God of War back at no. 1 on the UK charts

https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/30/god-war-hacks-way-back-uk-number-one-games-charts-28-july-7776347/

To quote some haters of the game. "Tch! Nobody's gonna remember this game in a week. It's just a movie game. One and done and it's over. I'm gonna go back and pretend to have fun with Sea of Thieves! Yeah, that'll show everybody!".

Tell me, people. It's still at number one... in July. What's wrong here? How could so many people be this wrong about this game. Oh, that's right! They're opposing console owners. LOL! This is what real gaming strength looks like. Not hoping for the next multiplayer carrot-on-a-stick. Just a good, single-player, quality game in design and execution.

That dry lump in your throat. Those tears welling up in your eyes. That's bitterness eating away at your soul as this game marches on your hopes and dreams. GoW of War is a sensation, folks. There's no denying it anymore.

Xbox is a joke.

yet sales figures are nowhere to be seen

first 3million meh

then 5 million...eh.. meh

and now

fact is uk sells 10,000 games a week to reach number 1. god of wars sales flop speaks for itself.

crash bandicoot also did well in the uk and sold just ok.

I see fanboys on the internet have gotten you active again.

Wanted to replay, but I can't skip anything, unless they patched it, because of that one-shot nonsense.

There there, buddy. It's gonna be alright. I'm sure you thought Mario Tennis Aces would *snort* SERVE up some competition, but alas, no. You can take solace knowing Kratos is feeling lonely up there at the top.

? Someone is upset lol. Still mad GOW rekt Labo sales?

i should have known labo would flop. too gimmicky.

but now its all about that casual pokemon goodness in november. I'll make you the same bet i made with someone else.

pokemon evee/pikachu will outsell red dead 2 WW on both consoles combined. time limit is jan 1st 2019. when the companies release their sales info in 2019 we settle it.

deal?

ill buy you a 60$ ps4 or PC game if you win. you buy me a switch or PC 60$ game. cool?

basically i paypal you 60$.

TC looks like he took active part in the making of the game. So many emotions.

Right? Nintendo's fire hazard is at 1.4 million suckers served while GoW has probably done almost 5 times that.

Damn lol. Are you really sure you want to take this bet?

If you said PS4 alone I'd agree but both consoles combined worldwide sounds like madness.

:P I'll take you on this bet.

*bookmarked*

deal

The UK was in the grips of a ball sweaty heatwave the last few week so I'm surprised anybody was buying games.

Even so congratulation on having a game selling better than some other ones.

What's a heatwave in the UK like? 80 degrees?

got as high as 89/90 last week. we're not used to that here.

That's not very good when there 80 million PS4 consoles out there. Percentage wise Nintendo is doing better. LOL

I'm sure Nintendo is pleased with their "percentages" and that's why they are abandoning Labo going forward and why Sony is planning several God of War sequels lol.

not yet quack. seems nintendo is doubling down.

I don't think they are abandoning Labo as kit 3 is due out soon.

I quit playing video games for like 1.5-2 years, busy to deal with life , so stressful

Somehow I finished GoW last month and thank god it really did bring back my passion for gaming, bought some old games and im having alot of fun with them.

Im glad that Gow doing great tho, but the worst thing right now is .... I have to wait years for gow sequel ?

LOL! I barbecued in 100 this summer. Man, you guys finally got some sun and you turned into vampires.

Loading Video...

Not shown: The kid going back to playing Fortnite like 20 minutes later.

There was nothing new to play. So God of War got the justify victory.

There's always something new to play, they just can't take out the almighty God of War...

... unless it trades places with Crash again, I don't know.

@BenjaminBanklin: Once Spider-Man PS4 releases, it's over for God of War. At least God of War had a nice run and a great PS4 exclusive game to say the least.

I swam to get here :P

@rrjim1: oh look it’s rimjob interjecting with his dumb dumb opinion again. How are xbone exclusives selling amidst 3 skus and all windows pcs?

Sea of Thieves plummeted again.

Except State of Decay 2 is newest release among the big 3...

Where is it on the charts?

Just saying.

Isn't Detroit the most recent?

Fortnite stole all MP power there is.

Of course. We told people around here the only reason it charted again was because MS was shoveling them off with Xboxes the prior week. Nobody wanted that game after week 2.

I'm waiting for New Game Plus to play it again!

@Pedro: headshot? I believe you're not too bright since a Sony exclusive took over... Another Sony exclusive on the charts...

I am sorry that gif got you triggered. LOL

@Pedro: you sound upset :/

Says the person who got upset by my gif. LOL.

@Pedro: I'm not the one triggered over GOW going back to #1 on the charts. :/

No, you are triggered over my headshot gif. :)

Its incredible that it keeps selling.

LOL. I triggered another one.

Bu bu but sea of thieves was originally designed to have low content!!!

It may take Rare 2 years to get enough content. ;)

Hopefully they don't get a pink slip by then.

Hated the new gow, love my PS4, but that game is overrated as hell. Beat it and trade it in. No replay value. Zip. Nier automata was a way better game. Bayonetta 2 is way better. That's marketing for you.

I believe historically Europe is not GOW strong suit. Great to see the game outpacing the other popular sony studio games. I hope NG+ they add other realms challenges and a few more bosses. I would like to fight that bird thing in hell. Best sony studio ps4 game for me.

Sony studios dominating again.

Man, Phil Spencer has a lot of egg on his face right now. After calling games like GOW basically "one and done" experiences GOW is tearing him and the lems a new one. GOW continues to dominate both US and UK markets months after its launch while games like Sea of Trash and State of Flopbone Decay 2 have completely flopped out ?.
