HFR - 83



Around the Network

My predictions:

Age of Empires 2: 72
Goldeneye: 70
Minecraft Legends: 75
Forza Motorsport: 88
Redfall: 84
Starfield: 91
Ara: 78
Age of Empires 4: 79
HFR: 83



Gotta say, I find some of these lower AoE 2 DE predictions quite odd. Some of you guys are rating it lower than AoE 4 even though AoE 2 DE on PC is an 84 meta while AoE 4 on PC is an 81 meta. Assuming the console UI they designed for both AoE 2 and AoE 4 is well designed, I would be shocked if either of them reviews lower than 3 or 4 points below their PC counterparts.

I was on the same chain of thought.  I'm currently the highest.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Yep. It's also worth noting that when AoE 2 DE released on PC originally, alot of the critics didn't like the balancing or the AI pathing which resulted in AoE 2 DE's average coming in 8 points lower than the original AoE 2, but both the balancing and AI pathing have since been improved in patches for AoE 2 DE if I'm not mistaken, which should result in the Xbox version scoring a few points higher than it would have if it released a few years ago at the same time as the PC version. It could even possibly review higher than the PC release from 3 years ago as a result of having all of those improvements to AI pathing and balancing from post-launch PC patches.

I had deducted a few points down to an 82 and then added a few more for the accomplishment of controller controls (if it ends up being a smooth experience).
