Hmm based on my play time and the impressions in the media thus far and what we know in terms of quantity of content, I'm thinking mid 70s to low 80s, 83 as the ceiling. It will all come down to how polished the final package is as a whole. Splatoon was in a similar position but the polish of what was there helped keep its score up. Pokken was also in a similar spot but some of its lack of refinement and odd foibles held it back.



I predict most reviewers will be too scared to properly rate it, so it'll get a 90+.

Hype culture will contribute as well.  Heaven forbid a Nintendo game/game with weeb-service scores too low.  Prepare your inboxes, reviewers.

OT: Predicted in RavenXtra's awesome thread and sticking with it - 78

Arms has more polish than Splatoon (and Splatoon 2) though, as it runs at a rock solid 60 fps and has local and online splitscreen multiplayer (that doesn't suck). The game also has beautiful visuals rendered in full 1080p (Tekken 7 on PS4 even runs slightly below 900p). The music is very catchy as well. Also, all previews have been very positive, so I don't understand why you predict mediocre reviews based on that. That said, previews are a poor indicator for review scores, as they rarely are negative for some reason.

Arms also has plenty of modes for a fighting game:

- 1 vs. 1

- 2 vs. 2

- 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 (this one isn't very good IMO)

- 1 vs. 100

- 3 vs. Hedlok

- Hoops

- Vball

- Skillshot

Matchmaking is also extremely fast and online is lag-free (extremely rare for a fighting game, just look at Super Smash Bros. 4's subpar online).

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because the game is actually... good.

I predict Jim Sterling will give it a score at least 20 points below the metacritic score, simply because it is a hyped game out of Japan. Just like he did with TLG and BotW.

Ikr, but let them live with their excuses I guess, just because they can't accept facts such as Nintendo actually makes good games, and that apparently even if the game wasn't good it'll still get a 90 on metacrtic because Nintendo made it.

Funny because I didn't see this Nintendo game getting the review scores these guys apparently say it would get because Nintendo made it; http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/animal-crossing-amiibo-festival

Go figure.
