- Surpassed The Last of Us Remastered as the Sony-published PS4 game with the most consecutive No.1s - Comfortably the second biggest new game released this year behind Far Cry 5
im not trying to diminish god of war as i love it immensely and its sales figures are definitely impressive -epecially for being an exclusive, but fc5 has still sold more overall because it IS multiplatform (5 million copies in the first week alone vs 3.1 million for GOW). look it up... sony has lots of users but no matter how many it has, combining sales with xbox and pc is still more people no matter what. lets not make this a red herring meme.
@ Kumakai: as KilluaX3 said, the 3.1 million was for the first three days. I wouldn't be surprised if it did 5 million in its first week, or at least close to it.
@Kumakai It is true that multiplayer games sell well. I wouldn't ever discount that. But it's still worth accepting that some gamers like to take a break from those and finish a game like God of War or similar genre of game. Or part of that 3.1 million in 3 days are those only care for the genre. To assume that it's unsuccessful or not as good as multiplayer is not factual at all. I'm not say that's what you're saying here but it disserves it's success just as much as FarCry 5 and other Multiplat titles.
I'm half way through my third playthrough.. first playthrough i tried to get as many things as possible.. second playthrough i did only the main quest.. third.. doing everything againnnn lol
@Kumakai, do you have figures on how many PC users there are? Because I'm sure there's well over 100million out there versus all 3 console platforms combined. So, what's the attachment rate for FC5 for ALL platforms? ;)
lol. Meanwhile it finished 3rd in all of april, it’s 2nd month on the market, after the reception it received and last week was sitting at number 11, it’s 6th or 7th week on the charts, but yeah, total flop 🙄
Let me tell a good ol’ tale of Evolve. Within the first 3 months, Evolve sold at least 2.5 million copies. Take-Two were happy with the performance that they considered its launch “incredibly successful” and the game to be among the league of the publisher’s “permanent” franchises.
Sounds great, right? Except for the part that the player count absolutely tanked. Despite Turtle Rock’s attempts to revive consumer interest by making it FTP, they eventually stopped supporting the game.
Before you respond that I said Sea of Thieves will become like Evolve, no I’m not saying that. However, the point is that incredible initial success is not indicative of long-term success.
Anyone else get the black bars on the side of their screen aftee the latest patch? I wanted to replay the story this morning but I couldn't find a fix to the issue.
Go to setting then video change the of HDMI and size of screen to anything then unplug the HDMI, put it back then again go to settings put it all as it was or what is suitable to you. It worked for some.
"Heya. We’re aware of this & looking into it. Suggestion in meantime is to go to system display settings. Shrink. Confirm. Then go back into display settings & fit to appropriate size."
@LOGICWINS Try and shrink it all the way down and confirm it, and then set the correct size. That's what I did. I think I was in the game as well if I'm not mistaken.
The funny part is, I’ve seen people on sites like VGC claiming the sales were going to drop like a rock after that great first 3 days. I’m calling it: the game broke 5 million just after it’s first week and is probably closer to 7 million by now.
Awesome. I'll be getting it after my final college exam. Hope it's as good as people say. It looks right up my alley anyway (awesome gameplay + story is something I will always appreciate)
It’s as good as people have said, and than some... It’s an unforgettable & incredible journey.
God of War “in my opinion” is not only the best in the series, it’s also the best game I’ve personally played this console generation. From the stunning graphics, to the intense, hard hitting, fast & fluid combat, to the amazing, emotional, funny at times story, that’s told (with that one shot camera) which was so well executed. It’s the total & complete package. And, the photo mode... if you enjoy using this feature in other Sony exclusives, you’ll love it here.
I finished it yesterday, and as I type this, I’m already missing Kratos & Atreus =(
I'll second that. It's rare for me these days to 100% games as I don't have as much time as I used to, but I plat'd GOW during the week after beating the Valkyrie Queen and I think I sat there for about 10 minutes after the fight staring into space pondering what I'm going to do now that I'd finished it. One of the few games in my lifetime I really didn't want to end.
At first you wonder a bit since there's a long tutorial, but then it picks up and it's like their journey to the mountains ; up all the way better and better.
Hey EA, do you see what you get when you make an incredible single player game? Sure it won’t make the sales of Call of Duty or Battlefield but single player games can be lucrative without trying to make a game as a service.
Nice sales once again for God of War. Seems like the UK like Donkey Kong as well. Considering the Switch has sold not considerably great in the UK region, it's good to see them right up at the top for a second week running.
There are people out there still with a PS2... even THEY are at a better place than the XB1-only ones... yeah a gamer on a phone playing Candy Crush Saga is still a gamer hehe what's you point? but the greatness lies with the gamers tasting the best-est and highest gaming tech the industry has ever produced, top class stories with toppest class graphics... that's what PS brand is for... ...and hoho no, xb1x running Tetris-4K is NOT best-est industry tech btw ;)
I never said people without PS4s arent gamers.. I said "This is why gamers have PS4s".. Not everyone has the means to get new stuff but if they do, PS4 is an obvious choice
Finished it today, clocked in at somewhere between 50 and 60 hours!
Amazing game! From the production value in graphics and audio, storytelling, narrative and immensly fun Axe wielding gameplay. Its just top notch from begining to end!

Sea of Thieves fell like a rock
