Hello everyone just thought id come in as someone who was probably part respinsible for hyping this game with my impressions and say erm well I stand by what I said.
Boohoo arbitary numbers didnt add up to what people expected (even though people expected low scores.... Honestly if the game looks good to you go and buy it, i dId.
Theres been plenty of games released that have reviewed poorly and gone on to have huge cult followings.
Beyond, Heavy Rain, Driveclub, Uncharted, Killzone shadow fall and so on.
I think when all the rubbish dies down well have a similar fall out of people who really dig the experience and would happily have a sequel and those of you who will forever remember the hype threads and forever consider it a failure.
Lets not forget Unity was crtically panned and the community was fiercely angry and it meant nothing and it still sold 10m.
Essentially the numbers will determine wheather its a success or not.
Personally I am still very very excited to play this and get stuck in. The reviews mean nothing to me as much as a strangers opinion would.
