    It's not too difficult to predict review scores with only five increments but I'm going to anyway:
     
    Four stars.
     
    Jeff seemed positive in the Quick Look but it's not a five star game. It's probably closer to three stars but that's not going to happen. Jeff would appear way too grumpy in the light of the events of the first game, and he probably likes the game too much to rate it only three stars.
     
    Do you agree with the prediction?

    Man will I be happy after this game comes out and people will just let it go. 
     
    I say 4 stars as well. Seems functional enough and the art style is cool.

    Four stars. Jeff clearly enjoys it though I imagine for him it won't give him the 5 star treatment as a TPS.

    It all depends on the story. If its great then four. If not then its three stars at best.

    I heard it's a short, one-time experience with limited replay value, and the multiplayer doesn't help much. 
    Three stars.

    From what I've seen it seems it looks pretty mediocre so I'm guessing three stars. But I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be better than I expected.

    What the fuck is wrong with reviews? They help you figure out whether you want a game or not. Without them, people would all just buy shit all the time purely because of the marketing.

    But we're talking about Giant Bomb reviews in this thread, not any of those people. It's not the place to start yelling about metacritic.

    thats one of the reasons i think depending on reviews isnt as good as people think. 
     
    Theres a difference between using a review to help you decide, and DEPENDING on the score to make that decision for you. 
     
    1. A review can be biased 
    2. The reviewers' tastes could be alot different than yours 
    3. We all have tons of games that we enjoy though they had low ratings 
    4. etc... 
     
    Reading a review as a helpful tip is fine, but the way we deal with reviews nowadays, depend on them and stalk Metacritic like it's Lady Gaga's myspace is just fucking frustrating !!

    Yep, but even in Giantbomb there are some scores, that look more due to the developer behind the game, or the previous games released, that reflecting the actual game on review. It's debatable, but i think it happens everywhere.

    There's no such thing as an objective review and even the there was, what would be the point? No one is going to play it from that point of view either.

    I'm thinking 4, but there's a possibility that there's something he finds he doesn't like about the game that didn't come across in the demo and he gives it a 3.

    I liked what i played of the demo, and the visual style is just too dam great. I would guess 4 stars unless the game gets to repetitive.

    It looks like a three or a four to me. Regardless, I'm going to pick it up. The shooting feels a bit loose but the demo intrigued me..

    A 4 out of 5 would be equal to an 8.0. I can't tell if you're trying to be serious or facetious.
     
    Personally I think that it'll get a 3 out of five. It looks like a perfectly functional third person cover based shooter that is going to live or die on it's unique visuals and story.

    4 stars would be around 8.5 to 9.0. There is not a linear connection between the two scales.

    Well, I just go by how Metacritic simply divides 100 by 5 and goes with that. Seems the most logical to me. To each his own though.

    No way it goes past 3/5 IMO especially if the rumors I've heard from uh...yeah, the people that are playing it early and you know what that means unfortunately...the game is damned short and the multiplayer is still less than perfectly polished to say the least.
