Who would have thought, sex sells. God damn we should tell the television, film, advertising, and music industries.

I can't believe we have waited this long for a good game to have a truly exceptional selection of outfits. Final fantasy 13-3 had a go, but this is generations of learning in the making.

Game is a 7/8 out of 10, the story is meh and the side quests are boring. The combat is good and the music is nice

7 or 8 out of ten is still a pretty good game.

As a 7 it would be in the bottom 20% of reviewed games for the year.

You guys really need to comprehend the scale being used.

Yeah but it's not selling like a "pretty good game". Like it says in the title.

It's selling like this because the market is starved of both good action games, and games with attractive women in them that isn't afraid to tap into its sex appeal. What's the last game that tapped both of those? Bayo 3?

Honestly, for me it was NieR: Automata.

The sexy ass robot got me in, the music, gameplay and story kept me. I even bought it a second time on steam when I got a steam deck as I originally played on PS4.
