the game is amazing and deserve all the success. I hope Ubisoft don't turn this franchise into an annual series.
PS4 absolutely killed it. They better not rin this with yearly releases. 1 game every 2 years is perfect. If they want to milk it release an expansion for the gap year similar to blood dragoon.
I don't think a 2 year release cycle is good enough. The game feels too similar, which isn't completely bad. Many who enjoyed the game wish they diversified the game a bit more. In fact, all of Ubisoft's products are too homogenized.
But man, 54% of week 1 retail sales from PS4 is quite surprising.
Wow! sales looking good an both PlayStation platforms! Look like PlayStation might easily take holiday software lead...
seems Ubisoft has the better games lately otherwise people wouldnt complain (care) about them in the first place. EA and Activison had their days obviously.
i bet far cry 5 is already in development
They said that there will be no Blood Dragon 2.
