this is a very good score. however, this doesnt bold well for my prediction.

I know :( was planning to bump the thread if SO scored a bit better.


yeah, now we can only hope Halo MCC bombs (which it wont) so i can at least save face.

Wasn't going to link anymore xD I'll actually put this in the OP, we need a negative-ish one.

Surprised there hasn't been a crazy low review yet.

Just wait for Quater to Three, they recently gave Forza Horizon 2 a 1/5

Don't forget Horizon 2, the dream might already be dead. :( 

*crosses fingers* Maybe some glowing reviews will come and boost it :)

83 is really good for a new IP,

Now who owns the Sunset Overdrive name? Microsoft or Insomniac?

Insomniac iirc, will google now

"We pitched it a few different places, and it was really important to [Insomniac CEO] Ted [Price] that we own the IP, so some of the conversations broke down over that," Smith admitted. "With Microsoft, they just came in very energetic and excited to work with Insomniac, period. And we'd heard some really good things about them and some resources that they would be allowing us to have."

Insomniac's obsession with owning its own IP started with its co-op shooter Fuse, and comes from a long legacy of making famous franchises -- like Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance -- that it doesn’t own. "Most publisher conversations begin and end with IP ownership," Murray said candidly, "and I think [Microsoft] has been talking to Ted for a while, and at some point it was like, 'you can retain the IP,' and suddenly, it was a conversation point."

Cool, thanks for the info and I am glad to hear it.

I hope that with the booming PS4 sales the next entry in the series will come to the PS4.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

Wow that's surprisingly good scores! Nice to see a new IP getting so good reviews :D I hope the sales reflect that as well, so that we get a sequel. Looks like a fun game



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Well that wouldn't surprise me xD They also gave Halo 4 1/5

That review scale that Qto3 does is breaking metacritic, 1/5 should be for actually unplayable horrible games IMO

ooops I forgot the 360 version even existed xD Well I think it's fair then, still an uphill battle with MCC.

maybe i should go bribe IGN with some doritos to they can lower the score.

Idk man, chief is stronger than the doritos forces xD

My guess for MCC is 89, I'm starting to think that's too low. lol

Well good luck to your bold prediction.

BTW Sunset @ 82 now?
