What other devs SHOULD learn from this: an open world game is only good if the world itself is carefully crafted and not procedurally generated.

What other devs WILL learn from this: strip out the UI, but don't actually design the world so that you can navigate side quests naturally, and then make it brutally hard.

And then they'll complain when the garbage they release doesn't get 10 out of 10s.

The initial tweet was deleted since it's top 10 for the NPD reports specifically. So basically ranked by dollar sales, doesn't include digital for every company etc.

Still really impressive. It's forecast to be the best selling game of the year. Only Rockstar is typically able to beat COD and it's a Modern Warfare year too.

Dope. From Soft deserves it for not using bullshit money grubbing tactics in their games. You pay money and they give you the entire game and it's huge with a shitload of content.

Hell, I got it for $50 at Walmart day one.

Honestly might've hurt sales.

Would've massively decreased online discussion and streaming and such

NPD does report digital sales as well but it depends on the publisher. Nintendo doesn't disclose their digital sales to them for example. Bandai-Namco does.

Yup. People would complain about how shallow and dumb the game is because they'd blow past everything and completely miss out on what makes it so great on harder difficulties where you gotta treat every enemy like a new puzzle to solve. Then the review scores would go down because people got what they asked for and didn't like it. Which would them make newcomers less interested in checking out a game with middling reviews
