Let's not turn this into a review score thread where people just start spewing random 2 digit numbers with no context.
I know we're hyped and waiting, but please...

92 over 116 publications with 96% recommendation is about as solid as one can get. Given the work on TW3 - especially following Blood & Wine/Thronebreaker - the critical expectations are pretty high and mid-80's to 90 could easily be seen as something of a disappointment.
Well yeah, but it's a relevant sample size, and it's a sample size I can give easily.
Cyberpunk will toast RDR2 imo , numerous factors not least all the next generation consoles sold and the first big release since
Embargoes close to release don't really mean much anymore. It's become more and more common and isn't an indication of quality.
There are only 17 games with a metacritic of 17... So, yes.

My expectations are mid to high 80s. I feel like a game like this might be rough around the edges and that appeal, when it comes to reviewers, will be lower. I don't think it says much of the quality of the game on a personal level, some of my favorite games are in the 60s and 70s, but more what I expect from reviewers.
The PC version of Witcher 3 has 93.. and from 17 670 players it has 94 rating there - I know, it's MC so that isn't saying much and user score isnt't the one that interest them, but it's there..
The reason the PC version generally isn't used is because it has less reviews. 32 PC reviews for 79 PS4. Usually, as something gets more and more reviews, the score drops.
Can't wait for another AAA review thread where people argue over whether the game will end up at 94 or 93.

Pretty much. The scores mean jack shit (but I'm sure it'll score really well) and more importantly, people will love the game and it'll sell an absolute shit ton of copies.
LMAO, imagine being the person who put the poster up ^_^Umm?

Same here.
It won't be universally praised though.
One with the correct release date and one with the old release date😅
All for tempering expectations but do people really think this looks like a sub 90 game on Metacritic?
Looks like the dream game for a lot of people myself included, open world Deus Ex with utterly fantastic world building and design. I suspect this will be many peoples favourite game of all time if it meets previous gameplay trailers standards.

Reddit is not to be trusted, but it is indeed Melbourne. The sign on the left is Jolimont - MCG (MCG being the Melbourne Cricket Ground), and it's an Australian classification logo.
It's platform number 1 at Jolimont train station in Melbourne.

88-91 was the given range and and I'm looking at internal reception to the scores, not fans.
After all of the delays and money spent, all of the marketing and influencer push, to not score 90 would not be seen in a good light and barely scraping it wouldn't be a monumental achievement either.
I work in corporate where the passion and all of that shit is on the side.
Of course sales and profit trump all in the end. But the game wasn't pushed further and further back, with more and more bodies sacrificed to the grinder, to score no fucking 88 or 89.
I'd suggest they dial the fidelity right down to whatever achieves a mostly steady 30fps, no matter how low that number is (for the base machines).
Resolution isn't much use when chugging at all IMO.
I think the goal is always to score over 90 which is usually very rare, especially in the last few years.
Getting over 93 - 94 is very hard, especially if we look at heavy story based game. I think only RDR 2 has been able to achieve that.
TLOU PT 2 was 96 but then more sites got the game and the MC dropped a bit because the story and the tone didn't reasonate with everyone.
I think it's pretty apparent that the game is going to have some technical issues, perhaps significant ones - but I can still see it brute forcing a high score on the shoulders of its world and immersion
The more clips I see the more it seems evident that gamers haven't seen something quite like this before

Yeah. Of all the stuff they could have used in promoting it.........
Sao Paulo here to remind you that even in the distant future, you can still be just the most boring dude.
I mean it's obviously still WIP, I'm pretty sure detail will be added and it'll look better in the end. Or at least I hope so.
The other building will probably have Female V or something.
The cover guy would definitely have put me off if i didn't know anything about this game.
They're taking the "put an anonymous white guy in there to avoid offendit anyone" approach.
The GTA ads are 10x better and actually give you a better idea of the type of game you're getting.

Oh, I agree. It should take as much of a resolution/graphical hit as possible for the base consoles to make sure they run as well as they can.
Even when I don't love GTA, their key art & box art is stellar. (Weirdly, a lot of what they put out for RDR isn't!)
Yeah, I think tone and gunplay are areas where Cyberpunk could end up being very divisive. There's "more witcher" than the ads would have us think, but it still sounds like the game can steer into some very crass/edge lord feeling territory that could put some people off.
