Days Gone | The Completionist

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

Which game didn't you like at first but really grew on you the more you played?

[@tylerbaldwin3269]

Dragon's Dogma. I had no idea what I was doing my first playthrough, and I hated the game, but I was too stubborn to quit. Once I beat the game and got better at the game, I grew to love DD.

[@Eezore]

Assault Android Cactus. Just another twin stick shooter, but the more I played the more I enjoyed it. I ended up getting S ranking on all stages because I just ended up loving it so much. A runner up is Fallout 76. Hated it at first, but ended up really enjoying it. I only played for about 3 weeks, but I was not enjoying it at all at first.

[@Vindicator12Music]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I hated it at first because I was an idiot and didn't know anything about Deus Ex gameplay. When I bought it, I assumed that it was just another run and gun first person shooter with a linear structure. Boy was I wrong........ I was confused as to why the gunplay was so frustrating and difficult, and also I was getting slaughtered on the normal difficulty setting. I hated it and put it down before I even got through the tutorial mission lol..... Then I learned that it was actually a role playing stealth game, and tried it again, and then my mind was blown lol.... Amazing game and still one of my favorites today.

[@iseein4d]

Moonlighter on Switch. The learning curve was a little steep, but after spending the time learning the game it was well worth it and is now one of my favorites.

[@Cassanova3119]

Fallout new Vegas I thought the game was clunky slow garbage but because I pulled through I found not only my favorite game franchise but also my 2nd favorite rpg behind kotor 2(which I didn't know was made by the same people at the time)

I love this game so much, I remember the first time I encountered a horde about 6 hours in, it was the death train one, and I was jusy riding along rode under the train and fell of my bike. I turned around and saw the whole horde charging towards me and holy shit. I literally screamed

[@davestationuk7374]

It’s the only game since ps1 resi evil ,that had me worried about travelling the game world. It’s really unnerving hearing the freakers and night travel was a big nope for ages lol

[@Rusted_Obsidian]

When I encountered it my jaw dropped cause WHY!

[@Vheone]

Honestly deacon is one of the most interesting protagonists I've ever played as. The way he sees things and thinks of things is really interesting. Like most people would would try to avoid the freakers, that the world isn't safe because of them. But he thinks of them as pests, he finds the humans worse, and treats the freakers as nothing more than an opportunity to do things that could work in his advantage. Many games make your character dull, like non emotional, but deacon is emotional, and makes you feel for him. And let's not forget his brother relationship, them two are bound.

[@danielcastillo591]

What I found more impressive is his huge hero complex and how his loneliness is PALPABLE Every single time he whispers to himself, or just talks out loud out of nowhere, I'm reminded this man has been out there for years, doing nothing but ride and hearing nothing but blood curdling screams But to go even further, we can hear Deacon yelling out in anger, calling others thiefs, murderers and rapists, I felt him I felt him calling others villains to feel less neutral, less ambiguous, more of a hero When life loses meaning, you either turn your life into a story, or you become lost in the routine, and Deacon turned himself into his own protagonist

[@bruhbruh4635]

Boozer best wife

[@dafle8]

ha

[@Dirty0o0Jester]

He has such a love of the world and the (worthy, in his eyes at least) people of it, it's deeply buried in his dry sarcasm that at first comes off as cynical. But being on the road with him he has so much more to say about life than just "urgh I hate freaks and marauders and miss my wife" he talks about deer crossings, looks at monuments and postcards and genuinely finds them interesting, he hated cell phones for how everyone seemed to live through those rather than enjoy the world around them and he has a ferocious protective streak for more than just he and his own. It just takes time to see

[@amuroray9115]

I like Deacon’s brutality. The way he handled the Rippers was intriguing. Iron Mike tried to take the pacifists approach and I thought Deacon would do it but instead he’s like “nah. Fuck that. They’ll keep coming for us.” And I liked that brutal realism he has.

