THQ explains their new approach to balancing budgets and aiming for 90+ Metacritic ratings

Darksiders 2, Homefront 2, and Turtle Rock's project are all titles I'm greatly looking forward to.

I really hope THQ successfully turns around. They really seem to care a lot about making very high quality titles without going into unreasonable budgets and adding loads of lame content where it doesn't belong (hi multiplayer in assassin's creed!).

While everyone else is so worried to climb to the top, they're more focused on quality medium-large sized games. In a way, that mentality reminds me of Nintendo.

I thought AC's multiplayer was a breath of fresh air. I loved being a sneaky bugger, hiding in the crowd and stabing people in the face unsuspectedley. Sure, it did not hook me for months on end, but I did play it for a couple of months which is far more than any other console multiplayer I have tried. My next favorite was Bioshock 2 cause it had a slight twist to the gameplay mechanics and thought that was fun too. If I simply want an out-and-out shooter for my multiplayer fix, I stick with Counter-Strike on the PC (over 10 years playing it now).

I can see why others did not like the AC multiplayer though.
