What went wrong?

she should've been a sexy man instead since it's what gamers want according to the memes

>>723223014 (OP)
It is kinda weird that there's no "brag" post by Sony after a week.

>>723223014 (OP)
It's a severe case of sony sequel decay

>>723223062

That's because Yotei sold like shit. Sony's considering bundling it to artificially boost sales numbers, but PS5 sales are in the gutter, so they dont know what to do but stay silent.

>>723223014 (OP)
Garbage gameplay, just like the first

>>723223062
Did the first one get a brag post a week later?

>>723223014 (OP)
The actual answer is that everyone was preoccupied with and then busy playing Battlefield 6

>>723223014 (OP)
they didn't get the message about not bragging and acting like faggots online
ultra narcissistic behaviour appears to be acting smug and superior and drunk on your own perceived invulnerability and then blaming everyone when the illusion is lifted
this has happened so many times now and they still don't seem to learn
although in this case i think they truly thought the success of GoT would let them immediately double down on the gay and burn that good will for ESG points
it failed
the tides are turning, but don't forget about the sign

Here is PS5s game of the year. This is the power of PS5.

>>723223437
Sony always does this anon. Issue is that we're now in a landscape where the majority of gamers aren't buying games, at least in the POWER OF THE CELL era they were putting out games regularly for people to buy.

When they put out one a year and it's middling to crap like Yotei is, Spiderman was, etc. coupled with it coming to PC in six months to a year where mods inevitably make it better? It's a much more dire landscape.

Sony knew this game was gonna be mid when one of the main selling points in their media was the Watanabe mode.

>>723223272
they posted on Twitter "2.4 million in 3 days" after a week

>>723223014 (OP)
No, it was a great success and the Japanese totally loved it! It sold millions!!!

>>723223272
literally every game that sells well and half the ones that don't do a brag post after a week

>>723223014 (OP)
Its so frustrating how much of a waste this game is. The first one had dogshit woman empowerment writing but at least the gameplay was fun and I didn't have to play as the most unlikeable bitch imaginable. All they had to do is make the MC male and this game would have still sold well, ONE THING and they couldn't do that because they hate the people that actually buy and play games that much.

>>723223014 (OP)
I bet it's not even Yotei's fault
people who fell for the first one must've realized what a boring game it is

None of my normalfags friends played it, and they liked Sushi. I'm actually surprised.

Yeah nevermind.

Yotei is a good game

>>723223014 (OP)
Dunno but they can always come crawling to PCkeks if they want a sales boost. If the game gets a PC port within a year, you'll really know they're desperate.

it did.

>>723231460
>yes it's selling much worse than Ghost of Tsushima but here's why it's a good thing

>>723231776
sushi got covid lockdown and ps4 boost.

>>723231776
It’s nearly the same pace though. And Tsushima had come out on a console at the end of its life cycle when more units were in existence

>>723231460
sourcerino of those staterinos?

I just finished this game, it feels like a filler sequel, still good, but I liked the first one more

>>723231856
>It’s nearly the same pace
40% less is "nearly at the same pace"?

>>723230186
>Japan fatigue.
Tbh true.

>>723231856
Sequels are supposed to sell more than the new franchises. Ghost 2 selling less than the 1st one is a bad sign.

>>723231856
>end of its life cycle
As if the PS5 hasnt been around multiple years with only 5 exclusives
For fuck sake people are already considering saving for a PS6

>>723231837
I remember when Famitsu sales were out and Yotei was selling much worse than Tsushima cope was "It's physical sales and people bought much more physical when Tsushima was released, Yotei is selling better digital", now that digital is out it's "ushi got covid lockdown and ps4 boost"

>>723232393
>>723232417
1.6m vs 2m is a 40% difference?

Again, the original came out on a system with many more units in circulation at the end of its lifespan. It was naturally more available.

>>723232539
>vs 2m
Tsuhima sold 2.4 million copies in three days. Redditor decided to "round down" 400 thousands copies to make Yotei look not as bad

>>723232419
The ps5 is probably going to beat the ps4 in sales lifetime with gta 6 coming out and Xbox being off the market soon.

