Just saw an early review on YouTube but the guy removed it just now, I guess he realized it wasn't time yet.

It doesn't have a score, he just says the game is beautiful and that it starts really slow. Its mostly walking in the first few hours but it keeps opening up with new gear and other stuff.

He says the gameplay won't be for everyone but that people should try it for good or bad because it's unique and has some really well made things. Its kind of a no spoiler review. There was also a very cool scene with troy Baker during night.

I suppose it's really for Kojima Productions but since you contributed to the game (skip to 3:09) :

Did he call it a masterpiece though?

So somehow Geoff knows exactly what the end MC rating will be? I'm not understanding your position here. It's all guess work, it's all fun.

I don't know if Geoff knows or not, but I don't think him giving a prediction will be taken lightly, it will cause so much impact than many would even take it for granted few minutes before the reviews go on. So I don't know he will give any number tbh, to not stir things up that much.

someone with a lot of spare time and nothing to do should like, make a compilation of all the people who predicted a very low score and those who predicted very high.
I predicted a 91, and if I am wrong I will gladly eat crow. Kojima, take me home

I don't know. It ticks a few boxes to make it very likable, for example many of the popular characters and the great presentation, the trailer was also awesome. I just don't know if it's actually fun to play with this gameplay loop.
Going to be low 80s for me.

I can't remember the last high profile game that had a completely equal chance of going either way;

Masterpiece or masturbation.

People should try it is a bit hard if there is no demo. If you end up disliking it you wasted money.

Geoff should make an avatar bet for a 90+ average metacritic score.
