No.
Does it say "HERR DUHRR WORST ZELDA EVURRR O/10 2MUCHGREZZ"?
It doesn't.
It's not clickbait if the title is just "Zelda BOTW Review".
Writing a coherent text doesn't mean it has a good purpose. The guy just took some random stuff from those 0/10 metacritic users and made it look like valid criticism.
Thanks CharyA 7 is a "good" score. Just because someone didn't think this Zelda game was God's gift to the earth, does not constitute clickbait. Clickbait is what sites like Buzzfeed do, to lure people in with false intentions in order to get hits. "Zelda Is Horrible: Click To Read Why is clickbait", not "reasons why I didn't think Zelda was a 10/10".
It was an example, plus considering its BOTW, a 5/10 would had triggered a lot of ppl (like OP xD)*Implying an honest review with a score of 5/10 is clickbait
then in your case, this shouldn't be here.Writing a coherent text doesn't mean it has a good purpose. The guy just took some random stuff from those 0/10 metacritic users and made it look like valid criticism.
W-what?tbf i do think they aimed to score it low, the gbatemp logo is a bit like sonic in a whirlwind so they have to be edgy I guess,
While some of the review could have been better worded, there's plenty of evidence that the reviewer found that kept the game from being an 8+/10. There was no intent to score for the sake of being low, this was a staff member who went out of their way to review the game because they were passionate about writing about the content of the new Zelda game. We even discussed some of the more irksome qualities of the game in the staff section, so these opinions aren't unique to just one person. A perfectly objective review doesn't exist, but the goal is to be as objective as possible.I'm not saying they cant give it 7.0 and maybe they are right, but the excuses were a bit clutchy like someone reviewing their enemies cooking abilities....ohhh well you put too much pasta on my plate
Yes, because you obviously were in his mind, seeing the writing process.Writing a coherent text doesn't mean it has a good purpose. The guy just took some random stuff from those 0/10 metacritic users and made it look like valid criticism.
I think they use the American school grade system, which a lot of reviewers use as well. It doesn't make sense, but it's what a lot of people think of when it comes to scores.One deviating review shouldn't make anyone ask if the site should "keep doing clickbaits". It's just one review.
Now, what I think is far worse is how Opencritic interpret scores. Everything below 70 is "Weak". That's pretty damn narrow.
0-69 Weak (70 steps of weak)
70 - 74 Fair (5 steps of fair)
75 - 84 Strong (10 steps of strong)
85 - 100 Mighty (15 steps of mighty)
I don't really think a 1-5 scale gives enough room though. A full 0.0-10.0 system gives a lot more variety to the scores, and lets the writer give a better numerical value to the game.The 10 score system is useless imo. It should be 1-5. But the review is not clickbait.
Shit I forgot my clever quip to get likes from. Maybe next time

7.8 was far too good for that game.7.8 too much water
7.0 weapons break
Both are clickbait.
Literally triggered.A lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand what clickbait means. Clickbait is anything that makes you even mildly upset or uncomfortable.

its not exclusively that, its something designed to mislead or entice you to click on something that you otherwise wouldn't, be it a fake headline i.e "free money if you view my video*" *imaginary money bitches or scoring something really low or really high compared to everyone else to attract heated debate i.e "Zelda botw sucks" or "Barbie is the most amazing wiiu game ever, heres why......"A lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand what clickbait means.
