The Twilight Princess reaction was just embarrassing. People literally cried when they saw the trailer. As if they didn't get a console Zelda a year ago (and multiple handheld titles). One that was so much better than TP, at that. .

Twilight Princess gave us Agitha as a playable character for Hyrule Warriors and I will never forgive them for this.

The zelda cycle is a weird one. People hated Majora's Mask when it came out. Hail it as the best game now. Loved Twilight Princess when it came out. Hate it now. Hated Wind Waker, love it now. Though I don't think anything came between skyward sword that people loved for everyone to turn around on.

Skyward Sword seems to be more divisive in general. Who knows, maybe we'll come to a consensus when Zelda U comes out.

Some reviewer gave Twilight Princess the low, low score of 8.8 upon release. People immediately wanted blood.

Yeah, but on the other hand, we got Midna.

The 8.8 situation is child's play compared to a certain loving crazy forum.

if your reviews constantly differ from the rest of the community, then you are simple not fit for the job

I am consistently amazed by how badly these gamers seem to actively want a homogenized corporate hellscape where Call of Duty is president of the United Nations and critics exist only to tell them that Assassin's Creed 24 is just as good as last month's Assassin's Creed 23.

e: It's almost as if they don't understand how opinions work.

I loved Majora's Mask when it came out and I love that now everyone else loves it too. I was right all along! It DOES hold up better than Ocarina of time!

I don't think peoples opinions on Skyward Sword are likely to change with time. It has some good parts, some REALLY good parts even, but it also has some bad parts and lots of annoying design choices and needless repetition.

I feel it's something that has to do with gaming as a whole. The majority of gamers have very little in the way of critical thinking skills and get upset whenever something questions their idealized world where everything they like is flawless. Whether is be Anita Sarkeesian complaining about the sexism present in games (but generally only talking about the most obvious examples), to Roger Ebert claiming that games aren't art (which he later took back), to Jeff Gerstmann giving Twilight Princess an 8.8 (which he based on the system gamespot had been using since the 90s). This usually results in a storm of backlash that only simple-minded people with far too much time on their hands can create.

I remember that people were literally rejoicing when Roger Ebert died because of his video games aren't art comment.

Speaking of the 8.8 Gate or whatever retarded name you want to give it I'm pretty sure Jim Sterling still to this day gets poo poo for giving Mario Kart 7 a 7.5. The comments section on his article for that was both hilarious and pathetic.
