Assassins Creed has such a huge fanbase people would buy it even if it had a score of 65. Just look at the Resident Evil sales.


not even, look at Bloodlines, that game has ever worst reviews and it still sold more than a mil. Contrast that to RE Revelations getting great reviews but very little people seem to care. Either way if one believes that reviews affect sales of a game that much then they are trolling or just plain stupid.  By that logic Just Dance should have died out years ago.

Casuals don't read reviews. That's the huge difference.
Neither RE Revelations, Bloodlines or Liberation are targeted at casuals and therefore critic reviews will ultimately matter.
Bloodlines did 1.5m with a much much higher userbase and RE Revelations did 620k without even one holiday season.
