They do matter.
A game with a good score will get a boost on interest and a boost on sales, compared to if it didn't have a good score or had a bad one.

This doesn't mean they'll outsell massive multiplatform games, though, and that was never said to be the case, as well.

Disagree. Bayonetta was one of the best reviewed games in its day and sold like sh&*. Plenty of examples where high end reviewed games sell averagely

Compared to low scoring games that sell high.

Movies are the same. Look at Warcraft or Batman vs Superman. Terrible scores yet popular.

A well reviewed game should also appeal to gamers. Platinum makes weird games that are ridiculously over the top, and I do like over the top but they do it way too much. Also there games focus on combat and everything else like level design, pacing and story are terrible in their games. People care about the package and they already know how Platinum makes their games.

This. Genres and brand matter a lot more. Score do help, but not as much as the genre of the movie/games and the brand. Forza Horizon 3 will sell around 2 million which is good, but not great.

Yes racing games don't have a big audience now outside PlayStation platforms. Forza Horizon 3 could have been huge 4 million plus seller if its was on PS4. Xbox isn't popular in Europe and Asia where racing games sell the most.

My order shipped should have the game tomorrow.

If you are talking about FH3 then let me know what you think of it. I have noticed that I usually tend to agree with your taste/opinions when it comes to racing games lol.

I haven't played the online portion of the game yet but I'm pretty close to doing my first final race in the career mode and so far I like it a lot better then the second game there is just a lot more to do then there was in the second game and they no longer have forced road trips after every four races.  There are now four festival sites that each can be upgraded five times in order to upgrade them you have to gain more fans and to do that you have to do various events you can earn more fans by doing various races or doing PR stunt (which are speed traps, speed zones, drift zones and stunt jumps) plus there are still bucket list events that can also earn you more fans and once in a while there are random street drivers that appear in a certain areas of the map once you beat them you can add them to your team which can have up to four drivers once you have four you still get random driver you can hunt down and once you beat them you can add them to your team by firing one of your four drivers or you can stick with the four drivers you already have.  Also by winning one on races with random drivers you can unlock street races you have to win 50 one on one races to unlock all the street races.  Plus if you really want to you can beat the entire offline mode with just one car since you can set up your own rules for each race in the game with the blueprint feature. 



Well its probably going to stay at 91 at this point; user reviews also suggest its a great game as well. My wallet may have to take a beating this year.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

This game is incredible. I love it so much! Look at this screenshot I took! It looks like real life! 
Online is where the real fun is for me. Love me some multiplayer.

Perhaps real life looks like that after you take shrooms lol.
I like games with a bit of color, looks fun.

Photo mode in FH3 is amazing. You can take amazing pictures without being limited to a race track. The scenery is just mind blowing. Nice shot

That color scheme will blow your eyes out lol. I do love the customization in this game though. Best I've ever personally used in any racing game.
