MOD NOTE:

If you don't like a review, feel free to disagree with it, and explain why you do so. But stop making up conspiracy theories and deranged ulterior motives. Shit like that leads to online harassment, and it's completely unacceptable.

If you can't discuss reviews like an adult, go somewhere else.

[NotLiquid]

Guessing 77 MC

 

[SexyFish]

70 even MC prediction.

Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[thestopsign]

My 88 MC prediction may not come true, but I sincerely hope it does.

 

[Interfectum]

Yooka-Laylee- Review Thread

Hello everyone Yooka-Laylee Review Embargo is ending in about an 1 hour, please post all the reviews here if you wouldn't mind when they're up! Looking forward to it ^_^

 

[Rarius]

I hope it's good. For some reason my heart really, really wants to wait for the Switch version, I don't know why, I have a very capable PC that I could have it right away on, but buying it for the Switch just feels... Right.

 

[Unkle]

73 average for me.

You'll see a lot of 6's in that mix.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Predict 73 on MC

 

[Acquiescence]

Please be good. I want it to be good.

 

[Calm Mind]

I believe people will be pleasantly surprised by the review scores.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

73 MC average is my bet.

73 average for me.

You'll see a lot of 6's in that mix.

Predict 73 on MC

Guessing a 73 for this.

It's just never looked very good.

MC with unfortunately be around a 73.

We got dis.

 

[benzopil]

73 average for me.

You'll see a lot of 6's in that mix.

Why some of you are so sure about this?

 

[Zukkoyaki]

This strikes me as the type of game where reviews are irrelevant so long as you know what you're getting into. Still interested in seeing what people think though.

 

[Salty Rice]

Cant wait. Bring it on.

 

[Tamanator]

It'll be mid 70s on MC.

That's inline with how Banjo Kazooie/Tooie XBLA releases rated on MC.

 

[jacobeid]

Why some of you are so sure about this?

Because the pre-release footage isn't great?

I'm guessing low to mid 70s on metacritic.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Why some of you are so sure about this?

Regardless of overall quality, some may find the structure antiquated and not to their liking. This type of game is made for a really specific audience and may not resonate well with some reviewers.

This strikes me as the type of game where reviews are irrelevant so long as you know what you're getting into. Still interested in seeing what people think though.

Exactly this. Though I try to apply this thinking to everything I play.

 

[Kouichi]

I'm going to be a bit more positive and say it will be in the low 80s. I'm already 100% on board with game no matter what though.

 

[Phediuk]

Guessing a 73 for this.

It's just never looked very good.

 

[heringer]

74 MC.

 

[Intel_89]

Hopefully it'll stay at 70+.

 

[Munter]

High 70's, gonna go with 78

 

[Makonero]

Why make a review thread with no reviews?

 

[Karspankey]

I'm gonna go with an 82 on MC. I don't think it looks too hot, though.

 

[CrayToes]

68 meta.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

atleast post the leaked review from yesterday OP. why bother to make a review thread with no reviews...

72 MC

 

[Camjo-Z]

It's a game from the 90's... so the MC score will be in the 90's! Oh yeah baby!

 

[Greatest Ever]

80 Metacritic

 

[Jonneh3003]

Perfect first post aha

 

[Unkle]

Why some of you are so sure about this?

Impressions pre-embargo (you're able to talk about the first two stages if I recall correctly), and just the odd word here and there -- the game's been in hands for like four-or-so weeks. I'll be thrilled if I'm wrong, though!

 

[st1nk nuts]

Wow you guys are really going high with those predictions. I'm going with 62-65 opencritic.

 

[QuantumSquid]

79 MC

 

[ramparter]

Why some of you are so sure about this?

I'm sure there will be reviews like "this isn't open world, there's no cinematic gameplay, where's the minimap, this feels like N64, gameplay is nothing without a deep story, could have used more guns etc"

 

[Waluigilicious]

My general rule of multiplying by 1.25 when I know reviewers won't really appreciate the game and it would be capped at 8 will apply for this game, me thinks!

 

[Phediuk]

Wow you guys are really going high with those predictions. I'm going with 62-65 opencritic.

That's only slightly above Mighty No. 9 level of shite though.

 

[dr guildo]

73 MC average is my bet.

65

 

[Rarius]

Please please please only one level that's big and bland. I couldn't take it if every world was as boring as that Casino level.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Wow you guys are really going high with those predictions. I'm going with 62-65 opencritic.

So you think the game will be another Mighty Number 9 situation?

From the demo I played, I'm not really sure that's possible.

 

[Jonneh3003]

My general rule of multiplying by 1.25 when I know reviewers won't really appreciate the game and it would be capped at 8 will apply for this game, me thinks!

That's a nice rule. I agree, I fully expect reviewers not to understand this game.

 

[YuriLowell]

71 MC.

 

[JaffeLion]

let's see if Jim is right. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1356340&page=1)

 

[paragonpro]

Shouldnt we wait til there are you know...reviews to do a review thread? This seems like a review hype thread. Also guys for the love of christ before we all start flinging shit and whomever dares to give it a low score lets remember that they have played it and most of us have not.
