Played it at comic-con and my only issue was the controls, which according to this review are good. ANd lol to all those "forward" thinking people saying scores are not good and are now complaining that there are no scores. Read the review

Vitas main game for the holiday season will not even get 80% in reviews? This will be a disaster for Vita sales and future third party efforts on Vita.


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.

The AC franchise is a huge one. they sell millions of copies yearly, sure some of that should trickle down despite reviews just like it did for Bloodlines. Naw critic reviews dont matter much in the face of these juggernaut franchises. Revelations numbers is nothing to be proud of not when ORC did much better on one console in a shorter amount of time and reviewed MUCH worst. Actually ORC proves my point there is a series not aimed at casuals and the game sold well regardless of reviews

You should tell that to Capcom, because they are proud of Revelations' sales. I don't hear anyone over there talking about a potential ORC sequel.

Bloodlines is one of the most famous overtracked games here in VGcharts.

That's 2 years after release.

Kind of expected, and I expect the same for Call of duty. All in all not bad but not good.
