Forums - Nintendo - IGN UK: Anno Dawn of Discovery get an 8.7

http://wii.ign.com/articles/984/984846p1.html

 

Wow, this game came out of no where when it was announced and ended up getting a really high score!



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Money exchanged hands here. Obviously. Ubisoft probably bought IGN for this to be possible

And I never heard of the series, but good score none the less.



Wow, I didn't see that coming.
I thought its gonna be bad, but guess not.



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

Anno is a very well known, very popular series in Europe. The game should do well, as the series has mainstream appeal.
