Never heard of this Jim guy. His review is full of the cliched shit-shitty-whip-my-dick-out-shitty dialogue that seems to be the norm for video game reviewers these days. Thanks, Angry Video Game Nerd... You didn't create that mentality, and maybe you only mock it, but now we live in a world of ASS-SHIT-ASS!
Anyway, simple truth time: I don't have time to put up with games that might be OK if time is sunk into them. There is just too much else in this life I'd rather spend time doing than getting upset at a fox in an airwing on the television because he's not doing what I want him to do. I mean, that isn't a good use of a Saturday.
So, as I get older, I'm more than willing to toss experiences I may have sunk more time into as a kid and really enjoyed, because... I would rather just go out and do other things, or watch one of the movies on my huge backlog, or just do something that doesn't stress me out. There are countless numbers of killer titles I could pick up right now and play that I haven't sunk any time in. I'm not going to use the few hours of gaming I can spare on anything mediocre.
That's basically it. Star Fox Zero isn't horrible, it's just mediocre, and that's not good enough for me.
