If that is the mindset they have then I truly feel bad for them. After watchdogs and now this, they are building a reputation for themselves with gamers that wil affect sales of every game the make going forward. Besdies, if AC4 sold a total of 8M copies, and then unity goes on to sell only 3M copies, even if they make a profit I doubt they will be very happy about that. As for the game reviews, I think that its even as high as 76 on meta right now (thought that wil drop as more reviews come in) just goes to show how stupid the review system is in gaming these days. The only review(s) that I appreciated were the joystiq review which gave it a 5/10 and polygon (can't believe I said that) which i think gave it a 6/10. All those people giving it a 7 and above while still complaining (when at all they do) how the framerate issues and bugs make the game almost unplayable and disorientating baffles me. They should have the guts to score the game lower. |
I agree they're doing long-term damage to their image, but if they're still making money and if gamers are still buying/paying, then I doubt they'll see it until the damage really starts making a dent in their bottom line. By then it'll be very difficult to repair the damage done.
As for reviews, their are few reviewers I trust anymore, but even with the outlets I trust I usually go by text rather than score when I decide whether I'll like a game or not. The text often reveals far more than the final scores.
