The name "hydrophobia" has been tainted. Even if they fixed it, the name alone will scare people off. It's time they made something new.
I don't know. If that is completely true, then Dynasty Warriors wouldn't be on it's 37th release without any major changes to its formula.
You do realize Dynasty Warriors has been, is, and continues to be one of the most popular franchises in Japan, right? North America isn't the only continent on the planet.
Other continents? Whaa? My inferior American brain cannot comprehend your fancy arguments. ... Anyways, I personally enjoy Dynasty Warriors, much like this Japan you speak of, but it seems to get really harsh reviews IN North America, much like Hydrophobia....yet they keep releasing Dynasty Warriors games in North America. My point being that, as an example, a publisher will sometimes stick to their product, even if it only reaches a niche audience.
Am I the only one who thinks this might actually be fun? I mean, I'll never be a tester, not for video games, anyway, maybe for pies or other pastries, but not games.
So give me a chance to praise and whine about a game now and then! It might be an enjoyable experience. If it's not, I'll record that and move on with my life and my pile of AAA titles I haven't played yet.
"Few could have anticipated Assassin's Creed would have been such a blockbuster right out of the gate, but Ubisoft found itself with a major hit."
Really? Ubisoft showcased it at E3 for multiple years, there was advertising everywhere, the vast majority of reviews for the game were positive. It had a HUGE budget, I'm sure. They used people from the Prince of Persia team to program it.
I don't know much about business, but I think Ubisoft kinda expected it to be a blockbuster, even if just to make back their investment.
