By livefromkyoto Go To PostThe first review for Breath of the Wild is in, Edge gave it a 10.People are still terrified to give Zelda games honest ratings
Horizon & Nioh both got 9s.
By DY_nasty Go To PostPeople are still terrified to give Zelda games honest ratings
So I kind of want to argue that, because this is the list of every game they've ever given a 10 and they're all legit...
Super Mario 64
Gran Turismo
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Halo: Combat Evolved
Half-Life 2
Halo 3
The Orange Box
Super Mario Galaxy
Grand Theft Auto IV
LittleBigPlanet
Bayonetta
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Rock Band 3
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The Last of Us
Grand Theft Auto V
Bayonetta 2
Bloodborne
...except one really inconvenient one.
as good as skyward sword then
mario odyssey will also get a 10. almost like there's a trend with edge and nintendo.

You can't be serious. I've never actually played Skyward Sword so I can't speak to it, but it has a 93 metacritic so it's not like it was just them. And the others on that list are unquestioned classics - had the games media not sold their collective souls for Grand Theft Auto IV clicks, the two Galaxies would be the highest rated games of all time. And Mario 64 and Ocarina are, along with Doom, probably the most important 3D games ever made.
Hard to call it a bias, if the games are all quality. The only questionable inclusion is Skyward Sword, and not because it was a bad game. It had issues that got overlooked, the same way that GTA IV did. The rest of the nintendo games on that list absolutely deserve to be there, especially OOT.
I should have also mentioned that EDGE, like Eurogamer, are biased with Engerlund games.
So disregard their Engerlund games reviews.

LittleBigPlanet is pretty damn good though. Floaty platforming and all, it's probably the most fun multiplayer game I played on PS3.
By jjasper Go To PostI dunno LittleBigPlanet is pretty questionable.
I meant the nintendo games specifically. LittleBigPlanet was fun though. :(
LittleBigPlanet and GTA IV are also huge games in scope. Online modes are endless. They're both good games.
The Edge list is commendable. I remember GameSpot had credibility like that in the late 90's with Kasavin.

Are we really questioning a review score for a game none of us have played yet? lol.
Scores are pretty pointless at the end of the day. The text in the review is more important than the score, especially if you're wondering if you want to buy a game or not. At least, that's how I use reviews to help determine if I'm buying a game or not.
In terms of Breath of the Wild, most people who want that game will buy it regardless of the reviews. For games that I already know I want, reviews are meaningless.

By Hitch Go To PostErrZelda da bes
You left BotW in your list…
By Hitch Go To PostNintendo fans, manThe worst.
DMC4 > Bayonetta. There's a lot I don't like about Bayonetta, not a fan of the witch time mechanic and I hate the art direction so much.Neither of them are 10s though. I'd say high 7 or low 8.
Not a huge fan of the orange box, Portal was the only game I really enjoyed, Half Life 2 is overrated as fuck. I'd give it a 6.
Bloodborne is Great, high 8 or low 9.

I'll always love Skyward sword because of how it was so dense with puzzles (my favorite part of Zelda games) the motion control swordplay, while completely functional, didn't really add anything for me, the gyro aiming on the other hand was a phenomenal experience.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostThe first review for Breath of the Wild is in, Edge gave it a 10.don't want to get cut off from Nintendo games
Horizon & Nioh both got 9s.
I think BOTW will be really good.
It's felt that way for every game lately. Seems like every new release is treated as the second coming of Christ when it drops. Then a month later no one is playing it

really now? reviews are a lot more stringent these days. for all the praise horizon and nioh have gotten, they're below 90 on metacritic.
5 years ago stuff like far cry 3 was getting 90+
I like Night In The Woods a lot but I don't know if I can recommend it
It's basically like Persona without the RPG and with a very small town American POV.

tbf most forum-frequenters are of an age where games don't have to last more than a month as they can afford it, and we're getting a steady stream of good releases. Why would anyone still be talking about RE7, for instance?
zelda will probably be good but i wanna see if anyone still calls it the most important moment in gaming history a year from now
By Xpike Go To Postzelda will probably be good but i wanna see if anyone still calls it the most important moment in gaming history a year from nowI don't think anyone's called it that now...
By Hitch Go To PostWoah, the in-game map in Horizon looks greatyep
Lol at halo 3 10 vs halo ce 9
Just got my ps4 pro. Netflix app doesn't support hdr smh. Installing infinite warfare to test the hdr and 4k on that.

By Smokey Go To Postthe non stop fapwars to zelda every 5 years is disgustingThat's a weird thing to be disgusted by. People like things, let them rock.
And as far as that Edge list, anyone who looks at that list and calls out Skyward Sword instead of the digital garbage that is little big planet is not someone I wanna discuss video games with. I'm sorry.
By s y Go To PostHalf Life 2 is overrated as fuck. I'd give it a 6.only good opinion you've had
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostLol at halo 3 10 vs halo ce 9
3 had 4 player coop and great online MP and a hell of a lot more with forge and shit. some impressive features that are standard today debuted with 3, it deserves a 10 back when it came out.
ce was fine
By Smokey Go To Postthe non stop fapwars to zelda every 5 years is disgustinglet it go dude.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostLol at halo 3 10 vs halo ce 9Do you have the four screen Netflix plan? I know that is required for hdr.

I recently played Bayonetta 2. No performance issues detected
Bayonetta 1 tho...frame drops everywhere.

By Haz Go To PostAre we really questioning a review score for a game none of us have played yet? lol.I was writing reviews when R* threatened sites about SoE so yeah it's a fair point

I'm not really talking numbers. I'm talking about the content. It seems like a lot of reviews are written without even finishing the game nowadays.
I get that that's probably just the nature of reviews given constraints on time and the volume of releases, but it's hard to understand how people are still so invested in them.
Going to restart my playthrough in Pillars because I want to play a Monk lol Already put 50 hours in my initial playthrough lol
By Kibner Go To PostDo you have the four screen Netflix plan? I know that is required for hdr.
It works for my tv Netflix app but I don't get good signal through it for some reason so I was excited for ps4 pro Netflix app but apparently it doesn't do hdr smh. Oh well, only a small amount of content with that anyway.
I played infinite warfare for like five hours. The campaign is really fun. I didn't get an hdr notification but I'm pretty sure it was working. It looked great and game is really immersive. Hoping I can beat and return it by Monday since Gamestop is releasing horizon Monday night.
I couldn't tell if the 4k was checkerboard or not. Apparently it goes back and forth. But I was impressed.
Oh and I got this ps4 pro refurbished from Gamestop. Fan noise is fine. It's not silent but it's not absurd. Obviously couldn't hear it when I put my surround phones on. Apparently it's a luck of the draw on fan noise though so ymmv.
