Whoa....people not likeing the removal of a clock? That historically brings down the enjoyment of any game its implemented in.

Free world exploration anyday, basically GTA with zombies.

The clock added a lot to the immersion, some urgency instead of: Oh well he's under attack calling for help, but I'll first help this lady cross the street, do some jumps, break some crates, pick a few flowers and when I happen to be in the neighbourhood he'll still be there exactly the same as 2 hours ago.
It's the same as removing the clock from Tokyo Jungle, makes a completely different game. Indeed just GTA with zombies.

Well if you want to help the lady calling for help, it is in your power to do so......or you can go off on a tangent. Open world games tend to be better without deadlines. Nothing wrong with GTA with zombies at all.
