Sticking with the same prediction iv always had
Mid 80s, even if the campaign is really good and the multiplayer being one of the best ever, its not cracking 90, its hard for most shooters nowadays and expectations for Halo are just OTT
Why look at the timing as a negative when we already have a ton of favorable previews?
Itâs crazy that MS has Halo, DOOM, Quake and WolfensteinâŚtalk about the cream of the crop and the all time classics at the same time. So good! 
Your excitement will be enough. 
Stuff kept in the dark eh? I likey! I like surprises.
Finally got a chance to listen to this and I have to say, what a group of likeable guys. Weâre pretty lucky to have people like Phil and Joe, who just seem like genuine, good dudes, who happen to be damn good at what they do

If itâs anything more than 88, MS will have had top three rated games of the year (excluding Deathloop).
Forza Horizon 5: 92
Halo Infinite: 88-91
Psychonauts 2: 89

I wonder if the reviews for the multiplayer are going to get added to the singleplayer ones.
Yeah I think thats gonna be case by case. Some have confirmed to be doing separate reviews (like IGN and very own XboxERa), not sure about others. Itâll be weird.

Yeah I left the live stream liking Joe Staten even more than I did going into it.
I hope after Infinite that he has a big role, either with 343 or somewhere else in Xbox

Did staten leave when Bungie did for Destiny?
Did he ever talk about why he left Halo?
He left a year before Destiny released and it appears either NDAs or just straight up good manners keep him from talking about it.

It was awesome listening to Phil, Staten and Paul. It will sound a bit corny, but Phil and Staten, they both inspire me. They are the people that I aspire to be like IRL, like really good, genuine people, but driving the industry and pushing boundaries while still remaining true to themselves. It feels good to hear them talk and poke fun at each other.

better than 90 metacritic would be very good and surprising. Only first person shooters which got this were Half Life Alyx and Doom Eternal in the last decade i believe.
Interesting principle. Then explain how FH5 got a 92 if review embargo lifted a day before the release?
Forza Horizon 5âs embargo was one day before early release, that one turned out just fine.
