Yes, and the thread title says SO FAR as well.
Even the quoted tweet has a Or at least in terms of Day 1.
He was a member here. He quit Era, but at least he's still on twitter
Not too surprising, it selling well was always a good/great possibility.
Pretty much.
Fuck reviewers because gamers don't bother to actually read the review and if it's for them but instead get mad/argue over review scores?...
...okay I guess.
Most likely people were complete shits to him.
edit: Wait, he didn't leave he posted on Monday.
Even The Order 1886 sold rather well, it's pretty evident a large portion of PS4 owners are loyal supportive.
Was there even a possibility that the reviews would have such a high impact so close to release? I heard the game had marketing since weeks so I think that's more of importance. More interesting will be long term sales and wom.
Not suprised, if it's going to have an impact I imagine it will be in terms of its legs. Hope the game does really well for Bemd regardless.
Same reason most people with actual knowledge of what's going on with numbers quit. When he said stuff people didn't want to hear, they become confrontational to him
It's a zombie game.
And it's a PS4 exclusive.
Game could have been completely hot garbage and still sold well.

Reliable source: sales are doing well on day 1, similiar sell through to mk11
Reaction (of some): yeah well if it were a better game (scored better) it would have sold more!
I have literally never seen that reaction before. What is it about this game that people hate so much?
Also I can't believe people thought it wouldn't sell well based off of middling reviews. The walking dead has been far worse than middling for many years now and no one gives a shit, it's zombies

Yes, a game like God of War saw pre-orders spike in the last week owing to the high reviews, and Breath of the Wild's critical reception is considered to have driven adoption of Switch for the first few weeks.
Fair enough. Not sure Twitter is the place to avoid that kind of behavior but alright. His knowledge was always appreciated.
MK11 is doing way better tho, similiar sell through to PS4 MK11
How can actual sales be damage control. Isn't damage control around sales purposeful obfuscation via nonsensical measurements. "68 million shots fired" or "X million players" while omitting the fact that you can play the game for free or $1.00 for a 1 month.
It seems like other than story, which is a big thing of course, almost all of the complaints i keep hearing from Streamers and critics sound like technical things or UI/loading things that could actually be fixed. So let's hope their success means they actually put effort into fixing stuff.
The embargo has a lot to do with it. I was basically forced into my copy from Amazon because i couldnt cancel the preorder in time.

He quit on Wednesday: https://twitter.com/BenjiSales/status/1121088246832881664
I guess on twitter he can always block and tell people to go away (to put it kindly) if they don't like what he has to say without the risk of being banned
User warned: vilifying media outlet
Easy Allies review is the best one and the game is good, not below avarage or avarage. Glad to hear it sold and hopefully it will continue to do so.
On a side note, f*ck gamespot and the whole staff that works there, it has been a joke sine 4 years ago.

Reaction here is more of 'the game is good, but not great', 'we saw it selling well at least at first', and 'let's see the legs'.
Glad that the sales are strong, hopefully good word of mouth keeps the momentum up.
The game is pretty damn awesome and I'm having just as much fun if not more fun than I did with Spidey and Horizon.
Shocked by how good it is after all the critical reviews, mainly just a few prominent outliers with absurdly low scores.

I'm having a pretty good time with it, glad to hear it's selling well! They put a lot into the marketing push. It's definitely one of those games Era loves to hate to an annoying degree, the review thread was a shitshow.
I hope they have the success to keep going forward with more games, whether it be Days Gone 2 or something else.

A 75 was so caustic it killed the MassEffect franchise probably forever despite solid sales so.

Technical issues seemed to haunt ME:A more than the review scores.
