Why do people care so much about the last guardian? Would it actually even sell well?

Even the greatest games out there are considered "shitty" by someone but that doesn't prove anything.

Jak 2 beinig called a bad game isn't uncommon.  It's praised by a lot of people though because it's exclusive.  If it wasn't a sequel and exclusive, more people would be honest about how shitty the game is.

Less people write reviews about games they dislike.  A fan is usually more inclined to write a review about a game they like rather than one that they dislike, so user reviews are always skewed towards more positiive.  Yet Jak 2 has 12 reviews that are 6/10 or less with a review headline that reads like it's a bad game.  http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/914535-jak-ii/reviews
