I originally had doubts about this hitting 10 to 15 Million units, but with how well it's reviewed and the change in formula it just might make it into that upper echelon of titles.

Yesss, you’ve joined us in the light.

If Edge give it a ten it could push it to 96. There review isn't out until the 26th so that's 12 days. We could have up to 20 reviews between now and then so it might get even closer to 96 before their review or might drop back to 94.

I predicted a 95 over on vizioneck.com so I'm super chuffed with it at 95 but if it goes up I'll happily take the L. Anyway here's my prediction. The middle number was meant to be your main prediction. The other 2 secondary.

What if Zelda had an amazing, cinematic story?

What if Last of Us had incredible, skill based combat?

What if Uncharted somehow put all the violence in context?

What if Dark Souls was approachable and clear?

The answer to all of these questions and more is God of War.

in short if God of war was a nintendo IP, metacritic would have been 100.

PM sent ~ CGI

Let's add the fact that even with all those questions answered, it has the visuals of HZD to boot! Maybe even surpassing the visuals of HZD (from what I have seen it looks like it may be the case.)

I'd never imagine I'd be calling a God of War game one of the greatest games ever made, but it seems like I may be doing just that soon. And to think, I was gonna hold out on this one even though I love the GOW franchise. Looks like it just went to a DAY ONE buy for me after that 95 score. Everything I have read so far just seems like it is a gaming experience for the ages. CAN'T WAIT to experience the story!

My biggest question now is will Spider-Man be able to match a 95 Metacritic rating.

Seriously, guys, I am on the verge of buying a PS4 Pro just so I can play this game (and all of the other exceptional games on the PS4)

The beard was actually one of my complains about the first trailer.

Now it looks great.

If they shaved Kratos it would be 10/10

EDGE is actually the biggest issue this game could have review-wise, as quite frequently they have straight up bad taste xP

Agreed. I consider Edge to be a shit-rag. One of the most consistently awful gaming sites/publications in the history of the gaming press.
