Reviews are by their nature subjective beyond mere facts. Asking for objectivity in a review is genuinely ludicrous and absurd.

I doubt there's a single professional games reviewer who takes pride in being objective lol. They're giving your their opinion, that's what a review is.

Dunno why you're getting preemptively upset about a critical response that you haven't seen yet.
This is why this thread is about an AVG review not a review from a single guy…
 
I went with 85-89, which hopefully is conservative.

RETRO tend to always knock it out of the park. Other than their +10 year hiatus I have no reason to doubt them.

Why are you directing this response at me? I'm not the one demanding objectivity from subjective reviews lol (a nonsensical contradiction), I think you should be replying to the poster who said that.

i dont see this getting lower than 90+, most reviewers grew up playing this and they are waiting for a lot of time to a new game on the franchise.

I am not upset, I don't care. Simply explaining to you how professional reviews work. They are not exactly giving an opinion, they are running a business. Keep this in mind.
 
My heart says a 91.

I think it's going to be heavily praised for its presentation, atmosphere, controls, exploration, and general faithfulness to the Prime formula (in spite of some of the discourse). I also think the motorcycle is going to go over better than most people think.

I do think some reviewers will hate the chatty NPCs though and that the writing in general might be seen as weaker than the original games.

What you wrote is not what somebody who doesn't care about reviews would write.

You're preemptively seething about theoretically negative reviews, despite an established history of these games reviewing very well.

Please share your conspiracy theories with us.

I don't have anything to share as I don't care. Haven't read a professional review in maybe 15 years.

This is a thread about predicting an average score, and I shared my prediction. Is that okay with you ?

This you?

Also Nintendo is not even my primary platform of choice lol.

Not very smart, are you? You can't read a series of obvious jokes for what they are.

Anyway, go back to screeching at anyone who you perceive as making a slight against a Nintendo studio when I was making a very general point that had nothing in particular to do with Retro.

I already told you Nintendo is not my primary platform.

Ok, sure. I don't really know what saying that Nintendo isn't your primary platform is meant to be prove, but sure.

That still doesn't explain why you reacted so badly to my point about the changing nature of studios over time and the Ship of Theseus analogy, started going on about Halo (completely irrelevant), me being ''scared'' of a good Prime game (deeply ironic given I am huge fan of the series and am naturally hoping 4 is great) and writing 'it's a fucking first party Nintendo game', as if that proves anything or refutes my point.

If you think that sounds like a reasonable response (and not at all like that of a hyper-sensitive fanboy) to someone musing about the empheremal nature of identity and how it applies to games studios, ok then.
