Its painfully generic to quote Yahtzee from zero punctuation.
Except it really isn't.
It is August tho. Still impressive since the year is almost over."New IP" and "2019" make for rather restrictive criteria. 6th-best-selling game of the year seems like a more impressive accomplishment.
It's a really good game that deserves its success, but this might be the first time I have ever seen anyone unironically suggest that Days Gone is not generic.
Then you haven't been looking a lot. Tons and tons don't.It's a really good game that deserves its success, but this might be the first time I have ever seen anyone unironically suggest that Days Gone is not generic.
No clue, some people decided this would be the game they would use to drag Sony down out of a petty sense of console wars, I guess.
Days Gone is a really good, great, in fact, game that is the textbook definition of generic.
Ok now you have the money, so no more excuse. Give me this fucking Siphon Filter reboot.
I honestly think this is the real reason.No clue, some people decided this would be the game they would use to drag Sony down out of a petty sense of console wars, I guess.
Where you been. This was supposed to be the biggest bomb to ever bomb if you stayed on this placeWhy was Crow served?
Were people expecting it to NOT beat Anthem and Sekiro?
How are Siege and Horizon 4 still selling like hot cakes.
I don't see people throwing the term generic for beat em up or a plethora of platformers.

That's what's funny. People say it's copy paste, yet a lot of the same people would say they would rather play 2d indie retro plats that come out twice a day.Haven't played it yet. Still waiting for a deeper sale.
I've mentioned this before. There have been over 27 2D platformers on just a single platform this gen in the last 2 years alone, yet open world zombie games are referred to as generic or over played. I challenge someone to name me 27 open world zombie or horror games from the last 2 years lol.
You must be fun at partiesBecause it probably didnt. By what accounts ? Accounts like this ridiculous thread? US and China generate 70 billion dollars anually in game sales. Yet we make threads like this posting how UK generated a whopping 1 billion so far. The game has a couple hundred thousand sales and the posts we make are "its gonna set records" or it did extremely well.
People keep trying to artificially inflate this game so they can nab another one in the sony exclusives list worth playing. The middling reviews all of a sudden dont matter, but matter for other games where they align with the narative. User scores from metacritic became this solid reference and indicative of the game's quality overnight. Its pretty ridiculous the stuff around this game
I will never understand the pure hatred that some people have for this game.

You expected Days Gone to beat Anthem? How? If Anthem was half decent it would have murdered Days Gone.Why was Crow served?
Were people expecting it to NOT beat Anthem and Sekiro?
Did you not see people calling days gone to be a flop?Why was Crow served?

It was one of the most popular picks in this thread.
What do you think will be the biggest flop of 2019?
Eh...Days Gone was an okay game but congrats to Bend.
It took way too long to get going and then just dragged on. Game should've started and ended at theEverything before and after that was just watever3rd camp
oh and...Rikki>>>Sarah
Also good to see goat racer still selling well.
Do you listen to the Weapon Wheel Podcast by chance?
no? what is it?
Pfft o plz ain't nobody gonna say them things bout tlou2 lol ain't nobody gonna wrote a thesis on why clickers are zombies like they did freakers(yes this happened)I think some are just tired of zombies in general so they labelled it generic.
SoD2 had some similar complaints and I'm sure TLoU2 will face some too, but you can't deny the numbers.
Zombies are still a big draw.
