Could be, but I still wouldn't look to it if I was on the fence about a game, regardless of how they rate it.

Oh, I never do that! I don't even look at reviews to decide if I buy something or not. I just look at gameplay vids! Too often have I been deceived by good reviews.

Good, then mocking DRIVECLUB's userscore is pointless. Seems we agree on that, now. :)

Sure, but I still think it deserves that score, regardless of how it got it! :)

Have you played it extensively?

Nope, don't care for broken games at launch. I don't buy those out of principal.

NO YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT. Because I clearly said "PS exclusive on Metacritic" and "Xbox exclusive".  AC is not an exclusive. Driveclub works online now and has worked perfectly offline since release. The score it go was fair but if you read some of the user critics it's obvious it's mainly fanboys. Half the game is online so the least it can lose for broken online is 5 points in a fair user review. It's a 4/5 game offline so now way can those zero scores be considered legit and a fair reflection on the game. 

And all those zeroes drag it's average down a lot. 

Those zeroes are people who were angry that half the game didn't work when they bought the game. Completely normal reaction, I'd be pissed too! I wouldn't give Rome Total War II a higher score than a 4 because of how bad it was at launch and I haven't played it since. 

#1 can you not create a new thread for this instead of derailing the weekly sales thread? 

#2 they may be angry but in no way are they a fair review. The offline is a solid 4/5 game so the least they can give the game out of 10 is a 4 or 5/10 for broken online. And on top of legit reviews there were a shitload of fanboys from another console adding their own zeroes. Bottom line is the user score is null and void yet here you are quoating it. 



I have never seen so much derail without a mod coming in here and calling people out, or telling them to stop. I wonder why.......

That was an obvious joke on his "I know it's a spin and wrong"
Cant belive u don't get that. How could i made it more clear?

Sorry. I guess my sarcasm meter is broken.

... dem PS4 numbers are crazy. I usually try downplaying them (hey, I've got to handle the Wii U doing poorly somehow :P ) by saying the Wii did better, but if these PS4 numbers are real it beat the Wii by a good 60K when you compare PS4 hardware numbers from the 22nd Nov 2014 to Wii hardware numbers from 24th Nov 2007.

Pretty good Wii U boost. It sold double the amount it did in the US in the week MK8 came out and the week SM3DW came out.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Damn I think its not too far fetched to say the PS4 might reach 1 million sales on next week's sales, at least 850k~900k. And from there, only 4 millions to go to reach that sweet 20 million mark!



Last I checked this was a thread about sales numbers; not the quality of different franchises. Let's keep it on topic please.

 

And keep the quote trees down too! They hurt my head



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
