Rumor: Embargo will lift on 24th February

[侍Kage]

There are rumors that journalist review codes sent and embargo will lift on 24th February.

What overall score are you expecting?

[-Lesziel-]

88-89 like world

[Derivat949]

Same as World

Most game journos are fake and are being paid by a third party for their reviews. Their scores aren't to be trusted tbh.

You can feel free to think like that, unfortunately majority of playerbase care about review scores. If MH achieves 90 or more, it will boost the sales like never before. It's really impossible to get around 90 scores anymore, super rare.

It's kinda funny how I feel like some random Youtuber can be more trustworthy than a game journo nowadays... At any rate, my guess for the scores are about 6-7 or maybe an 8. At least any PC reviews anyway, because the optimization is kinda ass. Even if they're getting paid by a third party, it's unlikely they'll just ignore that.

80's likely but IGN might do the 7/10 per usual citing performance.

Dunno. Don't care.

Written reviews are largely redundant when you can just hop on your preferred video streaming platform and watch uncut gameplay of whatever game you want.

I still read them occasionally, but generally only out of boredom LONG after I've made up my mind.

85-95. Steam user reviews will be mixed for ages due to performance but will eventually end up in very positive rating months after release.

Players really don't care about game journos anymore. What would boost sales is youtubers talking highly of the game
