not entirely sure what you mean. but i'd say hit reactions and blood decals are inconsistent, most times tho you get good feedback and effects (especially with some of the later guns and gun skill upgrades) an other times nothing.
I had to tweak the volumes in the audio options.
Try: voices 10, sfx 7 and music 6.
Agreed but I feel like bad pacing is a byproduct of open world games in general. Horizon had this issue, AC games, The Witcher 3 (find Ciri ASAP. *spends 6 months doing everything but finding Ciri*) etc.
So I really thought this game would get worse as it went on, but seriously it's getting better and better. I think the atmosphere is one of the biggest selling points for this game and man am I loving playing this right now. After you upgrade some stuff in the ranged combat skills, it just improves the shooting exponentially and the game is unmatched as far as firefights at night, not in the gameplay department mind you, but the way it looks. The combination of the gunfire lighting objects up, the flashlights from the enemies, the rain effects, the trails of the bullets, it makes it so intense. It just looks so damn great. The story is also really interesting with some nice characters throughout.
Sure there's jank to be had in here, yeah some of the cutscenes are strange where it looks like content was obviously cut, but man I don't care right now, I'm feeling this game too much.

Interesting thing. This game does exactly what I was expecting in terms of visuals about Final Fantasy XV.
Remember old videos from Episode Duscae?(before the huge downgrade mess). Yeah, I think this game gets closer to that. Or even better since the old videos didn't had any anti aliasing solution.
The amount of grass is a remarkable achievement, shadows around everything with very diffuse and great filters, lighting in real time with great cloud and sky dynamics.
And what a nice thing to the see light at the peak of the mountains coming down and illuminating everything and creating shadows in real time even for the last tree that you can see in the distance. It's absolutely staggering.

How early did you all feel confident taking on hordes? I just got to the
part of Lost Lake and still don't feel right
Getting Boozer a cool arm
I was slaughtering a bunch of Freakers with an axe as they all surrounded me, and after the last one fell, out of nowhere my axe goes towards the camera and I start slaughtering a deer that snuck up on me.... I never laughed so much about something I felt so bad about at the same time LOL
It can't be overstated how amazing it looks when you have a firefight at night in the tunnels in this game. A visual orgasm.
i kept trying to lure a horde into an ambush camp and it seems only like 10 follows.
any tip on luring them?

So in the area South. Where camp 4 and 5 are I'm getting pretty bad framerates on my pro. Has been pretty solid up till this point but man it gets bad at times here super frustrating
The mixing truly is bad because I couldn't hear shit before doing that. -_-
So I wonder if there is a correlation between patch 1.0.6 crashes and those having issues prepatch versus not. I've played for hours and my only issue has been some framerate issues and pop in/draw in. Meanwhile my other buddy has been having issues left and right and got the patch and its crashing. Meanwhile it's been fine for me so far. Hmmmmmm
bring a few mollies a few nades or pipe bombs and a couple machine guns and just park your bike closeish to the horde (park it away from them so you can jump on and ride away if needed) quicksave and fuck around if you waste your nades or too much ammo just die and you'll respawn with all your gear, you'll learn how to kite and split them up a bit.
Cant wait to pick this up on the weekend. Been to busy to play anything but really looking forward to sinking some time into it this weekend.
I'm at the same part and have ran from every horde I've come across as well haha.
Still early in the game for me. Decided to do a bounty from Hot Springs. There's a laser-sighted sniper and everything. Whatever, kill pretty much everyone in the camp including my target. New group rolls in. Kill half of them too. Decide to grab the sniper to try and take everyone else out; only one round. Then one of them throws a pipe bomb at the sniper nest, I manage to get halfway out but I get killed by the bomb.
I have to do THE WHOLE FUCKING THING over again. I don't have the bounty item and the mission still shows on my map.
Beyond pissed right now.

