Its very possible he had framerate issues since their are so many variables.
Some even with a horde had none though.

It's possible I suppose. I don't think Giant Bomb encountered the horde which is part of the reason they were so down on it and I think having that many enemies on screen is the biggest contributor to frame rate dips. It doesn't really add up.
Either way, they still have 6 weeks to make sure the framerate is super stable. I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Nagito is doing it.
Trust me, the OT is in good hands. Look forward to it.
but i'm worried instead! constant stuttering or slowdowns during hectic gameplay is a complete tarnish to me. i'll stay on the fence untiil a proper DF analysis though; sadly a poor framerate is a no buy :(
DF analysis will be interesting but I am confident.
Maybe some smaller fps drops during the 500+ hordes.
Bend would make the hordes smaller if there were constant stuttering imo.
I see, I've given GB a fair chance but I just don't enjoy their content. That said, it's entirely possible that Dan ran into performance issues. It's a preview build after all.
Most reports are the game runs much better than older showings and the developers have talked about trying to hit a rock solid 30 fps. I think only a small minority of the latest previews mentioned performance issues and the GB one seems to be an extreme outlier.

This is one of the things the dves been talking about and someone acctually did it
https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03...orcycle-is-lifeline-in-survival-horror-world/
At 54:00 minutes in the KindaFunny Gamecast, Greg Miller talks about how he attracted a horde of Freakers to follow him in to an enemy camp to clear it out of humans. Can't wait to try that.

I find it weird that no one (wants to) see this. People really shouldn't be surprised if opinions end up more in line with Dan's.
I mean, I totally get Dan's perspective. If I were to sum up 3 shortfalls that's commonly cited in Days Gone, it is -
- the core gunplay of the game is mediocre at best. It's not best-in-class or a tightly crafted TPS gameplay like Gears of War or TLoU.
- the narrative, character and setting of Days Gone. While this has turned in its favour among many of the previews, the whole 'zombie-apocalypse-biker' thing that is really self-serious is not for everyone, and Dan made it clear even from the first time this game showed that it doesn't click with his taste.
- the by-the-numbers open world design. In that this game feels like AAA-itis of standard open world - main mission - side-quest - collectibles - crafting - etc.
Dan finds himself disliking Days Gone for its failure to stand out or be best/unique in the 3 areas above, and that's totally fair.
As long as this scratches my State of Decay itch, imma be happy. I know from past critique that Dans opinion doesn't really line up with mine but I can see this splitting people in the opposite way red dead did.

A plush toy looking like that would cause issues lol
Just to tell you it is really nothing like state of decay in its structure.

Who said no one wants to see this? I don't understand why his opinion should hold more weight than others. Is he someone special, that I don't know about? Fact is there's going to be positive, negative, and meh opinions about this game. It is what it is, that's how it goes for every game. If you think you'll fall more in line with how he feels about the game, that's cool, but if you don't, it doesn't mean your blind to the games issues.
It's not that no one wants to see it, it's that it isn't representative of the majority of the previews. He makes good points but not everyone will agree with him who has played it.
Should his opinion have more weight than all the other positive previews ?
Weird but I know you already from other DG threads....
No he is nothing special...
I heard Dan already said in the past that he is not a fan of Sony 1st party games.
I assume we ain't getting a custom controller with this release? Maybe saving it for Death Stranding or TLOU2...
Umm the Giantbeast crew said the game ran like shit during their 3 hours and they didn't see any remotely big hordes. It's not some forgone conclusion that this game runs smoothly.
We know already that GB don't like the game...
But what's with the other opinions from Eurogamer, Easy Allies, Kinda Funny etc ?
We have countless other opinions the opposite of his so why should we take his and not the other ones?
Erm he gave Uncharted 4 and God of War 5/5's and is a massive fan of TLOU. Obviously he likes Sony's games.
And they get things wrong all the time, i dont know why or how are this guys so praise.
They suck as reviwers, they are the last place i whould listen to a review.
GB said PSVR is unplayable because of the tracking.
But they were not capable to positionate the camera correctly...
Maybe his statement was before GoW and UC4 or what I heard was wrong.
He's a gameplay first kinda guy and narrative second. When he talked about Horizon and GoW he mostly talked about the gameplay and barely mentions the stories.
There's so many positive impressions from reviewers we know and trust. Lets let GB be GB. I mean, while we know their review score will be lower than average we've also read previews that will look to score the game higher than average.
And while GB may lower the overall meta Days Gone will still be a blast to play!

Only Dan has played it so far, so it's possible others over there will like it.
You're probably thinking of Jeff.
That was due to a defective unit. Their issues went away when they got a new one.
Someone here said it was Dan.
Jeff is that guy who sounds always so bored ?
Edit:
Yes he is...
Sooo much focus on a single preview jeese.
We have all these other media outlets to pool impressions and opinions from and talk about, which were positive... Instead let's get negative cause that's what matters clearly in this place to some.

Yeaa but even the colour is wrong lol. Feels like they found a box of random plushies and slapped a Days Gone sticker on it. Par for the course I guess, I don't like most of Playstations merch. They have so many cool characters and models, but if you want a decent figure they cost like $500.00.
To be fair now this one ain't exclusive to days gone lol. Ppl find the negative ones to fit their taste it usually takes over the thread. Every preview thread ever
