Was expected for me, Easy Allies played it two years ago? And already mentioned the game having alarming issues.

Yeah, saw the first reviews and impressions and cancelled my pre-order. Honestly, Didn't look all that engaging to me from the get-go but was eager because I got a 40% discount and I figured it'd be a worthy risk to my bank.

I never had any interest in it from the beginning, the reviews were mediocre (poor compared to gems like Horizon, Spider-Man, and God of War), and nothing makes it sound like a must-have. IT's Sony's Ubisoft game: Big, open, pretty, lots to do but nothing to keep you interested and marred with performance issues and glitches. I'll still get it some day....when I can pick it up on sale for 30-40 bucks.

But yeah, can't win em all, Sony. and that's okay.

So you preorder the game cuz you had a 40% discount, cancelled it, just to buy it again later when its discounted again?

You've never lived paycheque to paycheque before, have you? I'd rather have money now than later so I can treat myself when I go see Avengers.

I like how people are acting like no one thought it would be great. Sure the game got a lot of criticism initially but let's be real, just about every trailer released after the game was delayed was met with positive reception and some sort of "Wow this looks really underrated" or "Wow this looks great, it may not be as good as God of War but it still looks amazing". In the thread about Days Gone looking mediocre, it even sort of seemed like that was becoming a minority opinion that was made fun of a lot or disregarded.

Now people are like "can't win them all amirite".

70's is still not a bad score. It's an ok one and on my ranking scale even pretty good. I just think it's funny how quick attitudes changed.

Others, sure, and there had to be some 'sony's killing it so I bet this will be good' bias in there. I always thought it looked mediocre. The last few years has comprised of me going 'I hope I end up liking this because it still doesn't look great' every time a new trailer or gameplay demonstration came out. Felt the same way about Anthem and Destiny and Sea of Thieves and Crackdown and No Man's Sky, too.

Stop trying to damage control. Play the game before saying what score it deserves.

Not doing any damage control. Will you deny that 50 on metacritic is reserved to garbage level game?

A 50 metascore is reserved for bad games, but a 5/10 in a single review doesn't mean the game is bad, it depends on how each site gives its scores.

DonFerrari said:

I didn't complain on the reasons IGN took out the points. Have you read the review?

You can't say the score the reviewer gave is incompatible with what they wrote, because only the reviewer knows how much each criticism and bad aspect weights in on the enjoyment of the product.

DonFerrari said:

Or better yet have you played the game to give your opinion since that is what you are demanding?

No, I haven't. And that's why I never said what score I think it deserves. Have you even interpreted what I wrote or are you just saying "no u" because you have no arguments?



B O I

Man, these scores really run the gamut. I'm actually kinda glad it's not being received too well. I"d rather Bend find their stride with a new game than have to churn out sequels to this. Still can't see whey this was even greenlit when Sony already has TLOU...

for sure.

I think it is also worth pointing out that Bend is one of Sony's smaller teams and they havent had a console game release for close to 10 years.

That doesn't excuse the problems the game has, but they have achieved some good stuff. 

Yeah, to be honest, I don't really care so much about this specific game as I am Sony expanding their amount of big studios. This game was always the kind of title where I could tell it wasn't for me (because I don't really like generic open world titles), but I was sort of cautiously optimistic about it. I'm not sure I really care so much about Days Gone as I do Sony simply expanding their studio efforts, that's also why I'm excited for PixelOpus apart from Concrete Genie just looking very interesting. Having two new studios enter the dedicated console exclusive space is sort of exciting. 

Also, not going to lie, I'm more interested in what they're going to do now after this anyways, since presumably we might not get a Days Gone 2 (Days Gone sort of feels like their Killzone). That's probably a jump though as I suspect it will at least sell well.



Considering the gaming media made such a big fuzz because of having a "white male" protagonist in this game; I really cant trust the negative reviews; they are most likely PC/SJW reviews in disguise. For me IGN review definitely is, just nitpicking and over-exaggerating the game "flaws". The review is just so damn $tupid.



A shame. Sony has had a good streak of well received exclusives coming for the PS4 for a while now but no streak lasts forever. I'd still like to purchase this at some point though. I'm a big fan of third-person zombie games and I'm not into online multiplayer so this is pretty much made for me.



Lower than I expected. I'm surprised this game has technical issues considering its development time.



So I'm definitely skipping this one. It was in the "Maybe if it gets amazing reviews" category and considering the reviews it's gonna be a pass.



Signature goes here!
