Sam Witwer talks Days Gone! - Electric Playground Interview

[@smite.7375]

Fu€k the reviews.Days gone is masterpiece.I love Sam witwer performance.

[@binary1123]

SmitE. While I do love & enjoy the game myself, it’s definitely not a masterpiece, it does indeed have its flaws that hold it back, we can’t ignore the facts, we can, however, enjoy the game, I personally love it, just wish most of the issues were fixed, I do agree that Sam Witwer did an awesome job as Deacon though, really interesting & cool character

[@draken865]

It's a masterpiece hands down

[@binary1123]

wes bd the story was a masterpiece, not the gameplay

[@draken865]

@@binary1123 both were masterpiece

[@flextape7323]

wes bd nah nah, I’m the only one who supports and loves this game like crazy, but it’s not close to comparable to Witcher 3, that WAS and IS definitely a masterpiece, days gone was greatly made for a certain group of people with its flaws for sure, but it’s just not comparable to Witcher 3

[@MedJayParis]

He’s absolutely brillant in Days Gone. His performance is so real, so powerful, so moving...I never felt something like this in a video game ! He’s truly a great actor.

[@derekhawkcherokeefire]

Sam Witwer did a masterful job as Deacon. Been a fan of his work since he portrayed DOOMSDAY on Smallville. Such a truly BADASS PS4 game. This is how you make a game release that makes you feel every emotion. And I haven't been pulled into an experience like this in a long time. GAME OF THE YEAR in my opinion. Killer storytelling and JUST AWESOME. THANK YOU BEND STUDIOS and EVERYBODY involved. 👍👍👍👍😎

Playing the game and i am quite honestly impressed at the scale of it, i thought i was done when i got to a mountain pass was not aware the story would continue on.

The reviews that were made by the so called professional game review industry at large made no sense to me, the game was awesome i got the whole people being annoyed the first 6-9 hours, because Deacon is very dark bleak and no hope but after the 6-9 hours he starts to change because of events that happen. The story had me from the start i did not mind his attitude and behavior it was a bit aggressive and he was angry and moody and i got that and understood why and he slowly changed and became more friendly and able to give a damn again.

The fact that they actually stuttered and spoke like real people was a breath of fresh air tbh. There were some hiccups in the story, namely boozer being completely underutilized, and how the scenes where you had to walk, they didn't match pace, but otherwise, it was just a solid game from beginning to end. Sad that Sony didn't want to Greenlight a sequel. The freaker evolution subplot had my attention the whole way and there was still so much more to explore there imo
