Is this a fact? Without evidence you can only state this as an assumption- But even as an assumption this is simply false. I did a quick look at the reviews of Pandemic Legacy and with minimal effort found multiple members who rated Pandemic Legacy poorly (4> ) had previously also rated Pandemic poorly (4> ).
sorry, there was a poll that was supporting this. I haven't digged into the numbers.
I'll happily revise to:
It is the "thought" that some (not all) people who rated pandemic lower aren't play or rating PL.
I never meant all, sorry if the words gave that impression.
I can't speak to how many Pandemic-haters play Pandemic Legacy, but I can confirm some do. In my own play group, one player described himself as 'hating Pandemic' (I think he rates below 5) but he was interested in playing Pandemic Legacy because of the legacy aspect. He has rated Pandemic Legacy very highly. Additional info, he is not huge into coops and plays mostly heavy-medium Euros.
I'm a coop and Pandemic hater, and my initial impressions were very high of PL (rated it a 9). But as the months have gone on, my rating keeps dropping and I remember what I hated about Pandemic, since PL basically has 12x of it.
Final months. I will ask him his thoughts when it is over. Judging by his behavior, I think he'll rate it in the 8-9 window.
See, I thought your rating dropped at least partially as a reaction to the game's position on the BGG ranking page. Full disclosure, I think I dropped my rating a bit after playing as far as we have.