[@aZombieDictator]

[@SaberToothPortilla]

To be fair, games are in a tricky spot as far as traditional review writing goes. The intent of reviews is that people, you know, be able to read them to either get entertainment, and possibly more importantly, make purchasing decisions. So you want them to be timely. This isn't a problem in any other medium, with the possible exception of books, but books also have much longer "hot" times because books don't come out as often and aren't as big of a medium, games on the other hand are very current, and you have at least a handful of big releases monthly. So you run into the question of how much is enough? Do you beat the game? Explore the whole map? Complete it? Does it change depending on the game? So game reviewers are in an awkward position. It is a bit sticky. I give them Lee-way for that, but at the same time, it would definitely be good to have more content covered than less. Personally I think, "Finished the main game" is appropriate for games that have one to speak of and 20 hours is good otherwise, but sometimes those can both be too slow. It's getting better with pre-release copies becoming a more and more common practice though, so that helps at least.

[@aZombieDictator]

The majority of critics didn't even get past the point Jirard was talking about. You wouldn't review a movie or book without seeing the conclusion, why review a game you only beat 20% of?

[@SergioapjChannel]

When I killed my first horde my felt my heart pump every time they got close, the amount of adrenaline from killing 100 or more freaks in one go is remarkable

This game made me not want to quit and keep trying to better my marriage. Just the way Decon wanted to better his life and give up the biker scene. It was an awesome experience and the ending was probably the best I’ve ever seen on any game, personally of course.

[@rikubear6549]

I love this game. I love how every encounter im the open world is unpredictable which brings the sense of anxiety and latent tension up to a 10. For example i went to kill a bandit camp at night was low on grenades and primary ammo so (due to thoughtlessness before leaving camp) they saw me start shooting. Their shooting atracted a horde. Hprde takes out camp. Horde sees me i jump on my bime and barely escape and barely make it to camp before running out of gas. Just a wow moment for me

[@timothyharasty9597]

I’m ok with the beginning. Introductions are meant to be slow tempo and ease you into the game. It also gives you questions and stories that won’t be answered for a while, and make you question what will happen, so you can always look forward to find the answers. In short: the games leave multiple pieces of a puzzle for you to figure out so you have a goal for closure, which I love.

[@Belgar]

Funny how for me, my PS4 Slim was fully capable of running the game smoothly when rendering a full horde on my screen, but sometimes fps went crazy when I was just riding my bike.

[@Luke-xi2pq]

Just platinumed it recently and even did a second NG+ playthrough on survivor difficulty immediately after! Really enjoyed it, despite it's many flaws in story pacing and overall polish, it still stands out as a really noteworthy and praiseful experience! I can see anyone, including myself, giving the game a 6/10 realistically, but when you consider game critics and journalists who give every generic AC and CoD game a 8 and 9 out of 10, that's when we get pissed! For me, it's a solid 8. Solid story with some faults in pacing, really great characters, hit or miss dialogue, fun gameplay that does get a little repetitive along with the open world objectives, a sometimes messy but still enjoyable hybrid of various game mechanics, good graphics even though it has many technical problems to this day, plenty of free updates and DLC, etc.

There's a quote that goes something like "99% of bikers are law abiding citizens" from back when bikers started to get a bad reputation.

I bought this game when it first came out and I just couldn't get into it. I thought it was trash. Just recently I was looking for something new to play and remembered I had this game. Fired it back up and man what a good game with a great story. Now if I can just wait 2 more weeks for Elden Ring. 🙏🏻

[@Proloyable]

The Horde mechanic is what makes it different than other zombie games. I have never been terrified in my life playing a game and making a sound in-game so that nearby hordes are alerted until I played this game.

[@DingbatToast]

Awesome review. Picked this game up cheap last month. Most bugs have been fixed no frame rate issues on the pro for me and like you say, give it a few hours and you're hooked! Platinum'd it and going back for new game+ The hordes man!!!

"possibly of the outlaw variety. It's never explicitly stated that he's an outright criminal." Deacon wears a 1% patch on his kutte. 1%ers are outlaw bikers.

[@Itspeezy]

I’m new to this channel and all I gotta say is that beating a game is a now or later type deal, but COMPLETING IT That’s a commitment

[@DingleCerri]

Your initial thoughts were the exact same as me, and then I became so thankful that I kept playing as the game continue to bloom in, both, story and gameplay. What a fantastically underrated game.

