Boutros, doesn't Noble get a bonus point for Mad Max because he's the only that predicted 70? Or does that happen latter or am I misinterpreting how the bonus points are awarded?

I'll go with an example. In 2013 the lowest prediction for Killzone: Shadow Fall was 82 but the game ended up with 73 on Metacritic. That means whoever predicted 82 got a bonus point because he was the closest to the actual metascore. So bonus points are awarded to whoever is the closest when everyone overpredict/underpredict. It happened a lot in 2013 (11 bonus points were awarded).

Forza 6 so far has an 89 with 23 reviews so far. Hopefully it can stay there so I get the 3 points.

Gears dropped back to 82 with 64 reviews and MGS V is now at 94 with 40 reviews.

Until Dawn up to 80 with 84 reviews

Finally. I was wondering when it would happen. It's been +80% on Game Rankings for a while.

Does anyone else find it surprising that out of the games that got their reviews on the 25th Until Dawn is the one with by far the most reviews on Metacritic? One would assume that MGS V would be holding that honor and that even Gears would have more reviews than Until Dawn.

It's shorter than the other two titles so quicker to review and Sony exclusives this gen tend to get more reviews than most other games from what I can see on Metacritic.
