The Last of Us Part 2 showing some legs coming in at number 3.

-Foxtrot1182d ago

Maybe because they've slashed the price like everywhere (Re-Entry), it's £15-£18 in the UK and it's only 8 months old, it's had price cut after price cut. No matter how anyone wants to spin this and get into the whole debate about the game, that's not good for such a big "GOTY". Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal, even Resident Evil 3 in some places over here are higher in price, some which have been out longer or released during the same month or so.

ocelot071182d ago

Jeeze I remember when they cut the price of Spider-Man for a week or so during a promotion only a few months after release.

Must not of been a very good goty title then.

Atticus_finch1182d ago

Wow TLoU2 is still bothering you this much.

JEECE1182d ago

I think the haters' obsession with TLOU2 and the fact that they think and talk about it more than any of the games they supposedly think are better is some of the best evidence in favor of the game.

-Foxtrot1182d ago

Guys you can disagree all you want but that’s what’s happening, even the article mentions the price being slashed.

There’s pictures flooding online forums with how much stock of the game there’s still left on the shelf or how the price keeps getting slashed

If you want to put your fingers in your ears and ignore it then fair enough

outsider16241182d ago

For someone who really doesn't give a shit about TLOU2, you sure do have a habit of showing up and downplaying it.

"There’s pictures flooding online forums with how much stock of the game there’s still left on the shelf or how the price keeps getting slashed"

Lol..im glad you have your forum friends to make you happy with all that. Lmao..!! It's 8 months old. Game has been a success critically and financially. Move on.

TGGJustin1182d ago (Edited 1182d ago )

@Foxtrot No matter how your hating ass wants to spin it TLOU2 ended 2020 having sold more at retail and digitally than any of those other games you named. Also won far more GOTY awards from players and critics than any other game. Amazing that haters like you can't stop talking about the game all these months later. Its success really bothers you.

Btw price doesn't equate to success. So what if a game like Persona 5 Royal is still priced higher. That's because it doesn't sell as well and the publisher doesn't want to discount it. Games from Koei Tecmo will stay at full price for the most part for years yet many don't even sell a million copies.

Muzikguy1182d ago

Not every game release or pricing structure has to be exactly the same you know

RazzerRedux1182d ago (Edited 1182d ago )

Plenty of games out there have their prices slashed and don't find their way back on to the charts. Hilarious how the simplest comment on the subject triggers you.

ocelot071182d ago

Wonder what your going to be like if/when they announce a PS5 version/free update.

@-Foxtrot
Oh them Sony First Party games huh? Maybe Sony should start a service and put those First party games on it on the day they release and give the service away for say $1 for 90 days or so. That's the only way a game Like TLoU2 will get played huh? Then maybe Sony First party games can get some GoTY Noms and maybe one day win! We all know there's no way 5 to 10million gamers are paying more than $1 to play them Sony First Party games.

A friend that was a hater actually bought the game a week ago, he loves it.

SullysCigar1182d ago

Such a great game. Haters will be tempted and will see how silly they were to get swept up in the media smear campaign.

And I hope they enjoy it - we all make mistakes.

philm871182d ago

TLOU2 is amazing. Close between that and The Witcher 3 for my favourite game of all time.
That's what I don't like to see, people missing out when they get swept up by these things. I'm loving Cyberpunk 2077 at the moment (playing on PS5), but people will undoubtedly miss out because of what they've heard. To be fair in this case it was partly CDPR's own fault. I've got a couple of mates who love CP2077 and have played it on base PS4. Things get blown out of all proportion, then a lot of lies get thrown in there to top it off.

If you stock it, they will come.

LiViNgLeGaCY1182d ago

Won't have this until I get a PS5, but very nice to see!

Tetsdah1182d ago

Jesus that jump for Last of Us 2. Imagine when the upgrade gets announced or they finally announce this multiplayer.

And grats to Miles return. I imagine as a lost legacy styled release, the return on this game is phenomenal

purple1011182d ago

What stock boost?. It's not on sale anywhere.

And I have checked...everywhere! Believe me

andy851182d ago

Been absolutely loads released in the last couple of weeks in the UK

purple1011182d ago

i do not believe you, / have been brought by scalpers.

Silly gameAr1182d ago

When are they going to send some of those bad boys our way in the U.S.?

andy851180d ago

Believe what you like, and again, GAME alone released 15,000 today.

The problem with God of War Ragnarok and Sony first-party PS5 games

Playing the best PS5 games is starting to feel like a bad case of deja vu

Open world, narrative driven and third person, are not genres

sparky77550d ago

And yet they all play the same, just like Soulsbourne/Metroidvania aren't genres PS games all play exactly the same.

shinoff2183550d ago

Beats racing around a track and playing the newest broken halo. Sony games crush what Xbox has. Easily.

mkis007549d ago

But they dont? God of war plays nothing like days gone plays nothing like ratchet and clank plays nothing like horizon, plays nothing like ghost of tushima, plays nothing like returnal, plays nothing like spiderman. Seriously even if you were to try to compare ghost of tushima to god of war the combat is completely different.

jambola549d ago (Edited 549d ago )

You think God of war plays exactly the same as spiderman?....

Also, Metroidvania is a genre
Open worlds is not
Souldsbourne is a genre
Narrative driven is not

I love these games but bro, you can’t tell me they don’t all feel similar. I own on my ps5 and have played for the last year on ps5: uncharted 4 next gen update, forbidden west, miles morales, both god of wars and the re-release of TLOU and yes, they all feel very similar and all are fresh in my memory. They’re great games and I love them but they are in fact starting to feel formulaic.

darthv72550d ago

They feel formulaic because that was the intention. The PS4 gen was meant to be different than PS3. Which means all the big Sony owned games follow the same core design for big budget, over the shoulder, 3rd person, semi / open world, action / adventure story driven narrative. Each one just takes place in its own environment, feudal japan, post apocalyptic future, norse mythology... you get the idea?

isarai550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

Ill give you tlou and gow, but horizon and Spider-Man? They feel absolutely nothing like any other game, same for R&C and GoT. They all look and feel very distinctly different to me. You're stretching way too hard to try and make this false narrative a thing

shinoff2183550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

Yea I think yall crazy. Each of those games are nowhere near each other. If you want to compare all those games and say they are similar you must just be tired of gaming because almost all games have similar things about them. I think sonys games offer Hella variety

Also I enjoy third person. I'd prefer it over fps anyday

mkis007549d ago

How do any two games not feel formulaic? Im not sure what forbidden west and spiderman have in common.

jambola549d ago

No
In your opinion they're feeling formulaic
If you think God of war, ratchet and clank and spiderman feel tbe same
That's insane

What a sad excuse of a clickbait article.

PS_HCT550d ago

With God of War: Ragnarok being the fastest selling first-party game launch in PlayStation history selling 5.1 million copies, I don't think there is much of a problem.

Snookies12549d ago (Edited 549d ago )

I mean, I do agree with you to a certain extent. But sales really don't mean much when it comes to quality. Granted, GoW Ragnarok is definitely a quality title. Yet, on the other hand. We have the hot mess that Pokemon just released. And from what I hear, it's selling more than any previous Pokemon game. Which always bring in millions, every iteration.

Shane Kim550d ago

I don't really understand the whining. Yes they might play kind of similarly (I don't think so, but to each their own) but Sony's exclusives are like 1% of the gaming library. Would you rather they play just like every third party game out there?
