Guess Days Gone is the "new The Order 1886"

I actually enjoyed The Order 1886 and hope they can make a sequel still.

That being said maybe Days Gone isn't as bad as some reviewers claim it to be.

Only seen a few reviews an not what I thought would happen. I assumed everyone would be on the sony love train and they would be lenient on this game. Seems to be the opposite. Not that im saying it dosent deserve the score, I have not played it to know that. But slight technical issues are whats bringing this game to not be in the 80's. Patchable im guessing.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

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?

Considering what is on the 50 Metacritic is garbage material I would disagree whole heartily.

Reading IGN review that they gave a 6.5 seems like a 8-8.5 game that they took out points.

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?

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

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

5 is mediocre. It's not my fault that reviewers have decided that for some reason 7 is the middle of 10.

We have to do comparisons using the context. In the context that average/mediocre games are on the 7, then this game being mediocre would deserve a 7.

But seems like it got a 3/10 will you say that is also deserved?

Looks to me like the game has a problem of genre confusion. Sony marketed it as an open world adventure game, but it's really an open world survival game. You have to ride your bike everywhere. You have to scavenge for gas. Fast traveling is limited. You have to constantly gather resources and craft everything. Only certain settlements in the game will let you craft certain things. So you'll have to physically ride your bike all the way back to those different settlements, or waste gas on fast traveling. 

That, and the game looks to be more buggy than a Bethesda title. 

I know certain people that would love this game though. The ultimate problem is that the survival genre (DayZ, Ark, Subnautica) is often filled with tedium just for the sake of survival. Subnautica was the only one of that genre that I liked so far.

I still went ahead and bought it. After I took out the usual troll reviewers that bomb even critically acclaimed games as well as the reviewers tied to sites that went with the generic male white guy outrage, it's closer to an 80. Still not fantastix but I amn't expecting fantastix, I'm expecting a good survival, open world game and that is what all the reviewers I trust are saying. Pity abiut the file size though, I'm getting sick of games having double what is stated on the store and it really makes a difference to me for preloading. Would have loved to put on a pot of coffee and do the midnight release ritual and I eok't get that now because there is 28 extra gig that needs downloading and a storm on the way. I might not even get the full game down by Sunday if the storm is particularly bad. I'd have preloaded this last night and gamled on the reviews if I had known.

Good on you. I miss being able to customize my trusted outlets on Opencritic. The game is probably more like a 75 or so, considering that Slant gave it a 1.5. Also, I wouldn't trust GameSpot or IGN for multiple reasons. I prefer reviews from Easy Allies, Destructoid, Attack of the Fanboy, and USGamer. Let us all know how you like it!

I fear this might kill Sony Bend, they invested over 5 years in this. A 72 on this day an age is almost a death sentence, no one buys, even tough 72 is decent.

I hope not, the only way a studio can get better is through practice and learning from their old mistakes, i hope Sony gives them another chance.



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.



Called it, I had an awful feeling about this game since when it was shown in 2016, besides you can't trust the developers of Bubsy 3D



Sounds fair.

Ouch. Metacritic and OpenCritic are both at 71 now. That has to be the lowest score for a PS4 exclusive in a long time.

Hidden Agenda is at 66% meta and released in 2017 didn’t Knack 2 also release that year?
