Nearly 15 million players and they announced 10 million sales.
Yeah man, you are right.
God of War in the same time frame has millions of borrowed games while TLOU2 are all sales, game is going to sell more than God of War and Spiderman, all hail Neil Cuckman.

Not sure what you mean by "what ND is doing". Is it AAA story driven games? There are loads of those around, with equal and larger scales even:What other games are doing what ND are doing, on that scale and with the same ambition? Name some. I can wait.
What are the real Sales numbers?Can't tell which I prefer, the threads gloating about TLOU II's alleged failure or the ones gloating about its alleged success!
I know, but I personally digging combat section and it looks pretty fast paced
I personally like how combat looks but that doesn't mean it gonna be true for everyone else.
Watch the combat section and see if you like it or not.
u digesting shit? let me give you a nice cover:Loved TLoU1.
Can only play TLoU2 for an hour at a time.
GoT is always 5-7 hour sessions for me.
Somebody posted. Then somebody else posted. Fuck him.How does this have seven pages?
From one perspective, I respect the fact that ND defended their vision and the game they wanted to make, instead of simply delivering what people expected from them. What bothers me, though, is that they're coming around as so closed from any sort of criticism, instead of being open-minded, taking notes, reflecting and trying to learn a little bit about what happened.
They obviously fucked it up big time from a business perspective. They could've told a story artistically just as good or better without alienating their audience, and save themselves from all the backlash they've got. I still can't believe Sony greenlighted that story.
As reference, in gamstats TLOU1 for PS3 shows around 3.5M users in the same period (slightly under 3 months).
For being a narrative driven game, the narrative sucks ass, and that's why this is happening.And? So what? I get it, the sequel didn't fulfill you, Joel wasn't avenged and you found out you have no empathy. I mean are we gonna start looking at all games that fell out of the top 20? It's not the most repayable of games and the story was fucking exhausting. I played it once and sold it to recover 90 percent of what I paid for it.
It is however an incredible technical achievement. Every fucking ounce of that 1.84 flops has been squeezed to death.
And here is video of whats 13 Sentinels is all about.Thought to give this a short look, watched the whole vid. Dang, very nice, thank you.
And they would have be able to do that with "kissing, taking shirt off, fades black, showing them naked on the bed". Incredible how sony allowed that but fucking censor everything japanese. California was a mistake.Coz we needed drama about humans cheating rather than get to know more about the world and the infected.
Funny thing is in Catherine most characters are older than Abby and Ellie but if that game had sex scene, it would have been censored. Heck to this day that didn't stop people from calling Catherine "porn" game.And they would have be able to do that with "kissing, taking shirt off, fades black, showing them naked on the bed". Incredible how sony allowed that but fucking censor everything japanese. California was a mistake.
Also realize those are players not salesGamstat says it has 6.4M users, 450K of them in the last month. Games typically have a 2 months or so release sales peak, and then go way down to almost zero until discounted, added to Plus or Now, etc, or when re-released with goty editions or get important DLC/updates. This time I assume there's going to be a peak with the PS5 launch too.

So we are not allowed to like fictional characters?
So I guess Agatha Christie should have killed off Hercule Poirot after a few novels, or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle should have killed off Sherlock Holmes after a few novels.
Or how about our favorite super heroes?
Weird coming from a guy who's primary job is story telling.
After a statement like that, he should consider another job.
I believe it was his personal politics that is the main concern here, and why the game is not going to sell anywhere near the original. It's the main reason why I refuse to buy it.
They went from being my favorite developer to the developer that has leprosy. Never touching their games again, unless he's gone from the company.
Excuse me why I eat my bigot sandwhich.

This from my personal opinion.....Ghosts of Tsushima is almost as dark as TLOU2 and nobody accuses it of not being fun. I love GOT but this is the truth. It's also funny how the gameplay first crowd doesn't give it any credit for vastly improved gameplay over the first.
Naughty Dog earned the opportunity to release a bad game after so many game of the year award winning games, nobody expected the sequel to one of their many franchises to miss wildly but I'm very curious how the release of the PS5 will effect it's sales.
Honestly people need to get over Joel. He was a great character but he is not Batman and should not be immune to the world he lived in. He did a lot of bad things and one of them came back to haunt him. TLOU always was an arthouse game and the fact that some fans thought it was Star Wars or something is not ND's fault. If I want feel good super hero stuff I will play Spiderman.
Did you play either the first part or the second?The weird obsession some people have with this game is... really weird.
um....because its his game? Devs should be making the game they want to make instead of just trying please fans.But Druckman thought it was a good idea because well... it was HIS idea.

That tweet was in response to someone saying the death threats were justified.So we are not allowed to like fictional characters?

I should be more clear. I was referring to WOKE garbage, not games made by the abcdefg community. I suspect Mario is lgbqt and you can give me that shit all day.There's not much more cash in the woke cookie jar to fund your gaytopia takeover. At the end of the day, normies can't relate, but we still love ya, *pat pat.
Probably because there's no point.Why dont game producers just hire professional screenwriters?... theres room in the budget for some creative talent moneyhatting. Especially when it comes to games that try to be movies. Its obvious to everyone by now that "game writers" are b-tier.
I go on a murderous rampage, taking out whole towns, to get revenge on the new boyfriend, only to finally capture him, and just let him go
His idea was rejected multiple times in the past, and was Bruce Straley who kept him in check and thanks to him he is where he is right now.um....because its his game? Devs should be making the game they want to make instead of just trying please fans.
but the game did sell well....What is happening with TLOU2 sales is because he didnt give a fuck about anything he did in the past, neither fans or the characters he created, and neither he cared about a coherent history and characters for TLOU2. Everything he cared about was accomplishing the goal of doing whatever his ballsack wanted because he thinks he is the next Spielberg or something.
What have been the sales since the first week (sales could also mean sold to retailers that first week)?I think trying to come at this game from a commercial perspective isnt the smartest move, it did really well
That article posted right above my original post by Eurogamer has already guaranteed it as one of Sonys biggest successes everWhat have been the sales since the first week (sales could also mean sold to retailers that first week)?
The game got some bad word of mouth and we will have to wait and see how that affects it in the long run
First week numbersThat article posted right above my original post by Eurogamer has already guaranteed it as one of Sonys biggest successes ever
I know a lot of people dont like the game, there is no point in trying to somehow tear it down from a commercial perspective because those perspectives would be unequivocally wrong
Opinions are on thing, but numbers dont really lie
