I think you got this backwards, they will mark it down because it DOESN'T have genders, races ...etc plus not being Nintendo game

Idiotic thinking. Dustborn and Concord had "genders" and "races" and terrible meta critic scores.

 

[GymWolf]

70-95 is my final prediction.

 

[GigaBowser]

Dunno if this has been posted. Long 40 mins session gives a good idea about the game.

Looks a bit basic in platforming and enemy attacks etc. maybe its better to play?





Astro Bot is charming?

Maybe you find vacuum cleaner in your home charming as well?

thirs looks waaaaaay worse then traler buuuuut over 90 I am known for my predictions

 

[AV]

GOTY incoming lads.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

80-84

It's just a glorified tech-demo, so would be surprising if it would end up higher then that.

 

[PeteBull]

70-95 is my final prediction.

Im biased af but i think worst astro could get is 85, altho voted for 90+ coz hoping talent will win

 

[kazuyamishima]

Do you realy think an avarage gamer (or kids) look at Metacritic/Review scores? If its appealing, fun and has good marketing it doesnt matter if its high 80s or 90s.

Kids and dads won't care, but there are a significant amount of people that are high scores sensible and will buy it on impulse.

But the most important thing with any game is the WoM.

 

[Salmon Snake]

88

 

[Certinty]

I think 90+ is definitely happening, hoping for 95+ though, I think this could be GOTG so far if done right.

No idea why you were laughing, but it literally is a glorified tech-demo.
It seems to be more of the same, which is good enough for what it is. But it doesn't seem to be something earthshattering.

I don't care for the game but i can see it scoring pretty high even without the nintendo mark on the cover

What the actual fuck, man.

Not even the most deranged among Pikmins (radical nintenfans) would come up with this.

 

[Little Mac]

I'll be shocked if this scores lower than 85. I'm predicting low 90s. One more day!

It's just a platformer, what do you expect from it to not call it a more of the same tech-demo? 50 different endings and dialogues that change the story?

 

[StueyDuck]

there are two types of people, those who actually played astrobot robot rescue mission, and those who haven't.

very easy to spot who is who in this thread.

i went with 90+ because i know that's what it'll deserve but modern game journos are proper turkeys. They'll glob on to some dumb thing, they might even try get revenge for concord failing and sony pulling it. Unfortunately you just can't just gaming media.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

It's almost exactly like Astro's Playroom, just more of it.

It's weird though. One moment I'm a PS shill, the next I'm not allowed to not be as positive as lots of Gaffers?

Why do you take it as a negative?

In what universe is glorified tech-demo. and more of the same something positive?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

If the experience is good, is more of it a bad thing, even if it doesn't drastically improve on it?

 

[GigaBowser]

6 millions sales 92 metacritis

 

[Zathalus]

70-95 is my final prediction.

Thinking about this a bit more, I've finalized my prediction score. I simply cannot see this scoring anything other than something in the 0-100 range.

Just my opinion of course.

 

[Ozriel]

85 - 89% is my prediction. More likely to be around 89% if I had to pick a single score.

 

[Senua]

80-84

You consistently have the worst opinions on everything ever, It's quite the skill. Commendable.

 

[Hookshot]

It's sack boy the most beloved Sony star dressed up as an iMac the computer that saved Apple, there's not a website on earth daft enough to upset both those rabid fanbases. It's getting 10's just so their staff can sleep safely at night.

 

[Dafegamer]

Apparently there's snippets of the gamereactor review(by accident) and seems to be a 10/10 review by Ben Lyons

 

[eerik9000]

95+%. How could anybody not like Astro Bot?

 

[Caio]

I say 92% on Meta/Open.
PS : 95-96% if it was a Nintendo Game. Yes, I have said that.

 

[blastprocessor]

I'm intrigued as to how that countdown clock is working in OP.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I don't see how anyone would want to harshly review this for any reason whatsoever. This is what videogame is supposed to be (and was) since its inception: unlimited fun, and only fun. This is why I am thinking +90.

EDIT: only 2h20mn or so before the scores!

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Just like when I said Sony was smart to release a €400 PS5 Digital that sits in between Series S and X and that MS would be better off by going 3rd party.

 

[GymWolf]

That's a big ass range.
I remain with my prediction, 75 or 95.

What's even wrong with a 80-84% score?

 

[hemo memo]

An easy 10 across the board. It's Astro.

Ok, could you elaborate what would make a platfromer a non-glorified demo?

We could say the same about Mario 64, then.

I was talking Astro specifically.

Playroom was a VR tech-demo.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission was a glorified VR tech-demo.

Astro's Playroom was a Dualsense/PS5 tech-demo.

Astro Bot seems to be a glorified tech-demo.

Nothing, I'm referring to your "glorified tech demo" comment.

You have 142 messages and your account is from 2020... You're averaging less than 35 posts a year... obviously you look like an alt account.

I think these are new users who have join dates of when they applied maybe and not when they were able to post.

I just hope this game sells gangbusters. I got my pre-order today and I haven't pre-ordered a game in a while.

Astro Bot Isn't A Celebration, It's A Graveyard

It's hard to feel excited by all these cameos when they represent long dead and abandoned series.

[hemo memo]

I'm going with 90-94. Hopefully will be a great game and critically well received.

Team Asobi is very creative. I tried to convince a friend to play the first one but his reasoning is "No, it's free so probably not good" which is a very weird reason since he plays Fortnite and Warzone. Which are also free.

[Schmendrick]

I´m expecting mid 80`s.
90+ in that genre is usually a Nintendo exclusive club.

 

[nowhat]

I can't recall a pack-in freebie as good as Astro's Playroom since... I guess Wii Sports. But didn't they drop that with some very end-of-the line Wii versions? So I'm not sure it counts.

There's no conspiracy, I mostly lurk these Forums to get my latest info of the gaming industry or news. I also post now and then. I also have a busy life, so take it as you will.

[VolticArchangel]

I'm going with 86-89, but want it to score 90+.

Team Asobi deserve their place among the premier Sony first party teams, and if Astro Bot becomes the official mascot for PlayStation, it cements their position.
