Hi everyone, this will be my first thread on VGChartz. I don't know if this has been done before here, but I thought it would be fun to predict the average Metacritic scores for upcoming games. If you want to participate just post the games and your prediction as a score out of 100. Predictions must be made before the games are released and before the first reviews appear on Metacritic. I decided to score points to make this more competitive, and also included negative points. Also feel free to tell why you think the games will get said scores if you make predictions.

Scoring: (For multiplatform games the average of the Metacritic scores will be taken) Update 11th of April: Starting with May, for multiplatform games, a proportional weighted average accoring to the number of reviews, will be used to get the metacritic score here. For more info check the first post on page 8 on this thread, where I explain how the new scoring method works.

• Predicting exact Metacritic score = +5 points
• Off by 1 = +4 points
• Off by 2 = +3 points
• Off by 3 = +2 points
• Off by 4 = +1 points
• Off by 5 = +0 points
• Off by 6 = -1 points
• Off by 7 = -2 points
• Off by 8 = -3 points
• Off by 9 = -4 points
• Off by 10 or more = -5 points

I did this same competition on another forum and already did this for February, and started on March however due to very few participants I wanted to try this here as well (Would have done this earlier but had to collect my 50 posts).

Post your metacritic predictions for games of April. Post predictions for at least 3 games (3, 4, 5 or more) from games below. You can also add any other game releasing in the month as long as it's not a remaster, rerelease, port, and doesn't already have a metascore/reviews, I'll add it to the predictions.

Games of March (Predict Metacrtic score for AT LEAST 3 titles, so 3, 4, 5, etc. is fine)

• Tom Clancy's The Division
• Hitman: - Episode 1 - Intro
• EA Sports UFC 2
• Pokkén Tournament
• TrackMania Turbo
• (Any other title you want to predict that's releasing in March, and doesn't have reviews up yet and is not a port/rerelease/remaster)

Games of April (Predict Metacrtic score for AT LEAST 3 titles for April, so 3, 4, 5, etc. is fine)

• Quantum Break
• Ratchet & Clank
• Dark Souls III
• Star Fox Zero
• King's Quest Chapter 3
• (Any other title you want to predict that's releasing in April, and doesn't have reviews up yet and is not a port/rerelease/remaster)

Predictions for March (Last updated 3rd of April):

Predictions for April (Last updated 18th of April):

Predictions for May (Last updated 18th of April):

Predictions for June (will update and the games start of May, for now only the delayed game from May is here)

Leaderboard for March (Last updated 3rd of April)

Leaderboard for April (Last updated 11th of April) (PS. I did not include people who have made less than 3 predictions for April) (PPS. I'll update this once the reviews for SFZ and KQC3 settle, as I am doing this by hand and it is a lot of work)

No one else is participating/predicting. I'm new to the forums and now I feel very lonely here. :(

Feel free to suggest improvements modifications to this thread if something doesn't seem right.

Tom Clancy's The Division: 84
Hitman: - Episode 1 - Intro: 76
EA Sports UFC 2: 82

Feel free to still predict The Division as it still doesn't have a metacritic score, and there's almost no reviews out there yet.

I'll add one game for the WiiU, Pokkén Tournament if you don't mind ;)

So, based on what I've seen, and how reviewers normally rate games:

The Division: 82
Pokkén Tournament: 78

Added it. :)

Would you mind predicting one more game though?

No problem, though I don't know too much about it xDDD.

Hitman: Episode 1 ---> 76

Ok, I seriously suck at this, but what the hell. =D

The Division: 81
Hitman: - Episode 1 - Intro: 65
EA Sports UFC 2: 77
Pokkén Tournament: 86
TrackMania Turbo: 84

And just in time for Hitman: Intro Pack reviews, as the embargo ended 55 minutes ago and the metascore is at 76/77 now. There are only a few reviews up at the moment and it is yet to change, I have to say that these seem to have been some incredibly accurate predictions here.

Also Ea Sports UFC 2 reviews are coming up today and that is currently at 75 for the Xbox One version.

I will, however, wait until more reviews come in before updating the scores and perhaps making a leaderboards table.
