In the world of online marketplaces, consumer reviews are nothing new. Most reputable mostly reputable online marketplaces- Amazon, eBay, Google Play- all have systems in place for users to write reviews of products they've purchased on the platforms where they've purchased them. Consumer reviews have never been perfect (neither have been reviews produced by professionals, though that's an argument for another article), but generally speaking, if you know what to look for, they can be quite useful.
For Steam, Valve's video game digital distribution platform, a proper user review system was released in November 2013, about ten years after the platform was first introduced. If this seems a bit late, you should know that Late is Valve's middle name; they have a reputation for being slow to implement important changes, but they manage to succeed in spite of this; when it comes to reviews on Steam, perhaps their implementation was just a little bit too late for them to avoid some serious issues.
A year packed with major releases for Xbox consoles, PC and Game Pass.
ninja Gaiden being released 8 days apart is insane MS hasn't learned anything with shoulder to shoulder releases. October 29 for Outer Worlds and October 21 for Ninja Gaiden. These games now range from 60 to 80$. Yalls audience might GP it but other platforms have to buy it and your average person won't shell out that kinda money a week apart.
Well, you dont have to buy it. Noone is making gamers buy it a week apart. I don't see anything wrong with it.
You want another Doom The Dark Ages scenario? I'm surprised Oblivion and Expedition 33 did well with a simultaneous release. Clearly that fatigue was definitely felt with Doom.
They need at least 2 weeks apart.
You're talking about a first-person RPG and a third-person action game though. So, it's a bit different than EA putting Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 back-to-back.

I count 7 original multiplatform IPs, which were ultimately bought and are now published by Microsoft.
Sigh.

But you.
Nope, 'displeased' ain't the feeling I had when reading that article.
But speaking of pleasure:
Are you personally pleased with that line-up Xbox have in store for you in the Series' fifth year?
Edit: I didn't downvote you.
No Man's Sky on Nintendo Switch 2 offers a major leap in graphics and performance over the original release.
"No Man's Sky - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings this excellent, constantly evolving space survival adventure to your new Nintendo console in fine style. This is an almost-perfect match for other versions of the game, barring some very minor hiccups here and there.
Combat is still a bit naff, especially in space, and hardcore pirates might not get all they need from the systems in place here, but other than that, this is an almost perfect port of an almighty behemoth of a game. The sky, it seems, really has no limits." - PJ O'Reilly | NintendoLife
Do it! It's still on sale until next week, then score your free upgrade.
It's so nice being able to continue our save from other platforms while on the go. (For me, PS5, PC & VR) I'm headed out of town this weekend and I plan on taking it with me. :)
