Inb4 this actually happens

Screencap me in your thread too OP.

Except HZD is already confirmed paid reviews, if you had been here anytime this past 7 days

Everyone on Sup Forums was shitting on this game even before the metacritics came out though. Are you an autistic nintoddler?

Source? Not doubting you, but I would like a source.

>Watched a good portion of the stream
>game was your typical open world flare, dumb/bugged npcs, bad mechanics, glitchy environments
>game play was as you'd expect as well, uninventive, barebones crafting and skills, laughable stealth, and boring as fuck combat

Easily a 6 or 7 out of 10, might be worth a pick up on sale if they patch some of the issues.

It's almost like that always fucking happens and everyone is literally screaming that HZD reviews are paid reviews.

literally the only people praising horizon are baiting or shilling, especially after the streams revealed how shit it actually is
you people need to get better and recognising shills and bait, you're shit at it

Reviews are just opinions
If you realize they don't matter, then it doesn't matter if they were bribed or not
Why is it so damn important to you faggots? No matter how badly you want it, it won't make your opinion objective. Most of you don't even form opinions about games you've actually played for fuck's sake.

>hzd paid reviews come out this week
>88
>consumers start posting reviews next week
>80

Also, 88 is not impressive.

Except the opposite is going to happen people are calling horizon paid and going to use zeldas scores as proof of how good it is.

why that even matters?
no matter how shitty a zelda game will always be perfect for nintendrones and gamur gurls

6 or 7 is generous there's no reason to play the game if you've played any other modern open world game. it does nothing new except the robot dinosaurs gimmick that they barely explore in the actual game, yet extrapolate in the promotional material. and when you actually do get to fight the big robo dinos it's held back by the poor combat.

Thank god you are a shill. You almost got me there.

Dont you ever attempt to speak for this board again. Now fuck off.

Source: my ass

Pretty much. It's mediocre, but might be worth considering if you ever get through your backlog.

>Also, 88 is not impressive.

Maybe if you are an autistic fuck that wont settle for anything under 100000000000/100

People are already calling Horizon's score paid so you are already out.

Exactly what I was thinking.

>showing your underage
Google 8.8 and educate yourself.

Hmmmm, now why would people here think Nintendo review scores don't actually reflect the games? If only we had some evidence of stuff like this happening in the past...

>trusting professional reviewers with big name games like Zelda
reviewers are scared to give almost anything less than a 6/10, zelda will get high scores no matter what because it's zelda.
i'm not even saying it will be bad, but they aren't going to trash it unless it's almost inconceivably bad.

It's pretty hilarious that the lauded "Zelda Killer" is 5 points below the worst reviewed 3D Zelda, Skyward Sword.

Want to get some (you)s? Post Mario 3D World score. That set off some pissed Sonyggers in another thread.

Of course this will happen. This happens to anything around here because console wars are culture apparently.

On behalf of this board, go fuck yourself.

Here's what's actually happening
>Sup Forums: Why would you watch a video game being streamed, it's not the same thing as playing it

>Now: WOW I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING AND IT WAS SHIT

>people only believe what they want to believe
it's been like that since forever. it's not even unique to Sup Forums, that's just how the human mind works

skyward sword got a 10

nintendo absolutely pays off journalists

What, Skyward Sword wasn't any good?

Every time until you understand.

It wasn't a 10, that's for sure.

It was barely a 6

>"I trust the word of people who get their pockets lined by developers instead of witnessing the game myself in some form."

Here

>Nintendo paying off journalists

In one shitpost thread the narrative is Nintendo is on the verge of bankruptcy and are going third party. In another shitpost thread it's Nintendo are paying off journalists for high scores. Fucking Sup Forums yes Sup Forums is one person you fag

Please understand.

Except Sup Forums is shitting all over Horizon for good reason. Turned out to be fucking trash.

Zelda looks like trash too though.

>that description
>6 or 7 out of 10

Jesus dude, it sounds like a fucking 3 or a 4.

6 or 7 still means a decently enjoyable game but there are a few flaws here and there. In fact usually 6's and 7's are in reality just really niche games that are actually excellently made with a specific fanbase in mind and it's tailored to them. But your average pleb just wouldn't be interested so they give it a lower score because "it doesn't have X standard mechanic working well" when niche fanbase doesn't give a shit about that mechanic/lack of story/whatever they play it for another reason.

