i read the review and agree that if too much of the stuff that put me off botw is in totk(which according to the review there is), then it's an appropriate rating.

I still dont understand how a person/group gets included in the metacritic score. Why dont we all review the game here and have ours scores go on metacritic?

Pissing off a company with their articles is more ethical than working along side the company. (Not that I often agree with Kotaku's opinions though)

Yeah there are certainly valid reasons to not care for BotW/TotK and its fair to publish that very valid opinion imo

They dared to put up an article about Switch emulation and Nintendo blacklisted them from getting press info/review copies/access to games/etc.

Not reading that because Kotaku, but if the 6/10 Zelda review is well thought out and provides actual reasoning for their score, then yeah it's good that it exists, because critique is entirely subjective anyway. Seems reasonable that it would therefore capture an entire spectrum of opinions.

If you think the game is a 10/10, what impact does somebody else thinking it's not have on your life? It's going to sell more copies than the bible and it's not like they're going to stop making Zelda games.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the initial review, if it represents the reviewer's true feelings; it's just that Kotaku making an article about it, like they were hoping for an outlier is funny, to me.

I don't even think they went that far into explaining how to emulate. IIRC it was just an article about emulation of the new Metroid game, and then linked to the emulator lol.
