Welcome to the VGChartz Metascore Prediction League 2015!

Voting has now ended. Predictions are below and will be updated periodically.

Points:

For predicting the score of a game precisely you will score 3 points, if you're 1 mark out you will score 2 points, if you're 2 marks out you will score 1 point.

Bonus points (1) are awarded for being the sole correct predictor of a game (whithin ±2 of the actual metascore), or the closest predictor in the event nobody predicts within the ±2 mark range. Penalty points (-1) are also given to predictions which are furthest from the actual score.

The SKU with the highest score will be used unless the amount of reviews is unreasonably low in which case the SKU with the highest amount of reviews will be the score used.

I'm neither the highest nor lowest prediction on any game. Staying away from the extremes is a good sign to start with I suppose.

Isn't MGSV embargo date the 23rd? So we could get that soon and then Gears right after.

Yup you're right although I think it's the 24th.

Highest predicted exclusive is Persona 5? Looks like people know what's up. :D

Game will still get a 98 metascore though.

SKU with the highest amount of reviews will be the score used as voted by you, unless there is a huge disparity between SKUs.

That doesn't sound right. Your prediction thread said. "As for multiplatform titles, rate the version you think will be the highest rated"

I think you should stick to that, as those were the instructions.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=206183&page=1#

Hmm yeah I'll use the highest rated version rule unless the amount of reviews is unreasonably low. Because if one version has only 5 reviews versus 50 for another version I'll go with the one with 50 reviews even if it's lower. But if it's like 30 vs 50 I'll go with the highest.
