Ok, so what? What exactly are the similarities between GoY and Acolyte that you have to draw such a very specific comparison?
None that are really there.
(NTV) Set in the area around Mt Yotei during the Edo period, the sequel to the popular game is released and people are picking it up one after another

You mean, very specific vibes?
The vibes of women having a baby without a man. (subversive narrative)
It's going to be very interesting to see if this game wins GOTY at the Game Awards this year. Hopefully, people around Mt Yotei are ready to vote one after another to secure the trophy this year.

Vibes that, again, are not really there, you say?

You would think was steak of veilguard, shadow and many other woke nonsense they'd learn by now. How's it doing against GoT, I wonder?

i think there's a lesson we can all learn from the japanese fans, & their willingness to pick the game up one after another rather than shoving each other out of the way trying to get theirs first: kindness & consideration will never go out of style...

What? That's not the ending. Don't rely on internet trolls for your information.
There is no sexual or romantic relationship between Oyuki and Atsu. The dynamic is that of surrogate mother and child, contrasted against what Oyuki was complicit in. Especially since Oyuki is probably in her 50s. Atsu is looking after Kiku after Junbei died, but she was already almost a teenager when her father dies and sees (and knows) Atsu as her aunt, not her mother.

AI can be twisted to agree with anything you prompt it to, up to agreeing that you have superpowers. Use your own critical thinking skills.
...another one defeated by the superior power of AI?
Your statement was the vibes of two woman having a baby without a man. That is clearly not the case. Looking after the almost grown daughter of your slain brother is not the same. And she is looking after Kiku alone, in the ending Oyuki was just visiting and doesn't stay with them.

Haters and boycotters right now:

Would it be possible to stop littering threads with this PoliGAF lite anti-woke squabbling and trying to stop any discussion about games you perceive somehow are tainted? We are the point where people are grasping at straws to call the game woke and it almost feels like there are "vibes" as you said of trying to drum up some kind of negativity with the flimsiest of excuses (is it upsetting people that the game is good and that it is selling because they feel it hurts the cause or something?).
What you posted, thanks for trying your best to spoil the game with unmarked spoilers (although trying to keep it somewhat abstract)
, is essentially "if the game does not push my narrative then it is pushing the narrative of the enemy". The "vibes" start getting real hints of "please stop selling, must wake sheeple up about how dangerous the hidden wokery here is, must exaggerate". Nope, the game is not woke, end of story… come on…When people talk about horsehoe political discussion… this is exactly the behaviour of the woke activists with target flipped. Guilt by association, guilty because you sound like someone that sounds like they support someone we think is bad, with us or against us, part of the solution or part of the problem, etc…

It seems, no one even watched the video. Two people pick up the disc, and only one takes it with him (the interviewee). The shelves are almost full.

Only, that the statement "People were arriving one after another looking to buy the game" does not seem to be true. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to show it even in a short video.
It would be even more relevant if he expressed himself in terms of units sold.

If you're curious about that, we'll be getting the physical sales volume for GoY in Japan tomorrow when Famitsu drops their data.

Did you just give away the ending to the game? whether true or not, not cool man

He didn't (I just finished the main story), he's just retarded.

oh, I know it's not, but its not the point, that's what he thinks is the ending (because of idiotic agenda driven Twitter posts) so for him he is giving the ending away, whether deliberate or not, which is not cool
(at least spoiler that shit like others have done)

Tbf ubisoft did their best to piss off japanese people between yusucke, the destroy shrine thing, the historically incorrect stuff etc.The Japanese didn't buy AC Shadows, though.
Speaking of...
Tsushi 1 on the other hand was beloved in japan

I don't really have a stake in this, I really don't care, but this equally goes out to the fanboys in this scenario - you're steadfast on claiming/pushing the game is a resounding runaway success. Some of you guys need to chill and see how this naturally unfolds by itself. Then, you can talk about owning the "haters".Haters and boycotters right now:
Typically, Sony's SP games are very front-loaded. Let's see if there is any momentum behind it in the next few months.

fucking sad the repeated attempts to lie about this game in an attempt to tank the sales…

You don't know that, especially when taking into account things like specific times of the day or, again, the fact that it was a 30s footage during an interview.
I don't think people are expected (or allowed) to just give data like that.

If they were recording at the wrong time, how do they know that people are constantly coming?
I know, I meant that his info doesn't say much either, because we don't know what sales figures his store is operating with.
Anyway, everything will become clear tomorrow — what figures do you think we will see if Tsushima sold 212k? If you're talking about success, then surely it should be more?

They were most likely told by the workers at the retailer.
PS5 hasn't been the same type of success as the PS4 in Japan in terms of software sales, and they're also releasing on different stages on their respective lifecycles, plus other factors like over 1M of consoles being digital only. I think we'll see around 150K-175K units sold.

Almost the same - "The PS5 is currently behind the PS4 by 0.21 million units." https://www.vgchartz.com/article/464426/ps5-vs-ps4-sales-comparison-in-japan-march-2025/

you could check famitsu charts for the entirety of both generations, they are here, on ERA and Install Base (until you run out of no-account views, worst site ever)

I could check, but there isn't a banger sequel in this generation that I could compare with the previous one. They all had their issues. However, the current narrative around Yotei is that it's a superior game in every respect.
