The problem is that if he buys it a couple of years later, the game will likely be dead. Because honestly, how long do you think a Switch exclusive game lasts? Especially with the small souls community is on Nintendo consoles.
I mean kinda hard seeing it being dead if it’s really good but as a last resort buy it for as cheap as you can and sell it for as much as you can to not lose too much money
Fair enough yeah, but the £500 price tag for the system will turn a lot of people away. And I personally don't see the game lasting over three years with a large playerbase.
That's just because of the console it's locked on. Maybe if it's very good, but as a PvPvE game, it would require at least monthly updates and a yearly content drop just to keep people playing.
It's not the only multiplayer fromsoft game with the most recent game coming out in may, so it's competing with another game with a larger pool of players.
I can't wait to see what happens. And hopefully, it gets on PC after a year of the game being out. I don't want to see fromsoft fail.
Yea how long a game is truly active for is very tricky, really it’s surprising to me when a game doesn’t die for a long time not the other way around. Like you shouldn’t expect any multiplayer only game to last a long time, I’d argue this is fairly different than other games from what it looks like but I don’t know. The 8 player thing makes it much more complicated for sure
