Ever since Yotei showed it had a female protagonist every single post about it by them, be it here in Brazil, in the USA or Europe, it has been flooded with hate and stupidity beyond belief.

Now after that firing it got way worse in the USA, saw many people actually interested in the game saying the cancelled preorders.

And for once, their beautiful limited Dualsense was the one that lasted longer I've seen here, it was days before it was out of stock and I still see, as today for example, it going back in stock for preorder which means people are cancelling their purchases. Here in Brazil. The limited PS5 was also in stock for days here when this stuff should last a few hours top.

Based on Tsushima success, their projections will likely be missed heavily and I fear Yotei is the last Ghost game, Sucker Punch will be moving after it.

Being profitable (not very profitable) means nothing if it doesn't meet their expectations, they want to invest their money building potential juggernauts.

I think this is unnecessary concern. I understand the female protag issue with some ppl, but TLoU2 and Horizon 2 still went on to do well especially considering their budgets. 

Having a female and black protag didn't stop AC either.

Considering the lower budget, I don't think Sucker Punch has any issue. Early profit should be easy, especially with a PC version most likely releasing earlier than Tsushima. I think they'll be fine.

Sadly I think both Yotei and Saros will not be selling great. Had hopes for Yotei as Tsushima was a 10M+ seller, but as soon as they announced a female protagonist the hate Yotei is getting is shamefull, plus the whole dev firing drama right before the game launch.

I'm still hoping for 7M+ sales figure but I'm not even confident at it hitting even 5M anymore.

I can't imagine the online outrage/discourse will amount to anything substantial for GoY. It will very easily clear 5M+ by the end of the year lol. Maybe even by the end of its launch month. 

Its tracking really well on the PlayStation Store. Its above massive games like Battlefield and COD. And the controversy surrounding it is nowhere near as toxic as it was for TLOU Part II. 



Where is the announcement for this week's event?

I hope so, the first game was so good and this looks great as well, would be a shame to see it flop, unless it turns out to be bad somehow.



Playing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter...

Dear lord... this game is whooping my ass on Hard (not going to bother with Nightmare lol) and I love it! Just gave up on a certain 4 vs 3 boss fight after attempting for several hours. Will try again tomorrow. My party's level is 18 and the boss's party is 19 so I'm not exactly under leveled, and I think my equipment/quartz are fine. These "rage boosts" are starting to piss me off...

Outside combat, I'm really enjoying the characters, animations, visuals, and pretty much everything about it. Voice acting kind of annoyed me initially but I warmed up to it.

Yotei ranking first in various countries preorders (US, UK, Canada, Japan, Korea, Brazil and other european countries). In my country the games has been in #3 for weeks, people are going all in on Silent Hill. I'm just happy the work at SP wasn't compromised by the egoistic actions of one person.

Tonight is the last expected night.

That said, maybe the 007 SoP was the September one this year lol



I hope there is an sop but no biggie if there isn't. 

I doubt Wolverine shows up even if there is one. 



A new Ananta trailer dropped and it looks phenomenal. Budget Spider-Man swinging though.

Not bad. My boy Don Lee confirmed for the cast.
