Gameplay wise is probably the best game on PS4...extremely addictive and dynamic

as i said again if it had a diffrent cause of threat (aliens or mutants or smhting similar ) in order to not use cliched zombies and better concept design for protagonists (this rough biker culture is nt that relatable for everyone outside of US)...would have cleaned up the awards

jukins1103d ago

Best gameplay? Not to down the game but id say almost every ps exclusive displayed better. Its good but come on.

Sonic-and-Crash1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

@jukins yes you r right.. ...is not best but very good...... has dynamic gameplay which is rare phenomenon in games anymore...for example LouS2 has similar tps zombie action gameplay but is far inferior to Days Gone because it is very cinematic/restricted......

Kurt Russell1103d ago

No Zombies in this game mate. Only Freakers ;)

I must admit this was one of my favs of last gen. I get the negative points people brought up regarding pacing and why it may not fit everyone's tastes. But for me, I just got lost in the game, chilling on my bike. Took me ages to finish it as I was engrossed.

UltraNova1103d ago

Not the best gameplay on PS4 but definitely better than TLOU 2 for sure.

C-H-E-F1103d ago

Negative, Gameplay was bland story was dull Deacon yelled for no reason so much, characters were forgettable... it was just meh.. I still haven't beat it yet. Since they have PS5 enhancements I may try to pick it up again. I also haven't finished TLOU2 after the joel situation I lost interest in the whole plot. So i'm not taking shots at just Days Gone, a number of games have lost my interest last gen towards the end.

Orbilator1103d ago

People reviewed this game on the opening few hours and never actually played anymore of it, which can be a bit slow and off putting but get past that and it truly is an awesome experience

GottaBjimmyb1103d ago

Damn, I never played it (have no negative view either to clarify) but this is an extremely well done trailer. It is in my queue of games to play since I got it free on PS5 I think it just moved to the top.

IRetrouk1103d ago

Stick through the first section, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Knushwood Butt1103d ago

And freewheel on your bike.

frostypants1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Opening act is real slow though. Kinda like Horizon in that you gotta push through a bit before the gameplay opens up. Then it only gets stronger through the finale.

Dfooster1103d ago

Thats good news then because I'm really enjoying the opening few hours. It's like a daryl from the walking dead simulator and is quite zen when out on the bike and you come across places to loot and clear out. If the story get better from here on in then great.

BigBosss1103d ago

Lets not get a big head now.

RazzerRedux1103d ago

Yep. PC getting plenty of love these days. Like you say, keep it coming!

Skuletor1103d ago

If it's not a Bloodborne port, I don't care

thorstein1103d ago

Lol.

PCMR: That [insert amazing console game] is trash.
Sony/ Microsoft/ Nintendo: that game is coming to PC.
PCMR: Yeah! Great game, brah!

Also PCMR: Sony is garbage for not allowing crossplay.
Sony: We want what's best for our players.
PCMR: Sony is trash.
Sony: alrighty, here you go!
PCMR: cheat codes enabled.
Activision: 475,000 permabans issued.
PCMR: 😭

RazzerRedux1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Your rant is just triggered nonsense, especially....

"Also PCMR: Sony is garbage for not allowing crossplay."

Sony has been doing crossplay with PC for since PS3. Hell, when the crossplay with Fortnite controversy was spinning up, PS4 had already several games doing crossplay with PC. Hell, more than any other console. So why would PC gamers call Sony "garbage" for crossplay? Makes no sense.

Giblet_Head1103d ago

How hard did you cry while typing this?

Dwarrior1103d ago

@Razzer

Sony actually had crossplay with the original NFS Underground. PS2 to PC.

thorstein1101d ago

@Razzer

It just means that you haven't paid any attention to PCMR claims. I have been doing crossplay with PC since Portal 2 (and as DWarrior pointed out, since NFS underground.)

@Giblet

Are you seriously angry because your account got banned for cheating. (See, I can just pull nonsense out of the air too.)

Vanfernal1103d ago

I hope between making this game free for PS5 users, PS Plus subscribers and now having the PC release the game is successful enough for a sequel to be greenlit. There's so much potential for a sequel (and a tie in prequel) that I'd be a shame if it never comes to fruition.

LucasRuinedChildhood1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

They would need to change their pitch a bit.

