[Lulu]

[A New Beginning]

89

I hope it scores the same Animal Crossing just to complete the meme.

I'm actually betting on 91 because the press is not gonna score it as high as a highly anticipated Nintendo exclusive. It's just not happening.

When's the preload on Steam?

Thanks

Just seeing it in my library makes me very happy

Did someone recently decide that review threads can be posted a full day before the embargo lifts or something? Thought we were going towards the conclusion that metacritic predictions and such were lame, but I guess I was wrong. Now we get a full 24 hours of that.

I'll go with 93.

Look I'm half asleep right now, but isn't that literally AC's score right now?

 

[NuMiQ]

Can't wait to see if other's impressions line up with mine.
Thanks for the thread.

 

[ShinobiBk]

92

I feel it in my heart. IGN won't be bullshitting with a sub 8 score again

 

[Acquiesc3]

92

Then I'm changing my prediction to 90.

(AC was at 92 earlier)

 

[BlackJace]

I'm late for the 666 jokes, but fuck it

666

 

[Nimby]

666/740

GOTY

 

[GodlyTwins]

84

Are you going to put Opencritic in the OP too? It is the superior aggregator and deserves promoting over Metacritic, which remains super flawed. :)

 

[LordofPwn]

i think it'll def be high 80's like an 88 or 89. i think the difficulty and story may sour people a bit and getting 90+ is just harder and harder these days.

 

[bbq of doom]

I went with my gut--90-94. Hope I'm right, and if I'm wrong, I hope it's even better than expected.

 

[Deleted member 5086]

Fancy review thread. Nice work vestan .

 

[Daniel Westlake]

Solid 86 with complaints focusing on it being too long and having subpar multiplayer

 

[direct_quote]

Predicting 91

 

[Deleted member 2254]

I think it will score slightly lower than fans want it to, and there's a couple reasons for that, but I also think fans will be delighted with the game itself.

 

[Slime Stack]

88

 

[Rommaz]

Above the 2016 in score but not too much above it. So maybe 87-88? Fans will absolutely adore it though. Can't wait.

 

[bounchfx]

im so fuckin pumped for this shit after how good the other one was. hope it's a home run for everyones sake

 

[Doomguy Fieri]

95+. Early GOTY contender.

 

[Yushi]

90!
We're going the distance!
Cannot wait!

 

[Pyro]

91

 

[Kalik]

90-94

improves upon the 2016 version in every way...the addition of asynchronous Battlemode will put this over the 90% score

 

[BloodHound]

Lol someone got equity in opencritic.

 

[dmr87]

Hmmmm, 90-94. I think the platforming stuff has potential to sour some people.

I'll go with 91.

 

[Askherserenity]

Going with 94. Game will be close to perfect.

 

[YaBish]

I'm sticking with my prediction of 89.

 

[Patitoloco]

I agree 100% with him, and no, I don't get paid by Opencritic. It's just a better aggregator than Metacritic.

For some reason vestan never uses it on his OTs, and that wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't responsible for like 99.99999% of the OTs on this site.

 

[Static]

Sub 90. There's no way it makes it above 90. Animal Crossing will reign supreme.

89.

Hugo Martin, make my day.

Spoiler

Seriously, prove me wrong. I'm buying both games. I would love for Animal Crossing to end up the weaker of the two, scores wise, and Doom just to shoe in for GOTY.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Just because it looks good doesn't mean it'll be good. That said, it looks amazing and the response to Doom 2016 was so positive I think hype alone will make this game golden for people, at least during the review phase.

92.

 

[JayBabay]

88.

 

[Deleted member 18379]

90 or above.

 

[Iwao]

I'm going to start the VG critic aggregator wars :p
Nah, put them both in the OP is what I'm saying, just don't neglect the better option.

 

[Nimby]

I don't see the game getting above a 90, but it has a lot of hype behind it so who knows.

it will be my goty regardless if it's 85 or 95

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

90

I want to believe

 

[TaterTots]

Going with 88 or 89. People overshoot these predictions I noticed lol.

 

[FTF]

91.

Co-signed.

 

[Potterson]

I think it may be around 85. It may be too long for the kind of game this is. Devs were talking about 20 hours, right? I thought the first one was a bit too long :P

Unless they really will introduce new enemies and challenges regularly till the very end.

 

[Xtortion]

They've basically said this verbatim. The director has straight up said that the final level has a completely new environment and at least one new enemy.

 

[Deleted member 179]

96, big time GOTY contender

 

[Tahnit]

95
