I never knew the 8.8 was Jeff. Now I respect him even more
I'm sorry if you can't roll around, dodge, drink super potions and use Skyward's Bow the right way like I can.Hey hey hey hey hey. Lets not say silly things.

I'll admit a device like the Gust Bellows or the Slingshot were less than inspired, but NEVER THE BOW. D:<
Now I know why LevityNYC hates Giantbomb. Twilight Princess is not a good game. Wind Waker and Zelda II are my two favorite Zeldas. Twilight Princess has some fucking awful design decisions and people going nuts over 8.8 are more insane than the rest of us insane gamers!
I think Twilight Princess is a solid 7/10 game. Boring as shit and easily the worst console Zelda game. But it looks great and has some cool things about it (NOT THE FUCKING WOLF)
But for whatever reason it kept me hooked for the entirety of the game. Maybe because I was expecting something to wow me, but nothing ever did.
You had to do a fucking song to change the boats direction in Wnd Waker, and then the game takes it to the extreme with the fetch quest. Nothing in TP comes close to being that tedious.
If someone from a major publication decides to do it again with an iconic Nintendo franchise, which happens to have an amazing outing with some flaws, sure.1. What the Hell was that all about? Zelda games have come and gone since, so have heavily anticipated games and launch titles, but nothing has exploded quite with the same rage and venom. Can this ever happen again?
Absolutely. He was being objective, even if I disagree with his comments.2. In retrospect, I generally agree with Jeff's review. The backlash looks all the more absurd. Anyone else feel like this?

A lot of people don't bother to read and just look at the score though.
I thought TP was mediocre and a step down from Wind Waker. But for a strange reason I liked Skyward Sword.
How can something that's "boring as shit" be a 7/10? Just because you kept playing in the hopes it would get better? :\
That seems like a messed up scale to me. If I described something as boring as shit, it wouldn't get over a 3. Skyward Sword was so boring/badly designed I didn't get over halfway through it, the first Zelda game I never completed, and I'd give that a 2 probably.
Let's also bring Uncharted 3 into the fold. That was a good time.
Because it's a decently designed game with great music, great graphics (for the time), and some cool things about it.
It doesn't feel right giving a game a 3/10 when it's as well made as Twilight Princess. I save 3 out of 10s for truly awful games that have no redeeming qualities.
I actually loved the boat. And I loved Zelda. And Zelda II is the best Zelda out there. It's not even close.
I've always found Gertsman not a good reviewer to be honest, but TP being ported to the wii was a terrible decision anyway, I would have preferred development time being used in roughing the corners of the game instead of tacking on atrocious, actually "waggle", controls.
