days gone does right what rdr2 did wrong: they implemented fun gameplay. bitching and moaning about this title in blogposts is just attentionseeking :(

Days Gone would have been better if they tweaked things just a little.

If they had just made DSJ a little less cringe worthy by changing him into someone who's not a biker with a baseball cap on backwards. And then perhaps slightly changing him so that he's someone completely different but actually interesting.

They could then have tweaked the AI just a little to emphasise the "I" part of the "AI."

Maybe they could have slightly changed it so you're not repeating the same cardboard cut out missions over and over and over.

Then finally a slight tweak to history, if Bend could go back in time and and make sure Days Gone never existed, that would do wonders for Days Done.

Journos don't like white male protagonists, especially when they are bikers. They also don't like gamers, which is why they will give 8's and 9's to grindy generic games that are filled with MT's.

If it had been delayed again I have a feeling we would’ve started seeing “what is happening with Days Gone?” articles from those journalists who gave it bad scores.

For me the game keeps getting better & better. I like riding that bike, I like increasing the encampments’ trust & unlocking the upgrades & weapons, I like using the crossbow on rippers & the guns on them freakers, I like getting surprised attacked by hordes (I scream like a little girl when it happens), I like Deacon, the story & by God I wanna know what is going to happen!

Bottom line I am having fun :)

Mint game, kited a massive horde up to a camp but I didn't see the traps which knackered me bike up, I just managed to get over the brow spluttering engine but just managed to roll down the hill and the horde veered off and wiped out the camp I wanted to the sound of mad gunfire while I hid near, a couple of attractors and pipe bombs took care of a load of horde then just mop up the rest
Got a small taste of this with left behind pitting infected against humans and its really well done here

I disagree, I mean, I'd be okay with it, but the rough edges haven't really taken away from the experience for me. The game is a lot of fun, give it a try, I truly don't know what the negative reviews are on about, hasn't been my experience whatsoever. Many of the complaints about the game either don't seem to exist, or don't even make sense.

I've been playing for about a dozen hours and I'm loving it, especially the stealth aspect as those type games are far and few between these days. The game does have a few issues that keep it it from being the top shelf PS4 exclusive we're used to, but alot of the glitches and bugs are shared across many Unreal engine games (they should have used an in house engine). I do think the reviews are way off (and biased) though (don't know why), I haven't seen a game get this much Journo hate in years, it's like they all gathered ''Legion of Doom'' style and made the decision that this game had to die! I know it can't just be about glitches or the game not being AAA, because every time a mega developer sh!ts out a new ''micro transaction simulator'' disguised as a game they jizz themselves on the way to the keyboard to praise it. [P.S.] DSJ does come off as quite insane sometimes, and I absolutely HATE the backwards hat. These are just minor observations and personal opinions though.

As said before it wouldn’t have mattered, game journalists made up their minds as soon as they saw the protagonist was a white dude, honestly speaking the best option is to ignore reviewers and judge a game for yourself. I’ve been doing that for a decade and haven’t regretted it.

I love it. This game is like Guardians of The Galaxy first film.

FUN

Not for nothing, but Skyrim was literally broken and it received 63 reboots. What's with the double standard? A huge studio gets leeway with issues, but a smaller studio is held to a higher standard? Ok.

Yall nuts iv had zero issues

I can see this. There’s some frame dips in places. Nothing major. But in the third act there are two places that made my frames drop well below playable levels. But as soon as I leave those areas it’s fine again. So those areas def could have been worked on a bit. Rest of the game has run fine. No crashes or broken elements.
I just finished replaying Witcher 3 before this came out and omg CDPR kinda broke the game since I last played it at the end of 2017. When I played it then everything ran fine and I encountered no issues. Now there are MULTIPLE quests that are just broken and can’t be completed. So coming from that to this I don’t see many issues. A little technical fine tuning for an extra month or so would have been fine at most.

Wow, people at N4G are incredibly misogynist and narrow-minded, who would've thought?

So much unjustified hate for this game it's a joke sure it's not for everyone but it's no different from other open world games I'm loving mine xx

Couldn’t disagree more, sick of these morons and their negativity. The game is a 9/10 for me. Having a blast with it. Sales numbers are great as well. These same so called basement game journalists gave far cry 4 a 9/10 this game is so much better IMO. A true gem. Check it out yourself.

Oh shut up. So much negative. The game is selling well and many people are enjoying it.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
