Reviews seem in line with what I expected. Not a day one buy but I'll get it down the road when it's on sale.

but for real gg on introducing botw comparisons into the review thread for Spider-Man y'all
i mean Jesus Christ
Hard for a first party game to compete with a multiplatform game.
Quite so. It's getting great reviews. Really, really great.
Stop arguing against Metacritic. He decided that GTA IV and a random skate game are better than Botw. It's over you can't change the mind of a celestial God.
Reviews are looking good. Eager to play Friday even if I still don't have the highest expectations for the writing/story.
Zelda BOTW mostly copies the Elder scrolls open world formula, it was not a big risk imo. It's what Zelda fans always wanted.
Looks like not agreeing with BOTW's score is a sensitive topic for a lot of people.
Zelda BOTW is still a great game though but FAR from a near perfect game imo, looks like that's a controversial statement here.
Anyway I'll leave it be. Have fun playing whatever you guys want.
Not at all. Metacritic is a weighted average system and this is the ranking:
854. (first 88 rated game)
919. Spider-Man PS4
1077. (first 86 rated game)
Long way to go to make it back to 88.
Lol.
To get serious, it's mind-boggling to me how a metacritic score matters to people here so much, especially when it comes to a +1/-1 difference.
Like......why.
The industry's emphasis on story meant GoW was never going to lose to Spider-Man. In the end, Spider-Man simply was unlikely to tell the kind of gripping story that could beat GoW.
Sales are one thing, but anyone thinking this was going to beat GoW critically was asking too much.
Dunno if BotW and GTA IV are all that comparable. The former is an 89 and the latter is a 64.
Someone posted an extremely bait-y post about BotW in response to a joke and someone else is peddling Belda yet again. Basically.
Lol this confirms to me that you didn't play the game at all.
Please make it stop.
It's getting pathetic, truth be told. Spidey and Zelda looks completely different. Only point of comparison is that they're classed as open-world. They're very different mechanically lol
LMAO, woooooow.
I'm gonna assume that your first exposure to the Zelda fanbase was post-Breath of the Wild because that's the only way you could earnestly believe this.
No, dude. An open-world 3D Zelda isn't what Zelda fans always wanted. It's literally the opposite of what Zelda fans always wanted. You'd know that if you knew about Zelda fans.
Because Zelda fans can never resist bringing it up.
BoTW is great but it didn't change the landscape. It isn't a MARIO 64, GTA3, Halo, RE4, Uncharted 2, Minecraft, or COD4. It's just a really good Zelda game.
Critical success down.
Now we just need the "Spider-Man sold X units in Y days; best selling Insomniac game ever" level commercial success.
Y'all on the come up, Insomniac!

Maybe it could, but is the "baron [sic], aimless" tag necessary? Obviously the people who think BotW is a step forward for the open-world genre don't feel that way, and loading your question like that makes it sound like you don't really want an answer as to how BotW can inform open-world designers going forward.
Lol you know full well half of the votes will be from fanboys of other consoles just so they could come into the review thread and say the game scored less than people expected.
When did an 87 average become mixed signals by the way? I know I'm old but to me an 87 for a game i was interested in is an instant purchase.
Maybe play the game before you write things that are clearly false? That ES comparison...laughable
Are you really downplaying a +1/-1 difference? Am i reading this right? Look at the massive difference in quality between Bioshock and Halo 2. The first is a decent game i would rent the second is pure garbage crap ( only 95 on MC bleah )
More excel fun.
33.4% voted for 90+, 62% of the reviews scored 90+
44.9% voted for 86-89, 7.6% of the reviews scored 86-89
17.9% voted for 80-85, 24.1% of the reviews scored 80-85
3.7% voted for 80-, 6.3% of the reviews scored lower than 80
It's not a direct comparison, but numbers are fun.
Wait, whaaaa? Lots of Zelda fans wanted that. Maybe not in the exact way BotW executes it, but BotW was made in direct response to SS linearity complaints
Been playing Zelda since the NES. Zelda fans I know always wanted a true open world game.
.....so spider man looks good right guys?
I was just responding to the other comment regarding that 'no one expected better', so I don't know what you're referring to with your second sentence there. I agree- 87 is great.
And the poll was absolutely fine whilst it was ongoing as far as I'm aware- I didn't know that it was sabotaged at all. Do you have proof of that?
I'm happy to hear that just goofing off around the city is fun. That's the main thing I was hoping for in this game, having it just be something that feels fun to play regardless of missions and such.
actually, it was brought up in this thread as a joke and someone who really dislikes the game made a post railing on it. one that they got warned for. that's how it happened. actually.
something tells me you knew that, though, and just chose not to give a shit
I can recall years of people explaining in detail how 3D Zelda would not work as an open world game. It was a point of contention among Zelda fans for years.

I don't think what you've described would change the game much, since what you've described actually already occurs in the game to some extent only without the same level of variable accountability, but I do like your idea none-the-less.
I love BotW but don't really care about scores, it just seemed like the exact same talking point.
All the praise it's getting is going to make the weekend wait unbearable. :(
I've yet to make a choice, between the bundle, or the game. I have both preordered, but time is running out. :x

Buying the superior game.
So spiderman? BECAUSE IT STARTS WITH AN "S" there for making Superior?
With less critics.....but anyway. I'll get both as well.
Buying the superior game.
Buying the superior game.
To be fair, Spider-Man was at 88 when it had a similar number of reviews.
Honestly Dragon Quest IP in the West need it too
Buying the superior game.
