I know they shouldn't, and I think that's what they try to tell themselves too. But we all know how marketing and perception is important. And it even affects us hardcore gamers. It was not a disaster but still, quite a few people got disappointed by the reviews and at least some of them must have altered their plans. The bad reviews sent a message of doubt. Some people will go "what if", "what if this game ain't the masterpiece I thought it was". It made the same to me. If ACIII hadn't got 85% but instead had got those 90% that ACII got, I wouldn't have lost the extreme hype mode I was in for a little while. |
When your on the bridge deciding wheather or not to buy a game one or two bad reviews is all it takes to sway you from buying the game. That also happened to me with AC3 I was all hype to get it from trailers and gameplay then a few bad reviews stopped me from getting it :/