i like how deacon being unhinged can actually act as a cover for technical issues. friggin' bend, always thinking :) ...
I still don't, really. It depends on the landscape. I've taken out like, two of them. But I usually just avoid if possible.
Major story spoilers. Click at your own risk.
I just reunited with Sarah and am both disappointed and underwhelmed. I'm of the mind that the game should have developed the Rippers and Carlos further instead of shoehorning their arc in and instead teased Sarah being alive to cap it off. Days Gone feels like it's running a bit long now and I don't dig the whole new militia plot, especially with Sarah being gun-ho about fighting this war with the Freakers. It's also annoying that I had to choose between being a completionist and continuing the story at my own pace as the Northern half of the map becomes locked off when you move south to follow the main narrative. That's a shame and now I feel a disconnect with my character. Yes, I saved beforehand, but I was expecting maybe a few more missions before the game ends and I could just go back to do bounties and such. It's too late to go back and retread the same ground. I'm going to step away from the game for a bit since it's left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth despite being generally good. I actually thought Days Gone kept getting better up until Skizzo, or whatever his name was, sells you out. Ah well.

Damn why did I think this would be about the gameplay or the world being ambitious, I should have known better lol. I didn't read past the first sentence but I'm still curious how it will play out.
I don't understand. I won't be patched to 1.06 if I haven't gotten it yet?
Amazon reviews are easily manipulated and pretty worthless. Use OpenCritic for a better overview.
Use the bike without the exhaust upgrade. They will all follow the noise it creates.
But they can actually showing reviews from people who actually bought the game. OpenCritic user review could be by anyone.
I'm been playing for several hours now, and I really like it. It really reminds me of third person Dying Light mixed with Far Cry/Horizon. I get this 'oh shit there's five Freakers coming at you plus more on the way your boned" feeling and I love it. You try and book it but they're on you fast. I also like that the map is fairly small (compared to other open worlds), plus the fact that icons don't crowd your minimap is nice.
I'm enjoying the story, it's keeping me engaged. I like the fact we're dropped into the world. and that not everything is explained.
Gameplay is better then what I thought, the melee and stealth is fun. I feel like, for me, the skills weren't needed. I forgot I even have skills half the time, and that I have to spend points. Crafting is interesting, has that Last of Us crafting inside the menu wheel thing/no pause when crafting which I personally enjoy. Makes the game get crazy, especially when I had seven wolves come at me, which ending up being a battle with juggling crafting/healing with attacking/dodging.
I also like the 'bike babysitter' aspect. I view it as the bike being kinda like a metal horse; I've also grown attached to it. I get nervous when I have to leave it for a while hah.
However, the loading times are terrible, and I find the cutscenes are... disjointed? All this fading to black stuff. I get it's because the cutscenes must be CGI, but I became so used to games where the cutscene melts seamlessly into gameplay. I'm also getting slowdown/stuttering, which I don't know if it's the game or my Pro. Hopefully it's the game.
I would give it an 8/10, but all these slowdowns/loading is starting to grate on me. I might drop it to a 7.5/10; I'll see if the technical issues can be improved, or if I can learn to ignore them.

Just took out my first mega horde using the RPD and Chicago Chopper. So thrilling. Glad I have the double ammo skill and reload while running
The world isn't small. The beginning map is very deceiving. Enjoy
On the first bounty for hot springs this happened to me. I cleaned the camp and left the the guys up on the tower, killed them (i was at the top too) a pack of wolves came to the top of the tower lol and then another group of guys came to the camp. I did manage to stay alive but my ammo was all gone.
Man, in the third area now, and I really can't describe just how *right* this game feels as someone who grew up in a rural area in Oregon.
Everything just looks and feels right, every bit of the foliage feels completely natural.
It's fun to just "take a knee" and look at the game.

Or you can reinstall the whole game and redownload the latest patch 1.05......
Yea I never had to worry about fuel in Mad Max. You got a ton of miles with a full tank and there were enough gas cans to go around. The biggest puzzle was having one stored in the back to you can fill a generator for the air balloons.
