Days Gone - The Review (2019)

5 жыл бұрынDays Gone is a far more deserving game than most of the games press is giving it credit for. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it's worth your time and money if you are looking for gripping narrative experiences.

The game is also much more than just hacking and slashing but I can also see why some people dislike the combat.

Kartik Punna Very. I can’t say much about Anthem, but I own 76 and can confirm Days Gone runs much better. Given, that’s to an extent when the textures look like they’re on a PS1 and you need to restart the game. Then it’s good as new for a few more hours of playing. (I dumped 6-10 hour sessions playing until the end.) There was a pivotal cutscene in Lost Lake where my audio became way out of sync and the textures were absolute garbage, but honestly I knew I should have restated prior to that mission.

I actually liked the gunplay mechanics in this game. You only have a limited amount of ammo, your aiming ability is realistic given the gun you have, enemies realistically move around to avoid getting hit, etc. You have to think about where to position yourself, what enemies to target, when to use your focus, etc. So it's basically a thinking man's game, even when you are in a gun battle.

The AI has been the biggest letdown. Freakers are dumb, as expected, but so are humans. The bear boss fight was particularly bad. The bear in my game didn't even want to fight and kept walking away. I reloaded the game three times and the AI was still spotty. When I compare that to the experience I had fighting the Legendary Grizzly in RDR2, it doesn't even compare.

Gotta disagree with thoughts on the bike and combat. 1. The realistic physics make you have to think about you drive your bike and how you attempt short cuts. 2. Fuel is exhausted fast when you’re “flooring” the gas the whole time. You gotta ride it like you would a real bike. Throttle when your going up hill, coast down hill, throttle on turns. It gets really fluid when you control it right 3. The lack of ammo had me get creative in battles. Shoot 1 or 2 people, move, melee, move, shoot, roll, shotgun, roll, etc. makes you have to think about where people are going and how you can line them up.

The physics for the bike can be a bit janky at time but overall I thought it was good and liked how fuel worked too, you have to think about how you drive until the last fuel tank upgrade at least. The ammo thing though isn't actually that bad if you ever low there is undoubtedly a cop car nearby to get some from, it does however suck that your ammo limit is quite low in the beginning understandable but still sucks lol.

You criticized the fuel efficiency of the bike, and while I kind of agree, it should be pointed out that you can upgrade the gas tank throughout the game, meaning it gets way more fuel efficient as you play. I don't think it was fair that you neglected to mention this. Sure, in the beginning its somewhat a pain in the arse, but mid game its far less an issue and late game its a non issue, as the gas tank is so big you can ride for long periods without needing gas. The same applies to the combat. Two of the most common complaints that I hear about the game is that the gas isn't enough and the combat is clunky. Its that way on purpose and becomes less an issue the further you play. As I mentioned, you can upgrade the gas tank to have more fuel efficiency, but likewise the guns & melee weapons are extremely weak initially and you have no skills. As you level up and gain skills you get access to more things that drastically improve the combat (both shooting & melee). And the guns are weak, but as you play you get access to better guns that can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. These are issues that its not fair to criticize because they are done that way on purpose. It was the intent to improve your characters abilities and the bike and the weapons, so that they become a non issue. When I first started playing I had the same issues (gas usage, clunky combat)...but as I got deeper I began to notice that ALL these issues got better as I got skills and upgraded the bike & weapons. By late game, they were much better than in the beginning. The game layers these things so that you get better as you progress. Also, the game was inconsistent in terms of frame-rate, but the game has since been patched to improve things quite a bit. The very same was true with the Witcher 3, which got patched and now runs way better. Of course this video came out before the patch that finally fixed much of the issues, but I wanted to say that it runs much better now (for anyone who sees this video now).
@gabrielcarrasco8414 3 жыл бұрын
Days Gone is meant to be a slightly more realistic zombie game. You'll run out of fuel if you hold down the throttle, but conserve it when you dont. Floor it going uphill, but let it go when going downhill. It does save gas in the game.
@Yomom12388 3 жыл бұрын
Just because something is intentional doesn’t mean it gets an automatic pass. If something is clunky and feels like crap, then it’s clunky and it feels like crap AND it was a bad design decision. There are tons of different ways a game can limit your characters effectiveness in combat that don’t feel bad to play. Games have been doing it for decades just fine. So if it was more immersive or something for the combat to initially, fine. Still doesn’t change the fact that it just kind of plain old sucks, purposeful or not.

