Nah, mid 80s is unlikely, at this point. I can see it climbing back up to 80, but 10 points (or so)? Nah. I can say, I didn't see this coming!

So reviews say it feels more like a film than a game, is average as a shooter and has a bad ending even when the story is by far the most important element of the game...

Looks like another "next gen" masterpiece...

I still want to try it and it looks like the story and overall style of the game could be interesting, but my expectations were really low and this confirms why.

You forgot the platforming... its like a 3rd person shooter with platforming elements.

Very surprised by this one. I predicted mid to high 80s due to the live action show, but this is pretty low by comparison.

People are trying different things at least. We always see clamour for new things but simulatenously we demand a product that is a result of iterative product design. If you were to start Assassin's Creed today it needs to be black flag or a more polished unity, anything before would be deemed too rudimental.

Not saying the score is unfair per se -- I haven't played it, but more indicative of a general trend. Another reason why development costs are rising, mid sized studios are dying and non-indie/download games are dwindling.
