@baron_machina: Listen I'm with you. This is not supposed to be thread against the internet BUT a thread about just how important the internet is not in terms of helping games succeed or fail. In the case of the two games mentioned, it helped put them on the shelf...for now.
I think we need more honesty on the internet and as reviews and discussions move away from say, sites such as this and into the hands of a lot of independent YouTubers, we can only get mroe honest opinions.
Pretty good gaming is a very good site for something like that.
@Jacanuk: I think I might end up buying Andromeda at some stage but it's pretty obvious Bioware did not advance the game and a lot of players were peeved off...heck they were annoyed the moment the first full trailer released.
The controls were always quite floaty and "clunky" as you put it before GTA V. It's why, purely from a gameplay perspective, the latest is the best. Thet tightened up the shooting, targeting, moving and made the game a lot better. I will however, always rate Vice City as the best when you combine the story, art diretcion, location and characters. GTA V is a very good second though.
@Jacanuk: I am all for supporting good developers and publishers, CD Project Red comes to mind. But if there are people involved in the industry who aim to mislead gamers, not put in enough of an effort to advance a sequel etc, then they should be avoided and we should use our wallets to do the talking.
@Macutchi: If you read the post, you may understand. It normally helps. Let me put it down easy for you: with regards to Andromeda and Hitman. The developers and publishers failed to properly utilise 2 exceptional franchises and their games fell apart, both critically and in terms of sales (Hitman was a huge flop). A lot of this hadt o do with gamers spekaing out againstt he products and/or how those products were presented to potential buyers.
