Sometimes I just need a shot of conflict in my life and nothing stirs it up like going on reddit and mildly critiquing the lore or text of any game ever made.

      I like Zelda games but Breath of the Wild is not exactly what I want from a Zelda game (I want my dungeons back). I think Breath of the Wild could be argued to be a good game but I dont think It is a very good Zelda game. So 7/10 is a pretty decent score for it in my book. (Im aware that some people think BotW is the greatest game of all time)

      Then again im happy many people seem to enjoy it...just not my cup of tea.

          I've had friends argue things like that to me before. "Well a lot of people like it so shut up." A lot of people really don't understand that criticisms of media are not personal attacks against people who like that media. The media I like most is also the media I criticize the most, because it's the media that interests me enough to even care to discuss it. When I play something I don't like I'm just like "that kinda sucked" and move on.

          It's very hard for me to understand the mindset so many people are in where if they like something it's part of their personality and that must mean it's perfect and beyond criticism.

          I honestly dont expect real objectivity from critics. So I dont really care that much about the scores they give. I do read game reviews but those are mostly from small sites that specialize in the games I like (mostly strategy games of different types). I find it most useful to find critics/reviewers that have a somewhat similar taste to yours and focus on games that you care about. I dont really have a problem if someone who is into racing games doesnt give me an indepth review of an economy simulator.

      I played Breath of the Wild outside the cultural zeitgeist and it is very, to put it in modern parlance, mid. There were some fun mechanics and systems in place, but I'm so goddamn burnt out on open world everything. I beat it with all the shrines, but it wasn't an incredible experience.
