Well?

I'm still playing AC6 so likely won't but who knows

I'm guessing a safe 85 or so. With a tagline like "Bethesda's newest installment offers an ambitious if flawed take on first person RPG genre, with incredible immersion and world building marred by performance issues and game-breaking bugs."

That's basically Fallout 76 but it had a lower score than that

It's a Bethesda game so it'll probably range from 85-95 but 80% of the reviews will say something like "as you would expect from a Bethesda game" in defense of some really bad jank that lost its novelty 4 games ago.

Honestly, for a big games like this, I feel like reviewers should at least play for a several days ~ one week before dropping a number (unless the game is so horrid as to be unplayable).

But of course, that's not realistic.

Anyways, expect it to be in the high 80s, but I don't think it'll break 90.
Too much hype that just can't be met and will inevitably leave some reviewers disappointed/let down.

97-100

I just want one game to score this high this year. two came close . One could have maybe achieved this if it had 2 dozen fewer reviewers (and still have like 100+ reviewers lol) tho tbf. maybe not achievable anymore for popular titles idk

That's what they do. They get early codes like a couple weeks before the review. How else would that work? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

I'm looking forward to Fallout in space tho

Thanks for clarifying it for me.

I was under the impression that reviewers got the codes like a day or so before (to prevent leaks) and had a limited time to play before posting a review.

Fallout 4 really wasn't that buggy at launch

It sucked, but it wasn't due to bugs

I was still having it crash & corrupt save data years after launch lol, or you couldn't load into an area, or the towns & encampments were janky & not working properly. Glitching out of environments, quests not loading or NPCs not being in the right spaces.

I platinumed it, it was very much buggy

Nah, so when you see reviews later after the game has been out for a while after the game has released that means they didn't get a code early and had to wait till release to play it like everyone else. If a reviewer was to break an embargo and leak something they would get blacklisted from future coverage and possibly legal action probably depending on whatever their agreement was

I'm thinking mid 80s - low 90s.

The only truly disappointing aspect of the game based on leaks is that you can't actually explore the entirety of planets.

This is fully my expectation.

It'll be big and ambitious, but because it's Bethesda, will be marred by the normal Bethesda bullshit.
