Was it good?

>>712522620 (OP)
Yes, fun but not great.

>>712522660
>haha i had fun with it buuuuuut it wasn't objectively a perfect 10/10 masterpiece
Why do people do this?

>>712524321
Why are you like this

>>712524321
I played through this game and I'd agree. It's decently fun and I'd like a sequel but its not a 10/10. I'd give it somewhere around 7.5-8/10

>>712524321
are you incapable of nuance? do you only operate in binary?

>>712522620 (OP)
yeah it was a lot of fun but it took far too long to get to the big zombie swarms

>>712522620 (OP)
no it was shit

>>712522620 (OP)
it was recommended to me, i was thinking about picking it up.

can anyone tell me
-how much of this is survival/crafting slop?
-how much of it is senseless roaming in an open world?
-are there good characters you meet and care about?

>>712522620 (OP)
>Gays Done
6/10, has the same problems as other mid tier open world games. very repetitive side content and the bike feels like fucking garbage on purpose so you are encouraged to get the otherwise pointless upgrades.
It's not a bad game, but don't let culturewarrior faggot retards tell you it's the best game ever because muh white protag. if anything I'm pissed that the character is stuck in such a boring fucking game.

It's like a 6.5 or so. Not amazing, not bad, just roughly a bit better than average. The first third of the game is misleading while the second and third thirds you are an unstoppable god even on Survivor II.

>how much of this is survival/crafting slop?
Pretty much the entire inventory loop and bike maintenance can be summed up as crafting slop.

>how much of it is senseless roaming in an open world?
The entire game. That's the whole appeal. You ride around on a motorcycle and dodge zombies. If that doesn't sound interesting to you or gets you interested within the first hour, you won't like Days Gone.

>are there good characters you meet and care about?
Few and far between. Most of the cast is either completely forgettable or just straight-up unlikable. It's just another zombie story and search for your wife who's maybe not dead after all. I'm not a Sony dick rider or anything, but it's easily the weakest storyline out of all their big first party games.

The only reason this game has any fans is because of YouTube edits, big zombie swarms that make up like 1/10th of the whole experience, and "vibes" aka the same normies who pause to look at scenic spots in open world games and instantly think it's the greatest shit ever made and only play 2 hours a week.

It's the definitive "not bad, not good" game of all time and I'll never understand how it has such a strong fan base.

>>712525378
damn, what a shame, but thanks for confirming my gut feeling and for writing an informative post, I appreciate it

guess I'll play one of the good the walking dead games then, to satisfy my need for zombie games that dont rely on crafting slop and have interesting side characters (hopefully)

>>712522620 (OP)
Yeah. It is probably the best game Sony has ever made.

>>712525378
sounds perfect, just a normal game without politics or wokism or anything divisive. just a good ol' game which is what it set out to be (ending was a let down tho let's be real). i'd prefer all games were like this rather than having franchises and ideas destroyed because someone injected something that's NOT gameplay orientated

story was eh
gameplay got repetitive

but it felt really smooth to shoot in a large horde of zombos

Godlike because it will be not on Switch 2. Fuck tendies.

>>712522620 (OP)
Before you go over the mountain: yes.

Everything after: no.

>>712522620 (OP)
Eh. It's daytime television that's on but you don't really pay attention to. It serves it's purpose.

>>712526139
fucks sake... I conceed, wp

>>712524962
>gays gone
>protagonist is white and bang a woman
of all the things you could have called gay

The game was really bloated with all the trash collecting and crafting involved
I wish it was just the combat and riding your bike
Clearing out the horde of zombies during the main story was the highlight of the game for me but having to collect ingredients to recraft molotovs and explosives after it was dreadful

>>712526694
all of the set up makes the horde clearing feel more rewarding. don't enter game design

>>712526694
glad to see that pic related survived the zombie apocalypse and started a Christian military cult

>only 7 million
Total flop

>>712527751
>we live in a world where Sony says 7.32 million units sold is bad
damn, what was the budget? a gazillion? no wonder AAA is dying

>>712529576
The game made around 300m bucks in profit but that wasn't good enough for sony apparently

>>712522620 (OP)
It was good, but there was way too much focus on missions about killing humans. It's repetitive and stupid how the game has you killing entire camps of people over and over and over again. Why would he be massacring entire groups of random people? It doesn't make sense. What they should have done is made more zombie extermination missions and only a few combat missions.

