Emergent systems-driven open world gameplay, with zombies that are actually a legitimate threat

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Woah, pretty sure the Halo Wars 2 DLC has more views there than on the Xbox Youtube channel. 0_o

Do you have a PC where you buy mult? Because I only have a PS4 and I don't know how else I can save money to spend on more games.
Just this year I bought: Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect Andromeda, What Remains of Edith Finch, Nex Machina, Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy, Final Fantasy XII HD. I missed and want: Kingdom Hearts (both collections), Resident Evil VII, Nier Automata, Persona 5, Prey...
Isn't that like a lot of games?
Maybe people should look a little more info about Days Gone, I can't say I don't understand the sentiment if you only watched the main presentations but even with that alone the game doesn't look like an insult to videogame history.

I think Mario basically cancels out any niche or odd concept factors.

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.
Yeah, without Days Gone PS4 will be dry, it better be good.
People need to realize as far as Days Gone goes. They need to separate their apparent lack of interest from how the mainstream truly feels.
The game has TONS of appeal. Open world, crafting, narrative driven and Zombies.
Lets not front like Walking Dead still isn't one of the most popular shows on TV.

They 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.

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 on
Didn't people hate on TLOU being a Zombie game as well? Give it a chance.

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.

Lmao saw the thread instantly days gone popped in my head cuz I knew ppl would start. Horizon all over again
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.
I feel like if you've been playing video games for even a small amount of time you should be aware that cinematic set pieces do not reflect standard gameplay. I gotta say that one's on you.

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.

- 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?
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.
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.

I think its a bit TLOUish myself but who know what the game will be like - both of the things I saw for it - last year and this year; both held their cards very close to themselves so I have no idea what the game's story is like. RN the game is a mix of TLOU + a 3rd person shooter with zombie hordes.
If it reviews well enough, I'll buy it for sure.
People love zombie games. The Walking Dead TV show is still huge.
That's how demos work for E3 presentations.

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 on

More 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.

on the one hand I'm proud and glad for Insomniac that this game will likely put them up their w/ the big dogs, but on the other it's sad that if this game is super huge they will have to put all their original IP dreams on the backburner for the foreseeable future... hopefully, it will push MS to fund Sunset Overdrive 2, tho!

If people aren't enthused that's their own damn fault. They're really sleeping on this game. All signs point to Days Gone being a cut above Dead Island, Dying Light, State of Decay, (insert zombie game). The setting alone makes it stand out.

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
And you can find gameplay of both year's demos that show alternate playthroughs. Plus multiple impressions and footage from this year's demo showing the dynamic weather and open gameplay
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.

This the same place that said battlefront would bomb,and was confused wildlands sold well. Ppl here kno nothing
So wait, why are there different numbers for Mario here than the OP?
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.
I've seen so many people excited for this game. Maybe not as much as GOW or Spider-man, but it's a good looking game with a lot of freedom.

Need for Speed has always been huge. There's a reason it's still getting games. I've been a fan since the olden days.
What is so hard by doing a little research on the game?

They've gone up since the OP compiled the numbers. They're going to update them later on as larger chunks of views come in.
Lol, if you say so.
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.

Open-world Last of Us sounds good to me. Days Gone looks fun, I really don't get the hate at all. Even if you say it looks generic and a mish-mash of plenty of other games, why is that a bad thing? It looks, well, good.

I decided to check the view counts for the three highest viewed Xenoblade 2 E3 trailers out of curiosity.
Nintendo trailer: 385,408 views
NintendoJPofficial trailer: 175,344 views
Nintendo UK trailer: 86,528 views
Total: 647,280 views. If the Nintendo UK trailer doesn't count because it's under 100,000 views, then the total count between the NA and JP trailers is 560,752 views.
