While we are on the subject of reviews, it should be noted that genre games are often critic proof. For instance, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI just came out for PC last week. Now, I haven't played it yet, but I do believe this game got a sub 7 review on the game sites. Fact is, I don't think any of the Koei historical simulation games ever do well, and I've been playing them for something like 20 years. But Koei keeps putting them out because there is a loyal and dedicated fanbase that loves them, including myself and my best friend. How can I expect a game journalist, who is usually playing Halo or GTA, to get this type of game?
