It seems that it would settle around 88/89. Great score, but below expectations considering all the hype. It will be a massive success regardless.
I'm not a fan of CD Projekt games myself, especially the gameplay / combat department. But the scope of this game seems to be unmatched, I'll probably get it on sales next year.

Slightly concerned about these reports of widespread bugs. Will there truly be a first day patch?

9's? Fire all those reviewers, a bugfest is a 1/10 in my books and always will be.

I mean, Fallout 4 was an 87... so that was to be expected.

If anything, it would have scored even higher if a few reviewers didn't have a gender issue bone to pick with it.

Yes and there will be more than one apparently. Not to mention the day 1 patch gonna be big

We will see how much of it actually gets fixed though.

Main page is slow to update, but if you check critic reviews it's at 91 on Meta after 38 reviews.

Lower than expected but still great. May be a struggle to stay above 90 though. Mostly disappointed Destructoid don't have a review out yet.

If most of the serious complaints are about bugs, it seems rather petty to dock it points considering the delays and crunch required just to get it to this point, with early patches/updates already planned and on the way. Given the work environment of this year, you'd think reviewers would have some consideration for that, at least. Seems almost opportunistic, as if giving themself a way to justify a low score for the biggest game of the year, and one of the most ambitious we've ever seen.

What about it is the most ambitious?

Btw FS2020 came out this year, certainly that's the most ambitious we've ever seen.

If anything it feels more like the game is getting a pass (like FS2020 got) since it will get better or they expect the day one patch to fix most issues.

43GB is not code lol, either a very inefficient update process or some widespread change to the assets. Changing the encryption / compression would cause a huge patch like that. Which would make sense, more efficient storage of the assets to streamline loading and reduce pop in.
