Biggest launch for a new IP this generation
Above Death Stranding (186k)

The game is just ok or whatever. I'm glad it's doing well though I guess. I guess there was a real demand for a "realistic" historical Japanese game.

It's become one of my all time favorite games, well deserved. Can't wait for the next one on PS5.

the game is pretty mediocre but it's great to see that new IPS are paying off, risks over infinite sequel any days...

Nothing dethrones Knack.

Congrats to Sucker Punch though! GoT is a great game, and the Assassins Creed Japan I always wanted.

Now imagine if they had actually shipped enough copies so it wasn't sold out everywhere.

Ubisoft was so stupid for not pursuing an AC game in feudal Japan before now. Congrats to Sucker Punch for taking a swing and doing a pretty good job of it.

Wow. Bigger debut than I imagined, by far. Didn't think Japan would be into a samurai game made by a western studio

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
People are going to call this bait and ignore the:

Tiny FOV
Annoying camera during combat
Shoehorned-in Batman investigations
Several quests following the same formula of: Ride Horse with person > Investigate evidence/Scout combat arena on hill/Trail suspicious people > Combat arena
Dryly written, mostly uninteresting characters
Poorly incorporated stealth

It's ok if you don't find fault with that stuff, but not everyone has to pretend the game is flawless. It does some big things well though.

It's not just the biggest launch for a first-party new IP on the PS4, it's the biggest launch for a first-party, including Nintendo, new IP on any console since the PS1.
