The game has fallen out of almost all Top 10 charts. In some countries, it sells now less than older games like Spiderman. The boxes are almost glued into the shelves of the retailers and special / collectors edition are still available.

In addition, you can find it used for 25 dollars or less.

It is a massive sales drop. While initially it sold amazing, now it is almost gone.

Also, there seems to be no fanbase, no positive word to mouth. While you find viral stuff about Ghost of Tsushima outside of games media, you did not find anything about the Last of Us 2.

 

[Yoshichan]

Gee I wonder why

 

[aries_71]

I’m trying to forget it. You are not helping.

 

[cudiye]

False advertisement of joel in the trailers and fans of the first game who went blind led to the 4 million units shipped to retailers.

I’m glad the game got leaked, saved me a lot of money.

 

[GHG]

Personally I'm not touching the game with a bargepole until it's at bargain basement prices. At this rate it won't be too much longer. I didn't like the first one, but the second one looks like a significant step up gameplay wise but I'm in no rush.

 

[Akuji]

How the fuck is there no fan base? I read all the time how people love the game. Game sold amazingly so potential buyers have it already.

Multi million selling game and people pretend like it did not good. Lol

 

[Ulysses 31]

Too many gamers can't handle women in lead roles, OP, especially muscular ones.

And yet it manages to live rent free in everyone's head.

When you compare this to the first game; which sold 20 mil. Its a pretty fucking failure of a game.

Did you see viral posts about the Last of Us 2? For Ghost of Tsushima you see a lot, on imageboards for example.

Same goes for fanart, there is tons more for Ghost now and the game is newer.

If it has a fanbase, they are closed community.

 

[Valonquar]

Because everyone that gave a shit already bought it, or is waiting for that drop to sub $20

The fan base that DOES exist are full of hardcore fans that will defend it until the end of time. I just never felt there was a ton of replay value at all, so it was a large one and done scenario for the majority of players. At least that's what I think.

 

[DForce]

It sold 20 million in 6 years when it was bundled with PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles.

Do you actually researched this or not?

Yeah well, some folks just find it hard to look away from a car crash.

as i've stated on multiple posts i fucking loved every minute of it, but like the movie the Road which i consider a masterpiece.. its a fucking emotional slog going through it the first time, so for me whilst i have no desire to replay it doesn't detract one iota from the game, i may revisit a few levels if they release a PS5 patch

The game was made to be divisive.

People are still walking about it weeks later and that's exactly what Neil wanted.

To say that the game fell out of almost all Top 10 charts is false.

 

[Arun1910]

I don't get these hate threads every few days. Does it really bother you that much? Or are you trying to change the opinion of people that liked it to make them rethink if its good based on cumulative sales up to this point?

Also in any medium, people whose voices are the loudest are ones that hate things.

I liked the game, who else did or who didn't doesnt bother me, because games are my own experience and not influenced by others.

 

[Lupingosei]

The Last of Us sales top 17 million copies across PS3 and PS4

Now you know why they’re making a sequel

www.polygon.com

The first one sold long-term and stayed in the charts forever and that why it is different now. The sales are short term and it fell out of the charts faster.

 

[Redlancet]

more they cant look away from their own bigotry,console wars ,inmadurity and bad taste

 

[The_Mike]

Too many gamers can't handle women in lead roles, OP, especially muscular ones.

Meanwhile tomb raider, horizon zero dawn, and other games with female roles sells fine. Stop being delusional.

If you said no one enjoys a tranny in a leading role, then there were no lies in your post. But there's more reason behind the hate than that.

Does Joel ring a bell? Or are you an resistant golf clubber?

 

[TheContact]

TLOU1 and 2 are both one of those one-and-done games which are better to rent than own imo. I had no interest in playing it because I got a lot of enjoyment watching someone else play it instead.

 

[alstrike]

Another TLOU2 hate thread, you guys are trying too hard.

Sure did buddy.

My point is, if the first game did 20 mil copies sold, theoretically having 20 million fans give or take, regardless if it was bundled or not.

You would expect the sequel to one of sony’s most beloved highly anticipated franchise to perform better.

Because right now, it has fallen out of the top 10s, sales have dropped drastically week on week, divided the fanbase and its been beaten by GoT, which by the way is a new IP.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Funny to see the followers of the haters have only one truth. Ik loved the game and I loved the way the story unfolds in the fact that there are no absolutes. At one point my cousin came to me and asked: he I saw you are playing tluo2. Is it really as bad as the internet says it is? It's funny cuz somehow the work of the haters really had effect.

 

[Lupingosei]

To say that the game fell out of almost all Top 10 charts is false.

It is out in the UK, US, Japan, Australia, Germany. Where is it still in?

 

[Warnen]

I felt more for the robot in titian fall 2 then all the unlikeable characters in TLoU2 put together.

 

[John254]

I told it before reviews dropped
Difference between TLOU 1 and TLOU 2 is, that while both games will get insane critic scores, nobody will give a damn about TLOU 2 in few months after release. Unlike first game

Nah dawg, it's because of Trump that in the last couple of years all these gamers came out of the woodworks.

Most games are when compared to the 1st game going by your logic

Already

I've seen the gameplay. No woman can be that buffed. It has no tits and a boys face.

Last of Us 3 starts with Joel waking up. Ugh what a bad dream, must have been that bad can I tuna I ate...

I hear ya man, I personally think it's a fine game, I just don't see myself replaying it at all. Doesn't mean it's awful or bad in anyway though. I definitely see a number of folks doing that.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Yeah for me also the game does not invite me to play it again. But neither did God of war or the first one. It's a big fat sp experience that takes about 40 hours. But I will defend the game against people who just did not play it and try to force an opinion as hear say or those who have a agenda to hate the game. If this kind of games are not you taste then we'll no problem.

 

[A Rifter in Space]

Naw, it's just fun to rile up the sycophants who defend an objective piece of trash. It never fails to get responses because it's so easy to tear down and expose as a piece of agitprop garbage. That's why I always respond anyway.

Everything after Ellie smoking the bad weed turned out to be non canon.

 

[NeonDelta]

Most people that wanted it probably bought it as soon as it came out.

I haven't seen media coverage of either game recently.

I personally haven't touched GOT since the day I bought it. LOU2 I played every single second I had spare until I completed it.

 

[Vawn]

People are obsessed with this game.

Yeah, very true, haha. TLOU2 is also just emotionally trying. I can totally understand it. As I mentioned above, I think it's a fine game, I just don't care enough to defend it I suppose, but that's just me. But I also think it's because it's like this loop that never stops and there's no point in getting involved. The amount of sporadic hate it received is pretty impressive.

Them: Sales doesn't mean a game is good

Also them: See I told you TLOU 2 is shit, look at how it's selling

 

[//DEVIL//]

No the game is shit with agenda behind it. go defend it in reeera. they will love you there. people here just say the truth without worried of getting banned by trans mods just because we do not agree with them.

They killed the most important person in the game just to be led by an angry lesbian.

Dude the guy who created the game him self said he has an agenda behind the story when he was developing the game. something something about his daughter something

You don't realize that bulk of the sales are made during the first few months and during the holidays. Bundles were released shortly after the game released and re-released again with the remaster.


God of War was top charts, yet took almost a year to reach 10 million, which is without a bundle. You can see how bundles impacted those numbers. Yes, you guys haven't done much research.

The more amusing thing now is those saying that there was no crash tbh
