Well, who knows really? It's just my prediction. (which is based on pretty much nothing) Could be right, could be wrong, we'll see. I did check Forza Horizon's meta though, I just don't believe a racing game can score much more than 86 in this day and age.

Well Horizon 2 will score higher then that.  The first game had more then a few shortcomings the two main ones where that the map was kinda on the small side and the single player game was on the short side and it still ended up with a 85/100.  The map will be 3 times bigger in the second game and the single player campain will be more then three times longer 20+ hours versus 100+ hours only someone that never played the first game and isn't familiar with all the info about the second game would score it that low even the 360 version of the game will score higher then that and I don't expect it to be as good as the X1 version.

Sounds like a bet to me...

I know absolutely nothing about this genre (except minor details about Project CARS), so I'm just gonna take a guess.

Forza Horizon 2: 81

Driveclub: 85

Project CARS: 83

*What are those guesses based on? Well, it's very hard to please critics these days so I don't expect any of these titles to hit 90. Driveclub seems to have quite some hype going for it, so it's ranked the highest, whereas Forza 5 'only' got a Meta of 80, so I predict Horizon 2 to get 81. As for Project CARS, I can only guess, but I've seen some footage which looked pretty good and the game is also a popular topic of discussion.

LOL good joke post I guess your not familiar with the final metascore of the first Horizon game its 85/100 and we already know that the second game will be better then the first one in every possible way.

lol, as if that means that the score will be higher. All the better sequels with lower meta scores say hello

Project cars: 86

Driveclub: 81

FH2: 81

Please name me some sequels that are actually better in evey way that actually scored lower then the first game of that franchise.  And yes we already know that Horizon 2 will be better then the fist game in every possible way don't believe me then read all the articles about the game that IGN has published so far.

I predict 82 to 89 for all of them.

Forza Horizon 2: 75
Driveclub 68
Project Cars : 87

 I wouldn't take that as a guarantee for a higher score, there are tons of sequels out there that are technically better than their predecessors in every way and still score worse, reviewers aren't that straightforward with their scoring.

OT:

Driveclub: 98

Forza Horizon: 59

Project Cars: 69

... (joke, obviously)

Its a save bet if you actually played the first game and knew all the info about the second game so far.  The only thing that is not 100% safe is my high score prediction of the 360 version of the game because its a different developer that is in charge of that version.

Technically better and actually better is a completely different thing.  We already know that Horizon 2 is actually better then the first game and anyone that predicts a lower score then 85 is trolling and never played the first game and is totally unfamiliar with the facts that are already known about the second game.

Infamous Second Son (and Infamous 2!)

Darksiders 2

Dungeon siege 2

Diablo 2

Neverwinter nights 2

just off the top of my head. there are more

times change. many reviewers have already explained this and said why sometimes they score better sequels lower. games are a product of their time (and circumstances) and different times provide different feelings towards them


And no, I won't read anything from IGN, thank you very much.

Oh well, if you think so. I personally don't see it climb higher than 81-82 (which is a good metascore btw.)

Infamous Second Son is definetly not better then the first game is every possible they couldn't even keep the same voice actor for the main character plus the fact that you could yield a weapon made the game a lot easier and less fun not sure about the other games you metioned but I doubt they are better then their first game in every possible way like Horizon 2 will be over the first game.
