who know what they're talking about!
They're mentally still kids so it's fitting they're hypocrites. Can't even be mad at kids being kids. Well, if you aren't considering that most of Nintendo fans are fat and ugly 30+ yo manchildren with extreme retardation.
I pirated totk and think it's mediocre, but I went to see this movie and enjoyed it. Imo Nintendo should quit making games and become a film company instead
1) thats movie. Movie critics were baffled by the movie because they don't understand the games. Actual video game sites which reviewed the movie thought it was great.
2) whataboutism
Sad. Pathetic. And mentally ill. I demand you keep seething. Don't ever get over it.
Now this is prime nincel cope. Absolutely delicious. Keep it coming.
Tendies do it to other games all the time
>all these reviews crying about the price
Idk what they're whining about. I got the game for free and can play it at 4k 60 fps.
$70 lmfao
5.6 is what it would have gotten from critics if it wasn't a Nintendo game. It took them 6 years to release the same exact game with retarded "put meat on your sword and it becomes a meat sword lol" or "combine logs and fans to make a vehicle that barely goes forward for 3 seconds" shit that no one will ever do other than Redditors to get upvotes. It's a romhack, the most disappointing sequel in video game history.
That would be Nuts and Bolts, that shit still takes the cake
spam that pasta, kotaku npc pedo
posts a chud, while trying to blame nintendo for being gays. jej
that was woke trash. not even a game. you can't compare the 2
>it's fine when MY side review bombs a game
lol
that's not what happened. people hated tlou2. People love nintendo. You are so detached from reality.
>that's not what happened.
>it doesn't count when our side did it!!!
hahahahahah
I just said it didn't happen. God, you kotaku pedo gays are stupid.
So you're just going to deny reality?
Nope, that's what you're doing. I love the zelda games and nintendo, and hated tlou2 because it was inbred semetic garbage. Lots of normal and sane people think the same way as I do. That's why you weirdos are so upset. You are the hated and ignored minority
So it doesn't count as review bombing because it's a game you don't like. Lol okay kid
If it's an honest review about how shit the game is, it's not review bombing. If it's you kotatu spergs trying to get nintendo cancelled, because you are buthurt racists. Then it's reviewbombing. It's not complicated, retardbro
>an honest review
It wasn't.
>People love nintendo
In order to be considered human one needs to be sentient. Nintendofags aren't. They're mindless consumer drones. Simple as.
Spam that pasta, kotaku npc gay. Because you can't think for yourself. kek
That's what kotaku has been doing for years. I am glad you agree they are bottomfeeding trash.
Based ESL
It's perfect English. All you did was show that you can't read.
Good, fuck nintendo
Something is telling me that a lot of these reviewers reviewed Nintendo games with 0s and reviewed Sony exclusives with 10s
ToTK is another vector of the WOKE mind virus.
Nintendo is trying to feminize Western youth out of revenge for WWII.
hot
I'm not a big fan of the game, but I found nothing woke in it yet
>WOKE mind virus.
>Nintendo is trying to feminize Western youth out of revenge for WWII.
Meanwhile in reality
>Rex has an harem in Xenoblade and had children
>Shulk, also from Xenoblade, has a hetero relationship
>Leongar, from Kirby is in a hetero relationship
>Link is implied to have a relationship with Zelda
>Sidon is engaged to a Zora girl in TotK
>Ganondorf is once again a villain that deserves no sympathy
b-but this random chud on Twitter!
a bit late but you should check the rest of their reviews https://www.metacritic.com/user/OnlyOneHere?page=0
>186 games in total
>161 negative reviews
Meaning
>87% of all games he played and reviewed are bad
Is this some kind of fetish?
Probably only reviews games since the site started.
But it's fine when this happened to TLOU2 right?
https://www.metacritic.com/user/OnlyOneHere?page=14
Kids only care about graphics
Game could be shit but if its in 4k and 60fps they would buy it
He clearly didnt even play totk
If someone didnt like botw then he will not like totk
I get you can dont like something but giving 0 is retarded and cringe.
Not sure why all these folks are upset about a $70 game running at 30 fps, 720p.
I didn't pay anything and it runs at 60 fps at 1080p.
I'm enjoying the game, but it really is just an expansion pack
I'd feel bad if I paid $70 for it (got it for free, lol)
I paid $50 with a voucher and I feel like thats $10 too much.
