I beat The Evil Within 2 and enjoyed it! I took my time and put 20 hours in and now I'm playing Assassins Creed Origins and enjoying it! As soon as I'm done Wolfenstein 2 it is. As for Battlefront 2 maybe around Christmas and pre owned. I haven't bought a Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 2 so.....

I got my Wolfenstein! No way I'm not playing this game. I've been waiting for it since the other one came out. SO GOOD.

Could someone explain why publishers put all their focus on releasing their games between September to November yet rest of the year is open and a lot less competition

Games like nioh, neir, horizon, persona 5 etc proved that launching early in the year will make just as much money all sold million plus

A game like evil within 2 would do great in July or August. A game like wolfenstein would do grey between March or April

Sony has it figured it so do many Japanese publishers look at Capcom and resident evil 7 a know ip yet still launched in January instead of October

Than publishers blame gamers for not supporting yet how can they expect us to support every single game between September to November

Time to change thinking and focus on all year round product releasing

It has little to do with single player games, dying because in actuality they're not. It has more to do with the release schedule that these publishers put them out. Putting The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein II out within weeks of each other in october is just flat out retarded on bethesdas part. You are suppose to release those games during the summer where there isn't much coming out, not near the quarter where the biggest blockbusters come out. The failure of those single player games falls directly on the publishers themselves. They commit that stupidity continually.

Just played first 3 missions, game is amazing. Gameplay is better, graphics and sound are top notch and soundtrack is typical Mick Gordon, badass and loud

Im loving wolfy atm. Oh my the oscar winning scenes feel right outta tarintino.

This sort of things happens every year unfortunately. I recall Titanfall 2 was released in a during crowded release schedule and suffered for it last year. Even good games can be hit by it.

At least Wolfenstein will get another boost when it launches on Switch in 2018. It will prob get more people to buy the game when they ads for it again.

I'm still going to give Wolf and Doom the buy they deserve soon. Both on Switch.
To me, it doesn't really matter what else they're up against; if they're good games, they'll stay on my wish list no matter how they compare to other games coming out at the time.

Anyone who has played Wolfenstein: The New Blood should know that that Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is worth getting and now! I got it a day early and I have been playing it since and I am glad that I missed out on Battlefront 2 and Call of Duty WWII in order to buy Wolfenstein, Mario Odyssey, and Evil Within 2.

It is a pity that Wolfenstein and Evil Within 2 have both arrived during the October/November rush and many gamers will probably opt for Battlefront and COD instead even though I 'll bet neither are as good as the single player games. The last Wolfenstein came out in May and I was surprised this one arrived during the Holiday rush but either Bethesda felt that game was strong enough or it has a crap marketing strategy.

Both games are very good and I hope they sell well.

Who likes horror games and shooters( and there are a lot of People) will buy it over any star wars and other mp focused games. Lot of People dont like space shooters and some do, but feel sorry for a game release is just stupid. When they delay game it is not good, when they release game soon, again it is not good. Make up your mind

Bethesda studios have nothing to prove to EA. They make single player games, they don’t have the same pressure that ea studios do.

It was not right to shit down visceral, they are an old studio that never made a bad game. I wish publishers would sell their studios off instead of liquifying them but that’s just how it goes.

This whole panic mode about single player games is funny to me because it feels like we had this exact same discussion a couple years ago, when Titanfall and Battlefront launched without a campaign mode. Six months later, nobody cared anymore.

I suppose it's cyclical, but still, it would be nice if we could spend, say, a month without getting worked up about "the future of videogames".

Even worse when I see people who somehow believe that the future of single player games depends on Wolfenstein (those same people go on to berate Bethesda for launching it alongside Mario and AC... which are also single player games).

I must be the only one who's not worried at all. Single player will never go extinct, because if that happened, the multiplayer-only market would become too crowded (it already is, with a few big names taking the majority of the players share)... and then someone would get the idea of trying a single player game again.

Come on people this naiveness has to stop. Single player isn’t dying, stop listening to what your told & look at the facts.

