No problem. Our tweet on the UK drop blew up a bit with all the haters saying the game is like The Last Jedi. We shall see in the coming months how sales continue. They might have dropped 80%, but it remained at number one. |
Although TLOU 2 has a significantly higher install base to sell to than the TLOU did, and it will be a commercial hit, my feeling is that it won't have the legs the original did. I say this because I really do get the impression that a higher than normal number of people dislike, or even hate the story. At the very least, I don't want to undersell the backlash from fans of the original, nor legit criticism from new players. I always watch Jim Sterling, but I still haven't fully watched the Jimpression, because I know the content within will represent total spoiler ruination. Before the spoiler warning however, he left little doubt to which general direction he was going to go.
I won't lie. What I have heard scares the s*** out of me.
I say this without too much conviction, because it's basically impossible to have one's finger on the pulse of millions of players. It's all still conjecture at this point. Like you say though, we shall see. It's going to be very interesting to see how this unfolds.
