"From bad marketing to confusing release dates, Battlefield V's launch is shaping up to be a mess." Says Forbes.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
Taking into account the skin’s styles, inspiration and final product, we’re going to rank every skin from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass in order from worst to best
Seriously, you have the 9th, 15th and 20th?
Just release it on the 9th and let the people who wanna play your game play it.
"More than anything, it feels like EA and DICE are simply very out-of-touch with their target demographic. By all means, include women in the game, but don't try to earn brownie points by making it seem like you're championing some social cause"
I totally agree with this.
The BF V is not launching with a lot of content which may encourage potential buyers to hold off on buying the game.
I have EA Access and Pre-ordered the standard edition. I still ahve 1-2 hours left on my trial then I have to wait until 20th. For me this is fine. The way I look at this is offering an incentive or benefit to buying the deluxe edition or subscribing to premium (Which is only PC for now).
Even at that it wasn't enough of an incentive or bonus to make me spend more money to get the deluxe edition. I already subscribed to EA Access and would not have started only to play this game early.
What would the difference be if the whole game released on 20th with no early access? People who paid more would complain that they didn't get enough for their money.
I think it's fine.
It goes a lot deeper than just bad marketing, it is also a PR disaster and Soderland is front and centre of that.
It doesn't help either that the game is released as an unfinished buggy mess.
