Days Gone isn't that bad...

[ISmokeTooMuch]

Bought it on sale and actually enjoying it even though it's a bit of a pain in the ass to ride everywhere and the main character is pretty fukkin annoying.

I'm sure the bugs are all fixed by now (only had one in a cutscene with an invisible bike). All bugs aside, not sure why this game was trashed on reviews. It's pretty solid and looks nice. Main character is fukkin lame sure and the biker gang chit is kinda cringe but the gameplay is pretty fun.

[rectifryer]

what its fantastic???

[yabbayabba]

Story and characters are cliched to hell and the story kind of drags (and lots of bugs at launch) are some of it. But I think the main reason it got ripped so much is a straight, white male saved the day.

It's in my top 5 PS4 era games.


It got slept on HARD due to extremely mediocre reviews from cuck sites like IGN.

[FawkinJuicy]

It was one of my favorite games of last year (along w/ Persona 5). It's one of the best story games I've played in a long time, and some of the songs on the soundtrack are excellent.

[iZZmatic]

It's not bad at all. I've been one of the biggest supporters of it since I got it a few months prior to the ps5 release, then even more so on the ps5. Game's a total gem.

Seems like a decent zombie game but I find zombies to be very boring enemies, the combat always surrounds getting bum rushed all the time.

[Weezy32]

Its one of my favorite games and i HATE zombie games.....how dare you say its not that bad its a masterpiece with amazing story.

I mean, no, of course not. The problem is so many people thinking a low 70's overall critic score is BAD. It's not bad. And the user score is in the 80's.

A game being "good" doesn't mean it needs a 90+ overall critic score. One of my favorite games of the last year (Paper Mario Origami King) has an 80 overall critic score. I'm enjoying the Medium, and it has a metascore in the low 70's, although higher in steam reviews.

Critic scores matter, but don't solely determine whether a game is good or bad.

It's a good game ... I never finished it, but got halfway ... It's just completely unnecessary imo, another open world game that plays it safe and doesn't really do much other than refine the overall experience compared to other open worlds and adds a few cool twists such as the big amount of zombie hordes.

[Nocturnal310]

it was an enjoyable game and i loved the scenery.

oregon is starting to look a lot like the game with all the antifa protestors who are kinda like the zombie horde lol.

the riding physics of bike werent as good..steers weird.

[mgftp]

OP, if you are enjoying the beginning get the lube out as it really rachets up as you go on.

Just another top tier Sony exclusive on the list of many.

I found this thread, as well as many like it recently when I finished DG: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=178256451

Name an open world game that is better. Days Gone > Ubisoft and Rockstar trash.

Rockstar trash? You trying to say days gone is better then gta and rdd?

Now I know you drank the Kool aid

Yes, absolutely. RDR2 has some of the most clunky and unsatisfying outdated game mechanics outside of Bathesda games.

GTA 5 is definitely way better than Days Gone. It's not even Rockstar's best open world game, but GTA V did an incredible job with its open world despite being many years older. It's probably one of the best open worlds ever made.

Immortal Fenyx Rising is on par with Days Gone. Going back even further, Skyrim and Oblivion is still better than Days Gone or even any other open world released recently. Mad Max is about the same as Days Gone and I love that game. I'd even go as far to say that as far as creating an open world that felt alive and believable, Watch Dogs 2 did a really good job and better than Days Gone, even though the story and gameplay was piss poor.

Ghost of Sushima did it better, even though it's not too impressive either.

I wouldnt put Days Gone as some genre defining game. It's still very good, but like I mentioned before, it just refines the current genre with its better visuals and story telling/graphics. It's pretty much an extremely static sand box game with very little interactivity or the whole "living breathing world" that open world's generally try to market themselves as.




The majority of these open world games are just nothing more than massive sand box games where you get a check list of things to complete. Rockstar and Bethesda are the only two companies that come to mind that actually give a fuk to make these worlds these worlds have a semblance of life.

I think avengers is fun and you think days gone is better then gta. Guess we are both retarded. Except I don't actually think avengers is good I just think it can be fun. You actually think days gone is better then gta. And the entire world disagrees with you.

I said RDR2, but yea it' better than GTA as well, although that doesn't mean much being GTA is as old as it is now.

Disagree with all. HZD is in the ballpark at least. And to be fair I hate RPGs so not a good judge of W3.

I would say its better than RDR2 not GTA5 though.

[ScramFranklin]

i know mgtfp hasn't even played most of those other games (maybe none of them except horizon), he's just saying it because sony made day's gone, therefore it's better. If you played them all and feel that way, that's fine. But that's definitely a hot take, most people don't think day's gone is the best open world game ever made. I enjoyed it though.

[mgftp]

GTA5 released nearly 10 years ago now and maybe at the time of playing it it was better than DG was at the time of playing it, but I challeneg anyone to play both games through today and say GTA5 is the better game. I promise GTA5 is not as good today as you remember it being a decade ago.

Bro, stop being so upset. Out of your list, racing fans would pick Forza, Nintendo fans would pick Zelda, RPG fans would pick Wither3, while autists would pick HZD, and LoL@ including Sunset, just LoL. There is obviously things such as preference and taste in consumable media. If you could stop crying and calm down enough to think clearly I think you have to admit Days Gone (PS5 version BTW) is without a doubt in that conversation as best open world game and would be the choice of many people.

I'm not upset, I'm not crying. I'm thinking perfectly clear. Insulting me does not add anything to whatever point you are trying to make.

Stop being a cheerleader. If you calmed down enough to think clearly, you'd see having a game made by one company that you are a fan of, doesn't make it amazing. And that lots of good games are made by a variety of companies, and it's silly to be a fanboy of the makers of your favorite plastic box.

It's fine to have preferences in what you consume, but the only thing the games that you adore have in common is that they are published by the same corporation. That's why you are a fanboy.

Will it strengthen my point if I say "stop crying" or "bro why are you so upset"?

None of that has anything to do with the points I made or is even true. Stay angry about the minivan comment.

Dude when is the last time you played it? On pc it's still a top tier game craphically and for game play and driving. Online is still populated and they still release content even if it is a pay to win scheme. Days gone is no where near it for any aspect of game play. Shooting in gta is still better, driving, graphics, ai...basically every aspect. Days gone is impressive with the amount of zombies it puts on screen I'll give it that. But literally in no other aspect is it better then gta. And this is before you even enter the world of mods.

Bro I know you troll and we troll and everyone trolls this section but you are clearly retarded in every way if you genuinely believe days gone is better then gta.

Gta seems like an old game to you cause you play on console straight up. The gta console experience is laughable at best. I played that **** when it launched on 360 and again on x1 and lmaooooo when I played on pc I realized how cucked it was for consoles.

[ScramFranklin]

that comment wasn't even in regards to me, nor was it long ago. It was just a post that the only reason to buy a switch was to play in a vehicle or something.

I think you just like to troll. Because I can't imagine just liking games because they are all made by the same corporation and dismissing other games because they are made by your favorite corporations competition.
