Nioh is set for a February release by Team Ninja and while the track history of such games is intimidating, the game can be a massive success.
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.
When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.
subscribers go up, execs celebrate win, get bonus, price goes up, subscribers go down,
execs dont care, got their bonus,
If it works CEOs and shareholders get a payday and if it doesn't even more studios get closed by MS so CEOs and shareholders get a payday.
It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.
Man this studio got hit with another round? it sucks there know for dead by daylight not saying that its a bad game because its not but because its from 2016 and this team has tossed a game out almost every year sense then but each game got worse and worse sales/notice.

Stuff like this looks like alot of work was done but so few sales this is what no doubt is causing all the layoffs.

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
I already pre ordered this game on my ps4. Can't wait
I hope it sells well. I already know it deserves it. They put it around for honor and horizon and I hope that doesn't affect it too bad.
Ugh, I am still torn which to buy between Nioh and Horizon: Zero Dawn this February. I was going to let Horizon slide until March, but the hype for it has become stronger for me in the past few weeks! Nioh, on the other hand, is a no-brainer as a purchase. Guys, help!
So Koei Tecmo taking advantage of the Dark Souls craze, setting Dark Souls game play and dark, grim aesthetic in Sengoku Japan. Please don't be fooled by the "script from Akira Kurosawa." Dynasty Warriors was based on the novels "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and we all know how well they told the story in those many many games. As for team ninja and story telling--Other M--need I say more?
Koei Tecmo have tried to emulate other styles of game in the past and have failed miserably to capture what made those titles engaging. Remember Quantum Theory--Japan's Gears of War? Can't blame you--nobody does.
I fear this may be falling in love with the potential of a concept--Dark Souls in Japan based on Shinto Lore, and I'll admit that does sound intriguing. However, I ask you look at the creators of the title and ask if they are even capable. History says no.
This is the game that anyone who has a PS4 must try and get. Horizon: Zero Dawn may well be the big release of this quarter but I suspect that Nioh will be the sleeper hit right up there with Yakuza 0. Between these three, and Gravity Rush 2, I will barely have time to get through these games before Personae 5 hits. I am still playing all my games from the last quarter of 2016 and I haven't even started a couple. So many games and so little time - good problem to have for PS4 gamers.
