Re: Star Wars Outlaws, XDefiant Disappointments Pour Pain on Ubisoft's Share Prices

Companies have changed customer's buying habits, they want live service games and games that keep players engaged. That is what they got.

Fighting games with drip fed new characters, DLC expansions, shooters with seasons, F2P that really costs money. Now players are sticking with games longer, buying less and companies are wondering why not every game is selling like crazy.

I gravitated to the PS FOR those single player games, Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, GOW, The Last of Us, Spiderman, Infamous, Ghost of Tsushima, I'll even add games like Resogun.

Yes, some of those games had multiplayer. However it wasn't a GAaS or Live Service. They were single player games with usually a fun multiplayer component to it.

I understand there is a wide variety of vendors which includes live service games. However a company has to almost be lucky to launch a successful one. Seems like for every 1 successful live service, there at least 5 flops. All these executives seem to just be chasing the money.

Suicide Squad and Concord were panned for so long before release, and it seemed like the executives were just going to push through and launch the games, believing none of the negative hype was real when I reality it shouldn't have been a huge surprise that the games failed.

I've learned that you'll get a much better and cheaper experience waiting. Whatever needs to get patched will get buttoned up. They'll add new things, ie photo mode, new game + and more likely it'll drop in price.

@Max_the_German not at all, what reason is there to create this game to "learn"? A sequel is going to be similar in tone and gameplay, they aren't going to spend the money for a team to play around, they'd just skip to part 2.

The fact is Sony thinks it'll make money, and that is why it exists.
