Lately more and more publishers are going for staggered releases where Ultimate editions of the games get unlocked few days earlier. And honestly that kinda ruins game releases (at least for me). Game releases don't feel like events anymore. This year Anthem was first one where i kinda didn't feel like game was released, if there wasn't that much controversy about it it would be even quieter. Then it was Gears 5, same thing game was just released and now same happened to Ghost Recon Breakpoint. I simply don't have feeling that Ubisoft released big budged AAA game 2 days ago.
TloU Part 2 Outbreak Day previews were bigger event than some of these full game releases. I have no doubt that Cyberpunk 2077, FFVII Remake, TLoU2 and few other games will have proper launches that feel like something big is coming but i can't shake the feeling that we see less and less launches like that. I mean it doesn't help that we are getting less and less games and kinda more mediocre ones either.
What Era thinks, do you prefer one release day launch with big event or these staggered releases with less buzz around them?