They’re trying to kill single player because of greed. To upsell on a single player game it costs more money because there’s story, writing, voice acting etc. Up selling multiplayer games is easy no real work is needed as it’s just using recycled & cut assets. Therefor it costs them very little or even nothing but yet raking it in.

Gaming is no longer a hobby for developers it been turned into “just business” by these big money hungry publishers. That’s why when you see these people playing games they’re so terrible that we all shout out that our nans could play the game better. All they care about is making as much money as possible while putting in the littlest cost to themselves. Simple.

Well it's been in the top 2 on steam since launch if that's any indication.

I bought all 3 of the best games in October. Mario, Evil within 2 and Wolfenstein and they are all fantastic games and will sell very well despite what people keep implying about Bethesda`s marketing they know exactly what they are doing.

I'll just buy the games i like. Like i'm sure many will. In this case: Mario and Wolfenstein. I'm always kinda hyped for AC, but i'm quickly bored when i actually play one (aside from AC2).

I don't play that many single player games , but I will be buying The New Wolfenstein_ game.

It came out the same day as Super Mario Odyssey and AC Origins. It's going to be an uphill battle for Wolfenstein 2.

Good thing they have skyrim! The cow they have milked so hard it's nipples have scabs and if you squeeze them just right it emits one more cloud of dehydrated milk dust otherwise known as Skyrim VR.

This guy is eminently full of it. Paragraph after paragraph, he completely misses the mark. And what the hell does EA's closing Visceral have to do with Wolfenstein II, a *Bethesda* game? I searched down his misguided prose, and got nothing.

Evil within is an excellent game. Worth an award or two. Much better than the first one.

Bought digital copy of Wolfenstein 2 as the games are fantastic. Absolutely love it. I don't feel sorry for the games I thank devs who continue to make primarily sp games for gamers like me. Will also get The Evil Within 2 as soon as I finish the first. Delay them for what, these companies to show revenue this fiscal year, I don't see what delaying them would achieve. Gamers like me buy games as soon as they are released year round but most probably buy around the holidays, so this is the best time to release your games.

This debate is an easy one for me. I am in my forties been gaming since the late 70s, own almost every console between then and now, plus own all my favorite arcade games on my pc, so I prefer sp to online, if devs don't want to make anymore sp games, I am fine with that. They won't get anymore money from me, and I am fine with that as I have decades worth of great games.

This is all concern-troll and media fed drama.
October has ALWAYS been a busy month. SP games are not going away, MP only games do not appeal to everyone, the industry will balance itself out because how that is how the free market works.

Evil Within 2 seems to stand out above all other releases for anyone interested in a meaningful game experience.

Make a quality single player experience and i will buy it, otherwise I don't bother. Simple as that..

Vote with your wallet and buy SP games if you want devs to keep making them

Well, if people were more choosy about their purchases, these games wouldn't be ignored.

All the multiplayer first titles seem to have micros and lootboxes, which should be a turn off for everyone but casual gamers. Hell, the amount of people I see that can't wait for SWBF2 and it's basically a pay to win game is ridiculous.

Seriously... 'I can't wait to buy a £45 game, just to spend another £300 so I can compete!'. Idiots.

If gaming turns into GaaS, I really hope the publishers and companies pushing it end up with nobody but a couple of 'whales' to put them under.

I bought this,TEW2 & Death of an Outsider for my support of single player games by Bethesda.I have a great job & I will continue to buy & support single player games of my interest.

why would anyone play evil within 2 when there is a first one that already proves boredom is real? also the new colossus... cool first one. this one will be cool, too, just more of the same and therefore underwhelming.

picked it up with mario and assassins creed.

Wolfenstein 2 is my first choice, and you know what! I also bought Mario Odessey and I still didn't open the game yet! I am so damn hooked with Wolfenstein and its awesome level design, gameplay and story.

I just don’t get why the keep releasing these great single player games in the most busy season of the year. To launch head to head with Mario and Assasins Creed. Why? I want them to keep making these games but they are making poor decisions. Why is no one learning from the last few years.

Yeah that wasnt smart to release it this next month would've been better

Welcome to the next step in the industry of capitalism.