False
Sup Forums will claim how 8/10 is a bad score

>'Zelda killer'
>on a completely different platform
HZD isn't remotely similar to Zelda. I'm not saying shit about the quality of either game, but this has to stop.

>laughable stealth
This was the part to me that was really fucking egregious.
The game has legit some of the worst stealth I've ever seen.
Like fucking hell man, even Ass Creed games have better stealth.

No, it's NOT going to happen because BotW is a 7/10 AT BEST. Fuck off with your console war shit.

Zelda will get a 90+, but it doesn't mean its a 90+ game

It rides a LOT on brand.

it could be the shittiest game around, and it would still get a passable score because its zelda

They will never trash Zelda or give a bad score to a zelda game, reviews for zelda games are absolutely arbitrary and meaningless.

Why? Because you don't want to be the guy who gave a bad score to the holy Zelda, you don't want to be the guy to say that OoT was a fun yet not a 98 score game.

just screencapping this for when the embargo for BOTW lifts

>Sup Forums actually shilling some SJW bullshit while going out of their way to shit on Nip games

Did we change timelines again?

If you actually bothered to read the thread you would see that people are just pointing out that screencapping something like

>Zelda will get high reviews, save this!

Is absolutely retarded because its taboo to give Zelda a bad score

Zelda will get shit on by most review sites because Zelda is shown as a weak, crying, defenseless womyn that needs a strong man to fix her life

Honestly shit like those AssCreed-esque towers and boring puzzle dungeons make me think that it would be underwhelming even for a Zelda game
I do wonder if people would have the balls to call the game out if it does end up being mediocre

Are you implying that Sony reviews reflect the games?

...

When the fuck did he mention Sony?

Speaking for the whole board when I say this: kys

Surely the person who made this didn't do it for free

Can we get a picture of that source for clarity reasons?

The OP is about Nintendo vs Sony you fucking retard.

So you're telling me a game series as popular as zelda is going to do well in reviews?
I remember autistic screeching when skyward sword (aka garbage) got a fucking 92
Also
>caring about reviews

This game should be getting 7/10 at best. Just look at this fucking webm

They're both open world action rpgs. May as well go play skyrim.

Read the OP.

shouldn't nintendo fans be a bit less cocky after wii u? or are they gonna continue to hide behind the 3ds when switch is another failure

hard to not be cocky when you're being put up against horizon

But any game that's obviously not good but comes from AAA companies all have mysteriously high metacritic scores
Like never less than 85

Can someone please explain the obsession with review scores for a game? I just don't get it.

I mean, why wouldn't you either watch a gameplay video and form your own half-assed opinion or play the game and know completely how good/bad the game is?

Nobody is even putting horizon on a pedestal besides shitposters
This is literally just Nintendrones shitting on Nintendrones who are pretending to like some shitty game and citing reviews as fuel

Nah, everyone knew this game would get 9s and 10s across the board.
The gaming media is as predictable and as transparent as the mainstream media.

You need to stop. What do you even want?
If you truly loved vidya you would be happy for sony and nintendo fans, especially if both games turn out to be good. But every time a game releases is endless shitposting.

If HZD is shit, well don't buy it then.

Fuck you all, fuck you, you are part of the reason the industry is declining.

>you are part of the reason the industry is declining.
Nah, the people buying derivative generic Ubisoft open world clones are the reason the industry is declining.

I'm laughing more that Sony fags are shoehorning as much shit as possible into their defenses against a console that's not even out yet. Really shows how secure they are of the precious cinematic playbox.

It says don't buy it if it's shit. Nobody is defending it. Same goes to botw. Why do you even argue?
It's not even in the same stupid system, why do they care?

No one really cares about reviews. They're either bashing it be it was paid for, or their only source for saying the game is good. But this is Sup Forums and if you're surprised by how low people will go to bait each other, then you shouldn't be here.

>Nintoddlers damage controlling in advance for Nintendo's paid reviews
Everyone on Sup Forums apart from literal unpaid marketers were laughing their asses off at HZD for being such a blatant example of paid reviews for a shit game.

this

nah, 5 out of 10 at most
