   @GossiTheDog how is it?

   I've heard loads of people s**t on the game but without providing any actual coherent reason

     @GossiTheDog going on 2nd hand information since I've not played it myself but the biggest gripe I heard consistently is that folks are just sick of Ubisoft open world games in general

     @GossiTheDog Fair. Could be the zeitgeist among folks who are really into videogames and the larger buying public doesn't overlap that much.

     Almost feels like Avatar's massive box office sales vs folks online going "nobody cares about Avatar"

     RE game sales: Are you talking about Mirage? It's hard to find good apples to apples comparisons but, while it did sell well, it's sold fewer than previous games in the franchise (10 mil for Odyssey 5 mil for Mirage)

     @GossiTheDog I'm intent on giving it a try at some point, but open world games aren't really my cup of tea, and with Ubisoft games you always expect them to rapidly decline in price soon after release. Hasn't really happened with this one, but it still invites people to wait.
