Had to cancel my pre-order.

Game costs 79.99 if I buy it brand new right now. I got it back when it was still listed as 39.99 (CAD, of course.) I was having a hard time convincing myself to buy it at $39.99, but Amazon's system messed up and won't let me update my payment (the old credit card's expiration date has passed and I didn't renew the card), so Amazon is trying to make me pay full price for a game I struggled to find the motivation to buy at half price.

So I went ahead and cancelled it. Will pick it up on PC...maybe...if it ever makes it to steam instead of being held hostage on the Microsoft store.

Furthermore, this was the last game that had me keep my Xbox One. Now there's literally nothing for me on that system. I'd sell it but I paid nearly 500 for it when I got it, I bet I'd get like 75 bucks out of it if I sold it. Well, Microsoft, it was a rocky few generations, but I'm seeing other console manufacturers. It's not me, it's you.

Perhaps Gamepass is an option if you want to try it. I will likely stay subscribed because I like that MS is throwing all their 1st party content on it.

I'm downloading it right now, only 9GB so I will be playing it soon.

I'm thinking like 75. Maybe the game will underwhelming, perhaps this isn't the type of game critics cares for. Frankly, I'm not even sure this game is for me, so I'm glad I can play it on Gamepass.

at the same time the PC version is at 9.9.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I’ve made my prediction in meta score league



 

I predict 76.



Seems a bit silly, it is like one of those games like Minecraft/PUBG/Fortnite which almost no one knows the metascore except for the fanboys who hate those games =p.

‘User Reviews’  Meaning people who don’t own the game can write anything.  It just translates to console wars because Xbox is an easy target.
