Scores aren't listed in the OP yet so I've just looked them up:
Halo Wars 2 (Xbone) - 79
Horizon: Zero Dawn - 89
Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) - 97
I'm on 19 points so far. Not so great.

Damn I should have done this. I would have surely came off with the strong. Smh at the predictions scores I've read through on the first few pages, lol.
Just because scoring is harder this generation doesn't mean that games with great potential will not score well or games series that traditional done well won't...
I'm not sure the thought process behind people who predicted Zelda being less than 90. That was an easy one... All you literally had to do was take a look at past game metacritic score at the VERY least.
As for Horizon, lol at people rating it less than 80 based on all the impressions we've gotten prior to this thread.
But yeah, I didn't get chance to do my own in this thread. I have separate posts where I guess an 88 for Horizon and a 96 for Zelda. I didn't post any prediction about Halo Wars, but mine guess for a game like that would have been 80.
You can be sure that Mario and Uncharted will be at 90 and above. The big game on there that's actually throwing me off is Mass Effect.

They are! You just gotta look at the spreadsheet

I plan to update the images this weekend though.

I just got majorly screwed by Mass Effect. I thought the critics would fawn over it like they do with all Bioware games, but I guess this time the flaws were just too obvious to ignore.

Releasing after 3 incredibly well reviewed open world games probably didn't help matters as well. Now the question is; how is it going to affect sales? We know it didn't do jack to ghost recon: wildlands

Yeah, I'll have a look through the topic but I'd be surprised if more than an outlier or two expected ME:A to score so low.
This is also true. Who would have thought a few years ago that the developers of Killzone would make a better ARPG than BioWare?!

ME:A's average predicted score was 85. Which means if it holds steady we'll literally almost 2/3 of the scores being zero. Only 8 people out of over 300 predicted 75 or less (four predicted 75).

Good god, I didn't think Zelda would be quite so high, and I thought Mass Effect would review way better. So much for my ballot.

Lol I was going to say yall got screwed on Mass Effect. Mine was one of the lower scores I saw and I gave it a 80!
That's some perspective! Looks like ME:A is underperforming critically by quite a massive amount. The people who predicted lower are going to make a huge jump in the ranking, basically a chance for a few to nestle themselves on top. The competition just became that much more interesting!

The interesting part is a lot of the members on the top of the leaderboard were way off on this one.
For the future I think the biggest wildcard is Cuphead.

I'm now wondering if I've estimated too high on Crackdown. I really don't think it's going to be this big amazing AAA game a lot of Xbox fans seem to, and reviewers are being harsher with scores almost across the board. If it doesn't have some depth and it doesn't have good shooting mechanics then it could score very poorly. The tech looks amazing but will it have more going on under the hood?

Game 1. Halo Wars 2 - 81 (79) ---> 8 points
Game 2. Horizon: Zero Dawn - 80 (89) ---> 1 point
Game 3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 93 (97) ---> 6 points
Game 4. Mass Effect: Andromeda - 79 (75) ---> 6 points
Not bad, but not good either. I shouldn't have underestimated Horizon XD

I have a feeling Yooka-Laylee is going to score a lot lower than most of us expect. Deliberately antiquated style of game + harsher critics this gen = mid 70s I'm thinking. I think the reviews for it are up tomorrow.
What I have heard about the minigames from the previews seems more worrying than the style. Several people have said they simply are not fun. I bet 81 and I am honestly a bit worried about it. Anyway, we'll see in a day or two what it'll turn out to be if the reviews are up tomorrow.
Considering some of the things I've heard about it - I think my score of 75 may of been a bit too high :|
Yeah, I am getting the feeling that it may end up being in the low to mid 70's. I voted with my heart, which was probably a mistake.

You're right. I see my mistake. I'll fix it tomorrow
I was robbed. Robbed, I say! Sorrynotsorry is out to get me. He never liked my plucky attitude. The worst part is that he isn't even sorry about it!

Haha you should be first. You will be tomorrow! Sorry, I'm not sorry about it.

Things have been so quiet with Cuphead. If it's not at E3 next month I can see it missing 2017 altogether.
I currently only have Assassin's Creed down for a delay.

I will add you as void so you can track
. You won't be added to the ranking spreadsheet.Holy shit I'm tied first place! Hope that keeps up.
Nice, those 12 points on Prey helped a lot!
I would like to know this, too. Well, not the waiting part, but whether you would edit it if it gets more reviews.
