Yup, I feel the same way. The reason I'm getting it is because it is a Sony exclusive so I am guaranteed at least quality in some respects. On the other hand, I quite like the idea of having a bike that you upgrade and traverse the world. There is potential to do some great stuff with the atmosphere so execution wise it remains to be seen but, I have hope.
i think i'd be more interested if day's gone was non-AAA. open world action games with progression are just such a defined thing that it takes a real special pitch to make it stand out to me. and unfortunately for dg, "the thing you expect, but starring a biker, a bike, and FREAKERS" is not enough to rise above the crowd.
i'd want, like.. days gone x xcom or something. throw in some management, or social element, or permadeath--just anything to give it a new gameplay twist.

THAT'S what it reminds me of. God I loved that awful piece of shit.
I'm very much looking forward to Gears Tactics which should scratch that very specific itch
not really, ride to hell isn't open world I don't think.
I can't read Freakerz without mentally adding a Z. It's that Hypnospace Outlaw compulsion.
Let me guess. Each of these simple little videos probably has its own thread on gaming-side.
We're in a forum bubble where people are selectively reinforcing their own disinterest as indicative of wider opinion. It's why you get dudes coming into mobile game and Call of Duty threads going "they still make these?!".
Their Bionic Commando reboot game is super underrated. God what a wild game
Nah to be fair it's not going that far. It's just they based one of the ideas of the game (seemingly) around bikes being more agile for transport within a localized area.
Though I think they seemed keen on not gettign into the fucked up politics surrounding hardcore survivalists and preppers, so who knows where that goes.
I think for me, even if it's a Sony exclusive and those do tend to be good, I'm not really interested in another open world everything game and another post-apocalyptic zombie game. If it gets props for story, then I might consider picking it up, but that's a hard pass for me right now.
Speaking of open world games, I'm surprised I'm as excited for Rage 2 as I am. Literally thing it all has to do with the color-saturated world and general attitude.

You could probably use that term for most of the cast of Ride to Hell.
Days Gone looks like an expertly crafted game, and it'll surely due really well in terms of sales and reviews, but I have zero interest in it.
It's basically Ghost Recon Wildlands all over again for me. A ton of people are going to love this game but there's just nothing to hook me about it.

Remember the story about that Final Fantasy game where Square-Enix's Japan head office asked Grin to send them the game's source code by fax? Good times.
That continues to be one of the most what the fuck things in the world.
It's up there with Bethesda trying to cripple Human Head.
Days Gone will probably be a fun game but yeah, it's not GoW or Uncharted level. And that's fine?
Days Gone looks like a completely average, competently made open world game with some high production values. A solid 7/10. And for some reason that's engendering so much hate. People should look at Days Gone and think "Yeah that looks fine I guess" and instead people are really against it. Is it because it's been a big part of Sony's conferences for the past couple years? Are people just expecting more from Sony? It's odd how much attention it's getting for how inoffensive it looks
Look you can't expect me to know what ride to hell retribution actually is.
I feel like the Battle for the grid devs either got lucky or where capitalizing on the fact that power rangers fans are crazy people and they would have a chance to rescue the game from itself.
They set the bar high, it really is no fault of theirs.
"aggressively inoffensive" is a thing and it is certainly appearing to be that. homogenization of games sucks. I like a game with vision, even if it is abrasive. Kane and Lynch 2 was dope
Days Gone will soon join Detroit at the bottom of the Sony Exclusive barrel, where every recommendation comes with huge caveats.
I'm going to say days gone probably won't lazily co-opt black revolutionary culture and iconography so it'll be safely above Detroit.
Sometimes I redbox games I'm planning to buy so they'll be updated and ready to go when I actually feel like playing them. Wish you could opt in to installs and downloads w/o license so you can preload. But hey, bandwidth ain't free.
I can just imaging the poor programmer in Japan who received a PDF file by email from his boss telling him to OCR the source code lol
That's how I ended up buying a physical copy of AC Origins, rented from Redbox and knew it warranted a purchase.
Might just rent MK 11 and play the story mode and return it.
And I wish we got Spla2n instead of what we got.
But we don't live in a perfect world.
