Nothing About Days Gone's Deacon St. John Makes Much Sense

Author "From his absurd name to his backward facing cap and tacky rings, Days Gone protagonist Deacon St. John resembles a caricature of a gruff biker-gang member."

Gonna wait for a sale, for sure, but I’m still intrigued by this game tbh.

Larrysweet2206d ago

its great right along horizion spidey dont let media fool ya please...im hooked

Sharky2312206d ago

I agree with you. Games are suppose to be fun! This game is sooo fun! Sure there’s little things you can nit pic about, but in the end this game is fun! It might not be the greatest game ever. It is definitely a good game!

Spenok2206d ago

I went in wary, and boy am I happy I did. 5 straight hours last night and I couldn't get enough. Stoked to play it more when I can.

Seraphim2206d ago

@ Sharky231
that's exactly it. With any game there's going to be things one can nit pick about but at the end of the day they're all still dam good-great games. It's just that everyone has different expectations, preferences, etc and no game will ever be flawless.

MoshA2206d ago

uh no it's not. Do not compare garbage studios to God-tier ones. Damn, Sony doesn't need low iq followers like you, they got to where they are making GOOD games. Go to Xbox or PC wtf.

ion6662205d ago

Word. Plus some biker do look like that. They're just beta males. Lol

Love the game so far, but I too continually laugh at his porn star name. Lol

alexgibson2206d ago

The fact that this got 4 down votes is also hilarious. People are so tribal man.

jagermaster6192206d ago

Pretty sure people downvoted him because he said he loves the game.

"Porn star name"....ahahahhaa...

Wow this article is full of s****. Basically because there attire resembles a real biker gang in New Zealand both the games protagonist have to be cartoon level villains that punch babies. Seriously the stupid s*** people are using to bring this game down is getting more retarded this is a fictional game set in AMERICA.

alexgibson2206d ago

A biker thug is not a relatable character, though. He could be if the story was super compelling, but it isn't.

Deacon isn't even a thug anyway, he's this corny gentleman; tattoos, rings, a backward capp but a sweet heart with mild manners.

He's nonsensical! That's the point.

Give me an edgy violent story with an edgy violent protagonist, or give me something totally different. Dont give me this fantasy biker caricature that isn't one thing or the other.

pwnmaster30002206d ago

Have you played the game? just asking because I love deacon. Imo he has flaws but he isn’t bad. I do believe him being a white male biker gang look makes people not like him at first glance.

And not relatable? Master chief (which by the way Halo is in my top 5 favorite IP) isn’t relatable. Shit in the first game he barely spoke a word.
And jak didn’t even speak in the first game but was still loved.

So far I’m liking him and his story.

BLow2206d ago (Edited 2206d ago )

Where are you at in the game? Just curious if I'm going to really take you serious since you seem to know about the story.

sinspirit2206d ago

Stop replying to every comment against you.

Some kinds of people are corny. That's a risk of being or looking different.

You'd think someone that tries to write in some capacity would understand not judging a book by its cover. Same goes for characters in books. He doesn't have to look the way his personality is. Bikers aren't generic bad attitude people either. What are you talking about? He can't have manners without wearing a collared shirt or suit?

Yeah, I'm sure you couldn't relate to someone that doesn't wear outfits to represent how they're feeling that day and someone that has manners regardless of rough backgrounds or not.

Not all stories need to be relatable. How many Game of Thrones characters are relatable?

OB1Biker2206d ago

Your 'give me, give me' just sound entitled.
Scar is right. It's just fictional characters in a video game. The real world has much more non sensical crap and you actually know it haha
You could just as well argue Nathan Drake or Kratos don't make sense. Well they all actually do make sense as part of a video game.

Sharky2312206d ago

I personally know a lot of bikers and while they can be rough if need be. Most of them also have an emotional side. Not to get all Deacon but they do have a certain code or way they go about things. So I don’t think ole deek is too far off the mark!

BlackTar1872206d ago (Edited 2206d ago )

so bikers are not thugs in every part of their life, obviously, you know none. Most could barely be or not at all classified as criminals. probably 95% or more of bikers don't belong to Media sensationalized biker gangs and most biker clubs dress the same as each other with a few things to distinguish the clubs apart ex. patches.

