It's not about cash being tight.. $60 ain't cheap to be disappointed and I don't like to gamble is all.Alright, that's still doable unless you go all digital. Cons and pros I guess. I'm just surprised, people talking like they're investing in their next car or something. If cash is tight and you're not sure about the game (or any game for that matter) I guess the obvious choice is to keep your money.
Just keep your money. No open world of this caliber runs at more than 30fps. Also, it's a 50 to 100 hours long single player game, if you prefer online games, just stick to online games. -_-It's not about cash being tight.. $60 ain't cheap to be disappointed and I don't like to gamble is all.
It got a 5/10 by a site that usually is spot on -
No multiplayer and it's needed imo for this type of game -
30fps -
A solid no thx from me but id be open to try a demo and maybe take a chance at -$20.
I like all types of games :)Just keep your money. No open world of this caliber runs at more than 30fps. Also, it's a 50 to 100 hours long single player game, if you prefer online games, just stick to online games. -_-
Days Gone is ultimately a disappointing experience, that could have been much more. I didn't hate my time with it, and there's a lot of heart to the experience that I genuinely appreciated, but it falls into the same trappings of too many open world experiences. Instead of blazing their own trail, Bend Studio decided to play it safe and copy what has already been done in way too many titles. Very little sets it apart from the competition, and what's here is often just mediocre at best. After the main campaign has ended, there's a final mission that sets up a potential sequel, and my only hope is that in the interim, the developers branch out and try something new. Deacon and co are good enough characters that I'd be open to seeing them again, but only if the gameplay evolves into something better than what's currently there now.
So I just finished my review and it is up on our site.

I loved it, people keep complaining about how the Gameplay is safe, but I actually enjoyed it, and there is a lot of space between mission types. The story is also one of the most bleakest, depressing things I have experienced since Last of Us.
I ran into the same molotov situation you did, had to come back when I had inventory or could craft more.
And "Boozer's storyline at one point feels a bit chopped up"
that's one way to put it!
Days Gone does not doing anything we haven't seen before, but it does have its own unique style. Exploring the beautiful world where Deacons story and the side missions are a great combination: this game is very enticing.
A game doesn't need to be perfect to be enjoyable, but it does need to have substance and Days Gone has this in handfuls. Days Gone is a game that deserves a player's patience and perseverance as only then will you get to experience the game as it is intended. The story opens up and becomes more in-depth the longer you play and leads to you uncovering more important information.

Fantastic review as usual, might give the game another try later this year
Rather than focus on what it does well, Days Gone does everything. Too much of the 60-hour ride is spent on walking your bike to find fuel or going on head-scratchingly unnecessary missions. There's a good game in there, but to get it you also have to wade through too many poorly explained characters, too much sombre and self-serious storytelling, and too much gormless open world stuffing.
Although Days Gone is suffering from tons of technical issues and, of course, unbelievably weak AI, it still manages to make up for them by offering solid, diverse gameplay, wonderful atmosphere and world design, and great music and sound design. Let's just hope that Sony gives Bend Studio another chance.
just read the comments, yikes.I read the whole review. The author chose to run and gun through the game without engaging with other gameplay systems, and then blamed the game for it. Also, in the comments there were some not so great things said about Era, by the author even. Swell.
Yeah, I tried that and it didn't work. One because crafting items and ammo isn't always going to be around. And I haven't upgraded my bike enough yet.I read the whole review.

It gets better imo, yes. However, "fun" can be pretty subjective.Does the game ever become fun? Oh man I wanted to give it a chance but 2 hours in and I'm already sick of it dragging on.....

First 5 or maybe even 10 hours are rough. Then it becomes fun.Does the game ever become fun? Oh man I wanted to give it a chance but 2 hours in and I'm already sick of it dragging on.....
Keep playing, i was about to drop the game after the first couple of hours cause i wasnt feeling it and it didnt click. Kept playing and it ended being my GOTY so far and a 9 in my book. Everything in the game improves over time, even animations of characters (some characters in the early camps look like their faces are numb lol)Does the game ever become fun? Oh man I wanted to give it a chance but 2 hours in and I'm already sick of it dragging on.....
i played for ten hours hoping it would improve and then i dropped it, there are far better games to play in my backlog. I dont need to suffer 10+ hours to get to the good partsDoes the game ever become fun? Oh man I wanted to give it a chance but 2 hours in and I'm already sick of it dragging on.....

Sequel baby...always the sequelGot the platinum yesterday. Overall, not a bad game. The game could have used so many small QOL improvements though.
