Cheers, problem is i really enjoyed the climax of the third camp
when your taken and have no weapons was a highlight of the game for me, and then the quest for vengeance m just didn't like iron mikes continued responses to the situation and being exiled for trying to meet the wife
Platinum'd 👌
Deacon: "What the fuck?"
😦
I really enjoyed that section but it definitely gets better as you go on. Theres still a hefty chunk left, Id say 8 hours? Maybe less if you just burn through the store missions only.

I haven't tried all the weapons but the Chicago Chopper mows them down. I have a LMG for special and an UZI for sidearm. Get bullet penetration skill asap.
you're not alone, mate! it's all just so damn heavy-handed, & really feels spot-welded to what came before. still pushing my way through it myself :) ...
Wait a second.
Am I locked out of the two camps in the southern region now for rep? I was like 800 points away from maxing Wizard Island. Lmao. Now we're planning an assault on the compound. I feel like I should just reload the save.
I don't think I'm going to be welcome at either camp when we kill the asshole Colonel and the other guy left for Reno. Lmao.

Just finished the game.
It was an okay game. Super, super repetitive and it had a lot of clunky game design. It definitely deserves the 7s but I still had a good time. Hope Bend can make a sequel. They could do a lot, especially if they focus on hordes. Those were some of the best moments in the game.
Very gorgeous game, too. The dynamic weather when it just starts snowing was very impressive. I'd just stop and take in the snowfall.
I fought the horde at the Sawmill and it was dark/snowing. It was probably the highlight of the game graphically and gameplay wise. The snow coming down in the light looked incredible.
Not sure I'll be able to plat the game since I have so many more collectibles to hit the 75% mark.
Holy shit. What a terrible final mission. Just a wack a mole shooting gallery of heavily armored enemies. Skizzo was really tacked on. The Colonel was an equally as weak "final bad guy", too. A lot of the moments felt super unearned to me personally.
Can't say I didn't crack a smile when Boozer was still alive. I liked him a lot.

You'll be able to return to both after the last set of missions.
beat the game and platinumed it about a week back and finished all hordes and ambush camps
just free roaming around just now and found some things that were interesting
nero helicopter is still flying around
even though all hordes are gone off the map i found a small sized one in a cave the indicator didnt show up when fighting it will keep looking to see if more still spawn
after awhile i returned to a old ambush camp to find out it had guys patrolling again
thought this was neat and adds replayability for those that did everything 100 percent already

lol, yeah. You will listen to that dialogue again and again. I bet it was the one at the house.
Finished the game this weekend. I thought they could've trimmed a bit from the story to keep it tighter but overall I thought it was an excellent game. I was really impressed by some of the characters and acting.
Lol I had a snowstorm with thunder, while the sun was shining and a horde wad chasing me it was crazy
Man I hate when topics goes here it like they just die :(

I am sure it will be unlock at the start.
Anyone else think there was gonna be more to
? Also does this mean he just stole it after it was confiscated? Lol
It's funny how all these characters always giving deacon the sideeye like he be swooping in on their love interests. 😏

Rolled credits now I'm gonna find the secret ending. Here's my review:
The great/good:
Hordes - these are by far the best part of the game. They move and react intensely and usually require a bit of planning to take down. Strategizingand utilizing the tools at your disposal to take them down is extremely thrilling.
The bike - the bike is fun to ride, and it's fun to upgrade. Souping it up and loading it with saddle bags was very satisfying because it encouraged staying out in the world. I found myself driving places instead of fast travelling which speaks for itself.
The atmosphere - is breathtaking. I found myself stopping all of the time, looking around, taking everything in. The weather, day/night cycle and graphics are all wonderful.
The average:
Story - it's a fun story, but it drags a bit and can be "assembled" a bit funky in some spots. The constant loading screens during cut scenes were a bummer too. Enjoyable overall however. By the end, my fiancee and I were super eager to see how it ended.
The shooting - the shooting is stiff but serviceable. It makes for less thrilling encounters. Definitely super average, and I hope the sequel tightens this up a lot.
The world content - there's lots to do but it's not super thrilling. But that's how it goes with many open world games. You already know what I'm gonna say...more npc's in the world, more sidequests to discover and complete in the world, more characters in the world (not just at encampments) etc etc.
The bad:
The jank - I encountered a fair bit during my playthrough. Enemies not reacting to me, glitched out survivors, gun stopped firing during a horde once which was great lol.
The audio design - I'm mostly referencing the dialogue here. There was some serious wackiness with the audio when in the world. Survivors being barely audible, some lines were cranked up to 10 while others you couldn't hear. I had 2 minute long radio convos repeat for no apparent reason and no way to skip which was annoying. Other audio like world sounds or shooting were great. But the radio dialogue was all over the place.
Overall it's an [8.0]. It's a really good open world zombie game with a fun story to boot. I found myself immersed in the world and had a great time playing through. My points of focus for the sequel would be to improve the shooting and movement and further enrich the open world. Looking forward to that 1000 freaker horde on PS5.

