Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bold Prediction: SMO will get a 99 on Metacritic! [Update currently a 97!] I Took the "L"

Nah. Something is off about it. Low 90s if I had to guess.



Around the Network

Never doubt tbone51's predictions but this time i doubt it.



95-98 because there are strange people with strange names on youtube. This strange people with sunblocker faces and ugly glasses from the 90s can rate games in a way that the metascore is droping from a 98 to a 97.



I'd be surprised if it even got a 98 tbh



I'm going with a solid 96. I think it'll still be a long while until we get another 99 metascore game. BotW came close with a 98, but even that dropped to 97 afterwards.

When you actually say im wrong then its usual means its right though. So thank you :)

How do you feel today? Are you relatively calm and collected or are you trending towards madness because of the E3 aftermath?

Essentially, should I drop the mods a message that they shall ban you for a day in order to prevent something worse?

Tbh i didnt want to post this thread yet. When first reveal i can tell this is a game people wanted and already looked to surpass sm3dw (got a 93?) Easily.

 

With today trailer that game looked like a wet dream. Well it still could be the "E3" effect ill give you thar but that trailer was insane for a mario game. It looked like a goty contender without the new takeover ability. That ability alone will be reason enougb for perfect scores to be at every reviewers door lol with 1 or 2 70/75 scores!



I say 96 is the highest. Jim will come out five weeks later and pick apart the game, because that is what he does. It wasn't like Musuo game for him.



 

DAMN YOU, JIM STERLING!!!



it honestly looks stellar in terms of gameplay and visuals. The Treehouse presentation in the woods kingdom looks insanely good. The desert area playable at E3 looks killer too. I would be shocked if it didn't get a 90-something on Meta

I sort of agree, I think it looks like it'll be fun as hell and very pleasant to look at, but I have a weird feeling that there will be certain Mario fan critics who personally don't appreciate the hat mechanics. I think they look fun, but all it takes is people who love the old mechanics and don't appreciate the changes to keep it lower.

all that matters in my eyes is that it's like a 90+, will mean it's a classic and the new mechanics have translated well.

The E3 trailer has sort of built hype out of control though, and the Treehouse gameplay, it looks unbelievably good. I mean compared with Mario 3D Land or Mario 3D World? jesus, light years better. way more interesting and creative
