Spoiler: More impressions from YouTuber

. pacing is way off
Story is interesting, just too much gaps in between
if you don't play this game often you'll forget what happened before the next cutscene happens"
"DS is basically 1hr of cool shyt
4hrs of delivering packages to npcs"

open world is more interesting than MGSV, but has the same drawbacks of open world -
"it's more interesting lol, mgs5 was so dead
hard to beat it"

"it's fun when you explore new land
but when the game asks you to drive back 5km just to deliver a package to a place you've been to before
you're like "fk off""

"all the safe houses look the exact same
they all have the exact same building you enter to connect
and all the resting places are 100% copy and paste the same in all of them"


"Minecraft has elements of hiding and taking shelter when it's dark
this has no day/night cycle which is a huge fail
but it has rain
when it rains you need to take shelter or it will damage your cargo"

"well i like exploring
and roleplaying, aka playing the game like i am really there"

"just know the start of the game is a bit of a chore at some times"

"it's not as good as RDR2 or God of War
but then again, it's a different game
it's focus is cooperation and exploration
if you are expecting third person stealth action MGS6
you're gonna want to refund"

Sounds like a Decent/average game but nothing ground breaking SO FAR. I'm.interested to see his thoughts when he gets further in the game/finishes.

I Feel This game is about to get really lukewarm Days Gone Scores and it won’t be a shock to literally anybody other than the people who have claimed this game as a masterpiece just because they're blindly sucking off Kojima.

And I’m a huge Kojima/MGS fan so I’m not on any hater shyt either, I’ll also gladly accept my L if I’m wrong (I hope I am)

Days Gone

oh wow completely forgot about that game...hopefully I can get it during the holidays for $15-20

Reason I brought it up is because it’s the last game I can remember where I had such similar mixed/conflicted feelings about the quality of the game, a story driven open world zombie game where you explore on your custom bike, traveling from outposts and taking on other human bandit camps...sounds fukking fire right? Well those were my thoughts until I saw that average ass gameplay, people said I was hating tho when I said it looked like it was about to get a whole lotta 6’s & 7’s

Exactly the same with this, couldn’t wait to play a brand new Kojima game with an intriguing story where you play as Norman Reedus...then Of course came the gameplay videos

Days Gone looked pretty garbage from the get go. This game doesn't have any issues with polish from what I've seen, it looks very polished. Let's not get carried away now(no pun intended) and start drawing comparisons to a game that looked like a bootleg zombie game to a game that just doesn't check the marks for a certain type of gamer allegedly from some early impressions. People are hinging off of 1~2 people's impressions. When God of War was coming out, there was an impression from someone who played the game and they tried to stunt and say the game is a 7/10 and we all know that was extreme bullshyt. Not saying it's going to be some GOTG but I'm not seeing it on the same level as Days fuking Gone now.

I’m not comparing Days Gone to Death Stranding in any way whatsoever other than just to say Days Gone was the last “anticipated” game I can remember where I was really on the fence when gameplay footage came out, im aware that one looks far more polished than the other that’s also made by someone far more reputable








Who the fukk is giving GOW 7/10 tho?

More from vestan(spoiler free gameplay impressions from a guy who is early in the game )

Spoiler

These are some spoiler-free impressions from the dude in the Reddit Discord, one of the two original leakers that posted screenshots and what not. Talking with him now, he's pretty early on btw (around Chapter 2-ish).

Things happen in Skyrim, BoTW, RDR2 and HZD during your travels. Not much here though. My general impressions: I like the story, visuals and music, basically the whole package outside of the gameplay. Is it an acquired taste? Maybe, but I don't think so. There's only so much walking before it gets old. Motorcycle is cool, I love it but the terrain is not friendly for it

Spoiler

. There are some good memorable missions early on, deliveries that show a connection between people. He liked it a lot. Gameplay might either be your cup of tea or something you hate entirely, depending on what exactly you were expecting with this game. He wasn't expecting much outside of hours of walking, he was right that it's pretty much what you do and thus it doesn't really appeal to him much. This guy is 12 hours in btw.

Spoiler

I asked the leaker in Discord what he thought of the gameplay and this is what he had to say:

It felt tedious. Sam hitches up on anlot of tony rocks so it braks the flow here and there, but its cool to ser up ladders and use ropes. Even more cool to see stuff left by people. The walking makes it tedious, timefall are essentially the stealth moments, a lot of the time ur screwed if ur driving cause the weather damages it.

Asked him how he'd rate the gameplay from a scale of 1-10 so hopefully he responds.

These impressions sound like the words of a person that’s waiting to see what everyone else says before giving an “opinion” so he isn’t going against the consensus and ended up sounding like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. There arent any definitive statements.

At this point, I’ll just play the game myself and see what’s what. I’m a Kojima fan, but my fanboy-ism is satire (which the Coli vets clearly understand and run with the joke). If this game is a flop I’ll call it out for what it is. Still excited, but the questionable info thrown around is a bit exhausting.

I think there's some good ole fashioned trolling and legitimate impressions being mixed in there somewhere but since the review embargo is still on nobody can really refute it. People just need to wait until Nov 1st. I think it'll get somewhere in the 80s . If it gets a 90+ then I'll be shocked and would concede that
