Is RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER already dead before it even gets released??

[SNG]

They need to change the date too many heavy hitters around that time.

Especially the fact that the only reason the last tomb raider ate good was because it was multiplat.

So would I get this over fallout?

Even better question. I think the average gamer will cop 2 or 3 games every holiday season. If I had a flat top box I would cop halo 5 . fallout 4. Star wars Battlefront. Would you put tomb raider above any of those??

I don't care what you will get....that's irrelevant....what will the masses get, one or both?

I meant you not I.

And the masses will get star wars , fallout , cod, halo. All wayyyyyyyy more popular than tomb raider.

Pull the Xbox controller out your ass for once

Why would they release it on the same day as FALLOUT 4??? thats just not good business....

the holiday season is always a busy time for games

Pretty generic no meaning post here.

Ultimately people have limited money to spend. Commercial gamers are likely to trump for CoD over TR, real gamers are likely to trump for Fallout 4 over TR. The unfortunate release date will definitely hurt their opening sales and within lose word of mouth momentum.

Really bad decision releasing it on Xbox only, like most of us called 1 year ago. If it was on PS4 too, it'd have waayyyy more hype and be able to slug it out with most of Fall's heavy hitters.

Plus it's on the wrong system. Sony fans are way more receptive to games like Tomb Raider than Microsoft fans. Over the past 10 years, MS has built up an audience that is largely just interested in military/macho shooters, Wrpgs and racing games. They don't wanna play as a chick, lol, straight up. Look at the numbers: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Ps4 outsold the Xbox version 2:1. The Tomb Raider fanbase been on the Sony side for 15 years.

The sad part is Rise of the Tomb Raider will be a fukking great game. I know me personally ima like it more than every Fall game save MGSV. But most Xbox gamers are more interested in CoD, Fallout and Halo.

So all I can say is, if it underperforms, I hope the PS4 version gives it a second life, and I really hope Square Enix recognize how dumb they were making it Xbox exclusive. It's got the potential to be a monster franchise, don't stunt it's growth you fukks.

Some of these titles are getting gangbanged in that quarter. I guarantee one of them is gonna run like Watch Dogs did facing GTAV.

All jokes aside, that is a terrible time to release this game.

They need to move it up if they can.
