Wow, 7 being second is impressive, I remember when it was announced a lot of people across different sites were upset because it was first-person view and had no "zombies". Glad to see it do so well.
@TheCollector316 Selling more copies still wouldn't have been sustainable even on PC if they had no business plan to monetize it. So where does the extra income come from on a live service game?
Nice to see Nickelodeon finally give these people a budget to work with, plus cross-play will definitely help with this one versus the last one that didn't have it at all.
@Shepherd_Tallon As I progressed and started getting more Eikons I started releasing certain Eikons are good for certain situations and boss fights actually pretty in-depth.
Considering its a departure from the turn-based or actually ATB system they have built the brand on I have a feeling they knew it was going to isolate some people and adjusted to that. IMO
@Sekijo I think we all wanted them to be competitive but we all would have liked to have seen them makes something original in-house not but up a developer or publisher to keep the sequels to franchises that already showed up Multiplatform.
The whole reason I haven't bought Outer Worlds is that I will never get to play a sequel.
We can say what we want about Ubi but they know scale when it comes to open world. Yes it will be flooded with mind-numbing things to do, but they know scale. D2 is a pretty good shooter so hopefully, those mechanics are in line similar.
@UltimateOtaku91 I still don't think that will stop them, it took between 2 years to buy 2 large publishers. I say give it another 2 and will be all here again arguing about it once again using daddies money to buy something because they are still in '3rd place"
@cburg You can still be a gamer fan and not like what another system offers. Owning all systems doesn't magically make you part of some hierarchy that you don't prefer one system over another.
@ED_209 With what money? It the biggest they did was Bungie an that was developer for $3 billion, so where do you think they are gonna get the money to buy a publisher?
To be honest, @Matthewnh GotG was pretty amazing, and I would highly suggest checking it out even if it was on sale. The story was perfection. Batman 1 & 2, 3 for me personally had to many issues and less interring boss battles. Lol people always seem to forget Origins as well.
Is this one a gacha as well and I need to spend a bunch of money to get a character I want or can you progress to the end of the game with the characters given?
@Tidus_g This is my sentiment as well for games that simultaneously go to GP day 1 and are full price on PS. I'm still waiting on Plague Tale to be cheaper than $49.

Re: Preview: Blue Protocol Might Be the Competition Genshin Impact Needs
@get2sammyb I suppose but from what I hear about Genshin the main draw is getting your favorite Waifu which seems different than this.
Re: Preview: Armored Core 6 Could Give Newer FromSoftware Fans Whiplash
@Nepp67 The older AC games you basically needed a spreadsheet to build your mech
Re: Preview: Armored Core 6 Could Give Newer FromSoftware Fans Whiplash
@Nepp67 Armored Core was difficult way before the souls games came along.
Re: Preview: Blue Protocol Might Be the Competition Genshin Impact Needs
Is Blue no longer an MMO because Genshin isn't so Im not sure what the similarities are except the look
