Days Gone has its exciting moments, but it fails to say anything interesting or meaningful about its story and characters.

Awwww maaaan 😔

Rimeskeem1821d ago

GameSpot is known to be unnecessarily harsh on scores. They always seem to be the outlier or at least one of them.

Yeah, u can't the trust the review that giving it a bad score, trust only 8 or above

SublimeStylee21821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

I'm bummed out about most of the reviews so far...was expecting more...I'll try it out to form my own opinion...thank God for sonys new refund policy.

FACTUAL evidence1821d ago

I’m liking how everyone is diplomatic about the low scoring. Crackdown got torched and taunted by consumers.

darthv721821d ago

I don't let review scores sway me in being interested in a game. if it looks appealing then I get it. Too many people fixate on a score that may/not jive with their own view. Just play the games, not the scores.

toddybad1821d ago

There's been nothing shown since the beginning to suggest a great story or reason for the game to exist tbh.

frostypants1821d ago

Lotta "outliers" for this game...

AngelicIceDiamond1821d ago

Aw but CD3 fits the negative narrative just fine, fair enough considering CD3 had many develpment troubles and even switched devs a few times. Days Gone had plenty of time and leeway from fans and publications. Either way I don' think you should take scores too personal. Or personal at all and just play it. CD fans did just that, playe it to judge for themselves. Instead of arm chair judging, in which you have done.

rainslacker1821d ago

They actually have a rating system which is defined, and 5 is what they consider average. It seems harsh in a world where 7 is now the new average among most of the media. Unfortunately though, the 7 being average has been around since print magazines were still going strong, and the internet wasn't even a thing outside academia. Not much has changed where the consumer tends to look less excitedly on games that go below the 7 mark.

DarXyde1821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

Gamespot is a harsh critic, but I think they do well enough in their justifications, honestly.

However, I am a bit torn on the idea that story should be a factor in reviewing games.

There are plenty of games that don't prioritize narrative at all, so are those games automatically disqualified from getting perfect scores... or can they get perfect scores while games with narrative focus are judged on that? I think it creates a dichotomy and complicates reviewing.

That all said, I can't say this surprises me. I don't think they're being unfair, but that's just me.

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger68d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218368d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia68d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Days Gone | Trailer [GOG]

Days Gone is now available DRM-free from GOG

shinoff2183176d ago

Such a fun ass game. I enjoyed it alot more then I thought I would.

ravens52176d ago

We need a part 2 doesn't even have to be Deacon. But I had no problems with him either, he was a dude on a mission.

Cacabunga176d ago

My second favorite PS4 game after RDR2 hands down

neutralgamer1992176d ago

I think with Jim Ryan gone we may get a sequel down the road. It has become a cult classic

andy85176d ago

This was so fun I love the hoards. People need to stick with it because the start is very slow

MrDead176d ago

Has a really good PC port too, I wasn't expecting much from this game but I had a blast. Wish it had a part 2 as the story was building well.

jznrpg176d ago

It does take some time to get some weapons ,skills and a few bike upgrades up to feel like you got a rhythm going but then it really starts to click and the game is a lot of fun

shinoff2183176d ago

I was sad when it ended. I wanted more. I'd have to look but I think that was one of the few games I platinumed to. I only got like 4. I don't go out of my way for trophies though

Abnor_Mal176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

@shinoff same I only have 4 plats and one is Days Gone, and I also don’t go out of my way for platinums.

Was a very fun game and wish there would be a sequel, maybe one day they will come back to it with a different pitch that Sony will approve.

They probably rejected it he sequel because it might not have been the direction they were going for with gaas games and the like.

jznrpg175d ago

@shinioff I had the same feeling when I got the platinum. I need more. Hopefully they make a sequel and leave multiplayer out of it unlike the last pitch for Days Gone2.

got_dam176d ago

The critical reception had Sony relegate Bend to a support studio. Thank God the fans spoke up and Sony reversed that decision.

jznrpg68d ago

They have been working on a game for some time now and have said so

Knightofelemia176d ago

One of my favorite Sony titles too bad there is no sequel.

4 PlayStation exclusives, rdr2 and gta 4 and 5. Not one xbox made game.

zachyBROosevelt285d ago

What Xbox game should be on there?

Flewid638285d ago

Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome. They're the only 2 Microsoft games I ever enjoyed, probably because they felt like PlayStation games.

MIDGETonSTILTS17285d ago

What Xbox games are missing?

What Xbox games would even be candidates? The OG Xbox version of Chaos Theory?

