Days Gone Review Thread (See Staff Post)

Ouch. Well one bad game out of dozens isn't that big of a deal. It's not like its yet another 70s or lower disappointment.
For Bend's first non-PS1 or handheld game I'd say it's a pretty good go. Hopefully this will be an Assassin's Creed 1 to Assassin's Creed II situation.

It sounds like you're just making up excuses for why you didn't like Second Son as much as most people but to play along, why do you think those issues will still be present in GoT? Sucker Punch is a great studio who knows what they're doing and reviewers did criticise their game, they just didn't think those issues were that big of a deal.
Also please explain to me what are the parallels between GoT and Sekiro because other than Japan and swords, I don't see it.
And why are the Zombies relevant? Days Gone has more in common with many other games in terms of gameplay than it does with Dying Light. Are people really struggling with this statement?
lol is it their fault the game is average? i dont think so man. let them enjoy what they enjoy.
I guess it highlights how much credibility we give scores, it's almost as if a game that scores 60-70 can't be enjoyed the way some people talk.
I like how you jump to The Order (a game that's 4 years old) and not the slew of other recent exclusives that have had similar treatment recently, and have worse metacritic averages to boot.
Yeah, really annoying.
I rarely game nowadays, but I really want to play Days Gone. It appeals to me.
The same was true for Guerilla. As long as they hire good writers its pointless to concern troll about before the game comes out. Combat looks what you would expect. Again, i think your being disingenuous trying to link this game to GOT
I'm not shocked at these scores at all, every single last piece of media I've seen from this game from day one has been nothing but meh
Since there's major issues with the story/writing (no shit) it can't really be fixed in a patch.
This is lower than I expected but probably closd to how I felt during the marketing campaign.
I don't know if I'll get it right know, I may use that money to buy a PS Classic before it cease to exist.

I do think this is a real problem on forums, but thats what happens when games are exclusive; especially if its a first party studio.
The only reason Knack 2 ever got made was because it was (relatively) cheap and Mark Cerny, who has major clout at Sony, wanted it.
Gotta do what you can to keep the architect of the PS5 happy!
Yeah, I figure 40 hours might be on the high end of things and you can get to the hordes faster if you speed through the game.....
But what does it matter? I was thinking that it should be something like 5 hours before the hordes show up......maybe 10 on the upper end of things. Whether it's 30 hours or 40 hours, that's way too long to put things off for. If the game is as uninspired as people say, I can't really see myself getting past 20 hours.
Such a weird thing to say since Sucker Punch is a proven and reliable studio for Sony for three generations now.
GoT won't make nor break Sucker Punch.
I don't think it's really yours or anyone else's concern tbh. We're talking about a game where you kill zombies, not an investment portfolio. I'm sure you don't keep track or who is excited for what, so who really gives a shit if joe blow on resetera wants to make a days gone thread about the snow? I saw the thread with low interest for the game, showed my wife, we both thought it was cool and went about our business.
I guess I'm not really concerned about anyone's expectations and at some point, you're only generalizing anyhow. Maybe they're specifically excited for this particular game, who knows. If you thought it looked bad previously, then cool, but I don't think we need you or anyone else policing people's excitement for a game they like nor coming in solely to gloat as if they were personally invested into the situation.
Crossing my fingers that this is a dying light situation and I enjoy it a lot more than the reviewers.
5/10 from Gamespot is more meaningful than a 9.5 from gamejizm.com.
It's not his fault the game is average, nor is it mine, as one of the people excited to play it.
We do, however, have to be mature about this and eat our crow. We were prepared to tell everyone else to, so it's only fair.
It's gonna sell like hot cakes no matter what I assume so there's that.
The game being a checklist pastiche of better titles' ideas and endlessly long will probably be a positive for most players outside of the enthusiast bubble.

Eh alot of people dont agree with that alot found the story good.
I also think the delta between the highest rated ow games and the ones on the lower end has gotten way to big for me to give any two fucks about metacritic. I enjoy these thread even when taking the L though.
Botw had the same padding and collectible stuff most Ubi games get criticized for and the often praised sandbox is more fun in Just Cause4, but it's treated like second coming of Christ just because you have to put your markers manually on the map.

I watched it till Season 7. After that..... ugh. What happened?!
They didn't want to. They started growing to become an AAA studio. And they are one now. That's what they want to do. And that's good.
It just goes to show that Cosmic Ordering doesn't work, no matter how much you ask for the universe for something.
oh, i still remember you. So.. can i call the game generic and bland now since many reviews do seem to agree? :)
Such as? I mentioned the Order because we had a thread about it recently.
Not really. I don't care about the number, the criticism are pretty big. Narrative is meh and it plays like shit, but people somehow will find a way to make it an underrated game because they where so hyped about it. I don't like the world but fanboys comes to mind.
So the game is litteraly about as good as expected? Not bad but not particularly great either.
Most likely. There's a very specific level of average quality that's somehow extremely marketable and guaranteed mass-market success (ie: things like Ghost Recon Wildlands and the like)

Yeah that's fair enough argument to make, I remember buying Dying Light because it looked fantastic for the new consoles. Seems reviewed harsh though, Different times and all that. Now we have a ton of open world fetch quest types.
Do you like sprawling open world games?
Do you like Zombie games?
If so, then maybe you'll enjoy it.
Are you bored of open world games?
Do you find Zombie games uninspiring?
If yes then don't buy it.
