I dunno, a new release getting 3rd (sixth at the time of writing) the day after release doesn't seem that good a sign. Since this is a massive release I'd think it'd get higher. I don't really pay much attention to Twitch though, so I could be full of it. It seems to me anything about its success or failure will come out over the following days. Enough people will have bought it at launch to propel it to any bestseller list. But they would have bought it almost no matter what. Mostly people who genuinely liked the first game, and went in trying to avoid spoilers. No, what matters is what they tell other people. Those who don't really care one way or another. They're going to hear about it from those who pre-ordered it. Are they going to like what they hear? That is the true question.As usual, gamers talk a big...game, but look how many rushed out to D1P this shit bomb. 3rd most viewers on Twitch right now. I mean I guess for the paid content creators it's worth it, but I wouldn't have bothered with all the warning signs, only then to complain that the warning signs were legit. All the ragging and hand wringing doesn't mean much when you are funding this garbage at the same time kek.
this game probably already turned a profit and the third game is already being plannedWe are all having a good laugh at the memes, what a disaster this is and how the idiots who made this will probably never work again.
But lets not forget, probably a $100 million plus was spent on this. Loads of talent wasted. Same for all the other AAA trash games. And there is only so much investor money floating around funding these projects. This was $100 million that could have been spent to make something amazing.
I really hope this is the trigger for investors to not want any of these virtue signalling assholes use games a political propaganda, and will cause a purge in gaming studio ranks to bring back the actual talent and create more good old fashioned good games.
Not even remotely the same scenario.this game probably already turned a profit and the third game is already being plannedWe are all having a good laugh at the memes, what a disaster this is and how the idiots who made this will probably never work again.

A bunch of people said the same thing about Andromeda when they were crowing about LUL LOOK AT THE SALES INCELS ANDROMEDA 2 COMING SOON.
Sony isn't going to thrown more money on this trash fire. They're going to do some NDA focus groups, find out the depth of the hatred that their previous fan base has for this game, and they'll quietly pull the plug. Probably with some crap about how the 'story is finished'.
However, I think there is something more than just ideology here, there is the ideology that works as a convenient excuse, however, notice that Cuckman lives on the shadow of Amy Hennig, also Rian Johnson is nothing next George Lucas, notice that these people live on the shadow of much better people and they have a desire to destroy those people legacy because they are aware they are impotent as creators, notice their burning desire to destroy but their impotence at creating, the death of old characters on this game isnt the worst thing about it but how all new characters are incredible shiet.I don't dispute that maybe these guys have had genuine and sincere motivations for what they are doing
Except for the deconstruction of Joel, conspicuously similar to the deconstruction of Luke and Picard.
Not that hard to figure out why are all the woke authors doing this - to symbolically destroy the patriarchal past full of positive straight white male heroes. There's nothing sincere or genuine about that, they're not even upfront about it. It's slimy, stealthy and spiteful.
All the fans that still doesn't see what is being done to their favourite IPs are the biggest fools. Woke left is pissing in their mouths and calling it rain and they still dumbly wonder where is that sour taste in their mouth coming from.
Tell that to Ubisoft with Ass Creed Syndicate and Watch Dogs 2, people will punish a sequel heavily if the previous game was a disaster, Ubisoft lost millions and millions of dollars in potential revenue because of their incompetence. People are impulsive buyers but eventually they learn through pain.this game probably already turned a profit and the third game is already being plannedWe are all having a good laugh at the memes, what a disaster this is and how the idiots who made this will probably never work again.

Developers are impressed with The Last of Us: Part 2’s rope physics
The interactive rope in The Last of Us: Part 2 has developers, artists, and programmers giving huge props to Naughty Dog.
A scene showing the rope in action can be watched in this The Last of Us: Part 2 clip which was posted to Twitter.

Yes, most user review are likely new accounts from people who didn't play the game.I am not a console tard and I have never played TLOU but I can tell something is wrong.

No, storytelling in videogames is awful and it always will be because 1) talented writers work on other media; 2) it diminishes the gameplay. Videogames should stop wasting time with storytelling.Games have enormous potential for storytelling precisely because of their interactivity, but none of it's going to be realized as long as game writers pretend to be movie directors and treat gameplay and story as separate things. Freedom of choice is a strength, a unique feature that no other medium can offer except in very limited ways (like CYOA books), yet it's treated as some sort of a hindrance that needs to be suppressed at every turn, just so that the story can play out the exact way it was intended to. Can't let the player screw up the big story moments by doing something that isn't in the script.In general tho I increasingly believe games will never be able to hold a candle to movies and books narrative-wise, precisely because they are interactive.
As long as your primary way of telling your story is through non-interactive cutscenes, you're not making proper use of your medium.
Every frame of this is a delight.

The Last Jedi actually acknowledges and completes the themes of Episode 1-3 (mostly about how the Jedi caused their own downfall for caring too much about dogmas while ignoring their feelings) In the end Luke does exactly the opposite, so in fact the movie enriches the series' legacy.However, I think there is something more than just ideology here, there is the ideology that works as a convenient excuse, however, notice that Cuckman lives on the shadow of Amy Hennig, also Rian Johnson is nothing next George Lucas, notice that these people live on the shadow of much better people and they have a desire to destroy those people legacy because they are aware they are impotent as creators, notice their burning desire to destroy but their impotence at creating, the death of old characters on this game isnt the worst thing about it but how all new characters are incredible shiet.

There is probably no way Sony pulls EA with "fixing the ending" of Mass Effect 3*? I wish Sony would just straight up fired Druckmann and announced this whole game as non-canon. Would be epic. They probably won't do anything unless their shares start to drop.A bunch of people said the same thing about Andromeda when they were crowing about LUL LOOK AT THE SALES INCELS ANDROMEDA 2 COMING SOON.

The "too violent, too bleak" shouldn't be there. It isn't real criticism.What part from TLOU2 did you dislike the most?
"The Last of Us 2 is a terrible game"If you got a review copy and you badmouthed the game then you would probably get blacklisted by Sony. That pretty much explain the 10/10 scores.
