I think the game will end up in the high-80s, low 90s. Reason being is the game does have a polarising effect on a lot of people. There's a lot of people who absolutely love it, but there are also a lot of people who will just find any excuse to bash the game they can. I suspect there's going to be a decent amount of reviewers also stuck in the WoW-mentallity, who will rate the game poorly based on that alone. I've already seen quite a few vloggers doing this already (inspite their fans trying to point out their mistakes). Some people just don't care if they're viewing something wrong. |

Originally posted by otinanai123 I find diablo 3 an average game overall but most those low scores came right from launch when the servers blew up and people couldn't log in so they filled the rating with 0 scores I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

83-86 is my guess.

Originally posted by otinanai123 I don't think D3 deserved an 88, I would say like 82...so I think the critic score is WAY closer to the truth. I have to ask, have you ever played a truly bad game? Like ET? Or Big Rigs: over the road racing? Or Daikatana? THOSE games are actually bad and deserve very low scores...D3 may not have been as good as D2, and may even be inferior to TL in some ways, but in NO WAY does it deserve a 3.8. I really feel like if you think that D3 deserves a 3.8, then you have no sense of perspective in what makes a good and a bad game. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

I think, all things being equal, that the critic score will be somewhere around 95, provided they "get it". User score - again if done fairly - slightly higher. Now, considering how things actually run on those sites, the actual numbers will be a little lower, maybe around 90 for critics and slightly higher for users - if the haters don't purposely try to downgrade the score. Considering some of the hatred I've seen on this site, I wouldn't be very surprised. lol
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for??? Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE! |

OP - take a lesson in social-statistics. your scales ranges are inconsistant and the fact there is no ranges for anything below 70 notes your obvious bias. if you want a fair and unbiased metacritic score, you have construct yout pole better. |

Why is it that fantasy trolls are vulnerable to fire, but internet trolls thrive on flame wars? |

Originally posted by pmcubed Anyone who think that GW2 will get <70% on metacritic is being completely unrealistic. Sorry, but the poll is fine ;). Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by Creslin321 At least make the ranges consistant. This is the reason why China is winning. |

Originally posted by Creslin321 Different people have different rating systems I guess. For me a great game is above 8, an average game is between 4-6 and a truly horrible game is at 0-1. D3 is an average game so I'd give it a ~5. (and in no way is torlchlight better than either d2 or d3, I would give it a 2 or2.5 max) An 82 for D3 seems crazy and unrealistic and (as the user reviews show) most people would agree with me and not you. |

Originally posted by pmcubed The poll is constructed in similar fashion to how the +/- grading scale works: Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by Creslin321 lol. similar.... try mirroring that. you obvious made arbitrary scales for some reason that I can only attribute to laziness or you are trying to coerce people into choosing a score that you had a personal connecton to. It is unethical. |

Originally posted by otinanai123 Yeah but here's the thing...we are talking about metacritic here, which is just a aggregate of review scores. And MOST reviewers use a scale similar to the US grading system, which basically means that metacritic uses the US grading system as well. A 80-89 score for a game is very comparable to getting a "B" on your paper in school. We are not talking about someone's arbitrarily defined scale. And honestly, arguing that you like using the whole scale or whatever is kind of dumb anyway, because there are an infinite amount of number between any two integers anyway. So it's not like you're losing any expressiveness by basically dismissing all numbers below 7 as "failure." My viewpoint is that we may as well just use the scale that the majority of other people use. All trying to use your own scale does is muck things up...there is nothing inherently "better" with any scale over another. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by pmcubed Yes I am uethical, go ahead and report me to the BBB lol. It's just a freaking poll. It's off by ONE number from that scale. ONE NUMBER. And this is out of a 100 point scale. Also, what agenda do I have here? How am I trying to coerce people to choose something? Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Creslin is right - YOU personally may not like GW2, but anyone thinking its over-all Metacritic score (based on average of Critics reviews) is going to be anything less than 70% is "dey turk our jerbz!" stupid.

i am going to say 90 seems like a fair bet. edit - anyone who chose under 70 is trolling. i would be EXTREMELY suprised if GW2 had a meta score under 80 tbh this is NOT my opinion on the game this is what i think the critics numerical representation of there opinion will be. From beta i would give the game 85 but i know its not fair to rate a beta but screw it! Playing: EVE online and TL2 |

I'm gonna run with 77-79 as my guess.
I expect the amateur writing and abysmal voice acting will turn off a lot of reviewers (and it should), but there will be a lot of good fun and pvp action to be had for people who can look past the terribad story. I think a lot of reviewers will see the potential behind the game for those who make their own way, giving the game a "decent" score, but they'll also recognize that the embarassing attempt at a personal story will scare off a good chunk of players.
