UK Charts: Zelda Falls From The Top Five As New Releases Shake Things Up

It's dangerous to go alone

Worldwide, it should be similar. I don't understand why anyone would engage in a marketing contract with a brand that is effectively dead.

Nice to see SH2 at number 2

CHRIS DRING SAID WHAT????

Dear, oh dear... We were right again...

Investors and co panies should be paying us millions for advice.

Did sega over ship? So they could claim the huge sales? It doesn't seem to be doing anything great in digital charts aswell.

 

[Entropi]

Xbox laid off its marketing team. I’m sure Atlus feels good about their choice right now

Hope you guys give Metaphor a chance. Runs laps around Persona imo

Most likely.

Game seems good but there is no AA in a major AAA game in the year of our lord 2024 and the UI gives me headache sometimes but yeah metaphor being better than persona in story and setting is pretty spot on, Also I already had my fill of atlus jrpg's for the year with SMT 5. Will pick this up to play in the new year

 

[Danja]

I see my Sega boycott is going well... They deserve the worst and Atlus will have to suffer along with them... Def ain't getting my money

How is Silent Hill 2? Does it play more like Dead Space or Resident Evil?

Did persona 3 reload do ok In the uk

Closer to resident evil but it's nowhere near as action oriented. Highly recommend.

 

[Boswollox]

The PS5/PS4 ratio is good for playstation, as they combine to be a big chunk of the market, but to have PS4 still so popular and not far off of ps5 sales should be concerning for sony

 

[Gods&Monsters]

How is Silent Hill 2? Does it play more like Dead Space or Resident Evil?

Both? But it's more similar to Resident Evil, gloomy town, pitch black environments, memorable story and characters (iconic really).

 

[Dr. E99]

Closer to resident evil but it's nowhere near as action oriented. Highly recommend.

So...no combat? Limited combat? Guns? Melee?

No, combat is there and there's a lot. Its just paced slower than a RE game. out of the mainlines id say it's closest to RE2. No where near as much fighting as RE4

So definitely not Dead Space-esque in the combat department then?

Once the Reloaded/Golden version comes out, maybe.

Unfortunately SEGA/Atlus preferred to support a dying platform and spread their resources thin instead of giving their engine an update and making sure their game runs as good as possible on the platform which made them what they are today.

No, much more simple than Dead Space. There is a satisfying stomp though!
