.[/QUOTE] OK..how is it "Generic", compared to what exactly? What does Generic really mean? It really doesn;t mean anything its lazy criticism, it's low hanging fruit.
What AAA game to you is not generic?
"this game is generic" What does that mean? Nothing's more "generic" than your take.

Well name another open world zombie game with fast movie zombie hordes that eat, sleep, , that also focus in biker culture? But you really never answer my question, in fact you dodged it.
Dying light was 4 years ago..and that was parkour, melee focused....and the Zombies are pretty different.
By your logic Sopranos is generic, because of how it looks.... Sounds like the folk who said Arthur Morgan was "Generic" based om him being a white dude.
So you just hand wave it away..got ya....were are all these open world zombie games peeps keeping saying exist? How do you know how the characters in this game are portrayed at all? You know nothing about these characters to even make these judgements lol. Your mind is already made up before the game is even out. Name one thing about the characters in Days gone that is generic and un-interesting?
I'm warming to it. As long as it has good pacing then I should enjoy it. I like that the zombies in the hordes are one shot kill. If there were that many combined with bullet sponge then it could politely fuck off :)
Hold up a minute. You said the game is generic and when asked to explain it you want to dodge the question and have someone waste their time backing up a point they didn't make because you cannot be bothered to back up your own view?
Please tell me what other open world games out there where they are seemingly intelligent horde of unrelenting monsters that I can play?
Have you not even watched the GB take on the game?
That shot is also very nice imo :)
Can you climb that mountain?
LOl yep, it's clear some have their mind made up and want the game to be bad before it's out..it's bizarre.
My take:
-The horde. They will never let up if they spot you, drive as far as you can and they will always be on your tail so you will end up having to get rid of them. You can improvise and lead them into an enemy camp or try some other way.
-The bike. The bike is your main transportation in the game so you need to take care of it and fix it when it breaks down. You need to refule it, it makes noise that could attract other enemies like freakers or gangs so you gotta plan around those mechanics. It is also upgradable in both cosmetics and mechanics so you can upgrade the fuel tank to have more fuel or install a quieter muffler to be able to drive around stealthily or you can upgrade the bikes inventory to allow you to carry more weapons and items. Losing the bike could be death because there are enemies that are faster than you on foot.
-The Freakers. These are living beings that need to sleep, eat, drink and create their own nests. The fact they need to drink and eat means they are more likely to be near a water supply though they can also be anywhere because they can move around. This leads to more dynamic encounters.
-The camps. Each camp can be befriended which leads to you getting help from them or making them hate you which leads to them being hostile to you.
-Weather. Weather is very important in the game. It can snow anytime (and yes snow will fall on the ground instead of disappearing). Rain will make freakers have a hard time hearing you.
-"Macguyver" mechanics. You will be able to use anything to your advantage whether it is scraps (crafting a silencer out of an oil tank is one thing they showed) or even the world itself if a horde is chasing you like in the first reveal.
There are more but that should give you an idea.
Thanks and sorry for that, will keep that in mind for the next time.
That shot is also very nice imo :)
The density of foliage is fantastic. This game went from looking somewhat unpolished to now being a graphical heavy hitter. Impressive.

Not after the latest trailer it doesn't.
Current build takes it up several notches.
These posts are great and appreciated, but sadly will be forgotten by the time the next thread comes around.

I'm not seeing any fauna in that screenshot, aside from some black specks in the distance representing birds.
I think an earlier post I made covers this pretty well.
Whoops, typo, meant to say foliage!
What if it is? I don't see the point of you arguing with people here about if days gone is an uninspired, generic open world game or not. You think that it is and nobody here is going to suddenly change your mind on that fact. Hell, I agree that it isn't the most interesting concept out there and yet of what days gone appear to offers I find to be rather appealing and maybe when it releases people who doubted it will be right and those who thought that it would be great weren't and I suppose one of the groups would be satisfied about being right and shove it down everyone's throat.
Are we still going to continue this so very interesting discussion? because I don't see the point of it but clearly I'm wrong.

My topic covers all of this stuff as well!

Really this game is doing quite alot not common in open world games so at this point I dont get some people.
My bad wasn't GB it was EZA, this was posted in one of Ninja's many Days Gone threads:
Thread should be a sticky at this point.
Though we all know people will overlook it for some reason.
It will just get handwaved away, poster above already doubled down and wants people to prove the game is not "Generic", this is a game that does not launch until April so apparently we need to be future tellers.. Then turns around and apparently he knows that the characters are generic without playing or knowing any plot, writing in the game. I'm still waiting for him to answer and not side step my posts questions.

I am just not going to sit here and explain this stuff for the hundred time to people not interested it a tedious waste of time.There plenty of vids and info out there not to come into a conservation with incorrect assumptions or info.
Hell, this is what I am going to do for now on. Just link that thread whenever someone ask why people are interested in the game.
Thanks for posting this. Hadn't seen it before. Sounds fantastic. Damiani of all people saying that the last zombie game to give him this sort of freedom and intensity was RE4 with the opening level. That is some pretty high praise.
Attractive white people equal generic. Although we don't really see too many tattooed protagonists or bikers so that's different to me.
That is a silly generalisation.... So if someone is white and good looking they are automatically generic? I don't but that at all, it makes no sense? Are we going to see "Generic" post in every game/character that is white now?
I'm not saying that! I'm saying that is the impression I get from people constantly saying Deacon and now his fiance look generic. I think it's ridiculous. He is no more generic than the typical lead in a Western developed AAA game.
I'll never understand why some people care so much that others don't like the look of an upcoming game they're excited for so spend literally hours telling them they're wrong or shouldn't be allowed to express their opinion on a forum.
To me the game has potential. I'll wait for reviews.

Yeah very uncanny valley
Lol, didn't expect this..... Wat game is dis???? LOL
Whenever I read 'generic' or 'uninspired' I just disregard the post altogether.
These two are just throwaway words for lazy people who can't find a better way to express their negative opinion while trying to sound smart.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be immediately accessible to everyone on these various PlayStation channels.
I think the invites to gaming media is just for marketing purposes and to maximise the effect of an epic new trailer. Like the Spyro eggs and the Crash dice that were sent to different gaming media outlets before it was officially announced.
Really? I mean okay, but uh....ghost of Tsushima? Horizon zero dawn? Gravity Rush? Bloodborne? Uncharted lost legacy? What are we even talking about anymore?
OP

Deacon as generic is quite frankly showing people don't even KNOW what the word means. I'd love those people to point out three more tatted up bikers in ALL of gaming
I was being sarcastic. I guess it didn't translate like I thought it would.
My mistake! Sorry! Sarcasn is hard to get across in written form sometimes

We know there are 6 different regions in the game,from dense alpine forest, lush meadows to desert lava fields, ancient lava caves,badlands, and snow fields. With small towns,mountains to cliffs and river basins,gas stations ,saw mills, ski lodges, mountain resorts, and golf courses ,just alot of stuff.
Looks great. Is there any info if there will be different clothes or caps.
I know most people do not care for that, but that is something that I like and care lol

Only thing we know is that it will change based on story progression.
Generally, I like all your (potentially) alternative origin scenarios. They would be good, I love anything post apocalyptic.
But I will just say that;
1) these aren't zombies so the dynamics of the game are different to standard zombie fare
2) do we know how the freakers got started? I might have missed a story nugget somewhere which gives some clues as to the origins of the game, but I don't think we have no idea yet how it started (maybe it is one of the things you've suggested?) but given that the enemies aren't zombies, 'generic zombie outbreak' might be entirely incorrect.
Anyway, I appreciate the decent response and your thoughts.
