lol, that was my thought exactly. WHY would you list titles that majority would consider not very good.
Well because the people who worked on them can still do their jobs else where lol I don't even understand how the gaming community doesn't know this.
Look at the credits of your favorite game and you'll find someone who worked on a game you didn't like, likely worked on your favorite games too lol Its a contracted business and I think the community as a whole seems to think that a team that worked on a game like Watch Dogs 3...are WATCH DOGS 3 DEVELOPERZ as in they only just fucking did that for life despite nothing suggesting that even remotely, most AAA games are made by a bunch of developers that have been all over the industry.
Thus...some staff that worked on Halo, worked on Call Of Duty, worked on Battlefront 2, worked on Battlefield 1, worked on Titan Fall 2, then worked on Star Wars Fallen order....that doesn't fucking mean you are getting a perks from a kill streak and a helicopter comes out in Star Wars Fallen Order lol, in fact I never really get WHY the community reacts this way as if 1 person makes theses games and can ONLY make those games, thus working on some other IP will cause it to be like the last game they worked on, its always the funniest odd myth that never really makes a lot of sense when you look deeply into it. Its extremely rare you get a team where 100% of the staff only worked on 1 IP their whole careers. I believe Bioshock Isolation or what ever the fuck they are going to call it is in good hands lol
When they hired that developer, they are focused on what they can do as a developer, not solely the reception of the last game. It would be like trying offer Jason Kidd 100 million after the finals cause Jason Terry and Dirk carried the fucking team to a championship lol I'm pretty sure they also know what they are looking for and how to judge the individual talents of that staff and not simply the overall performance of the last game they worked on (good or bad btw) as they still need to know what THEY did on those projects, not simply the results or perception of the overall project.
If not, we just going to have the bench players from Championship teams out here asking for 100 mill like they did something lol
