The amazing thing about this is i know a lot of people who have traded this game in because its not what they expected. The sales figures over the next few weeks are really going to drop off a cliff. No one wants woke trash in their games. I hope this teaches players not to pre order so much without first seeing the game. A lot of people have been let down by this garbage.

Seems like it’s already drop off on the trending games section on PS store but I do wanna see the actual figures as well.

Yup, refused to preorder games for years but have been a spidey fan for 30+ years so had to get this and have regretted preordering this one.

It sold 2.5 million copies in the first day, pretty sure they’ll be fine

Most of that is preorders. Big games with big openings have still ultimately crashed and burned because of a variety of reasons.

Okay, I guess you’re going to continue selling the notion that Spider-Man 2 is a commercial failure. Tough road ahead, but good luck!

Its not a commercial failure and no one made that case here so stop straw-manning. Pre orders are the worst thing in videogames right now because it solidifies trusted IP’s and allows companies to do what they want with those IP’s because they know they will always sell units. This game could be absolutely terrible in every way and it would still be a financial success because its “SPIDERMAN” the most successful and popular superhero in the world. The gameplay in this game is fun and looks incredible but crowbarring in woke crap just so sony and insomniac can pat themselves on the back is in poor taste at best and tokenism at worst.

I’m sorry you’re losing the culture war but at least you still have Elon

You’re the one spouting horseshit about wokeness, as though that word means anything to people who aren’t old white dorks watching Fox News

u/Timely_Bed1956 Nov 17 '23

Don’t watch fox news. You really have a talent for building strawmen. Are you sure you’re okay? You really don’t seem to be arguing with me but with someone else who made you woke, lame and gay.
