How is this a good thing at all?
I don't like VR.
How is this a good thing at all?
Emergent systems-driven open world gameplay, with zombies that are actually a legitimate threatI really don't understand what people see in Days Gone. Is it just popular because Sony's trying to hype it up or are people genuinely interested in it? It looks like the most run-of-the-mill game shown at Sony's conference. Pretty much the whole gameplay demo was just generic open world driving, QTE punching (all scripted, you aren't choosing which punches you're doing), and baby's first stealth game. It didn't even look good last year.
Yep people need to watch this stuff.Emergent systems-driven open world gameplay, with zombies that are actually a legitimate threat
And then there's channels like these which have 'taken' millions of views from official channels https://youtu.be/ZQj5s7k3GxU
It looks like the most generic game ever though. I just cant generate any excitement for it. And I'm really trying because I need more games for my PS4.
I think Mario basically cancels out any niche or odd concept factors.Yeah, of course, I'm just a little taken back at the amount of reception such a weird concept in such a niche genre has had, it's not like Mario is guaranteed success, after all.
It's basically the brutal realistic post-apocalypse similar to stuff that people like such as The Road and Last of Us + open world + nice graphics + role-playing through dynamic systems + zombies unlike anything that has been seen in games before or in any medium besides the WWZ movie.Yep people need to watch this stuff.

That's why it was so cool. What you thought was so scripted was pretty much all dynamic. Play that mission during a different season and time of day and those wolves won't be there. Be cautious and scout ahead and you can flank the guys waiting in ambush by the road tripwire. You can just skip the bear trap all together since you don't want the screams to attract that big-ass horde. And so onThey sure did a good job of showing exactly none of that in the trailer during the presentation and instead made it look like a scripted QTE borefest.
People really pushing the Days Gone hate.

Zombies are still big too. Walking Dead may be losing viewers but it's still a rating juggernaut. Train To Busan broke records. World War Z was Brad Pitt's highest grossing movie. Dying Light is getting a full year of DLC two years after release. CoD Zombies is practically its own game within the main games nowadays. The Girl With All The Gifts was relatively well received, and the studio already has the movie rights to the sequel.Didn't people hate on TLOU being a Zombie game as well? Give it a chance.
The Days Gone salt is hilarious.

No zombie game has zombies like it. For a genre where the undead is usually fodder, that instantly stands out IMO. Even in L4D, you can defeat a horde with good strategy.I mean, there's nothing about Days Gone that gives it any sort of personality to elevate it above any other zombie game. It's looking like the Ghost Recon Wildlands of zombie games. I get why a lot of people aren't enthused.

- It was all scripted for the E3 demo, though. That was all planned beforehand.
- Oh boy, the QTE wolves.
If Days Gone is this game all about emergent gameplay then why have the past two times it's appeared on stage just shown scripted moments that were planned out way beforehand, QTEs, and none of this dynamic weather?
Not denying the game will sell like hotcakes and the mainstream will eat it up but as someone who's played plenty of games like Days Gone before, what does it offer me that I should be excited for? More of the same isn't enough anymore.
Or an dynamic open world,dynamic events, the survival aspects with the bike, weather effecting the freakers and the way you ride etc I could go onNo zombie game has zombies like it.

Spiderman is gonna make so much money.

Planned beforehand doesn't equal scripted. Yes, they deliberately did things like drove into the tripwire, placed the bear trap and lured the guy into it, and blew up the barrier to use the infected on the enemy camp, but you don't have to do any of those things- It was all scripted for the E3 demo, though. That was all planned beforehand.

Well, the first E3 demo gave the player like 500 bullets and didn't seem to have stamina, and this one didn't have him facing a giant horde. Limited ammo and limited stamina means you'll run out of ammo before making a dent and won't be able to run far before being overwhelmed.Sure, you can't just take the zombies on like an idiot, but the E3 showings so far have made them look really easy to just trot away from. Unless one gets you by surprise they don't look that threatening.
They have actually we saw the story trailer first. His name is deconMore re: Days Gone.
Bend/Sony never showed a story trailer. Both trailers were mechanics focused. I dont think anyone even knows what the main character is called or why the world is what it is. Anyhow, once they're ready to show more - I'm hyped.

The God of War trailer is a masterpiece. One of my all time faves.
This the same place that said battlefront would bomb,and was confused wildlands sold well. Ppl here kno nothingThe mainstream appeal of Days Gone is so easily apparent, I'm surprised more of you DON'T get it.

So wait, why are there different numbers for Mario here than the OP?
Need for Speed being so high is surprising to me.
But maybe it shouldn't be since it's just F&F: The Game.
What is so hard by doing a little research on the game?I mean, there's nothing about Days Gone that gives it any sort of personality to elevate it above any other zombie game. It's looking like the Ghost Recon Wildlands of zombie games. I get why a lot of people aren't enthused.

It looks like any other zombie game you'd find on steam for cheap.
People that are down on Days Gone comparing it to Wildlands like Wildlands isn't one of the highest selling games this year.
It's ok if it doesn't stand out to you. But to try and translate that into acting like the general public feels the same is just off.
That is video games in general.That wasn't at all my argument and I agree with you. I think it will do well like Wildlands, to my point. I was saying that I get the reasoning as to why there's pushback for this zombie game. Like a CoD or a sports entry, not much new looks to be offered here, just refinements.
