Ghostwire Tokyo not doing so hot at 75

ACG on YT said it’s kinda messy. It’s fine at platforming and being a walking sim but when the action starts it feels a bit wonky. I’m still gonna get it on a sale.

Still reviewed better than Stranger of Paradise. And I was so confident about that game lol.

It is the weirdest feeling wondering when the next sports game is coming

OP updated with scores for Ghostwire: Tokyo. It's currently sitting at 75 on Metacritic from 92 reviews.

Pokemon is down from 83 to 82 and Tunic is down from 87 to 85 so standings have shuffled around a little. @kommie is back in the lead.

@Heavyd814life - weird request, but I would like to officially drop Gran Turismo 7 from my alternate list.

Not replace it with anything, just remove it entirely. With the crap Sony is pulling with the game (8x more expensive DLC cars, reducing race rewards to make it harder to grind, much of the single player content requiring you be online), I just want nothing to do with it anymore.

Removing it won't have a potential positive effect on my score - it's my second alt, so Forza would have been used first if a game on my main list didn't come out. All removing it would do is make it so I get a zero instead of 87 if a second game didn't release.

@benstylus I understand your disgust with the game but...what's the point of that, exactly? You aren't giving any money to the developers by having it on your list. You shouldn't just be able to remove games to your list once submitted, alternate or not.

I agree if there was a chance that removing the game would increase my score, but since the only effect this could have on my score is negative, I feel like it would be OK. But I will let Heavyd814life decide since this is their topic.

I was discussing GT7 with someone on Discord the other day. What a disappointment. I really hope they end up patching that crap!

@benstylus No need to complicate things. We’ll just keep things the way they are.

Wait till he learns there are people in the NFL who are of questionable reputation/women beaters/possible rapists. He'll probably complain about Madden 23 as well and I assume try to remove it? Can't see whatever he said.

There are people on gametz of questionable reputation. Doesn't mean I want gtz banned

If Ben doesn't want GT7 anymore, I'll take it.

@Scott, I’ll trade you Dying Light 2 for Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

speaking of Kirby...first reviews are starting to roll in. sitting at an 85 right now.

in hindsight, miffed that i took it off my list at the last moment, but in my defense it looked a heck of a lot worse before the February Direct

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands also reviewing well. At 81 atm. I’ll have the OP updated sometime this afternoon

Yeah, I remember watching footage and thinking that’s an easy pass. Didn’t watch the Feb direct so seeing it at 85 was quite surprising. Kudos to the folks who picked it.

I simply picked it cause most first-party Nintendo scores well.

I didn't know about the Kirby game til I was in GameStop last week. They were hyped about it. I ended up pre-ordering it because I liked Kirby on NES.

Surprised about Tiny Tina... I mean I didn't do a lot of research other than what I read it was supposed to be about and when I saw a video of it I was a bit iffy on my choice.

I thought Kirby looked pretty good already just from the first trailer, then it got even better in the Feb Direct.

I thought I had Kirby on my list but didn’t even have it as an alternate.

OP updated with scores for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. They are sitting at 85 and 80 respectively on Metacritic.

@benstylus EA Sports PGA Tour delayed to 2023

https://www.pcgamer.com/eas-new-pga-tour-game-is-d...

LOL, he'll have to use GT7 now!

If EA were a post, I would neg them

No idea if anyone actually picked it, but Suicide Squad pushed to next year.

5 people have it as a main pick, and 1 as an alternate.

Breaking of the Weapons 2 delayed to Spring 2023

I was feeling pretty confident that I would have a full 10 games from my list release this year...now I'm not so sure.

I don't think anyone is shocked by this. They haven't shown anything new in months

Man I somehow claimed to spot 4 in time to hear the announcement. I'm not shocked, but I am disappointed. I was really hoping both sequels to Horizon and Zelda were this year!

Well, crap.

Mixed feelings. A bit disappointed as a Zelda fan, but very happy for my list. I may actually stand a chance now if PlatinumGames can get it together and just give us a date for Bayo 3 already.

So as long as nothing else on my list gets delayed, I'm still good. Because I have a feeling the Potter game is going to score very high. Good swap!

Good thing that Sony Santa Monica just re-confirmed that the new God of War is coming out this year: https://twitter.com/BlueOwlzMedic/status/150710245.... I'm already at two games from my list for sure delayed until next year (Suicide Squad and BOTW 2).

I just need either Bayonetta or Silksong and I should be ok.

I doubt it.

Kommie wrote:

Of course you do.

Scott wrote:

I certainly hope Silksong is released, Hollow Knight was amazing but let's be realistic here....

Wasn't it originally supposed to release last year?
