It might not be out for a whole two years, but respected games industry analyst Michael Pachter has already made the prediction that BioShock Infinite reviews will score 'in the 90s'. A fair bet, we reckon.

So now it will either get 10's, or flop hard. Hmm... Anyway, seems like he's just stating the obvious, so far from what we know (i.e. not much, except BioShock was great).

Yeah, he always seems to be either stating the obvious or making some wild claim that rarely turns out right.

Misleading title. Thought Pachter had traveled into the future and written some weird retro review. Or maybe I'm just sleep deprived.

Why is an industry analyst talking about review scores? Shouldn't he be more focused on, you know, the business side?

I imagine he's talking about it because someone asked him.

Yeah... that's Pachter alright. He takes information that any teenager with an interest in games would know and spits it out to investors... AND GETS PAID!!! The funny (sad?) part is how far off he gets when he actually tries to come up with something on his own.

Yeah, I'm sure Pachter doesn't just make some obvious statement to no one in particular whenever he feels like saying something. I don't think judging him from the headlines that get written about him is entirely fair for that reason.

Prediction != hype. You can't say it's flop already.

Alrighty, I can now cross Bioshock: Infinite off my 'Looking Forward To' list, if this guy's track record is as inaccurate as past predictions. In other news, I predict Halo: Reach, GT5 and all future GTAs to score 'in the 90s'. Can I get paid for my expert opinions now?

games from established franchises usually get a bump in the ratings whether it warrants it or not, if it's an okay game that might warrant something in the 80s there's a good possibility with enough hype it can get up to the 90s

If they put a ton of money into the advertising, of course it will score a 9+. Just look at all the other games with tons of advertising and a 9+ score.

A lot of Bioshock haters in this thread. It has a good chance of scoring 90+. Bioshock is a solid budding series.

i find it insulting the man still has a job/ hes proven time and time again he not only has no idea what hes talking about when it comes to video games and gaming, but also has no idea about the industry what hes actually being paid to analyze. its truly insulting. If i did his kind of work at my job id be fired
