Incredible, yes.
Deserving of being in an exclusive club with OoT and BotW?
Highly debatable.
I think the word you're looking for is divisive. Probably one of the most divisive games in recent memory.

That same Nintendo bias that led to an Edge 6 for Metroid and a 5 for StarFox 2?
I distinctly remember the moment after 10h or so putting the controller down and wondering whether I was having fun or not. I never played that game ever again.You really had to be there for GTA IV. It was the biggest launch of any game to that point. It just hasn't aged well.
Maybe we'll get Mario 3D Land 2 on 3DS or something. Would love that.![]()
SM3DW is the best 3D Mario game ever made and we're never going to get another one like it.
I'm not actually that salty.
lol... So the "Nintendo bias" is a true fact? The salt is intense here.
So... The "Nintendo bias" only applies to some specific franchises?... Especially the ones that receive a lot of 10s from the press around the world and the general public...Ok.... lololol. Can't wait to see you again when Prime 4 reviews comes out.Metroid and Mario are two very different franchises in terms of their popularity and even their nostalgia factor, and I say that as a HUGE Metroid fan.
But hey, if you honestly believe that EDITORIALS - based mostly on subjective opinion - can't be influenced by personal bias, especially in regards to beloved franchises, then nothing I write will convince you otherwise.
As for me, I'm looking forward to Odyssey, regardless of how many 10's it garners.
SavageThat same Nintendo bias that led to an Edge 6 for Metroid and a 5 for StarFox 2?
Nintendo is back dudes.
Samus Returns was also reviewed in this issue and got a 6.
So yeah, sympathetic to Nintendo my ass.
I don't want to read too much into it, but I def like the sound of that."Peach, for her part, is no helpless damsel either."
Btw. there is a bigger photo of the EDGE article (not sure if I am allowed to post it) and there they state:
"Peach, for her part, is no helpless damsel either."
Sounds interesting.
They also praise Bowser for his competence this time.![]()
No. As in the concept of Nintendo bias. As in something which may or may not be true, but people believe.lol... So the "Nintendo bias" is a true fact? The salt is intense here.
I'm not expecting something grand like playable Peach, but it does give me hope that the plot actually varies a bit.Btw. there is a bigger photo of the EDGE article (not sure if I am allowed to post it) and there they state:

Again, I never actually claimed that this review - or any specific review - was biased.

Well, BOTW is my current game of the year and I think it's deserving of those high scores but I also think Zelda is a franchise that enjoys a certain presumption of quality before people ever play a minute of the game. (And I'm one of those people.)
And again. I own a Switch, I'm excited as hell about Odyssey, so the fact that you are being this adversarial over an innocuous comment that applies to plenty of franchises beyond Nintendo is a bit odd.
It's baffling how a game getting a 10 upset some people
BOTW was doomed until it passed GTAIV with most 10s in MC.... You can have and idea.It's baffling how a game getting a 10 upset some people
Oh, that was a general post, not aimed at you! I was away so the last page Ive read in the thread was page 8.
After 3D World avoided the Peach is kidnapped! plot and made her an active player character, Im going to be extremely disappointed if they dont throw some kind of twist into this games plot to justify the forced wedding nonsense.I'm not expecting something grand like playable Peach, but it does give me hope that the plot actually varies a bit.
"haw haw but its mario" Yes I know, but I would still appreciate it.
Those ones dont count!I love video games! I post on an enthusiast gaming forum because of how much I love video games!
:video game gets a 10/10:
now I'm sad and angry
they sympathize with poplar and loved franchises of nintendo, the games you listed are ignored by most nintendo fans
BOTW is one of the greatest games i have ever played and possibly in my top 5 of all time, it got a score of 97 in MC while The witcher 3 got 92 ? wtf ? Witcher 3 is obviously the better game, not just in my opinion, but in general, Witcher 3 is the best game released in the last decade, most people agree to that, so why did it get 92 while BOTW got 97 ??
smash 4 got 92MC, the same score as The witcher 3 and Bloodborne and there is barely any difference from Brawl, mario kart 8 got 88MC even though it's the same thing as MK7 but with better graphics, 3D World got 93 and it's not even 3D, all those games don't deserve those reviews, i bet if sunset overdrive was a Nintendo exclusive it would have gotten a 90MC
Nintendo games get high scores with simple effort (except for Zelda)

I thaught it looked beautiful in 3D.A 6/10 for Samus Returns sounds about right. It's incredibly ugly, and the game's structure is pretty dull. Samus controls really well though.
wait for the review thread. shit's about to go down there.It's baffling how a game getting a 10 upset some people

Playable Peach and Bowser confirmed? Play through the game with each character, get 300 moons each playthrough, 900 moons total.
Nah that actually sounds kinda lame
Doesn't that presumption of quality tend to hold those games to higher standards rather than skew reviews upwards (which I know you're not necessarily claiming is happening)? I just don't see the logic in that area. If anything, a game in a franchise as beloved as Zelda or Mario will be derided like Skyward Sword or Mario 3D World was when it doesn't deliver exactly what the fans expect. Reviewers seem to be good at reviewing these games outside of those expectations and franchise baggage, so I don't think this effect really happens.
To be fair, looking at that list...its difficult to question the quality of a 10 game.
Except Skyward Sword. HA.

I mean, that is what's happening in this thread, isn't it? It may not be EDGE's intent, but the leak has caused this byproduct.You're a bit nervous because some motherfucker got a magazine earlier than usual and you think EDGE is purposefully doing that to show the world yes Mario did get a 10 pls read from us, the first perfect review?
Time to calm down mate.
I disagree. Its got its problems in retrospect, but for the time it was released the scope of the game was massive, and the story really good. That vision of liberty city is still the tops. Go back and play it!gta iv being a 10 is still an insult to basic human decency.
I think it can actually work both ways.
Also, not everyone will allow that bias to color their review but I do think these biases affect reviews more than some people think.
I know they affect me.
I expect a week or 10 days before the game launch. So maybe around the next friday.Sorry, but when is the review embargo up for everyone else?
http://nintendoeverything.com/super...-review-in-edge-awarded-with-a-perfect-score/
So that's two 10/10 games on a console that is less than 9m old, according to Edge.
Edit: This is the 20th game they have awarded a perfect score.
You should go back and read what I initially posted.
It was actually complimentary because franchises like Mario that probably enjoy a bit of bias have most certainly earned it.
In 5 years not in 7 months....to be fair wiiu also had two 10 games and that didnt help
