What the...?
I know that bugs slip into shipping builds all of the time, but that seems like a really weird thing to give a pass on when pushing a game out the door.
Ah I see. Not sure why the video would call that line out then.
The fact that he's 'waited' 3 years to make these videos only further proves how desperately he needs people to like the game for some reason.
Also, a reviewer isn't making significantly more or less money for having a good or bad review. They make more for having a review than not having one. There's a big difference.
If the game bombs, then all dude's hard work on videos for achievement hunting goes out the window. If the game bombs it literally means nothing to a journalist.
I'm pretty sure I'm posting on an internet forum, not going out on twitter trying to start a crusade against reviewers.
The line being so trashy, the lack of context, and the serious tone in the delivery make it super funny to me.
Considering Greg gave both Fallout 76 & Anthem a pass, this is a hard condemnation in my book.
It will do fine sale-wise. And it's a 7/10 game so it will keep selling. 4 - 5 million is my guess.
A Turbo Teen reference is not what I would have expected in this thread, but damn.
Because i think that the reviewer doesn't even reach that point that is later on in the main quest :)
Nah, of course not. He's a master. Still, Days Gone is not pretending it's just a goofy time in zombie world—it's a game that WANTS to be taken seriously. If you open that door, I'm gonna walk through.
yet people will ignore this and continue to hate on the game
i thought the line was funny as fuck
My personal favorite part of this touching flashback was
when they interrupt it midway through to have you shoot five people in case you were bored and then they pick it right back up again.
How is that any different from any other review thread?
I'm not buying a game because 70's for a game outside my preferred genre is a risk.
I'll get it when it's on sale so if by chance it's not what I was hoping it to be it will not hurt my wallet or time as much if I were to buy it now.
Pack it up, too many 8/10s, the game's not reviewing bad enough lol.
Now I'm half hoping Days Gone gives Bionic Commando (2009) a run for its money.
Yeah just watched it and the EZ Allies reviews. Both good and highlight similar issues. I'm still getting the game but I hope they patch it up quickly.
or she's really really strong and they just like giving each other piggyback rides around the park while they make bike noises
I gotta say I'm glad I transferred my pre-order funds from this game to Phoenix Wright Trilogy. I'm still gonna check it out, for sure, but I have to say that the problems and the plot are really dampening any meager excitement I had for the game.
The GameStop girl was real disappointed in me, though. 😞

I'm confused, skimming through this thread it seems like people are losing it over the wedding line...whats so terrible about it? I get some people cant handle that type of interaction for whatever reason but I see no issue with two grown adults speaking to each other in that way (especially since they are getting married..). It's actually refreshing to hear personally, I know many people who are in love and speak to each other that way.
That scene is basically doomed to be another "Tidus Laugh" scene that comes up in ever cringe thread even though its completely fine/appropriate in context and (in this case) is justified with a scene/dialog later in the game.
This is news to me but fucking hilarious nonetheless. Greg whyyy lol.
lmao Greg Miller cannot be taken seriously for game reviews anymore.
I'd be disappointed if that line wasn't in the game (2:21 if timestamp doesn't work).
Oh, low 70s. I am a bit surprised of the mediocre reviews. I myself wasn't interested in the game at all personally, but I thought it would maybe still be reviewed around 80, I didn't expect it to be around 70, lower for individual reviews even. Just looked at the scores right now, didn't have time to read or watch any review, but I sure will do now.
Did Gregg play on standard PS4 ? Because Digital Foundry's analysis says it runs pretty well on the Pro for the most part, while the standard PS4 has more issues.
