Welp, Sorry guys. Breaks UK sales records, Sony's fastest selling game in UK. If this continues in America, then all the online outrage will be useless.

Sony is going to sell lots of copies, then release it again in a few months on PS5 and sell even more copies. If they lose profits this time, it will be because of no multiplayer and microtransactions like the first game.

And oblivion sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, your point?

Fail, Joel attacked the dad in TLOU1 until he saw his kid.

Even got video proof.


The guy attacked him first. Also look at this cutscene, there's not even cinematography. How the hell did so many people consider this good storytelling in first place? The average Hollywood director has more talent.

I'm pretty sure the bone of contention is Abby knowing that Joel is the "Joel" he's looking for based on nothing but a first name and a general location, not that a man living in a zombie apocalypse would agree to travel to safehouses.
Was xhe supposed to ask him and raise awareness? Just kill him, if he was the wrong Joel then keep trying.

playing Abby is not only terrible because of what she did (murdering the beloved main character of the first game)
Lol no

but also because of what she is: a disgusting she-hulk.
Fair.

Boxed editions only.

The Last of Us Part 2 has shot to the top of the UK boxed charts in significant fashion.

The action horror game is Sony's fastest-selling release this generation, narrowly beating the opening week of 2016's Uncharted 4 by just over 1%. Download sales are not included in this data...

Normies buy games because the liked the last one - online controversies don't reach the sealed copies buying crowd. Only the sales numbers of a sequel will tell if the brand has been harmed.

Oh I know, to me at least with how upwards digital is trending, that implies that the digital sales will push things even higher.

Any word on worldwide sales?
Possibly at the end of the month or next week. The game just released a few days ago, right?

Buyers can still feel scammed and disgusted after the purchase.
It's sad but it's how it works.
Perhaps this will translate in a few additional Red Pills.
If that happens then it might be worth it.

Conversely, if regular audiences *enjoy* this level of putrefied wokeness, then they deserve things to go where they're going.

Tlou was a mediocre game saved by an exceptional ending

No, it was a mediocre game saved by tight resource management (on hard and survivor difficulty).

AngryJoeShow did a 9 hour Twitch stream on The Last of Us 2 yesterday. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/655729227 (the first 45 minutes is random shit).

I'm close to the 2 hour mark and it seems my worst fears from the leaks are true.

I can't believe you watched 2 hours of a an AngryJoe stream and admitted it on the codex. Stunning and brave!

I haven't witnessed this that time and played MGS2 years later, but it was a bit of trolling from Kojima. Plus Snake was there all the way story-wise. Kojima just fucked with the fans Kaufman-style. Nothing was lost there. And the game was top notch.

No, the game was a disappointment compared to the first game thanks to it's overly convoluted plot and some truly retarded characters (like that cringy vampire guy and that silly fat ass on rollerblades to name a few).

Well, there IS something good about this game - now we know how to avoid censorship on snoy console - just add some token wokeness in your game and you're good to go. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 will not be censored on PS4...

There was never any doubt of it selling at the start. Enough people are dedicated to avoiding spoilers that it would be quite difficult for that not to happen. The kind of people who buy games at launch weren't going to be dissuaded by silly internet rumors. Its the people that don't buy at launch is the question. The consumers who aren't really smart, just lazy. Do those people end up getting a good impression?

And oblivion sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, your point?
...And Skyrim doesn't exist? The point many people were making is that this isn't going to sell, not just that this is massive decline.

Exactly, FF VII Remake also smashed sales that processed to drop off a cliff after to the point Square come out and told they werent going to deviate from the original.
I learned to ignore week 1 sales as they are meaningless, what matters is sustainable sales because all you need is a large marketing campaign to build up hype so people buy the game based on hype alone, the problem is the people that will wait and buy it later.

The game sold based on Tlou1 reputation however future DLCs or sequels will sell based on Tlou2 reputation which is shit.

This franchise is dead. Like you brain cells.

Yep, been saying that for a while. Last of Us 3 will tell how many people actually disliked this one. Sequels sell based on how much people liked the last one.

The funny part of the reddit thread are the mental gymnastics of trying to sympathize with Abby :lol: The narrative of Abby is a failed one given that the Cuckmann did not make the player sympathize with her at all. Yet these SJWs try to defend Abby, though I think the fandom is splitting just like Star Wars :dealwithit:

Yes it's quite sad when even people who liked the game are missing the (obvious) point

Lots of these games have record-breaking day 1 sales then by week 2 it goes to literally nothing.

Of course. When they have oddly specific metrics for 'breaking records', it tells you that they're trying to cover for something.

Just like Battlefield V. Remember the SJWs crowing about LUL RECORD BREAKING SALES (after significantly discounting it week 1), later the company had to admit that it massively underperformed expectations to the tune of millions of copies, and less than 2 years later their BS 'games as service' is officially a dead game.
