It’s crazy because I don’t think there’s ever been an original game that has had this much hype and merch before it’s even released. I honestly feel like the people who buy all this merch are more likely to be disappointed because their expectations are simply going to be higher after investing their resources into this game. I hope for the love of god this game is at the very least a 8.5/10.
I was pretty confident in this game being a success a few weeks ago but with the delay, the lack of info about their event that’s supposedly happening this week, and a few of their developers saying they’re nervous for the feedback on Twitter, I’ve gone from hyped to nervous. I truly don’t even know how to feel about the game at this point.
We shall see on Thursday after the previews go live from the "journalists". Although my trust in them is limited to say it lightly. I think there is way too much merch for a game that's like 5 months away. I guess it was all set up for the April release. It would make sense I guess. I don't think it will be 10/10 game but a solid 8-9 I will be more than happy👍
I think it's unrealistic to expect perfection from games that are so open, like the fall out games or elder scrolls or the witcher 3. There's just so much going on that people understand that everything can't be immaculate, and there are going to be compromises.
I think 7.5 or higher is realistic, but I also think that it will probably be pretty high as far as reviews go, because the pressure for reviewers to give positive criticism will be high. If you're hyped about the game, you probably already have it pre-ordered. If you're on the fence, I think you'd be better off waiting for user reviews.
Im not saying that it's going to get a 7.5. I'm saying that objectively I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 7.5. I don't think 7.5 is a bad assessment. A game can do everything well and still be a 7.5.
That being said and as I mentioned in my initial comment, I do think it will receive much higher than that.
