>>713163252
The whole concept of tears of the kingdom is turning the most boring parts of breath of the wild into the entire game. Terrible video game

I hope we will get a chance to eliminate the weak and stupid people in the aftermath of WW3 and then enforce an eugenics program hindering their ability to breed. Stupid and weak people breeding in masses caused tremendous damage to the western society.

Better game won, buddy. Too bad so sad.

Maelle's game will get a boost when the release the Switch 2 version.

Why does it have 8 reviews made by nintardos and the score that matters (players) is 10 points lower?

>>713163068 (OP)
Lmao

Totk sucked ass but id rather it be on top than that utter cringe turbo normieslop clair obscure

Oh noes tendies!!!

Imagine to be proud of your obsession with games for 7y old girls... Tendies are the worst.

>>713166907
Imagine going through life considering a fucking video game company to be your arch nemesis.

>>713165104
Tendies can breed with each other since they are equally as repulsive which is why they may attract each other.

>>713163068 (OP)
Metacritic scores only matter when the game I like is on top.

>>713165104
Oooft.

>>713165826
Nice bribe

>>713165826
Isnt it interesting how Nintardo games always sell 70 trillion copies but you know no one that plays them and the company is in permanent quasi bankruptcy?

>>713163068 (OP)
Zelda games will get inflated scores by their degenerate fan base. I doubt it's that good.

>>713167686

Maybe you need to get off 4chan schizo, you clearly live in a warped fantasy world.

>>713165826
Man you could tell the guy on the right was seething when totk didn’t win goty during the vga

the switch 2 versions actually look a lot better and are comfy to play, the games were great for one playthough but the second run is kinda boring regardless

>>713163252
Worse, yes. Way worse? No. They're about equal overall, with TotK's failing being the linearity and forced opening on rails walk and talk cutscene.

This just means TotK has no replay value.

>>713167792
>Zelda games will get inflated scores by their degenerate fan base. I doubt it's that good.

Seek help

>>713167901
>This just means TotK has no replay value.

So why is everyone replaying it on Switch 2?

>>713167979
Because the switch 2 has no games and they need to justify their purchase

>>713167901
>TotK's failing being the linearity and forced opening on rails walk and talk cutscene.

You mean the pre title screen opening to the game? Is that what you mean?

>>713167907
Final fantasy is awful these days, so his input as a game developer is worth absolutely nothing.

>>713168035
>they need to justify their purchase

By playing the most acclaimed game of the year on metacritic? Until next month, when the next Switch 2 exclusive becomes the new most acclaimed game of the year on Metacritic?

>>713163068 (OP)
Because that’s a first party Nintendo title on a new console too. The reviewers are incentivized to give it high scores, otherwise they don’t get early free review copies of any upcoming Nintendo IPs on the Switch 2. It’s not the free part that matters but it’s having early copies that matters. It allows them to make reviews as well as guides weeks in advance, then schedule them for when the game comes out or whenever the embargo is up whichever is earlier. If they don’t get their review copy then they have to make content after the game releases but by them everyone will have already looked up reviews and guides and they will have lost most of their potential revenue. The only exception to this is if the game or console is really bad then they’re allowed to give bad reviews which is still 7/10. Nowadays most influencers and reviewers are kiss asses to Nintnedo and Sony because they’re desperate to receive early copies. If you don’t do enough early reviews too then Metacritic might kick you out and implicitly Metacritic wants higher scores so the publishers don’t complain. I don’t blame them but it’s a problem with the whole system. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a 100 metacritic game on a first party game on a new console.

Nintendo elevation is real.

>>713168085
>his input as a game developer is worth absolutely nothing.

Holds more water than the input of a schizo socially rejected virgin on a hentai pedo board who hasn't even played the game.

SM64 and OOT was the only times it could have happened, perfect games still didn't all get 10/10s, critics were harsh back then. BOTW was also a perfect but got nowhere near 99, let alone 100. A single clickbait review would bring it down too which wasn't as big of a problem back in the day but that shit is worse than ever.

