Jake. 24-10-2017 09:03 AM

Was gonna make one so well done for beating me to it

So excited for this

Jay28jay2 24-10-2017 09:43 AM

I'm preordering it too <3 Can't wait eventhough i've spoilt most of the game for myself because of the leaks

Rufus 24-10-2017 01:39 PM

This is the game I've been most looking forward to this year (apart from the Crash remakes) so I'm really hyped!

30+ 10/10 scores :amazed:

Jamie89 26-10-2017 05:29 PM

I can't decide if I want it. It's getting great reviews but I dunno if I'll like it :think:

user104658 26-10-2017 08:05 PM

Got to be honest, and I'm sure it's good and everything but... I'm pretty much convinced that Nintendo is buying reviews (not just for this, but in general).

Well that’s just ridiculous

Jake. 26-10-2017 08:57 PM

Anyway, :clap1: at the reviews

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 26-10-2017 08:58 PM

how can they be buying reviews though when there’s like 60 outstanding reviews surely they can’t be paying for all of them?

They have no need to pay for them, Mario has always (rightfully) received acclaim!

rk3388 26-10-2017 09:54 PM

The sign that they're paying for reviews is if there are large differences between review score- there is zero chance that Breath of the Wild or Odyssey paid for reviews

rk3388 26-10-2017 09:54 PM

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow morning so hopefully Walmart has them in stock!

rk3388 26-10-2017 09:56 PM

Also just bought Mario and Rabbids on a whim because it was 40% off here in Canada (for a two-month old game) :O

I'm not saying Nintendo games aren't often GREAT games... it's just that the number that are 100% or 10/10 seems disproportionate to other games that are just as great? I mean... really? 10/10, literally zero flaws? Breath Of The Wild getting an array of 10/10 scores when it had notable framerate problems that must have been present for launch reviewers? :think: That doesn't make sense either.

See I'm not saying these aren't 9/10 amazing games... just wondering if there might be some kickbacks going on to nudge some of those 9's to a 10 :joker:

I suppose it's more likely that it's just plain ol' nostaligia making reviewers ignore small flaws, though. I do wish reviewers were more impartial than that, though. A 10/10 should be something exceptionally rare, surely... reserved for games that are well made, well written, AND with zero (or damn close to zero) technical issues. A masterpiece of story and gameplay that suffers stuttering or framerate drops is a 9/10...

Tom4784 27-10-2017 01:08 PM

No game is perfect, I often take 10/10's to mean 'Yeah it has some issues but the game itself overcomes them completely'.

BOTW has framerate issues but that doesn't make it any less of a 10/10 game.

Ramsay 27-10-2017 04:18 PM

Must save money to get a switch.

Jay28jay2 27-10-2017 04:22 PM

Still waiting for mine to be delivered, mum isn't home so I have no clue if its even there

Yeah I'd agree with this. I think game reviews should just be based on how enjoyable a game is. If a game has issues but it's still 10/10 in terms of enjoyment then so be it. The frame rate drops in BotW are pretty rare as well, certainly not enough to account for a 10% drop in the game's score.

breath of the wild isn’t a 10/10 anyway :worry:
