What do you mean?

He was one off of Uncharted 4.  Was even holding onto his score before for a while.

Plus he's hopeful it'll go down, so he'll win.

There is room for 1-2 point increase or drop until a week after release lol

Everybody already is out of the prediction.

What do you mean?

I think I bet on a 94 meta for Uncharted 4 and the game held that score for the longest time but dropped off by a single point eventually.

Here I bet on an 87 meta, so maybe I'll get lucky with this and the score drops by another point.

I dont care who wins. As long as that person isnt legend.

AC Sydnicate and Black Flag are great games.

Black flag is my favourite AC game. It's incredible and one of the best games this gen for me (top 10)

Surely you want me to win

Your 96 to win.  

Would be crazy.

dang straight!!    

Would be awesome if it could climb to 90(doubtful though) which would mean I win, but just having it hit 90 would be amazing especially for it being a new ip.

That would be more of a surprise than the patriots coming back to win

Horizon is now 87th out of 181 games with 88. Down from 5th. So today's 4 reviews dropped its meta score by about 0.45

dang, it could easily fall to 87 at this rate

Giant Bomb:

It's a fantastic science fiction tale that expertly hangs the next piece of information just out of reach without feeling like it's stretching its information out too thinly. I thought the game was coming to an end around two-thirds of the way through, only to discover that there were multiple hours of mainline gameplay left to experience and additional answers to seek.

By the end, Horizon comes to a satisfying conclusion in a way that left me feeling like they should probably never make a sequel. It's a near-perfect story that creates a world and also provides meaningful answers about said world. Not to soapbox about it, but games don't do that often enough anymore. The events of Horizon have weight and the game feels less like franchise building and more like a cohesive statement.

That's me done with Horizon threads. This sound too good to have even a little of it spoilt.

So I guess it's fair to assume some sales PR for this shortly after launch. Does anyone wanna bet on launch/week one sales?

Not going to bother. Even if I win, you won't give me that sweet dog.

I gotta talk to HR about all this sexual harrassment one day.

I am HR.

What kind of high class brothel has an HR department?

Btw.
