"Pay $4.99 or else we'll make the game impossibly hard"

XiNatsuDragnel1544d ago

Oof EA you want to be worst company of the year again!!

Highrevz1544d ago

If it’s a single player game then make it optional, if it’s an online game then keep this crap well away from it.

EA needs a good f'n boycott

DarXyde1544d ago

I wish people were that principled, honestly.
People speak poorly of EA (and rightly so), but at the end of the day, I feel that most (or enough) gamers are simply unwilling to miss the annual FIFA or Madden releases. People aren't willing to skip out on BioWare's next big-budget disappointment or DICE's next Battlefield.

With the exception of Dead Space,I have not bought an EA or Activision game since the sixth generation. Yes, I did miss out on the recent remakes of Crash Bandicoot. An occasional flop from a good company is forgivable, but when your entire corporate culture is find ways to turn your customers upside down and shake the coins out of their pockets, I don't care if you make Dead Space 4 and it's a bloody masterpiece - you do anything like unfair patenting or nickel and diming, I'm not coughing up a hay-penny.

Good luck. I dont buy their trash but judging by most people on here they have no self control.

"“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1"

Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new (which I know he is thankfully)

Not to hate if you enjoy these games but they weren’t for everyone and it puzzles me that he did a sequel rather than doing Physint next or even an actual P.T like game.

I just feel he's trying to make Death Stranding a thing, like as big as Metal Gear Solid and it's just not going to happen.

I'm about half way thru the first game and its definitely an acquired taste.

Clearly not for everyone. I never tried it and it tells me absolutely nothing

“Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new”

He is making new things, so I don’t see what the problem is. Game reviewed better than the first. It has its fans and served its purpose.

At its core, it’s just not a very commercial game. Takes work, which might turn off casuals.

andy852h ago

Probably not, the sales won't be much lower than the first game. And its a critical success

Fox

It's selling well digitally you can't compare it to sales of ps4 game because even back than digital wasn't the be all end all like it is today now. With GTA6 delayed DS2 is the game to beat for GOTY

Fishy Fingers14m ago(Edited 13m ago)

Split fiction and Clair Obscure already have it beat in critic scores.

So does Forza Horizon PS5 :/

Exclusive vs Exclusive and a Mario game lost? There is still hope for humanity.

If they released at the same time Im pretty sure Mario would still take number one.

Ganif2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

At least get the statement right, physical sales were down 66%, not total.

https://xcancel.com/Chris_D...

Obviously, digital is bigger part of the landscape than it was on PS4.

Digitally on the PlayStation store it is and has been the best selling retail game since prior to release, and still is today.

Also, the digital edition came with early access.

P_Bomb2h ago

My friends and I bought it digital. Truth be told, I haven’t bought a disc in years. Is what it is.