All that with what you guys say has no games. How is that possible anyways?

>>723231980
https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/ghost-of-yotei-is-a-success-as-battlefield

>>723232617
Adjusted to how many consoles were out when each came out respectively, yotei is probably right on par with Tsushima. Not a breakout success but still better than AC shadows

>>723223043
It's true, just look Nioh.

>>723231460
>>723232517
>they are comparing day 6 of Yotei to day 3 of Tsushima for it to look remotely not as failure
OHNONONONO AAHAHAHHAAHA

>>723223014 (OP)
It's a Sony game.

From stellar blade to expedition 33 to Yotei all while not playing any games, grim.

So it didn't break even yet.

>>723232710
now adjust for inflation

>>723223014 (OP)
>open world ubislop samurai game
>but now with ugly woman
I dont know if this game was truly a flop or not, but who would actually be excited for this? Does it improve on the first game or introduce any new ideas?

>>723232950
What game this year would that not apply to though compared to games from 5 years ago? A lot of these games adjusted to inflation aren’t doing stellar either way

>>723223014 (OP)
I just don't want to play as a Woman in a Samurai themed game. I have a certain image in my head, largely related to Kurosawa movies.

I got that with Jins game. It wasn't a particularly amazing game. But it fit that theme pretty damn well, and it was fun because of that. Underneath it all though - it's just another Ubisoft Collectathon with slightly better combat. Which isn't all that amazing in the modern era. So the only thing that had me interested in the game was the themes.
And the new game just doesn't have that. So I'm not interested and I didn't bother buying it.

>>723233030
the ones that didn't sell 40% less than their predecessors :^)

>>723233158
Like what

>fuck u chud ur gonna buy it anyway!!!!

Cope and seethe
Chuds lost
Baldurs gate 3 was a success
Silent Hill F was a success
Hades 2 was a success
Silksong was a success
Kingdom come 2 was a success
And now Ghosts of Yotei is a success

Woke won, you lost. Cry and demand the government censor your enemies.

>>723233058
It's more of a ninja game than a samurai game, and they confirmed that in yotei by calling Jin the first shinobi.

>>723223014 (OP)
They tried ro sell you the sane game but with worse of everything. Just like nintendo did with Zelda Tears of the kingdom that also flopped and did not sell as good as BOTW.

>>723233290
Baldur's Gate 3, Battlefield, Silksong

>>723233434
Literally none of those were woke though compared to other stuff

>>723233441
And I still didn't bother using any of the Ninja stuff and walked into camps demanding challengers

>>723233504
None of those are really even that far ahead of inflation either though really

>>723232539
You didnt disprove what I said, though.
Even if Yotei was selling the same as Tsushima, which it isnt, it would still be a failure, since sequels are supposed to be more successful than their predecessors.

>>723233516
You men’s It wasn’t woke except for all the times it was called it woke because it was a success and ruined the narrative

>>723223014 (OP)
Liberal culture

>>723233643
So what games recently have come out that have outsold their predecessors by massive margins? Ac shadows came from a franchise known for having sold 200m units

>>723223014 (OP)
The pic is hilarious because she's fucked. She has no armor and her blades are still sheathed while the guy not only wears armor but is ready for combat and wields a fuckin pike

>>723233689
is there reason why woke want to claim BG3, Silksong and Kingdom Come instead of celebrating Concord?

>>723233689
Nah, there’s just more egregious offenders of woke, Dustborn, Tlou2, Veilguard, Concord, etc. those games you listed did not forcefully shove it in your face and compromise a story for it. Try again, libtard.

>>723232653
lmaoooo? are you serious?

The female protag isn’t the problem it’s the fact she’s some westoid mutt asian instead of someone that actually looks Japanese

>>723223014 (OP)
I boughted it because I was extremely bored and I've only been able to put in like 6 hours. It's literally the same game again. I'll probably marathon it over winter break but regret wasting my shekels on it for full price. I say this as someone who doesn't care that she's a women, I was willing to give the character a chance. She's boring as fuck though, narratively the game is a lot weaker and they do a terrible job of setting up the world. I don't even think they explained what the historical context or geography are you're just kind of dropped into this impressionistic fable land which is fine but not at all what made the first games opening hours so strong.

