Anything less than 10/10 and I'll burn it all to the ground! ^_^

Fuck that, I want to see critical reviews rather than people so hyperactive over just getting a new Metal Gear. By all means give the game a 10 if it deserves it, but we've all see MGS 4's review fun. I've never disagreed with so many reviews before

100%

If the game deserves it, fine. But you know reviewers will have had their hand hovering over the 10 button this week at even the slightest scent of fan service in this game.
 
I'm guessing it will land around a 90 average, with lots of 10s but a significant amount of 8s or even lower.

I am really expecting the story and themes (if they're as fucked up as they seem to be hinted at) to rub some the wrong way and affect their outlook on the game. Kojima is a great game designer but I'm not convinced he can handle the "mature" story he's shooting for here. That said, I HOPE he nails it!

I loved MGS4 and am completely comfortable with the reviews it got :p

MGS4 has a 94 Metacritic.

MGSV looks like the typical "AMAZE GAME YO!"
1080P/ SIXTY SILKY FRAMES PER SECOND
OPEN WORLD
LOTS OF SHIT TO DO
LOTS OF GAMEPLAY SHIT
GUNS
STORY
IS FRANCHISE GAME!

It'll be fine. It's not like this is a corridor stealth game. :p

The Solid series, at least the console entries, have always reviewed in the 90's going all the way back to MGS. So fanservice won't have much to do with it. Although interestingly, MGS3 is the lowest ranking console MGS at 91, even though it's widely viewed as the best entry. MGS sits at 94, MGS2 is at 96, and MGS4 is at 94.

I'm going to predict that it will have an average review score higher than Bloodborne and Witcher 3 but lower than the GTA V and Last of Us remasters. 93 or 94.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
Expecting in the 80's. People aren't going to be happy with the significantly reduced story focus.

Reviewers who finished the game have said to take some reviews with a pinch of salt as they noticed a lot of journos at the event didn't get very far in the time they had.

My thoughts as well. Most will agree it's a good game, but the question of its greatness will be divisive.
I mean it's whatever, the critics have had bad taste when it comes to MGS up until this point. MGS1 and 3 are clearly the best in the series but the loony journalists pegged MGS4 and 2 as the greatest thus far.

Pshhhh.

I have high expectations, I think core Metal Gear is one of the few series' that can go toe to toe with core Mario/Zelda/Metroid in terms of consistent quality.

MGS2 is easily as good as 1 & 3. Easily.
