Alright big update as I've tallied the points of three games (Assassin's Creed Mirage, Sonic Superstars and Modern Warfare III) as well correcting the Mortal Kombat tally where the score had changed and I had forgotten to add the points to the total (whoops). All three of the new titles ended up lower than anybody had predicted, so it seems pessimism paid off this time. Mirage ended up at 76, Sonic Superstars at 74 and Modern Warfare III at 58 (could still change but it's safe to say it will be more than 10 points below the lowest prediction placed, ouch).
With all of these points tallied up we actually have a tie between @BonfiresDown and @NobleTeam360 both at 80 points, which means that the last game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will end up being the tiebreaker (safe to say at this point Hollow Knight isn't making 2023). Interesting to see how that plays out.
