* 17-Oct-2022(#12)I think I'm locked in now since my last 2 games are likely not releasing this year. Thank goodness for the backups.
Also, Plague Tale is supposedly targeting 60 fps but does dip on occasion so it's not a locked 60. Lots of rumors about 30 but they seem not completely true. Maybe wait for the release and see confirmation.

You and I both. Review copies are already out for it so it's happening for sure now.

Lots of rats. Would certainly look better in 60 vs choppy 30.

18-Oct-2022(#17)You know what? It didn’t bother me in the first one, but, then, I just saw this:
https://www.thegamer.com/a-plague-tale-requiem-300...Apparently, the first game had 5,000, but the new one has 300,000 (!!!).
Fair point then.

19-Oct-2022(#20)At this point, all yearly sports/CoD games, the reviews should just be copy/paste of the last year's game with only the number changed.

Thanks for the reminder! Just updated the OP. Still at 70 from 46 reviews. This one wasn't on my radar at all for our fantasy league. Looking forward to actually playing it because I'm a big DC guy and I love Batgirl, but it's WB Montreal so it's the B team. I wasn't expecting anything on par with Rocksteady quality-wise.

Damn, I had no idea they changed Bayonetta's voice actress. That's going to be so jarring.
EDIT: Just looked it up and I see they cast Jennifer Hale as the new Bayonetta...best in the biz so I'm happy. Still going to be kinda jarring, though.

I can't believe you missed this. If you follow any video game news at all, it's been the #1 story for weeks. Helena Taylor lied about what they offered her and tried to get people to protest the game. The real story came out, and then changed her story and admitted they offered her a lot more but it still wasn't enough. The fact that I even know this psycho's name at this point just goes to show how big of a story it's been. I honestly couldn't tell you one other video game voice actor other than Charles Martinet.
Cevil
(abandoned)25-Oct-2022(#31)Yeah. Glad to hear it's a solid score too despite the drama. Good to hear. I was definitly skeptical with all the silence and long development time.

Holy crap! I had no idea. I don’t keep up with gaming news like I used to. I go on Gematsu a couple of times a day and that’s pretty much it. But wow, that’s pretty wild!

25-Oct-2022(#33)I think one thing I learned is to do Switch games as the scores seem slightly higher overall. Too much fanboy nonsense in XSX and PS5 games.

Looks like I’ll have a pretty good score. God of War: Ragnarok should review really well.

It's pretty wild. Advance Wars was literally the safest pick this year. You would have had this in the bag if it came out. At this point I have no idea when Nintendo will release it.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/warhammer-40000...I think we are just waiting on Sports Story to get dated. It's supposed to hit this month. Once we have scores for that, I can do a final tally and add alternate picks to each person's overall score.
