This game looks gorgeous. It's on my list.

I expect this to score AAE here but that it will be my undesputed GOTY 2014 and deserve a near perfect score.
Donkey Kong Country Returns was THE best platformer of last gen and one of the forerunners for best platformer ever made.
I already know it'll be my undisputed GOTY for 2014 despite not playing it yet. Yup, I'm that fucking stupid.
Had to count the damn votes because new GS detroyed the poll. The current hype is AAE.
It might be worth just making a new one. This thread was created far too early. It still comes out in over two months. That way you can get a more realistic hype (ie more current views), and you'll have the poll back.
No point doing these hype threads. Instead of people saying what they think they complain that gamespot will undervalue it purposely just so later they can say "exceeded hype!" if it's given a good score or "hype met" if it is disappointing.
They are completely worthless because people aren't honest. You could hype something 1/10 and then talk it up when it receives a 7, but if that game is all you've been talking about all year you really valued it more than that.
Hype threads are dead.

Too lazy.

Fair enough :P
AA. I can't see a direct sequel getting AAA when the previous installment did not, but just A sounds a little low for this game.
Hype: AAA
I'm sure Gamespot will score this AA, but my personal hype is 9/10 at least. I love the series, and Retro did an awesome job on the last one, making me a bid less sad about what happened to Rare.
Everything I've seen of this game looks promising, and so this is a day one buy.
I must say the only thing that's brought down my hype for this game is the kong-pow gameplay mechanic. One of the best parts of Donkey Kong Country Returns is the challenge. This mechanic seems like something one could rely on to really dull that aspect in some levels. I like precision over a scatter shot move like that.
