Okay. I'm convinced that the casuals are loving this, perhaps the core crowd also. It has 10k reviews now on PSN, 6k of them have been in the last 2 days so they are from people who played the game enough and it has only risen in average score up to 4.72 now which is a really good sign. Steam remains very positive at 81% on Steam and peaked the same as Valhalla. It has passed 2 million sold and it doesn't look like it's legs are breaking, from what I can gauge players are positive and loving the graphics and world and word of mouth is bringing more people in, perhaps the barrage of hate is also increasing interest as people can see that hate is clearly not deserved in this case.
There are such dishonest people out there saying this is a total disaster when it looks to be tracking well above Oddessy and in the direction of Valhalla. It's so weird that people are fighting through a consumer product but seeing them having to lie about it to win is cringe as fuck and now that they can see it is clearly succeeding which is against their narrative they start saying ludicrous shite like the games budget was 900 million.
Only reason I'm not playing this right now is I've been made aware that Ubisoft cuts prices near half price regardless of sales. The game looks so solid and it's main critical fault can be addressed using immersion mode with Japanese and Portugese VA which is probably better anyway even if the VA was good. This isn't a DA VG situation where the writing is dogshit, it's actually really solid and only falters from the way the game is structured. Some of the graphics on base PS5 alone are the best we've seen this gen and comparisons to the games that hold up with 9th gen like RDR2 look next gen, this is the first true next gen game without image quality faults or severe compromises, it looks better consistently unlike games like WuKong or Rebirth that look next gen in tight narrow spaces and then fall apart hard when things open up again and it's fully open world all of the time with draw distances, detail and lighting that beat the UE5 promise. I'm looking forward to this upon first sale, hopefully before GoY comes out but even if so, it's on my list of to buy now for sure.
