You fucking complotists, do you really think Nintendo paid reviewers for this game ? -.- I hate the Temp's review because it's simply dishonbest and only wants to give a 7/10 to be different. Yes that's clickbait. You click on that 7/10, you expect a good and honest review and you get a smelly piece of shit with crap arguments.
Now, you'll call me a fanboy. But I'm am just extremely pissed. Move your butt, and go on the list of reviews. Pokémon SM got 6.2, Sonic Lost World got 6.8, and you are giving Zelda BOTW a 7 ? That's not logic. Furthermore, Twilight Princess HD got a 8.2 Are you kidding me ? So this review is bullshit, will bullshit arguments, and bullshit notation. Just because its writer must be raging or frustrated or something, and wants to be 'OMG diffrnt cuz me honest others ped by bigN'.

I don't know that I'd call it clickbait, but it reeks of deliberate traffic manipulation. There're very good reasons to rate the game lower than 9 or 10, but most of the negatives listed are highly opinionated or just factually wrong. Doesn't help that staff members are intentionally misrepresenting their relation with the site to try and drive more traffic to the review.

And every single comment in this gamefaqs topic adds to my point: the review is amateurish and full of shit.

7, but you wanna know why? Because it stands out. If you actually read the review you'll see that it's actually well worded and is the Reviewers opinion.
I read it, and it's a bucket of smelly shit mixed with piss, on which someone vomitted. Arguments with zero value, arrogant PoV, treats the programmers as idiots. This is an amateurish shit.

Again, Reviewers opinion, learn to respect others opinions...

Plus, does this affect you? No. Not at all.

It does, cause GBATemp puts in frontpage and as an 'official' review this thing. Again, Sonic Lost World got a 6.8 on the official review.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And his opinion wouldn't affect me if it was well-argumented. For example, the other submitted BOTW review, which has also a 7, doesn't bother me because the reviewer clearly says that this is his opinion and explains honestly what pisses him off.

Then why are you posting?
He's throwing shit to the Reviewer, disrespecting his opinion. He needs to understand that humans have different opinions, and he should respect them..

Sonic Lost World got a 6.8 on the official review.
So? From what I have seen, Sonic games have been getting worse for a while now.. Some have been good, some have been horrible.

I am not trying to fight or anything, I'll I want is you to at least respect the opinion from the Reviewer, even if the review is "badly written" it's still a his opinion on it...

So you find it even berable that a crap Sonic game gets the same grade as BOTW ?

I'm sorry, I know you are just trying to be funny but I don't really see this response as appropriate, considering how one of the staff has linked the review in the first place looking for opinions. You can't just go back on what it's been done by acting like you don't care. I agree that the review was fine, but this is incredibly immature.

7 is not a bad rating man, it's decent. Plus who knows, new updates might fix some stuff that could fix some stuff, that could help filling the world a bit more(one of the reviewer's cons..).

Plus, Sonic Lost World is NOT an official Review, is a User Review but featured that's all.

Yeah, I was a bit harsh but I don't think BOTW deserves a 7. The review is not the worst ever, but still, I think it's bad in a lot of ways.

Well, the damage is done, unless Staff decides to re-review it, I do not think anything will happen.. But hey it could had been worse considering that if GBAtemp's Reviews were truly for clickbait, they would had rated it worse and written the review waaaay worse. So at least the review is decent :)

ITT People bickering over review score, from conspiracy theorycrafting to validity to interpretation. Now I have really seen everything.

It's as if there is a definite checklist to determine how good a game is.

Lads.... I've been reading game reviews from magazines through to online since the NES days, yeah, I'm an old fart! :lol: (Hell I even freelanced a couple back in the SNES/Megadrive era myself, though I'm sure many peeps will take that with a pinch of salt!)

But while the OP's clickbait comment is pretty hilarious, he does have a fair point to make: I've read the review on here and it's... it's difficult to make a review so I'm trying to be nice to the reviewer here, but it's just not very good I'm afraid (and neither was his FFXV review). I'm not gonna list the problems as that's just sad, but for instance I saw the word 'shitty' on at least one occasion... That's not really acceptable for an official review. Also, the multitude of comments harping on about respecting peoples opinions.... again, it's a grey area, but expressing one's opinion (particularly in the way the reviewer has done) really should be reserved more for a user review (sorry Mr BOTW review guy!)

Thing is, the OP (and a couple I've noticed backing him up) do need to get their priorities in life sorted a little if this is troubling them so much, but as the review counts on metacritic, and isn't particularly well written, then the extra traffic the site will get from similar minded, easily offended peeps will probably go some way towards putting this site in a bad light.... if the admin & staff don't mind this, then no problems! But if they do, maybe something needs to be done - and that's not mine, not the OP, and not any other non staff members call...

Literally one word post plus an image, and almost 100 replies calling out for how "butthurt" I am.

Have you guys thought that, maybe, it's the other way around?
