Loved it from day 1.
Have 260 hours in the game.
Beat it 3 times.
Beat all the challenges.
100% trophies.
Managing fuel is easy. Just go easy on the throttle, freewheel when you can, and upgrade the fuel tank as a priority. There are cannisters of fuel all over the place.
I agree with you guys. This game was a lot of fun. Had a lot of replay ability for me as well. My son loved it as well. We had a lot of fun playing through multiple times.
Well done sir! First time I played it I was disinterested after the first hour. People said, give it chance give it a chance. So I did and then ended up platting it. Loved the game and its horde mechanics. Music was great as well.
Just got the game.... it's horribly generic and your typical zombie game that doesn't really do anything different other than a motorbike I guess lol. I think it deserves another chance but I hope Bend can take notes and really improve on the next game. If Bend can't make a great game the next time I....think they should get the boot here Sony...
This guy gives off the typical basement gamer who's only opportunity for accomplishment is through videogames. How about you play it all the way through before casting any judgement. How many times have you died? What is an example of a unique zombie game since Days is so generic?
Exactly, off topic I've just finished that "medium" game and thought it was great.
Not sure why it god all the average reviews in Xbox.
Yes it's not scary but the story is cool and alittle disturbing.
Honestly, I agree. I feel very mid very disjointed. Blacking out between cut scenes and gameplay iss not smooth. Ultimately gave up on it after like 25 hours. Was really buggy too. Once Last of us 2 came out. I forgot about days gone in 0.2 seconds.
Generic? I've seen more generic games get a free pass to be honest
Also, I've never seen a Zombie game yet that does the massive hordes that this game does, it feels tense, there's a ton of them that come for you and it's nice to see a game throw so many at you at once.
Haha, I just remember in one of the Syphon Filter games back on PS1. You had to go into a building called "The Place". Always found that funny. I would love to see it return though! My cousin and I used to love the split-screen multiplayer in Syphon Filter 2 as well! Made for a lot of fun late night matches.
Sony have franchises that are far more deserving of a comeback than Days Gone. Legend of Dragoon, Syphon Filter, The Getaway, Killzone, Resistance, Socom, MotorStorm, etc.
As every one of those games can be granted a sequel, there's no reason that Days shouldn't be on that list as well. I'm not sure if any of us have the ability to measure worthiness of any title in a company none of us manage. Just a thought
I've seen the interviews with leads on the first game. They actually pitched multiplayer and coop for the first game and it was greenlit.
They couldn't implement it due to time restraints.
There's no reason they would shoot down a sequel for now having more elements that they already were happy with putting in originally. It was also meant to be separate from the single player experience.
Sony, for whatever reason, shot it down. They even then came back about a Resistance reboot, and they shot that down too.
That's when the leads left the company.
@knush
Well, this is on an article about a writer thinking there should be a sequel. I just pointed out that Sony already shelved the IP.
I played it day1 with NO glitches, just some performance issues twds the end, having said that my second playthrough about 6 months later with patches I had glitches galore lol.
Not sure why it happened that way ?
Another good one is happily cruising around on the bike one minute, only to accidentally drive into a hoard the next minute. That sudden feeling of, Oh ****!, and then frantically looking for an obstacle free escape route!
It's a great game. It got buried because most gamers aren't into the biker culture. This was a big mistake, if the characters were not bikers and it didn't release with so many technical issues it would have been 10s across the board.
I was concerned about whether I would like the characters but not because they were bikers per se, but simply because they seemed like arseholes and not very likeable in the run up to release.
However, I bought it day one and within 3 hours, I was completely absorbed by Deacon and Boozeman's story. The game remains one of my favourite open world games.
I wasn't really disagreeing with you mate, just giving my own perspective. I would probably say that their biker identity did feed into why I had preconceptions about the characters ahead of release, its just that I felt the characters didn't seem particularly likeable in the trailers and pre release gameplay etc. which also coloured my perspective to some degree.
Anyway, as I said, I think the game was criminally underrated. For what ever reason, the media were all out to tear the game down, even months before release but thankfully, gamers ignored them in their millions and bought the game anyway.
Deacon himself is something of a loner (presumably before shit went down too) and he's clueless about how to deal with people, even Boozer, who is his closest buddy.
Look how he reacts with Lisa.
Pretty much the only person he can be himself with is Schizzo, and that's probably because he hates him, and handles that emotion with general anger and disdain.
He's a pretty interesting character to be honest. Way more to him than a lot of people give credit. He's not just a gruff, white male.
Yes!!!! It does I do not trade in my gems I have I love the games I have sonic frontiers immortal fenyx rising and Lego Star Wars like skywalker saga are now all also my top favs in gaming plus days gone captured the dark/serious vibe so right I love roaming around looting etc
This game is hard for me to rate. The first time I played, I got bored. Quickly. After a couple of months I played it again and had a blast. Then 1 day I played sth else and...never went back to DG. Don't know why. Didn't get bored, just have no desire to play it.
Eh, it wasn't the trash pile the first 10 or so hours would have you believe, but after getting the plat I'd say it still doesn't quite hit the mark PlayStation fans have grown accustomed to. Solid 7-8 game by the end, but a woeful 5-6 in the early going.
yeah
even though it was m favorite game that year, the first few hours were pretty boring
Even if I love it, I Can easily see why people gave up pretty fast
I bought it day 1 and never got a chance to play it until a year or so after release. I loved it. The feeling I got when the herds were after me and such. When I would jump hills with the bike I felt it in my stomach. I really enjoyed it. I heard Sony shot down a part 2 but i also heard it was pitched as an online type. Please please don't ruin this single player game. It would.
Anyway I really liked it and would buy a part 2. I think they did a good job.
I bought the game & still to this day I have not finished it with only 5 hours in. It's not at all a bad game from the little time I put into it but I just can't come around to continue playing because of other games I choose to play. When my backlog of 2022 games starts dwindling down I'm going to boot up Days Gone again & play it to the end.
I think my main issue with the game was I felt lost trying to navigate the mini map a lot of the time outside of that it was highly polished and a excellent game

I personally would prefer to see a new Syphon Filter, but I could be the only one that remembers this stealth game.

Not according to Sony ..
