EAD didn't due Xenoblade X. I am referring to their internal EAD developers.
I find it funny when people compare scores for games that are totally different from each other, not to mention different reviewers.
This Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild review score makes it the 2nd highest rated game from GamePro with the #1 title being Grand Theft Auto IV.
When is the review embargo again for BotW?
There's a reason gamepro is often reffered to as hypepro in germany
God Of War 2, Red Dead Redemption, Batman: Akrham City got 95% each
Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, Uncharted 3, killzone 3 94%
etc
Yeah it was obvious it was going to be great in the last few months. There was A LOT of doubt Nintendo would be be able to fully pull off the open world experience up until the reviews for BotW started hitting.

Also, I refuse to accept this 100 scale GamePro ratings scale. It's this or nothing:
I'm looking forward to the good-but-not-great score someone will eventually get that puts GAF in a tizzy. That's always fun.
Otherwise, every glowing review puts a jealous flush in my heart since I can't get it on launch. :'(
Kind of pointless after the fact. Doesn't change a single thing. Everyone and their momma said it was ubi tier open world game, and it wasn't a compliment. The time changed once reviews came out.perhaps but it became very clear when the previews started rolling in that it was going to be a good game
This. I doubted Horizons because of GG. They're the one with the extremely spotty background. Nintendo is one of the best game developers in existence. It can be argued they're the best. I had no doubt they'd deliver the goods. It was just a matter of how far they were willing to go and it seems they went pretty damn far to the point where they're likely reshaping expectations for the genre going forward .......again.lol you're kidding right? Horizon proved everyone wrong. One of the most doubted games in recent memory, because it was a GG game.
Some of you live in la la land.

GTA 5 got 97/100, a number of other games also got more than 94/100. It's the 2nd highest review score for a Zelda game maybe.

Nice avatar collection. I do like the fair one best.Lmao at 2.5
Monolith is helping develop Zelda so that's kinda mootEAD didn't due Xenoblade X. I am referring to their internal EAD developers.
How do we know this article is real? Their website doesn't have a score of Zelda, and the guy who wrote the article posted false information about previous scores the website has given...
Is there a BOTW review thread?

Never played GTA IV or V. BOTW has one thing stands out for me, 'Freedom'. How is this game in that aspect compares with the GTA games?

all of the previews so far seem unanimous in that Zelda offers the player an unprecedented amount of freedom for an open world game
I honestly could have never imagined the consensus would be this would end up being the consensus best open world game of all time above the likes of Skyrim, Horizon, GTA V, etc just a month back but thats where things seem to be heading. Insane. Pretty remarkable for Nintendo's first true open world game ever. Still kind of in shock.

Their highest score went to GTAIV? *cough* lol. OK. Still impressive but keeping expectations in check.
umm GTA4 got reviewed very high from every outlet its one of the highest reviewed games of all time on metacritic, why do people keep discounting scores from games that later on people decided wasnt as good
Honest question, has there ever been an open world-style 3D game where you can climb literally any surface?
I'm wondering if that's actually one thing that is brand new for this Zelda.
all of the previews so far seem unanimous in that Zelda offers the player an unprecedented amount of freedom for an open world game
On PC, GTA
On Console, probably Zelda
The person I quoted claimed this was Nintendos first open world game since Xenoblade X didn't count. But that doesn't make any sense since the developers behind XCX are helping with development of ZeldaWhat is moot? Zelda always has a few CG design assistants from other companies, and so does Xenoblade actually.
Same outlet, I'm guessing probably not the same reviewer? Anyways I don't see much point in directly comparing review scores like "oh it scored x points higher than y game therefore..." especially when the difference is so tiny.
Still the good scores are exciting of course!
Yeah exactly. I mean it is overrated I agree with that. But everyone gave it their highest score. Did people mention it when they talked about the Edge review? They gave GTA4 also a 10.
I probably asked the question in a wrong way. What I meant a lot of you obviously played GTA games. So based on the previews, Zelda surely has the freedom do stuff you'd normally do in real life, multiple ways to solve things. What you guys think how much of that freedom GTA offers compare to Zelda.
Edit : no intention to derail the thread, just want to know
Is edge's score out? I'm on media blackout. They gave the game a 10?
I can't think of one. going back to E3 last year no one seemed to be able to name a single game that offers the level of interactivity and player engagement that BotW does, and that was based off of a small demo of a small section of the game.
Not to be that guy, but are we going to get a new thread every time a review trickles in this week?
Don't we have another thread for that?
On topic: Fantastic score. I'm way too excited for this game.
I read on Reddit that they changed how they review games or something, and thus those scores were lowered.Twilight Princess got 95/100:

(^^^Not the post I was referring to though)This was before they changed up their review pattern. Before they were mainly reviewing for technical aspects resulting in weird ratings for some games. After the change they now also take atmosphere and setting as well as some other points into consideration. Since then their highest score is indeed a 95/100.
Yeah 10 from EDGE. Same as Skyward Sword.

Well yeah I'd agree easily that no 3D game has this type of interactivity and interplay between various systems, but people kept asking for one specific thing that Zelda does that is new, and sorta downplaying the whole "combination of things" aspect which I think is the real reason it shines.
But "new" wise I'm pretty sure the climbing any surface would fit. Kinda off topic though.
