Days Gone |OT| A Deacon of Hope

- Start date
Man, I don't want to leave the 3rd camp area ;(( I really like some of those characters, don't think it will be this "fun" in the next camp.
Also, the attention to detail is really crazy in the game and I love how you can zoom in on things with the Photo Mode (only click, if you are done with the 3rd camp area (Lost Lake) or finished the NERO stuff for that area):

So in Lost Lake I got to a point where Rikki shows me a huge horde in a barn area to the east. I've taken out a few hordes before that point by kiting them and throwing bombs so I figured I'd go an knock that one out. I go over there and holy hells is this horde on another level. I actually am almost convince these ones keep spawning, is this horde not do-able right now and instead a story one for later or something?
I would be fine with just falling down, but is blood splatter on every zombie something the PS4 can't pull off?
I would understand that with 400 enemies on screen, but it also happens when you fight small amounts of enemies.
If we'll ever get a sequel, I hope teleporting Freaker hordes are an intentional game mechanic, just imagine the terror, lol.
yea same here. i play on 8 or 9 and also the camera too. hate the slower panning motion
i love when the music turn errie and you dont see any warning on the minimap lol
survival difficulty cant come soon enough
lol
i think the same despawn at that location too. its the north west infestion zone in the 1st map right? i was following a horde and they suddenly disappear around there when i tried to lure to to a nearby camp.
some bloopers =P
i shoulda angle my bike facing straight to the open road :(
Just a quick word, it's only the opening week of the game, and the game's campaign is a long one. What you may think aren't spoilers, are still spoilers to some, particularly with story events and how things are revealed. I've been spoiled twice over the past page or so of posts. Try to mark your story spoilers for now until more people have a chance to make it through the game. Thank you.
Just finished the game. Not gonna spoil stuff but holy crap this game is bad. So many bugs. ps4 pro even crashed big time :/ Thought might be broken.
Yeah it means how many days are gone since the outbreak, basically.
I only play exclusives on my Pro, so its not my day to day console. All the games i've played so far were fine, i thought people complaining about the fan were exaggerating. Sometimes playing GoW or Spiderman the fan would get louder but nothing crazy.
Last night playing Days Gone I heard the jet engine fan levels everyone talks about for the first time, it got really loud and I put on my headphones. I had to check the PS4 to make sure nothing is blocking the back, but there was nothing blocking it. So yeah, get some good headphones
So I decided to take one more failed crack at this horde. As I'm chucking pipe bombs to wake them up I see red on the radar behind me. Turn around and there's a wolf running at me. Roll out of the way just in time for him to leap face first into the horde.
A for effort buddy

Serious question: isn't it mandatory for all special forces soldiers to have the ability to swim? Even policemen have to meet certain physical requirements....
Yeah, I'm playing Days Gone on my old PS4 Amateur now, as it was unbearable on the shitty Pro - especially in menus. Days Gone is a jet engine nightmare.
Spider-Man was fine for me during open world gameplay, but the lab interior made my Pro quite loud for some reason. Luckily you don't spend too much time at that location.
God of War was also fine most of the time, but visiting the forge would put the Pro into extreme overdrive.
Some games are fine on my Pro, some are unbearable to play. I'm glad I only use consoles for exclusives. Console gaming can be such a fucking pain with the lack of options in most games. There's no reason to not put a 1080p mode in Days Gone, forced cq/4k is just dumb, especially from first parties when the hardware is too shitty to handle the strain.
I get that, but does it mean anything else? Like, is there a threshold it also has something to do with? Do I miss something if I sleep 365 days in a row?
I have completely given up on this game the frame rate is so choppy on my launch ps4 it's unplayable.
i got the digital version since i was hoping the noise level will be lower due to no bluray spinning adding heat but this game still make my pro fan noisy.
last weekend, i decide to open my pro up and clean and apply new thermal paste as some ppl in the gaming section said itll help. well, it barely did much. probably lower like 1 or 2 decible (or whatever the unit is called) since its still audible and just a tad blit lower.
eitherway, noise wont deter my enjoyment of the game. im not a audiophile to worry much about it
Anyone have issues with the bike upgrades included in the digital deluxe edition triggering? I got the crossbow and paint options fine but the actual upgrades (like nitrous) aren't showing as available at the first camp. Are they just not free or am I doing something wrong?
i got the fuel tank and nitrous as preorder bonus. you redeemed the code?
if you did, the upgrades is basically defaulted on when you get the bike to use at the beginning
i didnt have to select anything.
First 5 hours ish in and think that it holds it weight in the stable of sony games. Its not last of us or god of war level but id say its as good as uncharted 1 as far as concept execution. Really digging how out there and rough deacon is his dialogue is crazy. Love the survival mechanics and how it feels realistic and grounded. Cant just mow down zombies and even 2 or 3 can be a challenge.
Getting new guns and figuring out ammo and starting to repair the bike is a great system. Melee combat and animations are satisfying and getting the last minute turn around on an enemy to barely make it out is cool.
I constantly feel like im scrambling to survive and even with how sporadic the aiming is it makes it feel like what would actually happen. As it progresses and deacon gets improved i can already see how its gonna evolve and change into a more adept combat and survival system
Great job Sony Bend!!