I'm kind of hoping they emphasize the survival aspects for the final game a bit more. I think I only ever ran out of gas like 3 times in the 50 or so hours I've played. The fact that a single gascan always fills your bike to the top and they regenerate kind of negates this entire aspect of the game entirely. Not too mention I was rarely ever short on materials except for the very endgame when I was clearing out nests and taking out hordes. Feels a bit like they want to have their cake and eat it too in terms of the survival elements and making the game accessible and it doesn't really work out all that well in the end.
Not saying they should make a hardcore survival game for a sequel either but I'd like to see them fleshed out further and better implemented. Even things like making it so Deacon has to wear different clothing for the colder climates or frostbite sets in, that sort of stuff. I don't need to see him drinking water every 15 minutes or anything like that. Also things like making it so upgrades for your bike might have negative tradeoffs such as more armor making it heavier and more unwieldy to ride or a bigger engine means its louder. Could even do it so you have different styles of bikes like those tuned for speed or those made to carry a ton of supplies.

Grenades and the Chicago Chopper get my vote. Molotvs aren't bad but I seemed to have more luck with grenades.
I wish there was a way to chuck a grenade behind your back without turning around...always kind of awkward having to look at the ground or turn around
I generally don't have to worry much about that because I make sure to park my bike where I can make an easy getaway if need be. I start chucking a few grenades before the horde knows I'm there, start mowing some down with the machine gun, then run to the bike and go a few hundred feet down the road, and start mowing them down with the Chicago Chopper again.
Good tip, I've been doing it all on foot and it can be a really crazy and exhausting experience
Man the frame rate really is atrocious when you get to the 4th camp. How on earth did they think it was acceptable to ship it in this state? Real shame as it ruins the experience.
Going for a bigger circle was the key for me. Donuts really don't count even though there is one trophy guide video showing that it does. Also, half trigger on the acceleration and hitting circle once instead of holding it helped too. I did it with a maxed out bike, I know some people say to go back to older parts.
Yeah I got the trophy in the same way but it seemed arbitrarily given, the drift that made it pop up was no different from the dozens I'd been doing for 90 minutes beforehand.
Man this game is really bloated. On the 4th camp and getting tired of the constant go there collect that fetch quests. The frame rate being atrocious is not helping my desire to play either....
Give or take.
If you are focusing on just the story then I would say around 5 hours. Keep in mind that I am not finished yet but I know I am in the finale stretch.
Just got to the part where you
It felt so good!
Definitely enjoying this game now that I kind of understand the systems in place.
first drive out after Boozer gets blood poisoning. The drive and the background music!

Just beat the main story, really enjoyed that ending. The final fight encounter was really satisfying.
But it made me lol that in the ending scene that
I understand there are post game missions and I know there is some twist with that story but I may look it up. Want to get back to NNk2

Deacon finally talks at a normal volume when there are dozens of people making noise at a bonfire? Lol that's the one time he should have shouted

Platinumed it last night. I'd give this game a low 80. It's a very fun game and has a lot of enjoyable parts, but it is very rough around the edges and it does get a little samey. I'm excited for a sequel if it every comes
Same feelings. They could've trimmed some and had a tighter experience. A lot of impressive stuff though. I'd definitely rate it higher than the general review consensus.
Just finished the game.... wow, Definitely one of my favorite games for this generation, loved it a lot.
Loved the story and the characters, loved the gameplay and the exploration, loved the bike and the atmosphere and the music.
Also one of the best credit songs I've ever heard.
This game definitely good, and I cannot wait for the sequel.
I'm just so happy the game is getting the sales and the love it deserves... thank you Bend for giving me a memorable experience.
Totally in love with the universe of Days Gone.... some issues here and there but overall a very fun enjoyable game and Deacon is a really good protagonist.

So ummm... did I screw up on the lisa quest? I finished the game and am at 90% for her quest... I was looking up a guide, and apparently you're supposed to help her out at "that place"? After she freed me, I took off to escape. I didn't know you were supposed to find or help her out too... is that why it's at 90%? Am I screwed in completing it? I saw a scene on YT of her showing up in post game.
I helped her at that place, but nothing in the game is supposed to be missable. So just fast travel around and her quest should eventually popup.
Thanks! Maybe I did help her out. I'm looking at the video of that scene and it looks like it is required, so I dont see how I could have missed it.
So what the hell.

blocked off by story progression??
Because I'm not seeing a way in here.

You're about 2/3 through the game at that point. In terms of hours for critical path. 10-15 maybe? I was doing everything I could as I progressed so i'm not completely sure about that.
Yeah, it's story related.
Ah thank you! I wasted some time checking all the fences.
A bit lame, but oh well. Still really enjoying the hell out of this.
This is a really good game. Think it could do with being trimmed a bit but still really good.
I kind of get the repetitive complaints but I don't think it's any worse then other open world games.
Also I personally would just take out the fuel mechanic all together as it's just a pain in the ass.

Are Radio Free Oregon collectibles supposed to happen anytime we ride the bike? I'm still missing one (#18) and I've done everything available in the game. :-\
edit: oh for the #18 you have to be out of gas... gess it's time to finally empty this tank.
