Uhhh...what? Uncharted 4 is  >8.7m, Horizon is >7.6m, and GOW did like 3 million in two days. Yet Spiderman is an ip known across the world, and the marketing push Sony is giving the game is seemingly more larger than even what those 3 games got.

Anecdotal evidence, but I have PS4 playing friends who haven't even heard of horizon but are super hyped for this.

If it stays at 88 which it should then I was only off by four points.

87 on metacritic, 88 on opencritic and ~90 on game ranking. Sony have only gone and done it... Again!

"The best Spider-Man game ever made… but only just, since it fails to move the superhero video game genre forward in any important way." - 7/10

lol what kind of review is this? Not only do you have to make good game but your better move the genre forward in an important way. That's quite a challenge devs have on their hands when making games.

I don't see how that's unreasonable. The Arkham games have spoiled people, this kind of thing isn't a novelty anymore. 

yep, that's why I call them bullshit reviews.

So Spiderman will sell just because its a more known IP? Not only that but 2-3 times more than any superhero game has ever sold on a single platform?

Am I reading this thread correctly that some people are saying that a score of 87/88 is considered not great or its over hyped? I said the game would get 87, I've pre-ordered it and am hyped for it, thats a good score. I for one cannot wait.

Game will sell 8m easily I think... I think people want open world, want Spiderman, I think it'll be just fine.

Well you were just a little more optmistic than average for our metacritic folks who like some troll review =p

Pocking my copy up later today when I finish work. Fairly excited.
