Do we need rating system before official release?

Comment from Андрей Рощевкин
What's the point to rate RDR2 as «exceptional» before release? I mean, it's absolutely about any game which is not released. Don't we have so many examples of titles that were worse than original? We do. 

Great screenshots and game-video? Checkout this video for Vampyr — demo compared to the released game. 

Good example that proves — screenshots and game-video means almost nothing.

I know that most people love Horizon, but for me it's «extremely weak story + great graphics». I could hardly imagine someone who rating the game as «exceptional» only for graphics.

Maybe we need separate «Waiting Rating» at RAWG instead of awarding the games for nothing.

Hey there, Sergey here, the editor-in-chief of RAWG. We've been thinking a lot about disallowing rating a game if it's not out yet. However, since RAWG is relatively small now, we don't want to limit anybody to express themselves and do whatever they please here. :-) However, sooner or later we'll do something about it. Probably we'll have something what you say—love the idea of Waiting Rating, I'd say that we can track most anticipated games with that somehow. Or we might just disable rating games that aren't out yet altogether.

Arthur is vert attractive!
After finishing this game, every other game feels like garbage and certainly not worth to be paid with the same currency.
So here it is.

There's slow-mo! Also camping, decision-based storyline, relations with friends and horses, etc. Looks good.
Some theories for you today!

Fans can find anything, you know. One of them found résumé of ex-Rockstar programmer on LinkedIn. It features work on RDR2 for PS4, Xbox and PC. This is the only mention of PC version of the game, and, of course, no official commentory followed. But who knows - maybe, the game won't be console exclusive!

I know the story can be as exciting as it was the RDR (It's Rockstar we are talking about after all). My problem with the game is - we know in advance who dies and lives in this cast of unlikely heroes. And the whole story is pointless because we know how it will play out. For example, do you remember Star Wars prequels or stories? Might be the same case. What do you think?
