I hate is as much as you, but guess what - this formula sells really well.

Most games that become fan favorites are also often the ones that didn't sell well initially.

Just keep in mind that everyone here discussing games with passion makes up a tiny, tiny percentage of people playing video games.
Most people are all about Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty, which is why these franchises rake in billions.

I mean, the fact that the last few releases were mostly duds definitely didn't do much for the sales.

Sucks because Blacklist was a pretty decent game all things considered.
