bad or good is highly subjective. that being said, the mechanics of a game can be bad and there is no way around it. Or a story can be bad, but even that is highly subjective. But yes, in my opinion there is no bad games unless its broken and does not work, like Unity. As far as the mechanics of a game goes, I dont hate on games, if I am not used to it, I adapt. If there is a new approach to the gaming, I am patient and open my mind to new things.

So unless its broken, I will try to like it and if I dont like it, it simply means that this game was not meant for me. and will try to search for a game I like.

I think there will be plety of people who enjoy the order. Its clearly not for everyone particularly gaming enthusist who prefer more action oriented games.

For instance, I love CIV 5. Most gamers as least respect the CIV series, but there are alot of people out there who find the games dull boring and slow. Just because they tend to review pretty well does not mean people are going to like it and it works both ways.

If their ''vision'' ends up  not meeting expectations,then yes its a mistake,no matter what way its spun

Who's expectations specifically ? 

If you mean the developers then your wrong on that part since it's usually how they intended it it to be ...

If you mean your expectations then maybe but you can't make the assertion for the consumers unless the same sentiments are shared ... 

That's how it works for anything. You can have any type of vision or whatever you want for your own product. However if you release it,no matter what vision you have in mind and it doesnt meet the expectations of the people you're selling it to(Your consumers/audience),then the vision is a mistake.

So far its for reviews/reception,their ''vision'' has been a ''mistake''. 

But we wont know for a few more weeks if the actual vision these devs had was a mistake or not because the bulk of the sales will come from its first week of sales,which are from the early adopters. So after word of mouth spreads,we can see how the game performs in its 2nd and 3rd weeks and see what the consumers say with their wallets

Some of the people's definition of "mistake" on here is funny.

I think you are right, they exactly did what they promised. But the thing seems to be that what they wanted to achieve ended up in a not so good game. So congrats that they reached their goal but this doesn't mean people are not allowed to criticize the goal itself.

Exactly

Prior to that the game was still pretty new, and sold tons on hype for the franchise alone.

Like I said, the first few weeks the game sells on hype. Do you really think Ubisoft would have bundled the game so soon if they expected it to continue selling?

well, too bad if you're so so offended. I'm just saying that a lot of pre-teens and teens buy games for graphics even if the games are not good or critically acclaimed.
