PlayStation 2023 OpenCritic Prediction League - Year End Results!

[UnderwaterFunktown]

Come in, come in and welcome to the PlayStation 2023 OpenCritic Prediction League! Last year's thread didn't get very far unfortunately, but I will be carrying on the tradition this year and have brought over last year's predictions for Forspoken to start with. To those who know the concept the rules should remain very familiar with just some minor changes to the scoring system.

The Rules:

1. Predict as many or as few games as you like. Those who make predictions on all games will have an advantage in the overall leaderboard, but I will also list average points and number of closest predictions.
2. OpenCritic scores will be updated until the end of the year. If a score changes after I've tallied the points for a game feel free to let me know.
3. You can change or post a prediction up until a week before the game releases.

Scoring:

Prediction same as actual score	10 points
1-point difference	9 points
2-point difference	8 points
3-point difference	7 points
4-point difference	6 points
5-point difference	5 points
6-point difference	4 points
7-point difference	3 points
8-point difference	2 points
9-point difference	1 point
10-point difference or more	0 points
Closest prediction bonus	+2 points

I’ve changed the scoring system ever so slightly to make it easier to calculate and also added a 2 point bonus to the guess/guesses that are closest to the actual score as an extra reward (and to avoid situations where no or almost no points are awarded if everyone is far off).

The Games:

A fairly modest list of titles so far (though two of them are quite big ones), but I will make sure to add any more console exclusives as they are announced and do let me know if I have missed something.

And now... the games!
