I'm not really a fan of a review site throwing a celebration for the game before they review it. It puts pyschological pressure to give a game a higher score. I'm not sure what the solution is as videogame sites need money. Hype initially inflates or deflates my scores before you have time to digest it and think more rationally which is why you get GTAIV at a 98 imo.

Indeed. GTA IV is THE case of score overinflation. It's a good game, but I'd say 88 is more accurate. 

I wonder if we will get the same with this title. I imagine we will, but to a lesser extent (as people will be focusing on "next gen", so this may get a lower score despite it most likely being the better game).
