[PlayStation Japan] Ghost of Tsushima sales are exceeding expectations in Japan; out of stock at some stores. Additional production underway.
- Thread starter Nightengale
- Start date
Very happy for Suckerpunch, they so deserve it. The world they've crafted, and the research they've done on the period is just stellar. I hope we get more non western settings for games in general, so many rich unexplored cultures and histories to cover.
Sold the first 20 or so within a couple days, but then it took a couple weeks to sell the last 20. I don't work in a game store, mind you. I work in an electronics department of a retail store.
Crazy fun game, exactly what i needed after TLOU II.
His arm position
cant unsee
That's his knee...
Anyway planned to play 1 hr today ended up 5 hours wtf.
Thanks for the info. Sounds typical for a highly anticipated game.
Great! Totally deserved. This is neck and neck with FF7R for my goty. So glad it is selling well. When I picked my copy up here in the US they only had a few left. Hope this is a trend worldwide as the game deserves it
Japan's never really gotten a historical game made at that sort of budget, so it kind of makes sense. Also, I feel like the game's biggest handicap in the West has been open-world fatigue. Like, I'd say from what I've played so far, it's pretty similar to Spider-Man quality wise, and the Metacritic difference between the two is a few points, significant but not huge, but the tonal gap between the two game's receptions two years apart feels pretty intense. But the genre never really saturated things in the same way in Japan so maybe there's less of that.

How a game is recieved "tonally" has less to do with the game's mechanical qualities but rather the ability for a game to trick you into thinking it's better even if they're the same/similar.
A new IP that looks and plays like Spidey, even with all the same qualities as Marvel's Spidey will never have the legacy of decades of Peter Parker, Mary Jane, Doc Ock, etc. Also, Spidey - by virtue of how it traverses, competes with very few other open world games that's primarily on-foot or on-horses like AssCreed or Mordor/etc.
That's rad. I haven't played the game yet myself but I've seen a lot of praise for it. Well deserved.
