75 metacritic, 4.3 user.

4.3 user? the way things are going, it could be as low as 1.0

 

[Slixshot]

82 Metacritic.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

What? Link me please? Sounds ridiculous lol.

That thread got purged im almost certain. Then spun off in to its own thread.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I expect lots of 6/10s.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I think it's going to get a 78 MC.

 

[Mista]

Im going with a 8/10 as an average

 

[danowat]

The pen is mightier than the sword.........

I dunno, seemed kinda apt.........

 

[Seanspeed]

Why would they review it based on the developers vision?

According to this 'judge a game based on what it is, not what its not' mantra I hear repeated often enough, every game is a 10/10, perfect, best ever of its kind. "But this other game did this and that better" "Ah ah ah, this isn't *that* game is it? Stop judging it based on what other games have done and only judge based on what *it* is trying to do." "Well what is it trying to do then?" "Exactly what it does."

 

[WITHE1982]

I hope your not doubting BGG

He said "non reputable" not "totally awesome".

 

[SteveTR]

Metacritic score of 83. It's probably not going to be higher than that.

 

[Thoraxes]

Predictions time?

7 from Sonygone
9 from IGN
8.5 from GameSpot
8 from Giant Bomb if they give out scores

Metacritic: 79 after 50 reviews

I'd expect much lower from Giant Bomb if their recent "It's not worth $40 for the amount of gameplay you get" statements are anything to go by.

Even from preliminary hands-on impressions, the game should score poorly from them since they seem to pay attention to that facet more.

 

[Withnail]

Do review threads normally include every nonreputable random website's scores?

What is a reputable website in this context?

There are no qualifications to be a game reviewer. Why would some reviews count more than others?

 

[Zakalwe]

For those wondering when the embargo lifts:

So many fingers ready to click right now...

 

[Tsokolit]

I expect madness. Good or Bad.

 

[Spongebob]

This is going to be fun

 

[1st Course]

Why are The Order threads getting so many views and comments? Are people that interested in this game?

It's an exclusive. These always draws the most attention (see: Driveclub, Titanfall, Uncharted 3 etc review threads)

 

[Sanpei]

My guess is 84/100...

 

[Heigic]

Seems like an obvious 73-77

 

[Cloudy]

Just contributer. Totally irrelevant. It's like posting a review from a random blog.

He is one of their main reviewers though. The guy actually likes the game and gave it a 6.5. Yikes

I expect a 7.5 from IGN

Reputable means having a good reputation.

You can be a reviewer without any kind of reputation.

but is he on Metacritic

Quality of writing, dedication to facts, respecting standard journalistic conventions, having an easy to navigate website design.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I guess 76 MC score.

 

[funkypie]

why review embargos though? no faith in their product?

 

[Give War A Chance]

4.3 user? the way things are going, it could be as low as 1.0

 

[Floridian]

10 mins to go. Oh boy

 

[StoppedInTracks]

10 mins left.

Brace yourself for impact, Sony-gaf.

 

[goonergaz]

lol

 

[GHG]

There will be meltdowns.

Regardless of whether the scores are good or bad.

 

[EventHorizon]

Not how the developers like it, how well it does what developers intended, according to the reviewer. Eg, as a linear game, does it work, is it fun? Is the story good and is it aided by the cutscenes or do they just get in the way? Does the cinematic look and feel of the game help it's narrative? Etc.

As oppose to, this game isn't open world therfore it deserves to be docked, or, it's cinematic and cut scene heavy, which in itself, irrespective of anything else is an inherant negative. Etc.

So your review would have no relation to how much the public would enjoy it, but only rare a game based on how well it fulfilled the developer's vision. Who would that review be good for?

 

[Shozuki]

I don't really want to predict, but I am hoping the game is decent. I mean the Eurogamer Expo demo was pretty boring, but I really like the art style so I'm hoping for the best...

 

[Sendou]

why review embargos though? no faith in their product?

Hey that's the same reason there's no DLC.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

why review embargos though? no faith in their product?

Embargoes are fairly common. Post release embargoes are not

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Why are The Order threads getting so many views and comments? Are people that interested in the game? Or is it driven by "teh console warz"?

First big exclusive new IP for the PS4 so fanboy from everywhere are here to either wish for the game to have bad review or good, it's going to be a fun thread!

 

[Grief.exe]

The presentation alone should guarantee a minimum of 80 metascore.

Imagine if movie reviews were done similarly to game reviews.

Cameras were always rolling, everyone was well lit, and makeup applied. Nothing fell in front of the camera during filming.

10/10

 

[Wesker28]

10 minutes left!! Well.. I expect 62 Metacritic

 

[WITHE1982]

Deep impact?

 

[Ricky_R]

Deep impact?

Indeed.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Please be good.. At least a 7 or 7.5/10 game.

 

[SlugSh0t]

Damn, it's about to go down.

 

[thuway]

I feel like this is the end of a journey. Hold me.

 

[darkwing]

just imagine what RAD is feeling right now

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Main sticking points will be:

pacing
amount of content/replayability
how basic the combat is
story related issues

 

[oti]

Threads like this make me wonder whether there's an underground video game review score betting ring under the disguise of GAF... With high stakes and guys ending up dead... or something

 

[codhand]

Please be good.. At least a 7 or 7.5/10 game.

hahaha

that horse in the race

 

[NyMartin90]

Whatever it is I hope this game succeeds, I wish RaD the best. That way we can get a sequel and improve on this new ip series for the better.

 

[LoveCake]

I have had this on pre-order for ages, it is the last game i have on pre-order & will have other than Project CARS LE.

I am obviously hoping it to be good, i am expecting to see 8/10's - 80>90's on the scoreing scale.

 

[WITHE1982]

Indeed.

I recognized Téa Leoni's head.

 

[marcincz]

Please be good.. At least a 7 or 7.5/10 game.

Please be good, at least 8 or 8,5/10.

7 minutes and hell open it gates.
