I wouldn’t want to bank my whole studio on one title being a blockbuster success either.

It sold 10,000,000 copies. It was the best selling first-party PS4 exclusive released.

I know the loud internet people were upset about Girls With Muscles or whatever, but it did fantastic with normal people.

(And will sell millions more when finally available on something besides PlayStation.)

Ok.

My biggest problem is that story doesn’t work if you do not sympathize with the funny muscle lady because the ending would be horrendous if you hate her, like I do.

Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you’re missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i’d ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it’s that good.

I had, I had a hard time with the conveniences in many of the cutscenes. The major problem for the story is that it really only works if you sympathize with Abby, if you don’t, then the ending just doesn’t… work.

Must’ve been because it required more effort than releasing the same thing over and over for full price with a new coat of paint

Tlou2 is a 2020 game… this is a bit of an over reaction don’t you think.

It’s been three years. It’s 2023.

The answer is “Yes, that was a bit of an overreaction. The last few years have felt like a lot longer than that with the pandemic and everything!”

I think it would make more sense to look at the gap between one release and the announcement of the next game. Things aren’t looking pretty.

I have hard time believing they had this great product they just didn’t want to support for a few years. Specially with how Sony has been dead set on having many live service games in its portfolio.

the previous CEO was dead set on that, but he’s gone

The flop of high profile titles like The Avengers showed that it’s no golden bullet.

Some gamers love a game they can play forever. Maybe others gamers dabble in it, but it’s time that becomes the limiting factor. I know people that every year buy CoD and FIFA and nothing else, and sure, they make unreasonable amounts of money, but there’s plenty more on the table to be had from gamers who don’t like that.
