    Don’t all the sports games and Call of Duties also review and sell well? I don’t think many would call them good games.

    Yea, I don’t follow any gaming media or forum. I pretty much get new things to play from either Steam’s recommended list or Humble Bundle.

    I haven’t played the last Mortal Kombat, that’s true. All previous ones, which I did play, including the 2 Injustice games, felt too samey for me to bother with another one.

      Call of Duties are trending down but still generally seen as good games. Sports games are doing worse. Since the exclusivity contracts were signed in the mid 00s, the quality among critics and fans has been seen as declining, but if you’re a basketball fan, you’ve got no real option besides the casino disguised as an NBA game, for instance.

      You’re on one right now.

      As for Mortal Kombat, this is where we just get back to accounting for personal taste. They’re immensely popular, review well, and they’ve been doing measurably better with critics and fans since the acquisition. (Hit me up in Skullgirls though.)
