@alexLmx6 yea, its quite sad actually. More so when they have a picture of the "journalist" alongside the article with a description desperately trying to be funny. Some people just have no shame.
I don't even like AC, I played the first one and it seemed so awful I sold it back without finishing the whole thing. With that said, what's wrong with these preorders? Yes the game just got unveiled and there is almost not info about it but it's a well established series which has consistently pleased its fans. These preorders are the reward for that consistency, I don't see anything particularly bad about this. I'm sure millions of people were set on buying the last Harry Potter book simply because it was a sequel to another book and it was written by a certain author. That is usually enough to get people. If a franchise and its developer/author/creator is consistently good then you can obviously expect people to just have trust on the quality of their next installment, even when they know nothing about it.
Bayonetta, Dark Souls, The Last Story, Xenoblade, SMG 1&2 are all terrible? This is all news to me. Anyways, I don't think it's a very smart idea to make comments like this when you are an independent developer. People may very well associate you with your game (more so than when there is a big company behind it and there is a huge team of people working on it) so being an a**hole like this can never help get sales. I have already lost some interest in Fez after finding out one of the main guys behind it comes off as an immature a**hole.
