Maybe you should edit "2012" into the title since people don't seem to be grasping the concept. Lol @ sales fighting over .07


ok i will.  MSFT is 74 of all time.  Sony is 73 but yeah I agree, ill change it to 2012


change the title and add a note at the foot of the OP wiht the all time.

OT. if this is so unimportant why are people rushing in to say so... lol

Props to Take-Two Interactive. When your worst game of the year is Max Payne 3. You are putting some really quality content out there. They are certainly my favourite publisher these days. Ubisoft has a chance of matching that. They did great last year with AC3 and Far Cry 3. EA is blah.

Assassin's Creed 3 was so dissapointing though.

Depends on a person's taste. Might not be as good as others but it still seems like a solid game. 

I've encountered more bugs in AC3 than in Skyrim & Fallout 3 combined (over 200 hours) and I haven't even finished AC3 yet. The game was extremely rushed and that's very noticeable.
So far it's my least favourite AC game (though I have barely played Revelations).

Even then Max Payne 3 got decent reviews, mostly in the 80's and 90's. It's still by far a good game, better than anything EA published thats for sure. 

Yep. That is my point. Even ignoring the metacritic. Take Two/2K main really high quality. Last year they Max Payne 3, X-COM Enemy Unknown, Spec Ops: The Line, Borderlands 2 and still maintain the quality of NBA 2K13. I am sure i am missing some but these are some quality game here. 

This year they have Bioshock Infinite and GTA 5 as their big games. I am sure there are more. Quality publisher.

its a good game, but its clear ubisoft lost its way with that game, it just doesnt give you that feel of being an "assassin". also the setting of the american revolution sucked ass. it just doesnt fit this game

You are right about the bugs. When the company is releasing massive patches to fix bugs weeks after the game came out. That is surely a bad sign. I hope they don't go for a yearly route from now on and try to maintain the quality and polish. Revelations was okay and not as bad as everyone makes it to be. Despite a new location (Istanbul) it didn't feel as fresh though and did have framerate issues here and there.

I don't think displaying an average is fair, if you published 2 games that scores 80 how does that make you better than another publisher that made 10 games which scores all across the board.

Mass effect 3 was amazing despite the ending not beeing XXX perfect. It was still good enough to me and a great series to have played.
I dont know how there are people who actually devalue a game that gave them 40 hours of pleasure and 5 minutes of disappointment. Seriously. live with it. The good news is there will be more games because of it.
