Imo that's how I always saw it. A Walking Dead/Sons of Anarchy mix. I like it :PI always found this game to be uninspired...well that isnt completely true. It looks like they tried to take Daryl from The Walking Dead, and threw him into a world with zombies from World War Z, but instead of calling them walkers from The Walking Dead, they call them Freakers.
Anyways, it has a 7/10 right now which is decent, but there is a lot of reviews pointing at this game as being bad. I hope the game does ok though, as I do think Bend Studios has potential. I enjoyed Golden Abyss on the Vita.
Bend downplaying begins I see. I mean, it's ok not to like their games but to say they're not capable of a full console experience... what does that even mean?
This forum has an issue with hyping things up to an unreachable level. It happens with every exclusive game and it's doesn't do anyone any favours.I'm honestly surprised it was glowing. Other than the very first trailer I saw nothing of the game other than an hours playthrough on Gamespot yesterday, and here's what I saw within 40 minutes:
1. Stamina bar
2. Having to gas your bike
3. Durability in weapons
4. "Detective" mode
These are literally things people have been complaining about in games for a while and want removed, yet here we are with a game with all 4 thing in it. How is this a surprise?
Add in generic white guy and you basically have a "paint by numbers" style video game.
Damn. I was hoping there would be smaller hordes to get you used to the mechanic.Most of the reviews seem to say that you don't have the skills/upgrades to take on hordes until very deep into the game. That's not to say that there are no hordes at all in the early game, just that you will mostly be avoiding them or running from them.
Gamespot says the first horde-related mission is after 40 hours.
The fuck!! 40 hours??? That's ten hours after I'd prefer the game to have ended lol
And you chose Dying light because it's a zombie game?
Do we only judge RDR2 against other cowboy games?
I'm talking about the open world genre of which Days Gone is an example, and (when weighed against the competition) a poor one.
As a Sony fan I can't support this. I support quality not mediocrity.
Days Gone by a 60 - 110 team. Looks pretty good for that. And again, it'a a good game. Let's see what they can do while being a 110-130+ dev team since day 1 on the PS5 :)
This is not a " love it or hate it " game. It's a fillers-ridden mediocre open-world action game.
I think, as per every other review thread, some are hellbent on focusing on predominantly the most scathing reviews, ignoring the more positive ones. There are 41 positive reviews, 24 mixed, and 2 negative, hence the aggregate is as it is, and not as awful as some are making out.
It's just funny because this was one game where I got into some pretty genuine debates with folks who swore this was going to be a winner, and it got to the point where I kept doing double takes and thinking to myself "seriously now, are we looking at the same game? Am I taking crazy pills?".
I feel like anyone should have seen this coming from a mile away, at no point did the game ever exude that "something special" to put it ahead of the pack. I tried my best to give it the benefit of the doubt, because I don't actively want any game to fail, but I had no idea what the fans of this game were seeing that I wasn't.
That is fair if you like that. I personally havent cared about Walking Dead since probably season 3, and Im not a huge Zombie game fan either other than a select few, even when they were absurdly popular during the PS360 era. Its just one of those trends that have passed me by.Imo that's how I always saw it. A Walking Dead/Sons of Anarchy mix. I like it :P
Oh! Thats kinda of a relief.Most of the reviews seem to say that you don't have the skills/upgrades to take on hordes until very deep into the game. That's not to say that there are no hordes at all in the early game, just that you will mostly be avoiding them or running from them.
Gamespot says the first horde-related mission is after 40 hours.
hmmm! So you can find them.Most of the reviews seem to say that you don't have the skills/upgrades to take on hordes until very deep into the game. That's not to say that there are no hordes at all in the early game, just that you will mostly be avoiding them or running from them.

Right I am confused how this isnt a love or hate game?There are 34 80 and above reviews for the game, including from outlets like Videogamer, IGN Italy, IGN Spain, TheEscapist, LevelUP, GamePro, Gamer.nl, JeuxActu, Eurogamer Italy, 4Players.de and so on.
It's gonna sell pretty well, doubt we'll see a price drop soon.I guess the good thing is that it will probably be sold for 30€ or less pretty soon.
yup ,, no purchase from me either. u make quality games and i m there day one.mediocre games would get no support from me. I will buy DMC5 or RE2 or KH3 or AC:odessy .cant decide which one yet.As a Sony fan I can't support this. I support quality not mediocrity.
This is not a " love it or hate it " game. It's a fillers-ridden mediocre open-world action game.
Whoa, wasn't expecting this, was almost counting on a hit. Still looking forward to playing it though.
Read the reviews. Story is meh with forced resolutions and twists and the gameplay is mediocre at best. Who cares about the number when the game is really banal
I will never get why people think a 7 is a bad/mediocre game.
A 7 mean a good game, not great, but good.
You're talking about the studio heads that decided to greenlight Knack 2, right.
Depends on how well it sells most likely. We know pre-orders are strong, so probably in 6 months like GoW it'll get a price cut
We dont know a single thing about the story and the gameplay looks fine enough. I dont really get what your saying
I wish people stop doing this its annoying like people cant be excited for a game here.But all the loudninja threads...... Bundy's excitement.... where did all go so wrong..
