Moar Bets! Metascore Rating!

[Alex_KF]

If it breaks 80 , ill be astonished / wearing a ****-eating grin around town for a week.

If it makes high seventies, i'll be pleased.

In all other cases (lower than that) i'll just do what i usually do. Treat metacritic with a grain of salt.

85 I think.

 

[Welshie]

Who cares
Critics are people who wanna be but never had the balls to ever be
As long as the gamers give a good score (and even then as some are saying about the L4D comparision) alls good
As long as I enjoy it You have nothing to worry about

 

[Fedorov]

probably it wont have that good user score because there are always fanboys who vote "0" you know who they are

 

[Nenjin]

Since life isn't fair, and the devs are already crackin' jokes...

My bet is 82. Or 80. Given that L4D got an 89, and that was with Valve spit shine and polish and a lot of dev time, the reviewers are probably going to rank it lower.

Is okey though. To me metascore only really matter when it drops below 70. Then you've got to stat assuming that, media journalists or not, there's something really wrong with a game at that score.

What exactly do I win if I guess the Metascore correctly?

An accurate metascore.

 

[|ULF|_Monkeyman]

An accurate metascore would be pretty cool but, couldn't I perhaps obtain some special in-game unlock for myself or something?

 

[Nenjin]

I'm sure they'll get right on that.

 

[Lucky_Fr4gg3r]

I'm guessing 75-83

 

[smokeythebear]

My guess; 76/100

 

[MareNostrum]

A higher metascore will help with better sales. It sucks but I know people that will refuse to buy games unless they get high scores. IGN gave zeno clash ($10) a 84 which is surprisingly good for an independent game. However gamespot gave it a 65 and brought the metascore down a lot.

 

[Innociv]

Yea, but xplay will give it a solid 2 out of 5 for not being L4D. Just as RO got 2 out of 5 for not being CoD.

THE ABOVE IS MY PERSONAL OPINION/JEST. IT DOES NOT REFLECT THE OPINION OF TRIPWIRE INTERACTIVE OR ANY OF IT'S EMPLOYEES.

Aye like i've been saying.

xplay are freaking retards. If they reviewed cars, they'd give a ferrari a 2/5 for not having a truck bed to haul things. That's their god damn mentality. They don't review games for what they are. They'll go "This game has zombies, so it's supposed to be L4D, but it's not, so 2/5"

Anyways i'm guessing a low 80 after a month or two.

Funfact: RO would of been a high 80 if not for G4's review. Instead it's an 81.

 

[Mkilbride2599]

I don't trust G4 either, and Gamespot is very hard to trust lately. Zeno Clash is GoTY stuff, but because it's Indie...it won't win.

 

[Feywood]

Hmm...

Hmm...

I'm going to guess that it will score around 71/100, and I can pretty much guarantee that at least one source will use the exact phrase "poor man's Left 4 Dead" to describe it.

 

[Kiytan]

I'm going to go with 77, due to the "it's not left 4 dead" votes

Also: channel flip have some of the most hilariously wrong game reviews ever. I'd be surprised if the woman who reviews them even plays the games (one of her main complaints about the new(ish) banjo kazooie game was there was no pause...It's the start button ffs, just like every other xbox360 game, i fail to see how you can complete a game and not figure that out, plus there was a few other things in several reviews that just aren't correct)

Well isnt that cheery.

 

[Mkilbride2599]

Well isnt that cheery.

It's just realistic. It's undeniable that alot about it is the same, it's coming out shortly after L4D did, not to mention L4D is immensely popular and well known in the gaming community, and KF was a popular mod, but no where near as known as L4D, and most people won't know it came first, or perhaps not even believe it.

 

[Innociv]

Yeah he's just being rather realistic. You will be judged as if it's a $50 game if it's a 3d engine.

 

[Nenjin]

I think his point was: we all know it's a realistic assessment. No real reason to crab on about it in the forums though. 'Tis a happy day today. Plenty of time later to revert to our natural state of being bitter gamers.
