not much else to buy/play
Yep, this.
I keep forgetting this game even exists.
We are both going to get the same, they aren’t there.
Not sure I’d be congratulating those, with no reference, other then it was number 1. Especially with what 1 meant in the UK in previous months and how doomed and gloomed everything was. (For 1 country only reporting physical)
Well deserved, well deserved indeed. You sold somewhere between 1 and 1 billion. Congrats.
When you try to report sales figures, and omit half the data because you have no access to it, stupid shit like this comes around,.
The game buying public is not the same ones buying then, and using only physical is a piss poor way to prove it.
That’s why every single UK sales “report” come out looking like nobody is selling any games ever.
It’s time to stop using them as reference until they get the digital thing sorted out,
What's your theory on why it appears (at least according to many country stats and Amazon) that its doing better than Resident Evil 2 and Sekiro, at least in part? And those titles are doing very well. Its appears to be outselling not only other new IPs but old established zombie IPs.
I forget Assassin's Creed exists that doesn't stop it from selling a butt load i.e. people want to play it. It doesn't have to appeal to me for me to understand it does appeal to others.
If the game is bad, how many copies would it sell if it were even average? 20m units? Maybe the game is selling because it appeals to people that want this type of game, and maybe its actually good or a great game? Maybe. For the record, I don't necessarily believe sales = good.
I don't think the quality of Days Gone ever really mattered, the fact that it's an open world zombie game means it's gonna sell, people love zombies.
RE2 is a bit different in that it's an actual horror game and is designed to be relatively difficult compared to your typical video game these days. Horror + difficult = niche. Sekiro is hard as hell so it's automatically niche because of it.
Sony exclusive + open world + zombie = free money
Now you are offering a whole new line of why its selling, when you started with agreeing with the guy or appear to be that there "isn't anything else to play".
Maybe its selling because its awesome. Your new reasons are the reasons why people said on this forum it wouldn't sell - another open world game and another zombie game.
I don't care what other people on this forum said. Maybe it's selling because it was marketed well and has zombies in it.
I'm not interested in arguing with you over a game I have zero interest in, you asked me a question and I answered it.

And for the record yeah, there is nothing else to play right now. The release calendar over the next handful of months is pathetic.
No, you kind of contradicted your first statement, I was simply pointing it out. Its very apparent you do care, as I can see your post history. I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out your inconsistencies, imo.
There isn't? RE2, Kingdom Hearts 3, Sekiro, The Division 2, Mortal Kombat. If you're going to play that "there is nothing else to play right now", how'd Crackdown 3 do?
You are super defensive right now. Even using the tactic of labeling someone just to dismiss what they have to say instead of addressing it.... yeeeeeeeshMy post history?
You must be one of those guys that hang out on forums and youtube and just get into random arguments with people out of pure boredom lol. Why not go after the guy that actually made the original comment instead of the guy that agreed with him in passing?
Literally every game you listed already released, did you even read my post? And why are we talking about Crackdown 3 now?
The fuck is wrong with you people?

I've a general question.
When Deacon is hunting the deer in the woods when it's night, what do you do to get rid of the nearby horde? This is when Boozer radios you, and says they are low on food, so you have to hunt animals. This horde has killed me a lot, and I don't know what to do. The game doesn't suggest anything. In other parts, I'd know just to avoid them entirely.

I died a lot there too wondering how to do this then I rode down that hill a little and then left over a couple cliff faces although way down towards where the deers were and past and I was off the hordes radar and then went back a bit on foot and got the deer skins or whatever and then collected my bike rode back up and out of there. Not sure how this worked but it did as I tried to do the same thing riding down on the road and that did not work.I've a general question.

Not surprised by his revision by looking at Amazon US, but I think its probably doing a little better overseas, which is kind of shocking to me.
Zombies and good word of mouth, perhaps......Would be neat to see how it develops in the next few weeks. It seems DG is doing better than everybody thought it would....500k in Japan, is that even possible?
why is shocking ,people have different tastes in games and not all of them are that pretentious like IGN or Gamespot
Japan :
First week LTD Famitsu numbers:
- Detroit Become Human ~ 30k / 116k
- God Of War ~ 50k / 125k
- Horizon Zero Dawn ~ 109k / 281k
- Days Gone ~ 114k / 114k
- Uncharted 4 A Thief's End ~ 124k / 207k
- Marvel's Spider-Man ~ 132k / 415k
Japan loves zombie games!Beating even God of War in Japan? Wow. Open world are ded.
I appreciate open world horror games. The first example of that, I'd say was Silent Hill: Downpour in 2012 which had optional side quests that you could do to gain awards, but you were not forced to do any of them. The Last of Us is sort of like an open world game too, but not to the extent of Days Gone. I'm sure Days Gone is actually copying many things from The Last of Us.
The first section where you chase that guy on the bike, reminded me of when Joel and Tess had to kill that guy in the first level.
Yep, this.
I keep forgetting this game even exists.
Doesn't forget to post about it though.
Now you have been officially reminded
500k in Japan, is that even possible?
I'm quite happy with the open world aspects. I always found older horror games too restrictive. The areas were always poorly lit and uninteresting, until now.
A little additional info on Japan, not completely sure how they are coming to the conclusion, "even then sales of Days Gone were above expectations".
Im so on the fence about this game. Ive been waiting to read some user comments like in here. Im probably going to get it.
I have 70 something dollars in my PSN account. Had a 100 but bought Creed II a couple nights ago.
Wait for sale. I'd put this as a $40 game. There's too many performance issues for the regular PS4 and there could be some balancing tweaks that should be looked at.Im so on the fence about this game. Ive been waiting to read some user comments like in here. Im probably going to get it.