They proposed a shared co-op multiplayer world in tandem with the single-player. That's exactly the opposite of what a sequel needed, tbh. The first game's biggest issue was a lack of focus (an "everything but the kitchen sink" kind of game). A Days Gone 2 should cut the fat and beef up the good aspects of the first game (Assassin's Creed 2-style).

With the PS5 on the horizon, their pitch probably should have centered on bigger hordes, larger more urban areas, a tighter story (gets going much faster), etc. Make the exploration a bit more organic like Ghost of Tsushima as well.

Vanfernal1103d ago

I just said I want a sequel. Not sure what your point is...

Kurt Russell1103d ago

I think I would have loved a co-op experience of this. Me and a RL Boozer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

@Vanfernal

I was agreeing with you that there is a lot of potential in a Days Gone 2, but pointing out that they'd probably need to adjust their original pitch/intended direction to reach that potential.

If Days Gone 2 was greenlit now, a shared co-op multiplayer world (part of the pitch for DG2) just seems like it would distract them too much from a sequel really needed and what people actually want.

Bluemaster771103d ago

Let’s go Jimbo keep em coming. We are likely gonna see PS studio games release day n date on PC moving forward.

jznrpg1103d ago

I don’t see that happening anytime this generation . 2 games have come so far and not anywhere near day 1 . 3 if you count Death Stranding but they stated it would be a PC release from the start and that wasn’t even day 1 .

ocelot071103d ago

Moving forward? So ratchet and clank is coming to pc in a few months? That's news to me.

In reality look forward to playing the Knack Collection coming to Steak and Epic stores later this year.

Christopher1103d ago

No other game coming out this year that's 1st party other than MLB The Show is doing this. Only second party and 2+ year old games have gone to PC from PlayStation so far. I think 'moving forward' is more than a bit off.

DOMination-1103d ago

It's actually published by Sony Mobile and not SIE.

Fun fact; Sony's Mobile department falls under their music division and is more profitable than SIE/PS Studios.

15 Biggest Unresolved Video Game Cliffhangers We May Never Get Answers To

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger71d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218371d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia71d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Days Gone | Trailer [GOG]

Days Gone is now available DRM-free from GOG

shinoff2183179d ago

Such a fun ass game. I enjoyed it alot more then I thought I would.

ravens52179d ago

We need a part 2 doesn't even have to be Deacon. But I had no problems with him either, he was a dude on a mission.

Cacabunga179d ago

My second favorite PS4 game after RDR2 hands down

neutralgamer1992179d ago

I think with Jim Ryan gone we may get a sequel down the road. It has become a cult classic

andy85179d ago

This was so fun I love the hoards. People need to stick with it because the start is very slow

MrDead179d ago

Has a really good PC port too, I wasn't expecting much from this game but I had a blast. Wish it had a part 2 as the story was building well.

jznrpg179d ago

It does take some time to get some weapons ,skills and a few bike upgrades up to feel like you got a rhythm going but then it really starts to click and the game is a lot of fun

shinoff2183179d ago

I was sad when it ended. I wanted more. I'd have to look but I think that was one of the few games I platinumed to. I only got like 4. I don't go out of my way for trophies though

Abnor_Mal179d ago (Edited 179d ago )

@shinoff same I only have 4 plats and one is Days Gone, and I also don’t go out of my way for platinums.

Was a very fun game and wish there would be a sequel, maybe one day they will come back to it with a different pitch that Sony will approve.

They probably rejected it he sequel because it might not have been the direction they were going for with gaas games and the like.

jznrpg179d ago

@shinioff I had the same feeling when I got the platinum. I need more. Hopefully they make a sequel and leave multiplayer out of it unlike the last pitch for Days Gone2.

got_dam179d ago

The critical reception had Sony relegate Bend to a support studio. Thank God the fans spoke up and Sony reversed that decision.

jznrpg71d ago

They have been working on a game for some time now and have said so

Knightofelemia179d ago

One of my favorite Sony titles too bad there is no sequel.

4 PlayStation exclusives, rdr2 and gta 4 and 5. Not one xbox made game.

zachyBROosevelt289d ago

What Xbox game should be on there?

Flewid638288d ago

Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome. They're the only 2 Microsoft games I ever enjoyed, probably because they felt like PlayStation games.

MIDGETonSTILTS17289d ago

What Xbox games are missing?

What Xbox games would even be candidates? The OG Xbox version of Chaos Theory?

SullysCigar289d ago

None - I took that as his point. There aren't any xbox games that are contenders for this list.

Abnor_Mal288d ago

“Not one ‘Xbox made’ game.”

