were the BOTW reviews paid?

[Grim Reaper]

my thoughts are yes and no. idk really. the game was good, VERY GOOD. but the game has its issues like framerates and voice acting. what do you think?

Pretty useless question. You can point at any review and ask the same thing. Answer is: "I dunno"

its just that pretty much every review is a 10/10. and most reviews said the same thing about the framerates. saying that the framerates are only in one area. but they were everywhere

No. People just love Zelda and Nintendo don't make many bad games. But loads of ppl are a bit more, "meh" now from what I have heard about the game.

yes but most reviews are paid so you have to look at customer reviews and not critic reviews

Not to mention critics think that everyone who plays video games grew up with a Nintendo watching Dragon ball z while eating pocky.

Jim Stirling's website got DDoSed because fans went on a rampage over him only giving Breath of the Wild a 7 out of 10

I found it to be a boring game...

I doubt it. It really is a fun game and has the good reviews well deserved.

I find BOTW to be good, but not great. 7/10, still need to finish it.

IDK if they were paid, but that's not the only incentive people have to give it a good review, even if they don't think so.

im trying to defend the fanboys. but jim lowered the score alot for something thats just his opinion, kind of. the weapon durability thing can be both a good thing and a bad thing so imo, the review wasnt that great

Because if you give the holy Nintendo games anything below 10 you will get a Jihad called on you.

I remember a few years ago, some poor reviewer got DEATH THREATS on himself and his family, just because he rated some Zelda game an 8. Even though that's a damn good rating to be proud of, it wasn't enough for the rabid fanboys.

probably a bunch of them were paid but the other part decided to follow along since it was the thing to do.

I'm playing through it right now but I find it to be okay, can't play it for more than 90 minutes without getting burnt out

thats true. but i played nothing but botw for 2 weeks so maybe? it wasnt paid.
