Yeah, no sales updates from apple or chicken dude either, like its was for Rebirth or Helldivers 2. Shocked/not shocked actually.I was waiting for the Chris Dring and Matt Piscatella comparisons of first week sales vs the first game but alas those comments didn't come like other games.
I don't think consoles should stick to just games. Interactive media should thrive in consoles.Hellblade games shouldnt even be called games.
I didnt get past the first hour of HB1. By the sounds of it, if I played HB2 I wouldnt get past half an hour.
God of War Ragnarok also takes between 30 and 60 hours to finish.Completion rate for GOW Ragnarok is about 25% and that's a game people have to buy outright.
10% for a game pass game doesn't really seem like anything newsworthy.
But this Hellblade 2 buried the original idea of mixing mythology and mental disorders, and instead gave us their own variation of God of War.Agree, women with mental health issues just aren't for everyone.
That's like giving your little brother the controller that's not plugged in and telling him he's playing Mario.You can just complete it on Youtube
This can't be real... 200 people?! Makes Redfall look like a smash hit.The game is dead on Steam right now. More people playing the first game as we speak than its sequel.
Ninja Theory is in serious trouble....

6-8 hour game available day one on GamePass. I sincerely don't understand this data point at all.
Horizon FW sold really well and that shit is boring as fuck while looking extremely good.
But that felt like a slog tooFelt like a slog to play through compared to Senua's Sacrifice
46%. Can you at least not make numbers up?Completion rate for GOW Ragnarok is about 25% and that's a game people have to buy outright.
But… the User reviews at Metacritic

Such a masterpiece that you'd rather play other games.I think I'm up to the 3rd act.
Looks and sounds amazing, an absolute master piece of a game.
But I'm busy playing other things atm, will finish it one day
Have you played Enslaved: Odyssey to the West? Now that's a game. A good one. I wish Ninja Theory would do more games like that instead of spending five years on a voices in my head walking sim.Hellblade games shouldnt even be called games.

Waiting for phils balls to twist this into something positive
I can't remember the last time I "completed" a game. And I buy more my fair share.More to the point: People play and complete games they buy. The act of buying implies a level of commitment that simply isn't seen when you subscribe to a service. This is called the Netflix Effect in Hollywood, where people rarely finish TV shows and even 2 hour long movies after the shift to streaming.
Some people here finished it twise and it's gets better the second time according to him. Game of the year material.
Or it caused people not to stick with a turd for a few hours since they didn't technically pay for it, and go play something that is more fun.Low barrier of entry probably caused a lot of players that normally wouldn't play this type of game to download it and load it up. Shame that there was nothing to hook them in that first hour or so, though. That definitely points towards the fact that the devs probably could have done better for the first chunk of the game.
I haven't played it yet, but I'm interested when it goes on sale for around $20.
yeah as in it's presentation etc... just not exactly my kind of game - but I do want to finish it.Such a masterpiece that you'd rather play other games.
Only if you are stuck in some kind of time loop.Isn't the game only a week old?
In my defence I started it this monthOnly if you are stuck in some kind of time loop.
Yeah but the 3D audio of voices in your head while you're walking, thoughI "played" it, I walked a lot, fought 2 battles then quit. Eventually decided to give it another shot. Turns out the next part was a 20 minute walk, so I quit for good this time.
RDR2 is also a 20h game where you add 60 hours riding around and watching pretentious ambivalent dialogs. With today's open world and rpg fetish in everything, most games are bloated af. This here might be too short for regular full price, which is for a gp title irrelevant anyway though. Too short with some stuff some don't like, or even hate, is imho hardly worse than actually time consuming bloat prevalent in many other games. The best feature of Callisto Protocoll eg was imho that, while it being mediocre, it did not overstay its welcome, at all.It's a six hour game where like 4 of those hours you're just walking forward.
I'm sure it's more compelling (I certainly think so myself at least), but I'm thinking it's still pretty marginal.When people buy a game at full price they are compelled to finish it due to wanting their money's worth even if they're not liking the game.
I get enough nagging voices at home XDYeah but the 3D audio of voices in your head while you're walking, though