I finally beat my first horde yesterday, it was one of the cave ones and took me 4 tries, shit was exhilarating and so awesome to finally take down. I tried another one after and just kept getting fucked up lol.
Overall I am about 10-12 hours in I believe now and really enjoying the game, I can see how someone who has played tonnes of open world games might not be able to get into this game, but as the only open world games I've played this gen are Infamous SS, Horizon, Spider-Man, Rise of the Tomb Raider and BOTW, of which I didn't do any side quests in those games, this game has been a blast to play. I'd probably have it at an 8.0 - 8.5 right now, and if the story pays off/gets better as it progresses it may increase to a 9.0 for me.
A lot of this game actually reminds me of tomb raider if you gave Lara a bike and put zombies in the game, except Days Gone has worse gun play/controls, but better acting/dialogue and a more interesting world.

Wow, finding random survivors gives you a lot of camp points. Just discovered this.
Exploring is so rewarding. Just found a nice stash of weapons and loot at a dam, on top of the highest platform.

Just got the EU special edition, can't find the digital artbook and ost, the PS4 not being able to read CD is still crazy, gonna start playing red dead 2 and wait for Bend to patch the game a few more times before jumping in
I've had serious frame drops on my Pro. I'm in the later part of the game and it was chugging last night and I had the game freeze for several seconds at a time.
Also, I put a sound meter on my Pro while the menu was open and it hovered around 58-60 and spiked to 69 decibels.
In the area with the 4th and 5th camps on my PS4 pro I was having really bad framerate drops, After patch 1.07 I didn't notice any while playing all evening yesterday. I did notice when fast traveling or passing certain areas on the bike it would just freeze for 1-3 seconds then continue that hadn't happened before but I will gladly take that over the framrate issues
I had a lot of drops in that area last night and I have 1.07. I also had freezes. The FPS was pretty solid for me in the other map. I'm not sure what's going on.
The first camp doesnt have bike upgrades, only repair and refuel. The second camp will have those and you can select them
So weird, they have said they are working on optimizations so hopefully they resolve all these issues!
Man these large hordes are rather terrifying. I haven't built the courage to take them on just yet.
This happened to me, but in my case I wasn't trying to take on the horde and sneaking behind me was a grizzly bear. I got away just in time for the horde to devour the poor thing.

Are the question marks supposed to disappear? I see them on the min-map when I'm riding but pretty much as soon as I point in their direction they vanish!
They're for random events and encounters. They disappear but if you head to their direction, you'll find the encounter.
The true ending?
Is there different things you have to do to get the "true" ending?
Origins has three HUD presets and I don't like any of them. All of them either gave me to much information or too litt.e
It's probably why (I heard at least) Ubisoft upped the HUD options in Odyssey.
Cheers. Knew they were for random encounters but assumed they'd stay on the mini-map until you got there. I assume you just head in that direction and you'll stumble across something?
Yeah, you just head in that direction. Some of them are really minor like a freaker hiding in a car lol. They're not always meaningful encounters.
Just got done escaping from the militia and the framerate have been consistently bad not to mention having to restart the game several times because of memory issues textures, npc's (questgivers) and even part of the map refused to load.
It's been an absolute pain to play and frankly I have had enough.

I tried, but people insist on bringing untagged story events and the ending anyway. And to tell you the truth, I don't have sufficient power or authority to do anything about it. I'll have to stay out of the thread until I can finish the campaign.
