Higher than their career average. I think it lands around here too.

Expecting this game will get high review scores of 8-9.5 from all the major outlets, there is obviously a huge media push and big advertising behind it.
Expect consesus from players will be a 7/10 game as the actual gameplay, combat and puzzle solving looks super shallow and barebones.
For super Harry Potter fans the game will probably be seen as better than the sum of its parts.

Do you have any source for this?
Then Metacritic should have those websites removed from their database. Critics scores are already hard to trust since games get patches after the release and critics never return to adjust their scores.
GAF should treat them as banned websites too.

So sad that this game's rating will not be centered solely on the actual game but also on the politics in the background.

Remember, everything is involved in politics now. Performance, merit, talent comes secondary in today's world. You have to have the right attitude, meaning the right politics. An example would be Nintendo was going to be cancelled by the lunatics or have a campaign to be cancelled, until Nintendo put out a statement about the civil unrest of 2020 in the US, this was after their New York store was trashed and looted. They had to get in line or else.
As others have said in here, this game will not be judged fairly by critics on its graphics, gameplay, music, design. It will be judged by the creator's' politics.

Nor should they. That's the state they decided to release the game in. They should only get one chance at this.
I really don't think games should be re-revewed. Perhaps a small note at the end of the review if they have time.

I hope whoever does the review thread leaves out IGN and Gamespot, fuck giving them any extra coverage. After the IGN preview I will never click on anything of theirs again. They can continue trying to cram a tampon into their penises to their hearts content as far as I'm concerned

The sources is my opinion, now maybe it's not the best source but because i see what is happening and how things are moving i have come to that conclusion. I will be very happy to be wrong and they review it with integrity.

Let the review bombing commence.
The irony part of this is I can see it happen that people would buy the game on Steam just to review bomb it lol.
I expect it to be the other way around, user score on metacritic is gonna tank because of the controversy. Hopefully if the game will be actually good some positive word of mouth will spread about it.

I feel sorry for this game because it's definitely not going to get fair reviews. Especially from the dumbarses at like IGN and GameSpot.
That's why I think it was pretty genius to give previews to streamers earlier to show confidence and speak directly to the people.
Do we think any media outlet are going to have the guts to just review the game and not stick their head up their arse

I've seen ign and GameSpot people on like kinda funny podcasts talking about how they all discuss a game on a pvt slack. I also remember Greg saying once they all went and had lunch one day to discuss a game before release...
So they definitely "unofficially" do it

Problem is, such reviews don't actually help a potential consumer, even with the standardized day 1 patches things can change from how it was on the review code, and months later lots if things can have changed. Yet we look at Metacritic score for year old games and state "That game is bad/good, just look at the scores.".

. . . hilarious. Can't even keep track of the narrative: IGN was one of those "streamers" and gave one of the most positive impressions. I'm sure you've got some contrived explanation about how that's all part of the "plot" and is ACTUALLY evidence of their compromised ethics.
Anymore obvious we evidence of this. . .
And so you've extrapolated this wildly out of context anecdote to be clear evidence of Russian colly - err, gaming media collusion. Nice.
. . . or you could just stop going there and bringing that (by now repeated hundreds of times) here.

The devs have been treating the game more like a glorified tech demo than an actual game in their previews so this doesn't surprise me at all
The game looks nice and it clearly sticks to the source material, but the gameplay looks like complete ass tbh

You clearly don't understand the primary reason for review embargoes. Without an embargo, whichever outlet(s) hack together a review the fastest and publish first will get the majority of traffic and views. And benefit from adverstising revenue gained from this. The embargo allows all media outlets reasonable time to play the game, write a good quality review, and publish at the same time. In other words, it's got little to do with if the game is good or not. It "bodes well" for fairness in media and providing the opportunity for legitimate, quality, reviews.

I never said an embargo was worrisome, I just said it didnt bode well cause it was so close. GoW:R was 6 days before anyone saw it, and Horizon FW was almost 10 days.

I don't know how anyone is getting a "this is worrying" feeling, most games that are "bad" are hidden as much as possible and reviews come out on launch day, they don't bother getting reviews out before a deluxe edition release date, they also don't get hands on previews for websites either. So far most of the hands on previews have been said positive things about the combat so I don't see how that's something anyone is worried about either. I'm also glad they haven't shown many of the story elements or missions, it's nice to have that saved for when we actually play.

It'll get a huge user score from people making a point about the press and Rowling. Metacritic user scores are absolutely meaningless beyond positive/negative bombing for reasons outside the actual game.

Is that J.K.Rowling conflict relevant outside the USA market? Because here, in Spain, people I know interested in the game don't know anything about what J.K.Rowling said, and even if you mention it, that has zero impact in their purchase decision. Just curious about other countries/markets.

Relevant to a fraction of a percent of people where the US has exported woke culture to.

Most people here in the US don't know anything about it either. It's only the few that live in a echo chamber like ResetEra or Twitter or those that pay attention to such stuff such as here. 90% of the population has no idea what stuff is upsetting the wokies today nor care.
