In fact, it’s the opposite in that it challenges us as players in a way few games do.) are some lines better than others? Of course, what media doesn’t have this? But the whole is greater than each little part here.

Just because her initial reactions don’t align with our average power fantasy, doesn’t make it cheesie or bad writing. Their reactions and motivations are NOT going to be the same as yours, as they have specific trauma driving their actions (I.e you as a player might want to be a hero and save the world, but that doesn’t mean at any given moment Frey does. There’s nothing cheese about it if you’re willing to accept the main character as a person you are playing and not as someone as an Avatar for you. But fully realized, it’s a dramatic and somewhat dark tale of family and love and tragedy that comes together pretty well IMO. It’s hard to talk about without spoiling, but there are very real character journey moments that shed real light into the motivations of each main character that you’ll never get from social media clips. It’s modern in its approach, and subversive for games. Personally I don’t find anything really cheesy about the story, it’s actually fairly well realized. well, the content creators and review bombers probably did what they set out to do, and it's going to disappear quickly. I know it basically was doing like 2X Ghostwire, but again outside of pre order impact, way too hard to tell how it'll impact their fiscal overall. Same goes for all global digital channels. Pay attention weekly to see if actual WoM keeps the game top of mind, or if we're already seeing demand satiated from pre orders and week 1. I was rather impressed about the inventory SQEX secured/were granted.īut those units were moved prior to reviews and the hate train rolled in. Most of these initial digital sales are going to be driven by pre orders.Īnd since SQEX had the Sony deal, they had EXTENSIVE and long visibility on platform.

There just isn't enough volume on digital JP stores out the gate to be particularly meaningful. What you're going to want to see is consistent, week over week over week charting. I wouldn't get my hopes up based on japenese digital debut only. The net numbers here are going to be very low.
