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

What overall score are you expecting?

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.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is still mixed overall and mixed recent. If the game is bad enough on release it will keep those mixed reviews, and performance fixes are unlikely as the issues are directly caused by the engine of choice and are seemingly unfixable if DD2 is anything to go by with its "revolutionary" AI (that's no better than the AI you'd find in any Bethesda game) and general terrible rendering issues causing the game to choke horribly on the performance front.

From journalists? I expect nothing. Video Game journalists only give positive reviews because they want to continue to receive early access review copies. They don't rock the boat because they want to continue to be one of the first outlets to push out a review for ad revenue clicks.

Saw this with Starfield and Dragons Dogma 2. Whole industry is untrustworthy.

I don't care but if i did, maybe a 7.5 more or less

[Sempervirens]

I do not care. I'm gonna play my game.

7/10 too much brown

who still believed in woke ?

Expecting a 90 on meta. Reach about 650k on steam. End up selling more than World.

77 out of 2

The numbers stopped meaning anything years ago >.<

This comes across as snarky but it was meant as a joke. Seriously though screw game reviewers and review sites. They're all bought and paid for.

I'm expecting journalists to do what they always do, half ass play the game on the easiest modes possible and make outlandish statements about the entirety of any game even if they never actually played the game how its supposed to be played.

Game journalists have zero integrity these days

I couldn't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about them anymore

I am very curious about that one myself. Same for xenoblade chronicles X definitive edition.

As much as I defend this game, early reviews are never to be trusted. Never forget Cyberpunk.

Stop listening to je.. i mean Journalist and research yourself what the average normal man thinks and then you can sum up if it's worth spending money on.

[Chaos]

People still care what these hac... I mean "journalist" have to say?
After all their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ score?

Color me surprised.

It's wild(s) to see people saying YouTubers are trustworthy. They're the mostly flaky shills who believe in nothing apart from driving engagement to their monetised streams. How many times have we seen the cycle of hyping a game to a ridiculous degree (happily taking the free codes and gifts) then trashing it on release to drive hatebait views.

Fwiw I think Wilds will score very highly. MH has become less niche since world and I think make the leap into the mainstream like Elden Ring did for FS.