SullysCigar285d ago

None - I took that as his point. There aren't any xbox games that are contenders for this list.

Abnor_Mal285d ago

“Not one ‘Xbox made’ game.”

“Made”

Yet people are throwing out games made by third parties that are exclusive to Xbox, which isn’t what the question asked.

MIDGETonSTILTS17284d ago

A simulator that was built for PC first hardly counts….

MGS2’s ice cubes deserved a mention.

ClayRules2012285d ago

Seriously, they melt🤯 that game, ahead of its time.

andy85285d ago

Blew my mind back in 2001 in the bar area, each bottle smashing individuallly when you shot them too. Never seen that before

ClayRules2012285d ago

I’m so glad to see Days Gone get some recognition, because it absolutely is a BEAUTIFUL looking game, and in other times, downright incredible, with its snow forming on the ground over time and the storms coming in with the winds blowing the trees is a sight to behold! I remember at one point I was using photo mode and snapped this photo (I swear) using the filters and other effects the shot I captured looked so realistic, it was remarkable. It was of a leaf 🍁 (others were around it) by this train track and the area was wet from the rain. I captured many others, which turned out fantastic. I’m sure ya’ll captured some fantastic one’s yourselves. Oh, and the horde of freakers 500 coming at you is insane and a sight to see. Wish we could get a sequel, Days Gone deserves it!

Uncharted 4 - Man, that game still blows me away still to this day. ND really captured the adventures of Nate, Elena, Sully and Sam in a way that was not just so stunning to look at, but in a way that EVERY new location, be it in a new area of this specific city, town, jungle, mountain range etc all felt truly living, with life. One of my favorite locations was the old lady’s mansion, such a simple mission, yet so fun, intriguing, sad, and intense all at the same time. And the richness of detail packed into the objects in that mansion is superbly detailed. Anyone notice the couch pillow in Nate and Elena’s house actually mushes down when she rests her arm on it when she’s talking to Nate about him taking the job? ND delivered with best in class character models, yet again. Dirt in nails, I mean🤯 I remember capturing a photo of Nate hanging from a ledge in Madagascar and I snapped a pic, zoomed in, and dirt was in his finger nails, that’s just insane detail. Add on the chest hair blowing in the wind lol.

RDR2 - Masterpiece of a game! In visual details, how this game still looks better than games nowadays (and they don’t even have to be open world) is something else. Fantastic character models, hair/facial hair that grows in real-time, awesome cloud system, NPC characters in the world actually eat their food, cut up their 🥩 among other new details being discovered these almost 5 years later, it’s amazing. Horse testicles. Has me intrigued to see how GTA6 will deliver in comparison to dynamic events etc.

The Last of Us Part 2 - ND took PS4 to its limits with this game. The level of detail in these models is striking, again, best in class, along with the environments. Foliage is phenomenal and doesn’t look like that “cheap” looking video game grass. It’s such a step up in quality. The gore is a visual ummm, I don’t want to say delight, but showcase for depicting how unforgiving that world is. The level of pain, fear and loss on the faces of NPC’s when you take their life in this game as Ellie or Abbie, man I always felt bad about that. And the dogs too… until the dogs came at me, than all bets were off lol. But again, there’s many more details that players who’ve not played this game must see for themselves to appreciate. Motion matching technology to me tho has to be the most impressive thing above even the visuals. Although both compliment each other, playing the game with the tech and the way everything flows so fluidly and smoothly is like playing an E3 demo, each play through feels just that damn good.

Rimeskeem285d ago

Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone. The game was great, just maybe not the same quality as other PS exclusives. They are on the right track though, for their first new IP since 1999 I would say they should be given a chance to polish in a sequel. I can only imagine the madness of hoards they can make with the PS5. Maybe add a coop mode so that friends can be like a biker gang together and take out giant hordes with each other.

Just seems stupid to not give the IP another chance given it (supposedly) sold extremely well.

jznrpg285d ago

As long as it stays single player I hope they do make a sequel. I really enjoyed Days Gone and It would be a guaranteed purchase from me. I have the collectors unopened for the first game.

StormSnooper285d ago

I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Days Gone. It would have some intense hoard fights for sure! This is from a mainly single player gamer. I would want a single player Days Gone II, with a solid multiplayer mode.

Rimeskeem285d ago

I'm not saying to make it massively multiplayer or PVP, just would be nice to explore and kill hordes with a friend or 2.

1Victor285d ago

@Rimes:”Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone.”

Personally I would prefer a remastered Warhawk, Starhawk or better jet a new game in the series even if it’s a GAS 😢
