I agree. It makes this even worse.

69 mighty (lowest is 5 points from strong)
0 strong
1 fair (1 point from weak)

It really doesn't. Sure it's 1 point from weak because it got a 7/10. if it got an 8/10 it would've been 5 points from Mighty. So what?

Consider if they had 14 steps for each rank, more evenly spaced out:
100 = Perfect (41 reviews)
99 - 85 = mighty (22 reviews)
84 - 70 = strong (1 review, gbatemp)
69 - 55 = fair
54 - 40 = weak
39 - 25 = bad
24 - 10 = awful
10 - 00 = broken

See, now the gbatemp review says the game still is a strong one.

Now, I love the game. I don't agree with the 7/10 score, but it is not my review! Honestly, I don't agree with those 41 Perfect 10 scores either. The game HAS slowdowns, I've not noticed a lot of them, but when they do happen it's only for a short while. The weapon breaking is not balanced enough. If a rusty sword or a twig breaks from a couple of blows, sure... but when I can kill 1½ regular enemy with a shining soldier's sword? That's a bit too weak.
It doesn't take away any of the fun I have with it though, so for me it's really a 9.5. I probably have some nostalgia glasses and a fanboy hat on at the same time too.

At the end of the day: 7/10 is not a bad score.

A lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand what clickbait means. Clickbait is anything that makes you even mildly upset or uncomfortable.

Definitely NOT what clickbait is.. lmfao

 

[dimmidice]

The meaning of clickbait should be obvious if you just look at the two words in it. "Bait" and "Click". Has nothing to do with making one upset. Guy's trolling his ass off.

*facepalm*

It means when you try to make someone click on your link by baiting them with a title/thumbnail that isn't part of the content. Such as if I said "HOW TO GET A FREE HOUSE!" but the article was talking about cheap homes.

its not exclusively that, its something designed to mislead or entice you to click on something that you otherwise wouldn't, be it a fake headline i.e "free money if you view my video*" *imaginary money bitches or scoring something really low or really high compared to everyone else to attract heated debate i.e "Zelda botw sucks" or "Barbie is the most amazing wiiu game ever, heres why......"

Don't worry I'm only pretending to be retarded. Haha, isn't that funny. Woooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeee I sure do love irony. By detatching myself from serious engagement in any situation that makes me the calmer and therefore smartest in any argument.
(This is double/triple/Poe's Law irony btw)

Is this guy really salty because his god gift game didn't get a 9 or 10 from gbatemp? OH COME ON, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

Oh no! Poes law strikes again!

 

[Kioku]

Oh no! Poes law strikes again!

You're so mean sometimes, Chary.

Back in my day we just called it trolling. Dammit.

I thought this thread was gonna be about the crap titles people have been giving their forum topics, not the BotW review. All the same, people are now gonna know this site as the GameSpot of the BotW era.

I can see it.

 

[gamesquest1]

that's it botw needs to loose points for not having poe's 3/10 ffs ninty (cant believe I almost missed that one)

 

[The Catboy]

So this entire thread is just a salty child pissed that we aren't going BOTW a 10/10?

[WiiUBricker]

Everybody knows you can get rich as hell here at GBAtemp™ Ltd. if your threads have the most clicks

 

[CeeDee]

I will admit, I don't think BOTW deserves only a 7 out of 10. ESPECIALLY when most other games were rated with 8s or higher.

I mean, seriously. Does the Virtual Boy deserve a better score than BOTW?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Can my next review be click bait? Mario kart 8 deluxe, 0/10 cause is a cheap cash in on a port which brought exclusive content that should have been in the original game.

On a serious side, maybe i will do all my reviews with a perfect 0 score. If people care about score so much instead of ACTUAL CONTEXT THAT HOLDS THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

"Why does all his reviews have 0 score? He clearly seem to like this game a lot, based on the description he gave so conflicting." Is that clickbait you want?

Oh please, it's from a guy named Tom BombaDILDO. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