>>712524864
There's no survival crafting, it's an open world shooter. There's a lot of roaming and exploring, mostly driving between different places. There's the standard open world completion stuff where you have to clear out FEMA camps of zombies and switch on radio towers. There are a few good characters and the game is generally quite well written, on a par with a mid level TV show.

For the price they're asking for it now it's OK, you'll probably get your money's worth

>>712526727
this

still a good game though. I liked deacon’s autistic ramblings

>>712524321
>games can ONLY be 0/10 or 10/10 there is literally nothing in between
Why do people do this?

>>712522620 (OP)
it was alright. I just got through finishing it and here's my "review" if you give a shit:
- human enemies are retard tier. I played this game on hard II, whatever that means, so maybe this has influenced my perception of the game, but I doubt it. stealth is difficult to consistently pull off because there are just so many enemies in any one place and they'll more often than not see you coming from miles away on your loud ass bike. I played with mouse and keyboard and was able to get consistent headshots, which the game sort of expects from you; it's probably more difficult with a gamepad. by the end, they ramp up the difficulty by giving everyone armor which is gay, and reminds me of the nu-tomb raider games
- zombies will fuck you up, and that's because they're aggressive and tend to attack in packs. you will not have enough ammo for most encounters, which I suppose is the point; they want you to keep moving, mind your corners, maintain distance, use the environment to kill enemies. that's fine for boss battles and hordes but in regular gameplay it means you'll just avoid zombies if you can help it.
- story is whatever. I personally thought it was ok, even though it's kinda cringe. by the end I actually gave a shit about the characters to some extent. it's like a mini-season of the walking dead or something, not spectacular but not bad.
- main missions are: go here, kill bandits, collect samples or a specific item, stealth your way through enemy territory and eavesdrop, etc. your typical AAA affair
- free roam revolves around clearing out NERO zones, bandit camps and zombie infestations aka ubisoft type busywork, but there are some other activities you can do, they're just underwhelming
- post game is going round the map and killing hordes + finding collectibles you missed
the animations and hit detection in this game are kinda shitty, you have a stamina bar and a janky dodge roll
all in all it's a 6/10 from me, not great but not totally horrible.

>>712526057
>without politics or wokeism
sorry but that's wrong. the game is woke, or at least has elements of that seeping through. I personally don't give a shit about that but it's there if you don't like it I guess. example: one of the camps you interact with is led by a race-mixing lesbian couple. there are more but they escape me at present, but I do know it's not as bad as TLOU, even though this game desperately wants to be just like TLOU.

>>712524321
Youtubers made a generation of gamers irreparably autistic. See your comments. /v/ literally cannot comprehend what you're annoyed at. Give it 5-10 years.

>>712530854
It isn't woke at, you false flagging leftist scumbag.

>lesbian
The single White lesbian in the game even starts craving Deacon's cock, because she is tired of being one. Days Gone is actually the last based game that Sony ever made.

>>712525048
heh

I stopped play 2 hours in, it's too generic and bland

>>712531056
it's woke and you're a retard, please kill yourself. no more (you)s after this. go away. also didn't read your dogshit opinion.

>>712522620 (OP)
bike feels amazinly responsive on the keyboard.
story is kinda sloppy and boring, but the main character feels relatable
shooting mechanic are boring, but horde fighting mechanics are fun.
7/10 games, would pirate again

>>712522620 (OP)
Yeah. 2 main problem
Story is shit, once you take your best friend to the camp it starts to go down hill fast.
Lack of enemy variety, granted this is more due to technical limitations. The game is unrioncaly the most fun when you no resources and have to be sneaky and set up traps. Once you've unlocked all the full auto rifles and can afford to max out your ammo everytime you go to camp, zombies don't provide much of a challenge and you start ignoring them.

>>712526139
That's an insane gay villain anon

This game was boring, shitty, and repetitive. In every aspect it feels like a worse version of MGS V except with zombies. The crafting system is stupid and does nothing except pad the gameplay time with meaningless numbers to grind for.

It was ok, not good enough to finish but fine enough to try.
The missions were boring, some where copied straight from assassins creed.
The bike mechanic was kinda neat but from what I recall it ended up being pretty shallow.
Action was good though.

>>712526057
Shiteaters like you are ruining the videogame industry. Go get a different hobby.

>>712522620 (OP)
Not good. Not terrible

can you lean forward and backwards on the motorcycle

>>712531056
I've also never seen falling snow in a game that looks better than this one. Love seeing the flakes spin and twirl with the wind currents
