you're entitled to feel that way, but i've only ever posted in a days gone thread twice before, once to say that the gunplay looked bad (but that was based on the old trailers, not the new ones, and many people were saying that) and another time to say how awesome it was that sony didn't want to shoehorn a multiplayer mode into the game and how i appreciate their dedication to single player games. i don't make it my job to shit post in days gone threads. it's just that sometimes people are completely intolerant to anything except positivity and view it as shit posting.

You express your hate for the game in every Days Gone thread. We get it. You don't like the game. Now move on. No need to tell us once more.

damn you got me. all the one's you quoted are either not negative at all (i was making fun of someone who was comparing order 1886 and days gone and said they're similar), or they're in threads not about days gone. and the cover comment is just an obvious observation. but sure, you got me.

I really don't understand, if you truly have such ill feelings towards this game why not just avoid any topic discussing such game? Seems like a win win for all involved. Its obvious you aren't saying anything to warrant an actual discussion or reasonable argument, you're just saying trollish comments to get a rise out of people who may actually be looking forward to Days Gone (I am). Just move along, its the mature thing to do instead of inciting fights with people over the internet concerning a piece of entertainment software, it's really not that serious. There are literally 1,000's of games that might be right up your alley, surely you can engage with people who are interested in said games and ADD to Era instead of being a negative mark on the forum?

technically his design is generic not his character development etc
but people in the past assume the worst just based on the look of arthur, is the same story with deacon, they are both white "generic" male with generic clothes...

i'm not saying that deacon will be an excellent characters like arthur becasue it's almost impossible, but we don't know anything about him yet, we can only judge his look and VA (and i love both)

(sorry for my english)

Yet you chose just me to voice your opinion to and not any of the posts before mine claiming stuff like "the game will have an emotional narrative"

The invitation has context among other marketing they've done. We can infer a cliche incoming because the marketing itself has displayed cliches and communicated in cliches.

I called your post out because I still think you're reading a lot into a couple of invitations. I'll say the same to the other mostly baseless predictions.

People read the freaking mod post come on.

Rockstar invited GameStop to a RDR event so it has been going on for a while.

What I find odd is the lack of English media being invited (or at least there haven't been any reveal about the even from them).
Could be a Sony Europe thing but I doubt that, maybe they get the stuff later maybe it just a email for US who knows!

Come on, Sarah & Deacon. Why you sending wedding invites filled with blood from papercuts? I know weddings are expensive but jeez, have some extra copies.

Yeah, I agree. I love Deacon's look and voice too.

Your English is great. Don't worry about it.

It's heavily inferred in the first trailer for the game that the wife is dead right? Or maybe she's just gone? He says something to the effect of what he misses most is her and how she made him feel or am I misremembering.

your english is fine by the way, I have responded to you before in teh past you're good bro.

Totally i dont want to derail the topic with this I mean generic look as in white male darkk hair etc. meaning more diversity in the game with adding main protags with different backgrounds, colour of skin etc. Deacons design is nice by the way, I hope his character development is good as well

Oh yeah, you did admit that you didn't know anything about guns and then proceeded to say the gunplay looked bad even though it was very realistic for the type of weapon Deacon was shooting.

Lmao that was great insight from you. We're all better for it.

Yeah, gunplay will be very good imo.

Maybe I am wrong but I believe Bend devs have a lot knowledge about weapons.
And they will try to make them realistic.

Definitely was feeling like there wasn't enough fridged wife stories in male focused video games. Glad we're getting another one of those. /s

That's true, it must seemed heavily implied to me she's dead, but we really don't know.
the protagonist is pretty sure that is wife is dead, he mention his "dead wife" a couple of times in the gameplay trailer also he briefly discuss the fact with his friend during the same gameplay trailer.

but we don't know if she is 100% actually dead dead.

I forgot that Days Gone was a name for a different game and I thought that the title said, "Sora and Deacon invite you to their wedding."

damn my english is not that good, can you translate exactly what he says? they have the encounter with the freakers and deacon freaks out (pun intended), and then boozer start to talk about how deacon is always mad like that when he go somewhere and that is the point where i don't understand what he say...i hear something about a chopper...

This impression this game gives is getting better and better for me. I wasn't interested on the first reveal, but now I'm pretty close to pre-ordering it.

I'm not sure what the problem is with revenge or dead spouse plot points is. So-called "clever" plots never make for a good anything. Execution is all that matters - John Wick has a dead wife and wants revenge for his dead dog and that film is bloody great.

Can you name 5? I don't really remember the last time AAA game did this
We literally have a thread about it's prevalence in the medium. Like many sexist tropes in video games it's not something in isolation that's inherently bad but the prevalence. Like, it says so much about the medium that a hypothetical game featuring a male protagonist who's already married and has a wife who's prevalent in the plot and not heavily sidelined would be an outlier.

Do we know if she's dead and or plays an important role in this story?
