Since when is 7/10 means the game is bad If a Zelda game isn't 10/10 then that person is a scumbag. Regardless of peoples differing opinion, I'm a huge Zelda fan but I can put up with different opinions (Mind I HATED Skyward Sword) Fanboys are always like that, They'd defend a nest of angry wasps if it had the logo of their favorite franchise on it

It's ridiculous. Like, Jim has really been wailing on Nintendo lately, so that didn't likely contribute to the idea he gave his honest opinion, but I believe him if he thinks that's a fair score. He rates shit low all the time I love and the majority disagree with him on. It's not like it's going to cost Nintendo sales or anything, they're being jerkoffs to throw a tantrum about it. (They being the DDOSer fanboys, not Jim)

Anything under an 8 has been seen as terrible for years in the game community and nobody's given a good reason why besides "Everyone else gave it a high score!" which isn't really a criticism as much as saying that you want everyone to fall in line with one another for reasons.
Like, hey, I don't believe Jim is saying that to be Video Games' Armond White or anything (mostly because Jim isn't going to compare Link's quest with the entitlement of millenials or something as attention seeking) and it's much better to have disagreements with stuff like this because it makes for better debates in what people like and want from their games.
It's better than just slapping a high number on it just to validate the views of people who love it or to cause fury from the people who hate it for no reason but just to grab attention.

Fanboys are always like that, They'd defend a nest of angry wasps if it had the logo of their favorite franchise on it Best example of this is DC fanboys post-BVS and Suicide Squad tying themselves in knots doing mental gymnastics trying to explain why those two movies are cinematic masterpieces.

Ugh, And those that disliked them are Marvel fanboys or on Marvel's Payroll. I'm a DC fanboy but those movies sucked

Since when is 7/10 means the game is bad Since various sites and magazines (looking at you Game Informer) called a 7 "average" and many, many video game fans take that to mean every site sees it that way.

7 seems low for it... but hey it's his opinion and everyone is allowed to have their own incorrect opinion And yeah anyone freaking out over this are idiots. also pretty sure most of the people voting for hang him are joking just due to how the poll was worded.

Since when is 7/10 means the game is bad You can blame the American education system for this one. Thanks to 70% scores in education being equated with a C, or "average" grade, the mentality carries over to review scores. So a 7 is seen as an average score, and this is a mentality that is never gonna change until they overhaul the grading system in education, where the seeds of the mentality are planted. And while I don't agree with many of Jim's complaints in his review(in fact many of his complaints are things I actually like), the reaction from the diehard fans because his review by itself knocked down the aggregate score of the game a whole 1 point taking out of its precious spot as one of the three highest rated games of all time on Metacritic is naff. Especially since the game even with his review is still #2 all time on GameRankings, only .03% behind Super Mario Galaxy for #1!

It's worth noting that the company I work for send out emails asking for customers to rate their experience dealing with us, and grades 1-7 are considered negative, 8 is neutral, and only 9-10 are positive, which to me is just insane.
