Days Gone Review Thread (See Staff Post)
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
All the Horizon had was its art design really. The bland writing and repetitive content that Days Gone is being criticised for was present in that game too. It's just we've seen this post-apocalyptic setting in a ton of other media already.
Well that was obvious.
If all you could offer was "We have a lot of zombies on screen!" then I don't expect you to deliver a groundbreaking game.
It looked average from the start but still a good score removed from the Sony average.

And MGB lol. A few of the prominent Xbox social media/YT guys moved over to Sony recently, and now this lol. Kind of interested to see what kind of videos they come out with.
Nah. HZD had arguably the best combat in any open world game. Unbelievably cool and interesting to fight robot machines, and a genuinely fascinating, deep and rich sci-fi narrative. It was an incredible game, and Aloy was a decent character.
I was just showing you why things were being said about him. If accusations are wrong then go at the people who made them.
Damn you know it's a spicy review thread when the first page was optimism and you come back a little over 2 hours later and the title has a "SEE STAFF POST"
Sony should've accepted that offer from world war z developers and let them create an online component for the game, it could've been the saving grace for this game
I am glad you are around. You have been nothing but positive and cool. It juxtaposes the myriad of posts who get satisfaction from others disappointment.
Sounds like the story is still good, so I look forward to playing this game in a few months for a cheaper price.
Honestly, after playing Sekiro I went and re-watched the Ghost trailer. Literally everything in that trailer minus the graphics are done better in Sekiro.

Resident Evil is the most iconic zombie piece of media ever though
And it is more about survival horror :P
Still you are right hehe
This thread is some pure gold. Seriously some of the comments here and the logic behind them is out of this world. :D
Anyway, watched EA's review and can not wait for my CE to arrive tomorrow. This weekend hordes will fall, bikes will broken and guns will be fired.

Folks were put off by it so I'm sure it was asked to be removed.
The last one has over 1.400 reviews on Metacritic. Gameplanet, over 1.300 reviews. They've been around for many years.
I was talking about those people until you quoted me and gave me that reason.
I think it will have more in common with Spider-Man than with Sekiro.
Thanks for taking the time to post this. Now I'm thinking I'll like the game
And a highly likeable protag, lovely combat system, nice lore, but hey, let's ignore all that.
Agreed! Naughty Dog, Guerilla, etc all started from where. It takes a few bumps in the road but it could lead to brilliance.
Name another game with a premise similar to Horizon Zero Dawn. The robot dinosaur + tribal human factions in the year 3000 is incredibly fresh and unique.
"Post-apocalyptic" doesn't tell you much about the game itself or even the setting, when that term can include Breath of the Wild, The Last of Us, Nier Automata, etc etc.
I'm sure it isn't, but my word that looks like a bad photoshop.
Disagreed completely. Only the 4th power was meh, the rest, especially neon was a blast.
People can do what they please here If I am hype for something I sure hell not going to hide it.
This is a gaming formal nothing is complicated about it
I don't play open-world action games myself, but can you think of one that didn't have bugs or inconsistent performance? Even the highest rated ones aren't free from some hiccups.
With the Unreal 4 engine and the scope of Days Gone, it's a ton of work, especially for Bend's team.
It's totally fine to prefer a much more polished linear experience. This isn't a game I'm hyped for, but technical issues aren't the factor that would dissuade me playing this.
That comes with the territory! And the bugs may not even be as bad you fear.

While most of y'all took it in good fun (as you should), a few called it immature and disrespectful, so I reverted it back to the original banner and put the alternate in a separate link.

Guess this forum isn't unique in that though, just thought it should be better here.
Yep that's why I do my own aggregate from reputable sites.
So what? No one's allowed to be excited about a game any more unless it ends up having good reviews?
I really like EZA's review by Jones. He thoughtfully explains the things he enjoys and dislikes, never crapping on the game too much or acting like it's a game without a lot of flaws. Some of these incredibly low scores with reviews just trashing the game I can't take seriously. Reviews are obviously opinions, and sure maybe people really don't like the game at all, but there's a reason I take EZA's opinion over so many others.
