Title: GOW: bet on the metacritic
Post by: Legend on Apr 06, 2018, 09:48 PM
Come one come all and make your metacritic predictions. Please read the OP before just guessing!

This time around you need to give 3 numbers: a high prediction, a low prediction, and a middle prediction. The middle prediction is the one you think is most likely while the other 2 are just to make it more interesting. They are basically just to show how confident you are in your middle prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

Man I want to be optimistic. Its looking and sounding so incredible, but since its so long it could end up being dragged down by quite a few things that we won't know about yet. Well, fudge it.

High: 96
Middle: 94
Low: 91

I hope I'm right :D

That's quite a risky high end number you're going for! It could easily fly past that!

I would have gone a fair bit lower if it wasn't for the early embargo. That shows Sony at least expects it 90+.

I'm guessing you forgot this is an industry built on hype and pre release impressions are almost always super positive.

The Order, Halo 5, Gears 4, etc. Big games generate hype from their fans.

Nah, normal people have got their hands on it now and its still super positive :D

Also you can judge based on what people are saying. The press had pretty much nothing negative to say, while they always voice concerns for games like The Order.

Updated the OP. So far everyone has their main predictions within the same range.

The hype extends to normal people too. Getting a game early affects their impressions and often times people with negative impressions are ignored. Again it sounds like the game will be great and it should definitely score high but impressions alone only give you a very rough idea of how the game will review imo.

That's why we're saying low 90's instead of 100

Yall put me in a hard spot! I want the game to be great and get great scores but on the other hand if it only gets good scores then you'd understand why I'm more cautious :P

You're right though, it is hard to narrow it down. You can say I told you so if it comes in the 80s :P

Just realised I iced this up. I thought your middle prediction was meant to be the main one and the other two could be high or low. Ah well.

Anyway really want it to hit 95 now just so one of them is right.

You just had to believe!

I'd still be happier if it reached 95 and I lost, but realistically I don't think that's going to happen anymore. I just hope it doesn't fall too much and keeps at 94 :D

I never predicted 85! That was just a worst case scenario bet. Instead we got the best case scenario!

Yes it's life sized but it's actually just me, not a statue. That's why the collectors edition has a super limited quantity.