[@Pinkheartsequalfamily]

Me too, i got this game free with ps plus and recently started playing on my ps5. I went in with low expectations. As i progressed i was in genuine awe of how good this game gets. Killing an enemy with a headshot in slo mo using focus is one of the most satisfying thing I’ve ever experienced in a game.

[@himynameisfin]

I just finished it, played my first play-through on survival and would recommend it to anyone. Survival in particular isn't much harder than hard, and the lack of a HUD is actually more of a selling point than a deterrent as the game looks beautiful and sucks you in. A couple of tips for survival that I haven't seen anyone mention... Make sure you have your controllers vibration turned on if you don't already, and consider turning the icon sizes up in the settings menu; the lack of an easy access map means the detective sections can be pretty difficult to get through and these changes will make it much easier to track clues.

[@Mr.Glitch]

This was the first game i've ever platinumed on the PS4, I was hooked! Looking forward to seeing what they do with the free DLC>

I just completed the entirety of Days Gone today...every horde, leaving me with a sad 98% completed screen. This game is one of the best I have ever immersed myself into. The early reviews fell short of how this title is truly captivating. Let's have a part 2. Please

Why dont you get it to 100% now, it might be fixed now

[@chunkysalads5663]

Yeah the only thing that annoyed me was the fact that all the different story lines are mixed and entangled. It gets hard to remember what happened in each one

Music is so good.. helps build so much atmosphere along with that weather system and day/night cycle. They all work together so well..

[@Shaathurray]

I want to personally thank you for this video Jirard. I had written off Days Gone aswell and you going over it convinced me to give it a chance. I'm soo happy i did. It blew all my expectations put of the water, even if they were pretty low to begin with. Days Gone is def one of my favorite games now. I don't think it did well enough for a sequel to be viable but the setup for it can work so well. Good tidings.

I can’t believe days gone 2 got cancelled. I’m actually gutted. I’m disappointed in Sony

Fully agree. Just pure fun, and even on my second play through, it still hasn't had a grind feel. And I've never had a game put me so on edge to where as soon as I could save, I put the controller down for a smoke and a beer

[@ryanhart8740]

Best game I have ever played, absolutely love this game, the characters, the story, the quests, the hordes, the music score, I have now played through the whole main game 2 times to completion and I’m currently playing the challenges, but it’s already itching in me to start playing the main story in the game all over again…

[@thesilent_gamer5137]

Great video, I agree either you. This is the only game that made me want to buy a PlayStation since the days of the PS1. Yep those demos did the trick. This is one of the best games, I've played in 49 years of gaming. It's a great pity SONY didn't greenlight the sequal. So I created my own game within the game itself. I call It The DAYS GONE A NEW AND TOUGHER CHALLENGE. I invite anyone that loves the game to try it out. You will get out of it what you put in. You want to just travel from A to B, do it. You want to take on everything , you can do that too. Great video

[@ColeEdits]

I love this game. Got it a day early and I'm still playing, I don't get how people are saying it's so bad. It's nowhere near a 6 or 5 out of 10 like IGN and Gamespot say. There are FARRRR worse games that get higher scores. Call of Duty, AHEM. It's like people just WANT to dislike this game or have it fail. Every week I'd see a video leading up to its launch from these big review sites saying how they have no hype for it. That's fair, but that should not impact the score which it clearly did.

[@Mr.mma99]

They only want what they want to see in the game .u know they give the undertale 10/10 and they give 6.5/10 for days gone i want to suicide man

The new challenges allow you to take down quote, unquote endless hordes of freakers. along with milestones for completing tasks during each challenge, it's a fun extra bonus you can play regardless of how far you are in the game

Okay I know this is a small thing but I love when games are based on real locations, and being from Oregon I think it’s so exciting that I recognized multiple IRL landmarks, like that map shot of Crater Lake and the separate pop up on the screen about Diamond Lake. I think I may need to try this game!
