ReCore may become a success despite mixed reviews

It's simple logic.

Game reviews badly: People that are interested in the genre and concept still buy it and have a good chance of liking it more than the average reviewer.
Game reviews great: People that aren't all that interested in the genre and concept take a chance and have a good chance of still not liking the subject matter.

Disagreeing >>>>> Agreeing on the internet, hence bad review scores are wrong plus great review scores are wrong as well.

Happens all the time.  The one that always amuses me is Final Fantasy, when millions of people who don't play Japanese RPGs run out and buy a Japanese RPG then complain about it being all Japanese RPGish.  Before NMS released, I said on these forums that it's a niche game that's going to be bought by a lot of people who don't even like the genre.  It's kind of interesting to watch these things develop because you can sometimes see it forming months in advance and you just know how some of the reactions are going to spike.