I have a few complaints with this review: 1- By the end of the skill trees (you even praised how you feel character progress in your review) , shooting gets so much better and ammo is never a problem. Guns get more powerful too. 2- If you start the game today, you'll be on 1.07 which pretty much fixes 85% of the performance bugs, not relevant by the time your review came out. Framedrops are fixed by like 90% (I started playing on release date 1.04) 3- The motorcycle gets upgrades to the gas tank which substantially fixes the "low gas problem" in this review. (Im talking 10x the gas capacity of the initial state of the motorcycle) 4- Freakers are amazing, they're not zombies, think more like "I am Legend" infected, hate the sun, behave differently depending on time of day and weather. Also, you learn what happened to them through missions, lore and collectibles, how they're always changing, the virus even affects animals. 5- I found stealth not reliable at all on the second half of the game For me this is easily an 8.5 if you start playing today on the 1.07 patch. Cheers.

Like he was expecting the crosshair to bounce between heads like he was playing Osu. Currently watching TheRadBrad's playthrough, and I can say with all my heart that this game is not a 5/10. The lowest score I would give this is an 8/10, but that can jump up to a 9/10 once all the performance -stuff has been ironed out and once the horde mode arrives. Excited for the future of this game.

Truly an underrated game, having a blast with this open world just going at your own pace and exploring as it travels you asking it's dense areas. Plus it has motion aiming which is very crucial for controller based shooting. Especially important since you don't get much ammo so every shot does count for how little health you have

1:17 “both of them are open world games where the world feels rather static and unchanging despite your actions” No. When you play like an asshole in Rdr2 people will treat you like an asshole, when you do bad stuff people will remark on said bad stuff. The world constantly reacts to your actions. Go on a massive killing spree in some town? You’ll be hunted down by bounty hunters, decide to lend money to a family man building a house? Eventually the house will be built. Attack Braithwaite Manor, the manor will burn down and stay burnt down, blow up a bridge, the bridge will stay destroyed. Rob a bank, the bank will stay out of commission and people will remark on it. Attack a shop owner / clerk, he’ll show up with bandages the next time you visit. And I think he might even have an attitude towards you iirc. “ Clunky controls “ yes…

The feeling of being stranded on a bike when you are out of fuel was great. You suddenly realize how large the world is when you can't blast through it on a bike and it really makes you appreciate when you find fuel, fill up the tank and go on the road again.
@shurik121 3 жыл бұрын
Also, it's not very difficult to get fuel even in the beginning if you plan your ride. When you get even the first upgrade to the fuel tank, the problem mostly disappears because you can always refuel at camps and you almost always have enough to ride from one to another. Plan your rides is what I'm saying, especially in the beginning.

I'm the guy that gave it a 9.4 on Metacritic and I have to say that I don't regret it one bit. It's a game with heart, well thought and with great ideas. I didn't encounter as much technical issues as some people, (you included) and I actually had worst performance in RDR2. I really don't know why reviewers decided to hate the game, but for me it was one of the best experiences I've had in a while. Specially Hordes, which presented no performance issues on my part =S. For me it was a really well made game, a little rough around the edges, but not so much that that hindered the experience. Great review as always! =)

Playing it since christmas and loving it. It can´t get any better than a zombie open world game with motorbikes, driving makes a lot of fun and nothing beats the tension of fighting a horde, man this game comes really close to my dream of a TWD open world game. After season 2 i wished for it and years later it arrived in the form of days gone. After 60 hours i´m still amazed by it and eager to end the story so i can hunt the hordes. Btw it runs very smooth on ps5 at 4k@60 and the hdr implementation is excellent. Gorgeous looking Game!
