Well seeing as there has been very little hype... it can't possibly be overhyped. Indeed many people on here keep saying it looks boring and shit. I'm guessing it will score better than many recent games though. |
You are correct, to me it seems that the game has very little hype or publicity. At least not as much as I would have expected from an exclusive game. Then again, I don't follow XBox games news that closely, but my feeling is that - outside of the dedicated forum users - the game has very little exposure to the general audience.
To me it doesn't look boring, it is just very annoying. After that E3 trailer I decided to avoid much further exposure, it was a 3 minute trailer in which the main character wouldn't shut up. It's like they try to make it "cool", but more like 12-yo short-attention-span cool. I just think I would go insane playing through the entire game, unless it was on mute.
Had someone asked me for a score then, I would have said mid-80s, but after seeing many good games barely make it into the metacritic green, I'd say this game will be there as well, and Ithink it will have a very wide range of scores, from 95 all the way down to 55-60.
Also, tried to google a bit, some places mention that there is an embargo - Monday, 27th, but I couldn't find any concrete confirmation of it...
