Days Gone Review Thread (See Staff Post)
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Your bait in this thread is starting to go mouldy lmao
The Order was a totally different ball game. It was way too short and didn't havet enough gameplay segments for such a short game.
Days Gone is a nice game and got made by a small team, which was slowly becoming a AAA dev house. I say that's pretty good :)
Sucks for Sony Bend since it will impact sales and also consumer's, media's and Sony's confidence in the studio. Still looks fun to me. Many of my favorite games this gen are open world games with a non-stellar reviews and a bit of mediocre bloat like Sunset Overdrive, Gravity Rush 2 and Dead Rising 3. I even enjoyed Crackdown 3 and ReCore. Hope I will enjoy it and that it does well enough to keep Sony Bend alive.
Sounds like a standard Ubisoft-like open world game with zombies. With all the technial issues there is no reason to buy this now. Really disappointing to hear. Honestly i don't understand people who pays full price for a game they know will probably be fixed in a month or two.
It's a deep, deep sale for me. Deep enough that i wont regret not finishing the game.

that sucks. its baffling to me that they didn't start dev with making shooting feel great and a good gore system (a boring ragdoll ain't gonna cut it hon, when your competing against l4d, dying light, world war z, all with very satisying shooting). i mean take fun combat add co-op, other stuff like weak writing etc can be forgiven a bit.
tldr: sony take a page from nintendo or gameplay focused devs and whitebox some environments and start with compelling mechanics before anything else.

According to some people on Era, giving it any kind of DLC or update in the future makes it a GaaS title anyway.
Someone who played this game vs. someone who doesn't. Which one to trust?

There is always a risk of this backfiring. Feels like Sony put the cart before the horse here.
How does reviews of this compare with other zombie titles ? I read somewhere in this thread dying light got 7s and for me it was awesome
User Banned (3 Days): Personal attacks against other members and backseat modding
I agree, this happens quite often and i see no warning as well for those people.
Bit disappointing to see relatively low scores all around. I hope it doesn't affect the sales/ Bend too much.

Meh pretty much how I expected it to review. I have it in my Gamefly Q so if they mail it to me fine if not no big loss it seems...
are you really surprised people are calling a game getting 5s and 6s from a lot of major websites bad?
Well it always looked like a low to middle 70 game so it's not surprising (the hype the last few days kinda got to me though). Will probably drop to under 70 on Metacritic though. I would guess 3-4/10 from Edge.
Still looking forward to tomorrow, looks like a good time.

Again, not backfiring, it's just that they'll always market their games lol. I don't think Sony was necessarily delusional as to how good the game was, but it's still a game they're spending development money on, so they're going to market it. Just like how every bad movie still gets marketed the same as every good one
Its also pointless to say the game is going to easily be an 85+
Concern trolling? Or wanking a game which is probably a good year away at least and that we've only seen one demo of?

Mannn I'm not sure why you got pinned with a warning for bringing up something that many people have been clamoring in this thread to openly discuss and that's how to mitigate how much fluff is put out in the wild to overtly hype up certain threads and shun those that have valid criticisms and then wonder why Review Threads go to hell in a handbasket because a reckoning is being meted out.
7 should be a decent score but we all know video game reviews have been different for a while now
I am litterally quoting the reviewers that played it. Story forced to hell and meh gameplay, read them, instead of crying
rip

I thought the game looked great in previews and was certainly expecting a higher average score. I don't quite understand the "what did you expect" comments, I think the surprise is justified, at least to some extent.
Just got home to my game on the doorstep, printed and slapped a return sticker and sent it back already. After having watched 2 reviews and reading 3 (of varying scores) I've decided my time and money is better off spent on other games. I've still got DMCV to play...
The problem isn't the hype-mongers. The problem is when the hype-mongers dogpile anyone who dares have a contrary opinion. Love the game you never played all you want, but don't presume to tell someone else their opinion of a game they also never played is wrong simply because it isn't a glowing review.
Was semi excited to get the game, but considering that I didn't even finish RDR2, I think its better for me to wait until this game drops to below 30€.
A score in the 70s isn't bad, but it certainly points towards the game not having universal appeal and as someone who already struggles with most open world game, I think this is just not for me.

Their highest rated game in a decade is inFamous on PS3 and its 85. Their last major release on PS4 was an 80.
Bend's Uncharted was also an 80.
GoT will review like Horizon hopefully. Nothing about GoT screams generic like it did with Days Gone.
was never interested in the game but I hope Bend studio survives this and can bounce back. Hopefully Shuhei Yoshida doesn't do to Bend what he did to Evolution Studios.
This is another Far Cry for me. Which I love.
Again, swimming in 7s baby.
I'll grab it after AC Odyssey.
Pretty much my exact situation too. Might pick it up when it's on sale and has been patched.
I don't think we have to make it better than it is, they should hear our voices
