April NPD 2018: God of War is the big daddy

Santa Monica Studio’s God of War had the best launch month ever for a PlayStation 4 exclusive, in terms of dollar sales. It instantly ascended to the No. 1 spot on the top sellers list for April and it is now No. 3 on the best-selling games of 2018 behind Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World at No. 2 and Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 at No.1.

Very happy to see God of War do so well!

IamTylerDurden12193d ago (Edited 2193d ago )

God of War is the best selling PlayStation exclusive of all-time besting GTA San Andreas for PS2 in 2004. And it did it in only 10 days on the market. Damn. The power of sp games.

Adding on to your thought process.... I think what also helped was having a long gap between releases. I mean it had been roughly 8 years between GoW3 and this one. Or 5 if you count Ascension and this one. Sometimes having a nice break between mainline entries can really bring the fans back around.

I know it felt like forever just waiting for this one. Hopefully we dont have to wait as long for there to be a sequel (but then i wouldnt want them to rush it and have it not be the best it can be).

The ball is now on Insomniac and Spidey!

Then later Naughty Dog and TLOU Part 2

It's "Boi"... ;-)

OT, congrats to Sony and the development team. Truly deserving game. The game already had to break expectations when it was announced then the reviews poured in... People's expectations went over the roof including mine. The night it unlocked I played for 2 hours and I was just mind blown about how beautiful and amazing the game was. Took me an entire weekend to finish 90% of the main story... When I finished it I was relieved and little sad. Such an amazing game.

I'm one of those gamers for who there's no in between - either I play the game for 10 hours straight or I don't touch it at all. There's nothing like lemme game for 2 hours.. it always becomes 4+ hours. Lol. Anyways... God of War was the game that I played for 10+ hours after a very long time. Amazing game and thank you for the game, Sony.

"It turns out that people were way into checking out Kratos’s latest adventure." and it was well worth the wait.

KomaRising2192d ago

lmao how'd you get downvoted for a positive comment on a ps4 exclusive? Just when I thought I was starting to understand N4G

almost done with my 2nd play though and will 100% the game.

Truly outstanding game. I can see myself coming back to play anytime I need to scratch that itch like I did with the old trilogy. No need for MP and microtransacrions to keep me engaged or brainwashed.

A Late Look: Monster Hunter: World

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While it was a mixed pleasure overall - at times exhilarating, at others agonizing - I would have to say I enjoyed my time with Monster Hunter: World and found it to be surprisingly addicting. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I was surprised by how little had changed from previous titles, given how this particular entry took the series to unheard levels of popularity, but while it retains both positives and negatives from them, at the very least it’s a stellar-looking game that brings more freedom to the hunt than any of its predecessors (Monster Hunter Rise could possibly be a different story, but that, my friends, is a game for another article)."

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot70d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor70d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos70d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius70d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8870d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