“Made”

Yet people are throwing out games made by third parties that are exclusive to Xbox, which isn’t what the question asked.

MIDGETonSTILTS17288d ago

A simulator that was built for PC first hardly counts….

MGS2’s ice cubes deserved a mention.

ClayRules2012289d ago

Seriously, they melt🤯 that game, ahead of its time.

andy85288d ago

Blew my mind back in 2001 in the bar area, each bottle smashing individuallly when you shot them too. Never seen that before

ClayRules2012289d ago

I’m so glad to see Days Gone get some recognition, because it absolutely is a BEAUTIFUL looking game, and in other times, downright incredible, with its snow forming on the ground over time and the storms coming in with the winds blowing the trees is a sight to behold! I remember at one point I was using photo mode and snapped this photo (I swear) using the filters and other effects the shot I captured looked so realistic, it was remarkable. It was of a leaf 🍁 (others were around it) by this train track and the area was wet from the rain. I captured many others, which turned out fantastic. I’m sure ya’ll captured some fantastic one’s yourselves. Oh, and the horde of freakers 500 coming at you is insane and a sight to see. Wish we could get a sequel, Days Gone deserves it!

Uncharted 4 - Man, that game still blows me away still to this day. ND really captured the adventures of Nate, Elena, Sully and Sam in a way that was not just so stunning to look at, but in a way that EVERY new location, be it in a new area of this specific city, town, jungle, mountain range etc all felt truly living, with life. One of my favorite locations was the old lady’s mansion, such a simple mission, yet so fun, intriguing, sad, and intense all at the same time. And the richness of detail packed into the objects in that mansion is superbly detailed. Anyone notice the couch pillow in Nate and Elena’s house actually mushes down when she rests her arm on it when she’s talking to Nate about him taking the job? ND delivered with best in class character models, yet again. Dirt in nails, I mean🤯 I remember capturing a photo of Nate hanging from a ledge in Madagascar and I snapped a pic, zoomed in, and dirt was in his finger nails, that’s just insane detail. Add on the chest hair blowing in the wind lol.

RDR2 - Masterpiece of a game! In visual details, how this game still looks better than games nowadays (and they don’t even have to be open world) is something else. Fantastic character models, hair/facial hair that grows in real-time, awesome cloud system, NPC characters in the world actually eat their food, cut up their 🥩 among other new details being discovered these almost 5 years later, it’s amazing. Horse testicles. Has me intrigued to see how GTA6 will deliver in comparison to dynamic events etc.

The Last of Us Part 2 - ND took PS4 to its limits with this game. The level of detail in these models is striking, again, best in class, along with the environments. Foliage is phenomenal and doesn’t look like that “cheap” looking video game grass. It’s such a step up in quality. The gore is a visual ummm, I don’t want to say delight, but showcase for depicting how unforgiving that world is. The level of pain, fear and loss on the faces of NPC’s when you take their life in this game as Ellie or Abbie, man I always felt bad about that. And the dogs too… until the dogs came at me, than all bets were off lol. But again, there’s many more details that players who’ve not played this game must see for themselves to appreciate. Motion matching technology to me tho has to be the most impressive thing above even the visuals. Although both compliment each other, playing the game with the tech and the way everything flows so fluidly and smoothly is like playing an E3 demo, each play through feels just that damn good.

Rimeskeem289d ago

Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone. The game was great, just maybe not the same quality as other PS exclusives. They are on the right track though, for their first new IP since 1999 I would say they should be given a chance to polish in a sequel. I can only imagine the madness of hoards they can make with the PS5. Maybe add a coop mode so that friends can be like a biker gang together and take out giant hordes with each other.

Just seems stupid to not give the IP another chance given it (supposedly) sold extremely well.

jznrpg288d ago

As long as it stays single player I hope they do make a sequel. I really enjoyed Days Gone and It would be a guaranteed purchase from me. I have the collectors unopened for the first game.

StormSnooper288d ago

I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Days Gone. It would have some intense hoard fights for sure! This is from a mainly single player gamer. I would want a single player Days Gone II, with a solid multiplayer mode.

Rimeskeem288d ago

I'm not saying to make it massively multiplayer or PVP, just would be nice to explore and kill hordes with a friend or 2.

1Victor288d ago

@Rimes:”Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone.”

Personally I would prefer a remastered Warhawk, Starhawk or better jet a new game in the series even if it’s a GAS 😢
