On gametrailers they gave this game 91/100 and now they have NOMINATED the game for the 'Most dissapointed game' Category.

I said around 3.9 mil b/c it's at 3.833 million.

Anyways, I do hope that they fix all the bugs in it.

Believe it or not, 3 rounds down.  Shocking discovery, I know.  You see, the concept revolves around finding which number it's closer to.  Amazingly, 3 is actually closer to 0 than 10 and that's why you have to go down and not up.

Jade's game has it's faults, but even the worst are the type that a lot of people don't care about, and mostly stuff that begins to bug you when you're well into the game. Jade's game selling a lot doesn't annoy me, although I really would appreciate if the inevitable sequel would focus more on hyping the awesomeness of itself, and not the pretty figure head of the development team.

I look forward to Jade's game 2, although it'd probably be better if they replaced her with someone chosen on competence alone.

Human nature called to remind you that sex appeal still has a major effect on people.  The point he makes is valid.  You can argue that she's not incompetent, but arguing that people aren't given figure head positions because of attractiveness is ridiculous.

On behalf of outlawauron, I would like to thank all of the mathematicians for reminding us that 3.8 is no where around 3.9.

it may not have won, but the point stands
also,
But developer Ubisoft Montreal took some missteps along the way and squandered the immense potential of its pseudo-stealth action title. A bad story, repetitive gameplay elements, and poor AI lead to the downfall of one of the more promising games in recent memory-->Taken from IGN's AC review for Xbox360

I'm not personally knocking the game, I'm just saying that a large number of respectable sources have given it such a title.

Don't listen to reviewers, I believe they've taken their eye off what really makes a game true.

To me, the technology in Assassin's Creed puts it as one of the very best (and perhaps) really 'Next Gen' game to be release. A lot of the other 'next gen' stuff is just prettier, but Assassin's creed really capitalizes on those extra abilities in a great way.

Lair was hyped way more than AC and yetperformed much worse, both critically and commecially.

 

Nah, AC had coverage like you wouldnt believe. Everyone knew about it. Only people who went out of their way knew of Lair.

I agree with you man. I never saw a single Ad for Lair. I didn't think it was supposed to be anything more than an average game.

I think it deserved those sales, Assassins creed is truly next-gen despite its flaws. I dont think it sold so well completely on hype, but because it IS a good game.

 That's because 1 person does a review and everyone does the end of the year awards.  Sometimes the reviewer is in the minority.

What makes you think she was given her position because of attractiveness?  I've seen plenty of ugly fat guys put out worse games.
