Don't think this was posted yet, this is a video about some glitches found in TLOU2. It isn't anything super crazy or anything that puts it at Bestheda tier bad, although the multiple times the horses break is quite funny.

It is a thing that studios have done. It's called ghost screening, and it was done for Ip Man 3:

Most of the box office revenue goes back to the studio opening week. So, if $100 million was spent by the studio on ghost screenings, most of that revenue would go back to the studio. They could spend, net, tens of millions in order to inflate the box office by hundreds of millions. And if people perceive the movie as a smash hit due to these inflated numbers, that would trick more people into seeing the movie, further recouping the investment in ghost screenings.
Did this happen with Captain Marvel? I think many people legitimately went to see that because they thought it would be important for Endgame. And Disney would be taking a big risk of being caught. But I don't entirely put it past them, since they were hoping to make Captain Marvel the new face of the MCU.

I want to get this stance of “people just want a girl character to masturbate to” out of here. People will masturbate to anything. I’m willing to bet at least one person that isn’t Neil has masturbated to Abby. Someone’s probably doing it now. It could even be you, the reader.

You're a former highly successful YA author when the apocalypse hits. During the initial stages of disruption, a squad of 6ft tall lantern jawed real women (tm) kidnap you and torture you while making you suck their ladydicks in revenge for you being a TERF
There's a place for it, the problem is if it's just constant it becomes dull
Mortal kombat does well to balance it's tone with absolutely tasteless gore; the piss take of introducing 'friendship' finishers without breaking stride after having tipper gore and co decrying them all over the media was genius
Calling TLOU2 torture porn is ironic as fuck; actual torture is less about pain amd more about breaking the brain's ability to establish a coherent reality
If your entire game is just one ultraviolent ultragrim plod then your game is boring. It's like the difference between raping a hooker and a nun
One is shocking and horrifying; the other is another day at the office

Cause we don't like something they like. ON THE INTERNET! That is just not acceptable. They must defend their interests or their purchase has no value. They do it on reddit and rating sites. They will give it a 0 and the review will just say something like "faggot deserve to die". On reddit they just say "I hate gays" or post lolicon to try and get subs they disagree with banned.

So apparently Abby is a huge (as one could be post apocalypse) weeb, and given her physique I can't help think her character, and the game would be better if she was some ugly socially awkward muscle dweeb.
No one likes her because she's ugly and weird, except her dad.
Her feelings towards Owen are not reciprocated, you can even keep that abominable sex scene in, just have it be drunk pity sex on Owen's part.
Have her go after Joel alone, and fail to kill him herself, have the WLF give her shit for going after Joel.
Make Abby truly feel alone in this world, until she meets Lev.
I feel like this is a more likable character than the golf club welding tranny mothergoose "sexy" psychotic gorilla we got.

TLOU2 sales fell 80% for the second week, looks like indeed the word of mouth has not been fantastic. Good sign.

Those are again UK charts.
You want North American ones because the US is where the console market money is made. UK is highly unreliable as far as trends go. Xenoblade Definitive Edition's sales did the same thing where the second week had a big ass drop in sales and had Animal Crossing bury it.

The question is why aren't they showing the US sales yet? Are they hiding something?

Yes, UK charts, so far the only numbers of second week sales.
I think the US numbers should come in soon through NPD, that will indeed be very telling.

More than likely yes, we're not going to get the numbers until the end of July which by that time the real sales figures will be drowned out by Ghost.
That's been the whole strategy from like the get go.

Why niggers sleep on Dorohedoro? It was the best anime of it's season.
Even if people didn't sleep on it tho, nobody would fucking care it had a large, muscular woman because Noi still looks like a fucking woman.

The UK charts are somewhat similar to the german charts. Only difference being those job simulators lmao
Since UK and Germany are considered the biggest european market, this information is very important. We‘ll have to wait and see how the US numbers are, but I think they‘re on a similar course.
The GTA5 sales for example didn’t dry up until a month after release, and even „dried“ up it still sold constantly well enough throughout the years.

I took a look at that consoomer from the Le Ebin Bacon Leddit Army's profile. Dear god what a cancerous NPC brownnose brownshirt. I tip my le fedora good xir, and a thousand bacons to your mental health.

Yeah Noi is built like the female Diablo 3 barbarian. Like she's a clear muscle lady, not an ambiguous half way point.

A few more thoughts from the folks over at TV Tropes:
tvtropes.org
"Is the game even trying to guilt players? They attempt to portray the violence as "real", grizzly, horrifying and depressing. They don't want the player to have fun killing enemies, which they arguably failed to do. They humanize the enemy so when Ellie kills them regardless, you question what Ellie is doing. The WLF gets humanized because Ellie is the aggressor here: she came to Seattle to kill some of them, and the WLF are defending themselves from the wrath of a group from Jackson."
"I can't help but think that a lot of the people calling for Ellie to go to the dark side just want it because she'd kill Abby as a result."
"The ending is a Bittersweet Ending because Ellie gets closure on Joel's death and knows she's done what he would have wanted. Is it worth more than Dina and her baby? Honestly, I'd say yes. At least to Ellie."
"1. Ellie has plenty to live for. She got her closure. She's got Tommy. She's got Jackson. She's alive and her entire life ahead of her. It seems pretty ableist losing a couple of fingers means she's got nothing to live for.
2. Abby lost, at last count: her entire faction, her dog, her best friend, her other best friend/lover, Lev's sister, and was fucking crucified. Why are people acting like her life is so damn good?
Maybe I would feel more if I was overly invested in the Dina/Ellie relationship but it's not like Dina is the last LGBT woman on Earth."
"I don't what could have been done to improve the ending but turning Ellie into villain isn't it. The only thing it offers is catharsis of killing off Abby and that just isn;t worth it no matter my issues with the character."
"People will bring up how Lev suffers for being an LGBT character, and how it's unfair that Abby, a straight, cis character, gets to survive with something she cares about intact while Ellie, an LGBT character, has to make do with nothing. But in order to change that and have Ellie fuck over Abby, she would also have to fuck over Lev, an LGBT character, even more."
"Abby gets to live with Lev because she chose Lev over revenge. Twice. Meanwhile, Ellie lost Dina because she chose revenge over Dina. Abby made the right decision and and Ellie made the wrong one, and they are awarded and punished accordingly."
The fact that good things happen to people that do good things shows to me, the story is not nearly as grim as they imagine it. People just really, really cannot deal with the fact that Abby spared Ellie three times, can they?
"One thing I think was a mistake is the Race Lift of Abby. They should have kept her as the daughter of a black man. Losing Laura Bailey would have been a shame but there's plenty of good black voice actresses who could have used the work."
"Anyway, I think the game's story is awesome and I'm glad. It's a tragedy and that's what makes it good. It's like people would like Hamlet to end with him killing everyone then going, "I AM KING!""