My friends who bought it said the same. Boring character, shit story, gameplay is only a marginal improvement

>>723233732
Silksong sold 1/3 of Hollow Knight sales(7 yo game) in a mere span of days.

>>723233838
she is japanese just born in america

>Her parents, Christopher S. Ishii and Carolyn Abe-Ishii, worked in the film industry.[2] Her grandparents include Chris K. Ishii, a Walt Disney Company animator and member of the Military Intelligence Service in World War Two, and Harry F. Abe, a medic in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.[5] Some of Ishii's Japanese American relatives were incarcerated during World War II in internment camps due to Executive Order 9066

>>723234058
>My friends

>>723233828
devs of other games themselves confirmed that its accurate

>>723234545
There were 4 of us who played legends together. 2 of us didn't buy Goy, so I think this is hard data that sales are down 50% from the previous game

>>723223014 (OP)
every fcking game nowadays looks like a shitty souls clone.

We have played this game a hella lot of times before
Boring

>>723234389
What the fuck is this nonsense? Did they go into Asscreed mystical retardation in just 2 games?

>>723237969
>sovl-clone
you wish you fuarking FromDrone. GoY is a cinematic masterpiece with niggerfriend lo-fi music and strong independent non-binary female main character! It's nothing like "forgive me Zanzibart" which requires an autist liek Vaati to give you the lore... Here you experience Kurosawa tier kino with epic Sony Playstation exclusive quality!

>>723230186
Ronin was an uptimized piece of shit, so I'm glad it bombed.

>guiz it flopped even though no layoffs or studio closure

flop just means "game I dont like" nowadays

>>723230186
Didn't Ronin have body type-A/type-B selection bullshit? You can also make your authentic japanese avatar african-american.

>>723233434
Why do trannies keep trying to claim silksong? I get the angle of trying to lay claim to something that was successful. But trying it with something that makes zero sense just discredits everything else you claim.

>>723223043
>sexxxy man
I will now buy and play your game

>>723238772
Devs are leftist and said tran rights, they hate your kind

>>723223043
you are talking about the first game, and it was successful enough to warrant a shitty sequel

>>723238285
Ill be interested to see what the figures are just considering 2025 landscape is way different than 2020.

If it does well, people will just cope that it needs to sell 10m copies to break even when the co-founder said it basically cost the same as Tsushima.

>>723240847
>team went from 140 to 240
>ads fucking everywhere

inwhatuniverse

>>723223014 (OP)
It's just more ghost of tsushima but with a worse story. As someone who 100% GoT, I have zero interest in this game because it's literally just more GoT but I have to play as a lame chick instead of kino samurai..

>>723234389

>>723223043
>>723223014 (OP)
The issue is that the first game came out before samurai slop over everywhere. In the time between this game and the first. 20+ AAA samurai games have come out. It’s so insanely played out and as far as I can tell this is literally more of the same as the first, nothing in it justifies its existence as a standalone title

>>723231632
But we have the numbers and it sold half of what Sushi did in japan

>>723241239
>ads in fucking India
Ah yes the most expensive place to run ads. Also not like Tsushima didn't have ads everywhere

The R&D on their in-house engine was done for Tsushima, this looks nicer but the jump from Second Son to Tsushima was immensely bigger and that was the same hardware. Washington is expensive but it sure as hell isn't LA, Vancouver or some of the other more popular studio locations.

>>723242687
>>723242292
>Rebirth flopped
>Tsushima sold less than fucking Rebirth on a much bigger install base
Kinda just proves Japan is useless just like the UK considering Tsushima did 10m in like two years on 60-80m budget

Never hire an Asian-American instead of an actual Asian.

Fucking traitors.

Who wants to play as Erika Ishi or whatever her name is? Why would they hire this absolutely unhinged person to be the model for the main character?
