1 exclusive Reviewer worldwide, no preload, no demo...
what are you trying to hide? :(

Hope the reviews to be out before release. I'll buy the game should the metascore been 75 or higher.

metacritic is biased, some sites have a higher impact on the score and score itself means nothing. basing a buying decision on a number is more than foolish

Risen 1 has higher score than 2&3, Most people would agree. Gothic 2's score is even higher than Risen 1, also most people would agree. Then the score of Gothic 1 higher than gothic 2, well that's up to debate maybe.
Overall I find Metascore is relatively more objective than any other source, in the case of PB's game at least.
What I'm expecting is a game on par with Risen 1(77).

Risen 1 Is kinda different than the second and third game, tho. You really feel the gothic vibe in there, and overal it's just a good game. Dunno about 2 and 3. I mean, I still played them, finished them, and enjoyed them greatly, (Combat looks to me like in witcher 3. Few hits, roll, few hits, roll. Dunno. Seems familiar. Also ♥♥♥♥ Stegny.), but acording to like EVERYBODY ELSE I'm just a dumb ♥♥♥♥, who doesn't know what a good game is.

But true, if it's at least 75, then it's good. Great even. I mean, we have AngryDick panting over our necks already. Him, and his ,,fans''.

Now that more independent reviews are coming in, did you get your answer??

There are 2 really big gaming publications in germany, Gamestar and PCGames, both of them are entirely full of crap and publish paid for reviews literally all the time, clearly and fraudulently misleading people.

PB in particular and Gamestar have a long lasting relationship of paid for reviews. For all their games btw, Gothic 3 got a rating of 84%. Risen 2 got 85% :-))

Gamestar is the biggest german gaming publication too so developers have a lot of incentive to ask them for this fraudulent behaviour. And they obviously and for many years have complied more than happily. Or the other way around, who really knows what goes on behind closed doors when they plan to BS gullible gamers.

I highly doubt it will be above 75. The casual idiot reviewers will crap all over this game. IGN will probably give it a 6/10.

actually lower than that (Gamespot gave it 4/10 too) and while IGN is pretty much the worst of all time and always to be ignored, it does seem justified at least.

PB should spend more money on polishing their games and hiring some new designers instead of spending the obviously limited money on buying reviews.
