the punch on that advanced sniper rifle is great.

The characters and the gameplay wouldn't be as they are if it weren't for the setting ND chose (zombie apocalypse). The clickers are easily the main reason why the characters and gameplay of TLOU worked so well. Also, the gameplay was nothing to write home about. The mechanics were not new, just vastly improved compared to other similar games on the market. It felt good to play and should be the only thing important. Same applies to Days Gone. If DG feels good to play, who cares if they are not bringing anything new gameplay-wise (beside the Hordes).
So did TLOU and Horizon Zero Dawn. These games seemed "bland" to a lot of people before they released.
Since when does a game need glowing previews to be great in the end? It received mixed reception in the first previews after its reveal, but they kept improving every year since.
Watching the Kotaku video and I'm about 10 minutes in.
The people playing it aren't reviewing it, however one of them does say "it's good" with regards to the game, obviously limited in what they can disclose per the NDA.
On the other hand, the performance is terrible.

I'm sure there will be plenty that prove me right and plenty that prove you right
Again, I think this will have a mixed bag reception. I never once said I think this game will be bad - I just don't think it'll be great.
Like I said, expect the Days Gone review around May 3rd. I say this because EDGE had their reviews available on Metacritic for Sony's major games (GOW, Spider-Man, Horizon,etc) about a week after their respective launch.
Any good video previews without too many story spoilers? Gameplay spoilers are fine. I've been on a blackout but I would love to watch a couple Days Gone video's right now.
No one said the game will be a 90+ on Metacritic, because that would be ludicrous to think so. Alhtough, I doubt this game's average Metascore will be under 75, if not 80.
Yeah, he said that he already finished the game.
- It had some progression bugs on Day 1 but the 1.3 Patch already fix those ones.
- It has some TLOU elements, but it's quite different. For him it's a mix of TLOU with the world of Horizon ZD.
- The game have some very OP enemies, but the equipment also evolves a lot.
- Gameplay is very good, and the bike requires learning.
- There are some traps that can completely break the bike and the player is forced to stay on foot.
- History evolves a lot with the course of the game, but it takes a while.
- You can lost your bike in the middle of a horde. (And you'll have to either eliminate the horde or pay for a rescue service to get it back)
(I am 10min in, will edit the post with more infos. later)
I think some people are parading it to be 85+ Metascore which to me = a great game
My gut feeling is this will end up around 77-78. Doesn't mean it's a bad game - I agree that it won't be under 75
But people told me Giantbomb are liars and the performance was totally solid.
I went ahead and preordered today. The motorcycle thing and then the snow....It just sold me.
7 years of development and two delays to ensure polish but it's still going to probably take a post-release patch to make the performance solid
Different situation here. The Order 1886 barely showed any new gameplay footage until about 2-3 weeks before its release where Sony held a behind-closed-doors event for journalists. The problems with The Order 1886 were coming back every time these journalists were able to try it out at conventions. The issues they picked on were never changed/modified or redesigned. It happened quite a bunch or times too. Most of the time we were hearing news about The Order 1886 was regarding the engine features and capabilities. That's it. The same thing happened with EA's Anthem. The devs focused on the technology running the game and not on what differs it from other looter shooters on the market.
Today, I can safely say that I am looking forward to Ready At Dawn's next console project and I really hope it is a spiritual sequel to The Order 1886.
It seems to be running well with their last update. Reviews will destroy it since the patch was not available when Sony sent the game to the media.

We got several 1 hour vids and impressions here to know the performance aint terrible at this point.
GiantBomb said God of War had performance problems too. So I wouldn't take their word on that. :/
Although, it is true that Days Gone's technical performance seem to not be as smooth as some would have expected or liked. What's weird is that Shirrako who tried it on a PS4 Pro had some framerate problems, but someone on reddit who tried it on a PS4 Slim barely had any. I am assuming there could be something wrong with how the performance is managed in the Pro, which makes me wonder if there is a performance mode and a resolution/graphics mode like God of War. :P
Would be a shame if that happens.
Review embargo is still a few days away and reviewers must consider that.
Who cares how well a game runs before the launch....
Maybe the review embargo ends so late because of update 1.3.
Pretty much. After watching alot of the footage today it looks solid enough and certainly not terrible.

You haven't played it and you've made up your mind. That kind of hype doesn't do the game any favours.
New hour long footage from several YouTube channels with solid performance but that seemingly doesn't count for some people in this thread.
Stop omitting stuff they've done just because it's convenient to your flimsy arguments. Seriously, nothing is more annoying when people try to prove a point and omit stuff that contradicts what they're saying just because. At least be honest about it, like come on. They've made a bunch of good games, you trying to remove things they created because it was on portable and not their IP does not help your argument, it just makes it look worse.
That looks really cool, hopefully they push forward even more marketing for this game
It was erratic on Pro performance mode because it was unlocked. I agree with Giantbomb.

Ok - they haven't released a game in 8 years and haven't released a console specific game since 2006/2007.
Is that still a flimsy argument?

I can only imagine how difficult that must have been.
I wish we could get a vid on development struggles and triumphs.
Whoever is reviewing the game already has a score and the thoughts on the game, at least the big publications.
I am bummed that this is coming out on the same day as Endgame. I'm going to be so busy I wont get much time to play it.
