    0 points for the counter pick is a very good result

    Really? Would a release and low score not be better?

    Yes, but that score has to be less than 70 for the person who counterpicked the game to score points. So if Fable came out and it only score 75, you'd lose 5 points. If it scored 65, you'd get 5 points.

    Counterpicks are a risk in themselves. You counterpick a game and it does surprisingly well, you could lose a chunk of points. A pretty safe way of counterpicking is to pick a game you think will be delayed. You score no points, but you also stop the other player from being able to drop it, meaning one of their picks is a guaranteed 0.

    So with Fable being delayed, you neither gain nor lose points, but you've locked the game on Jim's list so he can't drop it.

    Like my counter pick, gta 6. Good change of it being delayed but sounds like November is nailed in so -28 points for me 😂

    A 65/100 from the seemingly attention seeking PCGamer has brought 007 First Light down to 88.

    "Hear me out, what if James Bond just shouldnt be in video games" seems a bit much.

    SW Zero Company has seemingly had its release date leaked, and phew, it's August of this year.

    I think Elden Ring Switch 2 edition coming in August make its less likely The Duskbloods is coming out this year.

    Hoping for an Orbitals date at SGF or Nintendo Direct.

    Yeah, I think if Duskbloods isn't one of Gerf's exclusives at SGF, it has been pushed until next year.

    Following on from SGF, I'm going to have to drop Stranger Than Heaven and the Monster Hunter expansion, both of which are now slated for next year. I'm glad about the former though - the whole Tupac business is ghoulish.

    I have probably three ‘drop watch’ titles depending on release dates, and only two drops left. So c’mon Persona 4 2026 release date and/or surprise Mario reveal 😆

    Glad nobody was bidding though - gives the week to get the lay of the land!

    Any chance of Orbitals getting ItTakesTwo opencritic numbers?

    Expected a trailer for Neverway at this Direct. Hopefully its still coming end of the year.

    The Duskbloods closed network test is in summer. ER NightReign came out 3 and a half months after the network test so maybe October?

    I assume Nintendo is waiting to see if GTA6 gets delayed before announcing dates for Zelda and Duskbloods?

    I grabbed that for a zillion dollars when first announced, basically my only chance of getting to 7th place.
