Keza is reviewing it on IGN, so maybe not a 10 from IGN after all? After that preview they posted, with whoever made it, having hypegasms all over it, I thought it's a sure bet.

Maybe, but I still believe it's a dead cert for a 9.8 to a 10. We'll know in 2 hours I guess!

Hopefully!

...

But...I'm expecting a couple "troll" reviews. Quarter To Three, Polygon and GameTrailers is where I'm looking. 

 

15 minutes to go!

I don't think so and even with that: The amount of 10's will be enough to keep it at 96-97. Still guessing on 98 though.

True. The Last of Us and Bioshock had a couple reviews like that and it did very little to the Metascore.

Anyway, looks like a 10 from Eurogamer:

So now that we're minutes away from the Embargo lifting...here's the final poll results:

Predict Metascore!
<85 11 3.27%
 
86-89 4 1.19%
 
90-92 15 4.46%
 
93 8 2.38%
 
94 16 4.76%
 
95 43 12.80%
 
96 33 9.82%
 
97+ 121 36.01%
 
Who cares? It's GTA LOLZ! 56 16.67%
 
See results 29 8.63%
 
Total:

336

 

So basically, we're expecting a 97 or higher. Not overly surprising, but is it possible?