BOTW could've had 2 DLC expansions, one focusing on the depths and one focusing on the sky, with each one sold separately for $20 or bundled for $40. That's basically what TOTK is.
Imagine the type of person that justifies themselves lying to children to take their money.
Nintendo knows that their "fanbase" are "children" in name only. In reality they're smelly fat and dumb manchildren slobs. No reason not to garden gnome them out of their money. Victimless crime.
ITT: people posting their reviews and replying to themselves
>review bomb
>33 reviews
Hyperbole being swallowed wholesale as the truth by the general population is one of the worst things to come out of the social media age.
6 more years
i left a 7/10 that elaborated quite well and a lot of people found it helpful lol
They could have done ANYTHING with this game. Instead, the did the same thing as before, but now you can stick things together. Amazing. Could have had any kind of levels, but instead you got the same map as before. Could have fixed any of the very unpopular and annoying mechanics, but no. Item durability is arguably worse. Could have done anything with the story, but no. it's just more "u r link, u have to stop bad ganon". Imagine paying 20 dollars for this shit, let alone 70.
Consumer reviews are like any other product, you review it based on your satisfaction, this includes price unlike “critical” reviews.
In general, “review bombing” really ends balancing out the 10/10s from either paid marketers, fanboys, etc. So if the negative overtakes the positive there’s something wrong with the product. And there is.
This is a $70 DLC.
Seriously, this could have been an easy slam dunk. All they had to do for BotW 2 was just clean up the first game a bit, QoL stuff like less menu-ing, add fully realized dungeons, maybe spend more than 2 hours working on the story script, etc. Everyone from the zoomer to the boomer would be shitting and pissing their paints. Change the UI, you can keep the meme adaptive music but add actual songs too. Just take BotW and amp everything besides the sandbox. Instead they did the opposite, where I can’t even say they did the bare minimum on the non-sandbox aspects because they couldn’t even provide a new map.
It seems like such a cynical release, like they chose the sandbox route because they knew people would make le wacky videos on social media. If they wanted that shit, I have a solution: just add a fucking randomized to the game. Zoomers and streamers love that shit, especially for Zelda. I doubt it would be harder to implement than the fuse shit
Imagine getting filtered by a zelda game. kek
Imagine getting filtered by genetics. Well, nintendofags don't need to image since they know that in order to have fun with Nintendo games you have to have an extra chromosome or two. Well, they would know, if only they weren't terminally retarded that is.
They really both kind of garbage. Playing through the first one was just a chore, and going back to look at it again, there's nothing much to do in the game. It's just a bland, pale mess where you go from place to place collecting seeds from mind-numbing puzzles.
The second one is all of that, but somehow lesser.
>you are not the target audience
probably not? I fail to see who the target audience might be, other than "people who want to justify the purchase of a switch", but the remake of link's awakening could have done that while also being a fun, tightly-paced, well thought-out game with plenty to do and see and with an actual...game...behind it?
You need a soul to enjoy it.
The opposite is probably true, actually. You need to be a drooling retard who thinks putting a round object in a round hole is the height of entertainment.
you are not the target audience
true. Everything you kotaku pedos say about the zelda game is a lie.
>you are not the target audience
True. Retarded mouth breathing manchildren with Down's Syndrome are.
Based. We all know older Zelda was for intellectual grown adults unlike the braindead zoomer shit of today!
The combat is legitimately ass though. Why does it require so much menuing to do shit? Why are the movesets so miserably shallow? Why is the flurry rush even a thing? Why is everything so robotic and archaic with this combat? Holy shit i feel like i'm playing a 20 year old game.
>Why does it require so much menuing to do shit
Probably because they saw people loved those shitty .webms of epic troll psychics combat
totk is good
That's not a bad review at all.
did they put more pedobait andcrossdressing in this one? Nintendo fans like that
They took out the Gerudo costume and replaced it with a "Gerudo Voe" costume, because apparently the all-woman race just happens to have some mens' clothing lying around.
Also they added in an outfit with a womb tattoo and a rubber gimpsuit.
>

no fuckin way. You're yanking my chain

lol who even likes this child nintendo shit
People who had no proper childhood. Pretty sad really.