>>713164415
I've barely played expedition 33 and it's already better

>>713167901

>>713168150
Are you saying that all those western games being critically acclaimed are suddenly good?

>>713168732
Tbf when does the former happen... Actually when does the later happen too now that I think about it

>>713163068 (OP)
Because they randomly decide to re-review the same game just cause it got a different console upgrade.

Lots of PS4 games got a PS5 upgrade, and im not talking about re-releases like TLOU, but simple updated that did either the same or sometimes even more than what this TOTK SW2 upgrade does, yet NONE of those got a new review and score.

So why does this keep happening? Cause they arbitrarily decide to re-enter the same fucking game into new competition without the game actually qualifying for it.

>>713163068 (OP)
Bravo, Nintendo! You finally made one game that is better than Clair Obscur. Took you 50 years of making games, but here we are. Hope to see your next masterpiece in another 50 years.

>>713168610
Cope.

Games like E33? Why yes it's good. Next question.

>>713163068 (OP)
Metacritic has like 20 Nintendo biased blogs
Hell I remember one Nintendo blog reviewing fata Morgana because it got a higher score than Zelda kek

It's too childish for me.

>>713168924
LMAO

>>713168892
At least that's a new game even though it could be more open world shit, but I'll give it a chance

>>713168150
Nintendo fans are literally losing their minds over 60fps in 2025 for graphically decent games. Them getting a 95 is equivalent to an 85 on other consoles/pc

>>713163068 (OP)
Western devs need to learn their place.

>Tears worse than BotW.
I don't understand this opinion, Tears improved on all the shit that made BotW bad. Weapon durability mitigated, more interesting weapons with fusing, more enemy variety, travel easier and funner, core mechanics/abilities way more interesting and flexible. I could never go back to BotW.

>>713169530
With Nintendo money, sure

>>713163068 (OP)
I could live with BoTW and ToTK deviating from my design preferences if they hadn't also completely nuked the internet's ability to discuss Zelda without going feral.

Objectively, these are competently designed games and provide a smooth experience. Subjectively, I think games that have been widely panned for being slop manage to provide a better open-world experience than BoTW / ToTK. I would genuinely rather play Fallout 4 than nuZelda.

>>713169572
Less is more sometimes. The emptiness of botw just felt better

Tendies do this shit for free too lmao

>French Peasants
>Making a better game than the pros at Nintendo

Lmao even

>>713169572
simple
tears did what BotW already did but slightly better and that's not enough.
in a vacuum TotK is better but after 200 hrs of BotW,.TotK was hugely disappointing

even pokemon games are better than zelda, there I said it since everyone is scared to say it
B2/W2 - Emerald - HeartGold is better than any zelda game

Actually I boughted a switch 2 :3

>>713163068 (OP)
Why qre tendies so insecure? Everything needs to be about Nintendo for them.

>>713168909
It is, sorry anon.

>>713169891
Fair enough, I can't disagree with that. I dropped BotW not long after completing the main story so I probably put no more than 50 hours into it. I enjoyed TotK enough to 100% it (excluding korok shit) but the ol' faithful hoverbike made it easy

>>713171556
>the ol' faithful hoverbike made it easy
I'm not throwing shit at you for doing it, but the copy-pasted hoverbike design that seemingly everyone used is actually one of the reasons I think the systems in ToTK suck. I had fun screwing around with random flying machines, including blindly flying a wooden beam into the storm clouds (and accidentally landing on the "correct" island to start the quest). However, everyone knows that isn't efficient (or easy to control). ToTK's systems are better for generating social media clicks than they are for providing fun utility.

Really feels like the average ToTK enjoyer just zipped around on popular builds instead of engaging with the systems in a meaningful way, and I think that has a lot to do with how annoying the system is to work with. Doesn't help that the world is big (and mostly empty), making people feel like they *need* to get around quickly.

>>713169891
I don't agree, it trivialized what i liked about botw and made the entire world pointless for the sake of some vehicle building tech demo no one asked for in a zelda game. Also weapons tend to look like ass because they must be fused
