Veggeta_MAX 11/13/19 4:50:28 PM #1:	https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess-review/1900-6161993/ The Night of 8.8 I'm sure you all are familiar with this event already but I'd like to shine a little light on this situation a little more. So the next major Zelda title was coming out and it's fucking hyped. I mean Wolf Link? A bigger fucking world compared to OoT? A more mature and darker version of the game? Fuck yeah this shit is what we asked for and it's fucking perfect and EVERYONE WILL LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT. That was until Gamespot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann gave Twlight Princess a score of 8.8. Needless to say there was an explosion of cry babies about the "low score" the game was given, there were so many fucking tears I could open a water park. Nintendrones were raging, they were having meltdowns and they were salty as fuck at the "low score". They demanded the score be changed to a perfect 10, they threatened Jeff. They wanted to destroy the world because of this. I have screenshots of the Twilight Board during the chaos but posting it would be against the ToS. --- I'm Veggeta X's alt <cite>Veggeta_MAX posted [p:930090929] in Since we'r...
