You're not going just straight through are you? The game is more fun when you just sit back and do some exploring.Damn this game is long.
Killing that one horde at Iron Butte Ranch took forever.

Days Gone | PS4 | Out Now
- Thread starter Grand Conde
- Start date
this right here is exactly what I always said this game would need, Dope ass concept but looks like it falls short in character/story. And by the looks of it that where it fell short in most reviewers eyes.
a game where you explore an open world full of Bandit Groups and infected on your customisable bike, scavenging supplies and upgrading weapons is dope, now if that had writing/acting like The Last Of Us or RDR2, Along with some smaller details like Being able to customise your clothes this would be an amazing game.

Is the main character as dull as everybody says iyo?The story was great IMO.
Setup for a great sequel as well.
I can only speak for me:
He's incredibly dull and mostly generic to start.
He's essentially a walking cliche as if they legit went down a checklist. About a little over halfway through, he begins to receive character development and becomes more than the bland " 'bad ass,' stoic, disgruntled dude bro." It redeems him a bit. He's more palpable during the final 40% than he is during the first 60%.

Started out kinda bland but he's got more layers as the story progresses. He's pretty funny in some spots too. If they couldn't do the stuff they do with modern facial animations it would hurt his character but he's getting the expressions off in the cut scenes.
Bro has obvious rage issues though and stays cussing everything out under his breath
The Devil's Advocate
Call me Dad
They were supposed to have options of what you say. They got rid of that feature and picked which audio to use themselves. That's why he sounds so generic and out of place
Picked this up real cheap since I’m in a pre RE3/FF7/Cyberpunk/TLOU2 drought, and...its pretty good 
I was always halfway on this because I always thought the gameplay looked unpolished and Nothing about the story or characters looked that interesting, and then the reviews didn’t help so I just didn’t bother playing, you can find posts of mine in this thread saying the same thing before it dropped, but yeah, I’m not massively far but it’s pretty fun (bare in mind after all of the updates I’m probably playing a more polished/rounded version than most of you did)
I look at this game the same way I look back at The Outer Worlds, Just good...nothing more or less than that, they both have shortcomings maybe due to studio size/budget, but they both lay the groundwork for potentially great sequels.

I’m mostly through this now
my criticisms are..
1. For the most part the graphics look nice, but it’s the smaller details that have issues like clipping, and the blood effects look weak ect.
2. The Main Story feels very Disjointed and drawn out at times, like when you get to Lost Lake in the middle of the game, for a while it felt like I just did a long string of mandatory side quests that were disguised as main quests that were pretty much just fetch quests or bounty hunter missions, because of this some story threads feel very dragged out
3. I get what they were going for with the playable flashbacks, but they were cringey for the most part, this is another reason parts feel overly long.
4. Enemy A.I. Could be better
If this Game had better more tight knit/focused writing with a bit more polish on the technical & graphical side of things it would be up there with the other ps exclusives imo, still good tho.
7.5/10

Here Comes A New Challenger
Days Gone 2 needs to set the tone and implement actual horror into the game, something akin to the darkness of RE2 Remake where it's shadowy and you have to urgently keep moving. I have high expectations for the sequel.

I feel like most of their problems can be fixed with a bigger budget. On top of the polish of the graphics you mentioned that might give them the freedom to make more diverse missions.
I don't know that the writing is ever going to get better and that's the main thing holding it back that a budget doesn't necessarily improve.
Iv always said, if you gave the entire blueprint of this game to Rockstar or Naughty Dog, you’d have a classic
Beat the main story after taking a break from this
Dont think imma finish off the remaining hordes.

Definition of underrated to me
I finally played through this over the last week or so. Possibly one of my favorite stories this gen, really surprised me. They nailed the world, mood and aesthetic. The gameplay is solid, maybe not the best shooting or driving but it works and it's a fun loop. The Horde behavior is crazy at times
The characters were also great. Deacon reacted very much like I would've in that scenario, I liked his arc and the others (Iron Mike, Rikki, Garrett, Skizzo, Kouri, Weaver etc) all really well done
Crazy how off the mark the reviews feel to me. I had one bug where I had to restart a quest, lost maybe 10 minutes... No biggie

Sarah's initial reaction pissed me off and almost ruined the game for me, but they expanded it and gave her character some depth and motive of her own which was dope. I liked Boozer, but he was kind of pointless even if the moments were funny at times
