quick result:
“winner” Unity messed up with indie developers
2nd EOY studio closures and people being fired
3rd The Day Before from Fntastic
4th Launch prices at 70 bucks
5th Shoddy PC ports
6th Bethesda explaining to reviewers they are wrong
7th GTA VI is a console exclusive from Rockstar
head to the spreadsheet for details based on 13 respondent.
GTA VI as a console exclusive is a non-issue.
Every GTA game starting with 3 launched on consoles first.
1 was on PC first, 2 was day and date with console.
So from 2001 forward, consoles got them first.
Same thing with launch prices.
Especially considering games have become infinitely more complex and expensive to make, it’s a miracle they are still this cheap.
I’m still convinced the King Kong game, the Gollum game, and Redfall were money laundering schemes or something
I’m a little surprised The Day Before didn’t get at least 2nd.
#4 - remember ActivMicroLizzard is about to release an expansion to a meh game with about 3% of the content of their free to play rival for $100.
What’s the meh game?
Diablo IV
I think calling D4 a meh game is not really truthful. For the target audience, myself included, it was great value for it’s price considering the hours of entertainment it offered.
It will remain to be seen how the expansion is, I’m not holding my breath based on the information available.
Didn’t even have an option for Forza 8 being “built from the ground up” out of a pile of shit?
