Support NeoGAF

I hope this gets roasted, so it sends a message to Ubisoft.

 

[DukeBobby]

Hmm, I'll say 75.

Just enough to give it a green Metacritic score.

 

[Courage]

I'm guessing Jim couldn't even finish it due to technical issues. In that case, the game should get a below average score, to put it kindly.

 

[Nbz]

Time for fireworks

 

[Ty4on]

Damn, I came home from school and have just read about the embargo and framerate issues. For once perfect timing

 

[cyberheater]

This is going to be good.

 

[ambar_hitman]

My guess will be 80+ Metacritic.

 

[Chobel]

Hopefully the Metacritic score matches the framerate.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Got my GIFs at the ready.

 

[DoubleTake]

Hopefully the Metacritic score matches the framerate.

Sheeeiiit dat first post slap hahah

I still cant get over Master Roshi and MR. PoPo though lmao

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Hopefully the Metacritic score matches the framerate.

 

[mreddie]

If Rogue ends up being better than Unity, shit gonna go down.

 

[Patryn]

Suspect reviews will be all over the place.

Meta: 72.

 

[Gamezone]

I wonder how many copies of Assassins Creed Ubisoft can release each year before media gets tired.

 

[Atlas157]

70-75 Metascore sounds right to me.

 

[Mellahan]

I expect great things from this tread. Don't let me down, GAF.

 

[VRMN]

Wait? Isn't this game already out today? Why didn't reviews go up at midnight? This is a really late embargo.

I'll give you a guess as to why that might be.

 

[legacyzero]

Holy Shit at those tweets.

 

[stump sock]

this is gonna be better than the game.

 

[viveks86]

Whoa!

 

[Nafai1123]

This will be the true test of whether reviewers have started expanding their review scale.

 

[Kane1345]

Haven't looked so forward to a review thread ever. That other thread is amazing, still laughing

 

[newjeruse]

Metacritic prediction: 66

 

[ramuh]

I'm currently eating my free meal at the Greene turtle waiting on the reviews. That way I can decide to pick my pre order up or not.... =/

 

[Markitron]

Repost from the other thread.

I'll bet IGN will mention some 'minor hiccups' in their review, before giving it 9.3

Guessing a metacritic of 85

 

[PodcastFips]

71.

 

[AngryMoth]

A lot of the changes they talked about sounded good to me, flexible mission objectives, making combat harder, more options with parkour. I have been thinking this game might be a pleasant surprise but buzz doesn't seem good. Not optomistic about reviews now

 

[Llamadeus]

Why does it have to happen when the game is set in France ?? :'(

You'd think Ubisoft, being a french company and all, would get this one right.

 

[Endoplasmatisch]

Reviewers man... Are reviews really THAT important? Destinys reviews weren't that great, still sold a TON. I guess, Marketing and perception is way More important than reviews for a lot of "gamers".

 

[macewank]

But the real question is, will anyone learn anything?

absolutely not.

That said, I'm going to be bold and offer up a 4/10 prediction here.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

The score should be ranging from 70s to 80s, I think

 

[kribz]

 

[Drakeon]

So glad I didn't pre-order.

 

[deoee]

This will be the true test of whether reviewers have started expanding their review scale.

Expect nothing...

 

[hitsugi]

I'm thinking it will be high 70s..

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

It'll be in the 70-75 range on metacritic I bet.

 

[friskykillface]

Its time

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Metacritic: 79,98

 

[Amir0x]

My guess will be 80+ Metacritic.

maybe 76 metacritic average with reviews going

'but if you can look past [insert laundry list of damning technical and gameplay flaws], it's one of the best games you can spend your money on! Next-gen may have started out as a lot of empty promises, but with Unity Ubisoft finally delivers on the label!'

We'll see. I usually have such low expectations but reviewers have seemed to have been a lot harsher on big AAAs lately. We'll have to cross our fingers.

Didn't AC3 get something like 85?

 

[nrvalleytime]

Ubisoft is as Ubisoft does.

You have to at least give them credit for knowing they have an inferior product and still releasing it.

 

[Vodh]

I'm guessing 78 Metacritic. Lots of 'yeah performance sucks but the game is good 8/10', couple 'fuck performance game is amazing 10/10' and another few 'game sucks performance sucks 5/10'

 

[Gaz_RB]

To be fair, this is the best PowerPoint presentation I've ever played.

 

[Bootador83]

68 metacritic, still too favourable.

 

[mjc]

I'm gonna say 79-80.

 

[Barrett2]

it would be fascinating to know how many sites are frantically lowering their review scores right now out of fear of being embarrassed for rating it too highly.

 

[MoodyFog]

Hopefully the Metacritic score matches the framerate.

Aw sheiiit

 

[Unknown One]

Usually you hope for good reviews in a review thread, but I'm looking forward to the bad ones this time around.

 

[bud23]

Metacritic: 67

 

[SpotAnime]

Assassin's Creed 3 2.0

From watching thr livestreams yesterday, I'd say you're not far off.