I know a bunch of "Bikers" that are complete gentleman most of the time, yes they have a hard side to them not all but most but so do most normal people, maybe yourself included? I dunno your article seems a bit silly and the premise is a bit shallow where you think certain things define what a person should be or shouldn't be.

How about this take your box you put people in and take them out and throw away the box? I think you'd be happier if you perceive people based on their looks then that's a personal issue and goes much deeper.

Days Gone PS5 Is a 'Really Good Piece of Work', Say Tech Experts

Sammy writes: "Back when Days Gone Remastered was announced, many fans were squinting to see the differences between the excellent original PS4 version and its PS5 re-release.

But now with the game readily available – and our 8/10 review declaring it the “definitive version of a fan favourite” – we’re beginning to get some meaningful tech analysis.

And according to Digital Foundry, this is not just the bare-bones resolution upscale some had anticipated – “a lot of effort has gone into it”, according to the tech experts. "

First game sell well enough to warrant a sequel? Our received well enough?

Alos8811d ago

It sold well but reviewed only okay, which apparently wasn't enough for Sony.

Cacabunga11d ago

Sold well and received even better.. had a bad first month due to technical issues but ended up being one of the best games from last gen

Knightofelemia11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

That's the nature of the beast. If a game like a movie does not meet certain numbers then they write off the franchise. EA scrapped DS2 because the DS1 remake did not meet certain numbers. I was hoping the remaster of DG and the fact it also came to PC would convince Sony to green light a DG sequel.

PanicMechanic11d ago

Critic reviews were appalling. The worst reviewed game I’ve ever seen. By that I mean, poor quality journalism, dishonest writing and review scores which are out of touch with fan reception.

Cacabunga16d ago

Huge difference i must admit, but not sure i would notice without 2 screens next to each other.

Not getting this game still, i want a new game and im tired of remasters

Muigi16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

It’s $10 and there are plenty of games out there for you.

Flewid63816d ago

Then its not a huge difference?

Killer2020UK15d ago

Of course you wouldn't, nobody would. If you have never experienced the other, then you don't have the reference needed for comparison.

TheEroica15d ago

Sony getting ready to milk some more people on dumb products.... I can see the psvr1 and 2 owner salivating over days gone remaster. Lol. What a ruse song is pulling.

Knushwood Butt15d ago

How can Sony milk customers if it's such a 'dumb product'? If it's so dumb, nobody will buy it, and there's no milking.
Plus, there's nothing preventing people from getting a copy of the PS4 version.

Babadook715d ago

As a PSVR2 owner. Yup. If there’s a VR version I would be there day one.

Greg280115d ago

There are plenty of people who never had a chance to play this game, now they can with the remaster.

Don't understand why people who already played the game complain about a remaster. No one is forcing you to buy it. There are plenty of new games to play

MoonConquistador1d 13h ago

And then there's a group of people who did play the game, thought it was awesome and would be happy giving it another play through.

Unfortunately I'm one who only got it on the PS5 instant game collection so no path for a 10 quid upgrade for me.

marioJP8715d ago

Huge difference where? Besides blue color filter and darker lighting?

Remastered.....

Tedakin16d ago

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Bathyj16d ago

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

andy8516d ago

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

MoonConquistador1d 13h ago

One of my favourites actually, I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end.

Kosic15d ago

And it's not even a big overhaul remaster. It's list turning up the graphic level by one. It's quite embarrassing, as the original wasn't that bad. And the remaster isn't that noticeable

PanicMechanic15d ago

“And it's not even..”

Bugs bunny NO meme

TheEroica15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Poorly remastering if images are to be believed.

Tapani15d ago

To me it was very close to The Last of Us Part I. It was that good quality.

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM16d ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH16d ago

It was full of bugs at release I wouldn’t call that being unfairly judged. If you want your game to score well then release it in a completed state. Now with that being said I think the game was pretty good.

Knushwood Butt16d ago

It really wasn't.
The worst I encountered was a horde spawning on top of me when exploring a cave.
Did you even play this at launch?

S2Killinit15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

It wasnt full of buggs, it was very playable. That was the excuse for the hit job at launch before people started to speak up about how great the game was.
