Razer has revealed their new V3 Line for the Kishi mobile platform.
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.
Replies(2)If you look closer again, then you'll notice that I, at any point, didn't even mentioned the adjective "bad".
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.

This is awful, take 2 will ruin Codemasters racing franchises and will load them with MTs.
