Is Days Gone as bad as the critics say? Or is it as good as the fans say? I did not play this game, but I have a boyfriend who did, so it's about time some guy's girlfriend inserts herself into the conversation and makes everyone even more upset about Days Gone.

[@kirikakirikakirika]

One thing that drove me crazy was when the radio would beep and someone on the other end would be like, "Deacon? You there?" And instead of TELLING ME WHAT THEY WANT, Deacon would be like, "Yeah. You probably have a job for me, huh?" Then I'd have to drive all the way to the other side of the map, wasting time and fuel, to be given the mission. Why couldn't they just tell me over the radio and let me go straight to the mission site so I didn't have to make two stops?

[@elu9780]

Because it makes too much sense.

[@CB-lw7ty]

That wasn't the worst part of the radio for me, it was the points where you'd clear most of the missions, and as you're going to the last mission you would get 4 calls in a row to post new jobs one after the other, sometimes by the same person, it was ridiculous.

Days Gone was a weird one for me cause I went in with very low expectations after getting it for Xmas after pretty much skipping it at release due to what I'd heard about the bugs, and wound up loving it. By some apparent luck I never had any bugs (or at least nothing particularly noticeable) and other than a few obvious issues (Deacon shouting the whole way through regardless of the noise level around him) had a great time

[@Ralathar44]

It sounds like they went into the game wanting to force it to be a thrill ride and action packed zombie shooter and instead they got a fairly down to earth wholesome story. It's really weird to watch this video and then watch their Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk reviews. Their standards are not consistent and all over the place. Downright hypocritical at times. Honestly I bet if the main character of Days Gone was a woman with her wife with some more LGBTQ+ instead of a straight dood acting pretty normal most reviews would be praising it for it's heartfelt story. And that feels weird to even say, but that just feels like where are now. You make a walking simulator like Gone Home and you get praised by critics and influencers. You make a game like Days Gone and you get shit on. But if you look at the actual player reviews for Days Gone on Steam they are quite positive and completely out of step with critic reviews.

I absolutely loved Days Gone. The motorbike was great, and I really enjoyed leveling it up. The massive hordes scared me, and it was thrilling to destroy a horde through a combination of traps. Or better yet, lead a horde into an enemy camp and let them destroy each other! And the music set pieces were brilliant, like when the country music song just plays when you drive along with a near dead Boozer on the back of the bike. Those moments spoke to me. And to many others. For others it seemed those moments meant nothing or were cheesy. I’m not sure why it appealed so much to me and my friends, but it did.

I agree, a lot of days gone was actually quite fun to explore for me, but im a explorer at heart in video games, so i never really have problems with open world games like this, my expectations is that im going to spend hours anyways finding every secret, every upgrade, do every little thing, that i actually found the pacing quite enjoyable since, when i was done with my exploring i just so happened to be right next to my next main quest.

I finished it, even got the platinum trophy. (I have the PS Plus version that was provided for free…) While I enjoyed the latter half of the game, almost all of this video’s points are correct. From the forced slow walking to the unpolished gameplay (countless times I pressed square to do stuff just for Deke to pirouette in front of the thing and then stop). The shooting and stealth is fine. But the main character is such an a$$ for the first half, my eyes hurt from rolling. The one truly great thing from the game I still remember is the map. It’s relatively small but densely packed, yet it never really feels like backtracking. I wish more games will do it this way.

They're right, because everyone knows that the story of the grief of two selfish women, who eventually learn to stop being selfish and let go of hate is the same as... "Just promise to ride as much as you ride your bike"

@@Br-kc2jy Let go of hate? Bruh, Ellie killed all the innocent people around her and let the actual bad c*nt go at the end. And the Story made it seem that Ellie was the 'bad guy'. Riding Bikes in a Buggy Zombie Mess Game >>> The Last of Neil Druckmann.

Nah, one game has good survival gameplay and the other one has the same gameplay as the last game in the franchise but with names and a wiggly rope

I find both crappy but this is shitty shitty.

I’m surprised about this! One of the few games I finished to completion. But mainly because someone told me that the second half of the game is “like an entirely different game” - which was a straight up lie. I was hoping the game would turn into a settlement builder or something with your own camp.

@Evanz111 even though chances of a sequel happening are still slim rn, this is legitimately one of my big hopes for said sequel. Or at least having elements of a settlement builder introduced.
