With 2016 off to a fantastic start with the likes of The Witness, X-COM 2 and Firewatch all being fantastic and scoring well, What are your predictions for the the rest of the year.

I though it would be fun to pick 10 of the biggest games this year and see who could come the closest to guessing the scores. (Via Metacritic)

Exact Score = 12 points
1 point off = 9 Points
2 points off = 8 Points
3 points off = 7 Points
4 points off = 6 Points
5 points off = 5 Points
6 points off = 4 Points
7 points off = 3 Points
8 points off = 2 Points
9 points off = 1 Points
10+ points off = 0 Points
Guessing the game will be delayed until 2017 = 5 points
( You may only guess Delayed or a Score. All score guesses are valid even if delayed but released within 2016. A guess of delayed will only score if the game is delayed until 2017. Any score guesses for games delayed until 2017 will score 0)

If games are released on multiple platforms then the platform with the most reviews will count as the official score.
The official meritocratic score will be taken a few days after the review embargo to account for score fluctuation.
If the score shifts up or down 3 points after i allocate points, then i will rescore the game and adjust the leaderboard. (within a month)

Please use the name of the game when scoring as release dates may change.

Game 1. Hitman
Game 2. Far Cry Primal
Game 3. The Division
Game 4. Dark Souls III
Game 5. Uncharted 4
Game 6. Quantum Break
Game 7. No Mans Sky
Game 8. StarFox Zero
Game 9. Gears 4
Game 10. Yooka-Laylee

Good Luck.

(Update)
Somehow this thread is the most interesting thing ive created at work all week so unless there are some gaf rules against it ill put up a £10 / $10 prize for first place. As in a code for Steam, PSN or Xbox Live.

[MegaSackman]

Shouldn't be the version with most reviews on multiplatform games? Just saying.

 

[mclem]

I'm going to guess that all the listed games are going to be delayed until 2017.

Don't get me wrong: I'm under no misconception that'll actually be the case (isn't Primal only a week or so away?), but I'm curious how well a 'lazy guess' like that will do!


(I do think that breaking it down to single-point differences is a bit too random for reasonable predictions. Predicting in 5-point blocks would, I feel, fit a bit better, then offering lower scores for a block in either direction)

You guys thinking NMS scores high are living on hopes and dreams I think.

 

[FelipeMGM]

If games are released on multiple platforms then ill use the highest score given as the games official score.

This is not really the best way to do it IMO. You should take the platform with most reviews as the official one

Agreed, the platform with the most reviews is obviously the most accurate (Metacritic) representation of the game.

I'd actually say that about Star Fox myself. That game just doesn't look like it's going to turn out very good, meanwhile No Mans Sky at least has the whole indie minimalist/artsy sort of ideas and concepts of something like Journey going on which got stellar reviews.
