Well well well, for the 10000th time naysayers got their mouths shut

[RpgSama]

Not only that, it can ONLY improve sales numbers, it has only been out for a few months as of now, sales numbers will only go up from here.

Happy for them, the game deserves it, it's a much better game than the metacritic score might say.

[blackblades]

Na their mouths still open apparently, kinda hard to shut them up these days. Some saying fake news like a MAGA

[repsahj]

Just you wait, hellblade 2 sales will pick up soon!

[Einhander1972]

This game is criminally underrated.

And the reviewers did this game so dirty.

[blackblades]

Didn't they lower the score because of the graphics. I think they shouldn't involve graphics in the scoring and treating big budget different then small budget

[Einhander1972]

Yes, and the game looks great and it performs great too especially for a big open world game.

Of course, It doesn't have ultra detailed rocks like Hellblade but it's also not sub 1080p, 30fps or 6 hours of set pieces...

I too am perplexed by some reviews,

for instance edge magazine, often use the same scoring system, so, you get their review scores and its like 7 for Rise of ronin, and a 9 for some 16-bit sidescroller that your bro could make in his basement, in 2.5 months compared to the multiple years with hundreds of peoples hard, blood sweat & tears poured into it.,

so I do think 'scale' should be one of the factors in a review, perhaps thats why people like this game, it gives a large world to expore in that feudal Japan era.

The complaints about the graphics is just so stupid, but I admire I didn't enjoy it as much as the ones before it, mainly because the open world wasn't that enjoyable, and I just enjoyed the interconnected levels much more

[The_Hooligan]

I remember reading a review where the reviewer took points off and said something like "it has way too much loot and I don't want to sort through it all the time." And then I saw one of the commentors saying "umm it has a feature where you can just set everything to auto-sell or auto-dismantle with a rarity level cap." lol

[Ironmike]

This a brilliant game loving it

[robtion]

Great game and I ended up preferring it over DD2. Took me 80hrs for a complete almost 100% playthrough. Open world Tenchu vibes the way I played it. Only complaints were no traditional NG+ option (just twilight missions like in Nioh/Wo Long), and graphics being a mixed bag (trees, some textures, draw distances).

[VersusDMC]

Damn. The highest number of sales i can find for tecmo koei is a hyrule warriors 3.5 million shipped.

So it's higher than that and the cheapest it's been is 50. Nioh reaches around those numbers only after going down to 19.99.
Koei making bank.

...but I'm still slightly skeptical if this is possibly a mistranslation as it is only the 14th best selling game of the year in April in the US.
Maybe people really jumped on that 50 price in droves.

[Tacoboto]

This seems like a misinterpretation more than mistranslation.

"In the earnings announcement, there was a topic that you had a better start than "Nioh".

Yasuda:
"Ronin" has the best numbers of Koei Tecmo titles so far."

The context of the response (according to Edge translation) is about how it's starting off.

Their English financials are also in context of sales starting off faster than Nioh

[S2Killinit]

Well deserved.

[raWfodog]

Still looking forward to picking this up. I had high hopes for it since I first heard about it.

[Elda]

I finished the game early last month & I enjoyed it.

[WelkinCole]

I honestly have no idea what game the reviwers were playing. Its an easy 9 out of 10 for me. Feels like Days Gone all over again.

[TheColbertinator]

It was a surprisingly good game from what I saw. Well deserved

[Rikimaru-00]

great great game, now lets get some good dlc with new weapons like the kusarigama. After that we the gamers are dying for a new ninja gaiden

[helicoptergirl]

I got the Platinum trophy for this game. I really enjoyed it.

[jznrpg]

It’s the next game I am going to play after Stellar Blade which I’m in the middle of now. I already picked up a copy but the flurry of games on PS5 that came out in the last few months has kept me from getting to it. Heard good things so I’m looking forward to it.

[X-23]

That's crazy, I recall so many people speaking negatively about it a few days after it's release. Really puts things into perspective, I recall not liking it too much at the start but as I put in more hours that changed pretty quickly.
