Sales of course. Scores don't matter to developers as long as sales are blossoming. Do you seriously think Activision cares about the scores COD has gotten so far? No it's all about what they have/can earn from the franchise. We do care about these scores though, even though they're not the whole story. Even cult games like Demon's Souls that resulted in the birth of a franchise, and maybe 2 after Bloodborne, received a lot of bashing in the beginning before it achieved the cult status it now has. Hell even Yoshida didn't think much of it, he was sorry in hindsight though |
Well, I usually relate "underrated" to reviews and scores. Maybe because it's not my native language...
Something is underrated by consumers/critics, not underrated as such. That leads to confusion.
So, a game with high critical acclaim can be underrated if the mass market ignores it? Good to know.
But weren't the sales of NFL 2K5 good and EA signed a exclusivity deal to kill the competition? And I still hear on forums that the 2K series was much better.
