I agree with you on the game so far but this is pretty false.
1) Rise of the Tomb Raider -Probably the only title on this list that can stand up to AAA scrutiny
2) Xcom 2 -Great game, but far too niche
3) Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen for PC -Nobody cares about Dragon's Dogma
4) Dying Light: The Following -Good DLC, but DLC nonetheless
5) Street Fighter 5 (if that's your thing) -Sorry, but fighting games will never be classified as blockbusters, except Smash Bros
6) Far Cry Primal (Was shit and won't play it until it's on sale but captured a lot of attention)People have already caught on to the Far Cry recycled cash-grab
7) Heavy Rain for PS4 (In case no one played it for PS3) -Nobody cares about Heavy Rain
8) Zelda Twilight Princess HD -Another remake/rehash. Nope.
9) Fire Emblem Fates -Again, massively niche
Going forward into June/July:
Yeah, June/July. Still three months away. Not relevant to this discussion.
Oh okGames have come out, but none of them are blockbusters. I'm talking about polished, mass-market appeal games that make for good watercooler talk. Dragon's Dogma? The Heavy Rain re-release? Sorry, that's laughably niche gaming. Also note that every game you listed is either a sequel or a re-release. The Division is a brand-new tentpole AAA title.
Closest thing to that happening is probably Tomb Raider releasing the same day as Fallout 4.I can't honestly recall a time when a game fucking tanked because something else released alongside it. That list contains so many fucking different genres. The only reason I could imagine is because people are too poor to buy all the 17 games they want released in February or whatever and end up picking them up later, haha.
I mean, yeah, we hear the excuse all the time but can it actually be true? What's a good example of two games of huge magnitude that are even on production value that ended up conflicting so much that one tanked the other? If they are the same genre I could see it reasonably happening in a case or two, but other than that...
I'm only level 15, but the deadzone hasn't been too terrible since I have a group of four friends that I always play with. I mean we end up getting demolished most of the time, but I think it's worth a look before you hit 30.I'd recommend not bothering with DZ until you hit 30, at 30 you get much better drops and killing PVE mobs gives a LOT more xp/cash so below that is kinda pointless.
