Kojima is an android from the future.DS1 was such a well timed game that it’s almost prophetic as much as his other ones.
It’s gonna be hard to top the first one but I’m hoping to be surprised.
It’s a pretty divisive game critically.10+ million units.......acquired taste?
I take it you are a Square-Enix executive.
Really.......I thought you did......good to know though,hope they keep it the same.You didn't need PS+ with the first game on PS5 even for the online stuff.
It’s a pretty divisive game critically.
I’m not talking about the commercial success of the game. A lot of discourse after it was released was about how it was a boring Amazon delivery simulator in a post apocalyptic world.
Sorry for not being saneHow many games come out that are actually universally loved?
Alot of the discourse around near every game will be about the perceived negatives.
God of War: Ragna could be a considered an acquired taste by your standards cuz people thought it dragged on, hated playing as Atreus, thought the combat didnt evolve, didnt like graphics, said it was DLC and I could go on and on.....it still sold 10+ million units so no sane person would really say it was an acquired taste.
How Death Stranding with similar sales and critical reception can be called an acquired taste is beyond me.
Because it shatters expectations and is a 'boring game' to most people nowadays with an attention span shaped by 24hours news cycles and daily social media doomscrolling.How many games come out that are actually universally loved?

Is this a serious question...?If I were a successful studio I would wanna own and grow the IP, no??
Where is the 10 million number coming from? Is that the same number that includes PC + Gamepass?
Wait you forgot to add 5 million epic games free downloads, 16 million GamePass downloads and all those hours people will spend on streaming, so yeah we are looking at a 70-85M Range.It will debut at over 2 million copies sold on PS5 during its launch, then maybe be around the 4M mark by the time the PC version arrives, say, half a year later. That'll push the sales to over 5M copies during its first year. Then we'll see the release of Mac and iPhone versions, so by the time the generation is over and PS6 comes out in 2028, I think that DS2 might find itself in the 10-13M range.
