With the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed III:Liberation Ubisoft has already screwed up their chances of Liberation's release before either game is even out.
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Act Normal Games today announced with great delight and thrill that their isometric post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure “Rauniot“, is now available PC (via Steam, GOG, and GMG." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The game, which has launched in early access, has been in development for years with more than 3,000,000 wishlists on Steam.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I will probably still buy both and just switch between them same as i did with tl2 and bl2. I think the holiday season this year is less crowded then last year so i think you can easily pick up liberation later especially if you dont like bo2.
I agree with the article that it was a bad move to release both games on the same date. Should've released one or the other a month or so ahead of schedule, and implemented the cross buy feature. Also, they should've advertised Liberation more or as much as they did AC3. I feel that AC:L didn't get as much exposure and could be the system pusher Sony needs for the Vita. We'll see what happens after the holiday season.
yah the same day is a bit of problem that could hurt some money for ubi.. dunno how ubi couldn't see it.
Getting both!
Liberation hurt itself the minute the main character was announced as being female. Cue lots of suppressed emotions, lots of pseudo macho crap, and a romantic plot that ends with the man dying and a final revenge sequence.
