I honestly don't expect to see too many more review like this one. But I think reviews might be better than we were expecting. I was expecting a mid 70's score for this game when the dust settled...but it might be high 7s or maybe even crack 80.

But didn't we already agree that the review system itself is broken and that we don't care as we can make up our minds in different ways? Or do they rehabilitate themselves by giving this game high scores (although scores are of course broken, too, nowadays)?

Yes, to the first part and no to the second. I only pay attention to reviews as a consumer if I'm thinking of buying a game that came out a while ago and then I don't look at scores but read a few reviews to get a general idea of what it's like. Normally, if I'm interested enough in a game to want it on launch, than I'm willing to bet the $60 it's going to be good. Whic has worked out pretty well thus far as I can't think of a time when I didn't enjoy a game I bought at launch.

But as a novelty it should be interesting to see where this game lands, especially with all of the hubub leading up to it's launch.
