The point is, critical review in this case doesn't have shit to do with the quality of the game, but instead the perceived opinions of the people who are reviewing the game.

The game could be BETTER then GOW3 and it would still be reviewed worse because of it's branding issue.

Come on did you even read what you said, better then GOW.  Fact is theres no chance it be any where as good as GOW3.

OP is right.

I don't think you read what I said.

It's a matter of fact that if you take two identical products and put them in different packaging one can be considered way better then another.

In fact, you could take a wine that was better overall and one 80% of taste tests blind... but it in a worse bottle and a good 60-70% of people actually could think the inferior wine was better now in tastetests.


Put the better wine in the better bottle and it wins 90% of the time.  Point being... branding and packaging are so much more important then most people think.

This is why so many games and companies try and play the internet hype game.  A LARGE amount of the time how much you like or dislike a game could actually be based on hype or even just what kind of mood your in when you sit down to play it.
