Current Events > Days gone is amazing

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why the heavy mixed reviews?

I've been playing over the weekend, and it's p sweet. Lots of story, cool survival elements, really good map. Gameplay reminds me of a mix between tomb raider and the last of us, but placed in sandbox style world.

The weather effects are killer, and it's cool how they actually affect enemy perception. I like the random events, some of which caught me by surprise. The migrating hordes are cool. Its crazy just driving my bike and seeing a rolling mass of freaks off in the distance.

Lots of upgrading via gear purchases and level ups. Tons of optional stuff to do.

I'm really not seeing how it could get even an average review.

Do you play a lot of open world games? Cause if you're already burnt out on them, you basically feel like you already played this game before even starting it. It isn't the best at anything

I do. Have liked them since Spider-Man 2, then San Andreas really raised the open world bar. There are a few that make me meh, like the just cause series. Just couldn't hook me. Wasn't a fan of sunset overdrive, either. Of course fallout and elder scrolls always hook me, but those are a diff breed of open world games.

Days gone hooked me from the onset. It just feels really well put together. The map is just so good, and not super repetitive like the spider man games (even though I do still love me some spider man)

I see. I could see myself getting into it on the right day but my experience with it was underwhelming. Felt like I was playing it just cause I had borrowed it and not really cause I picked it over other stuff. I definitely don't count those Bethesda games in the same category either. But you named a lot of really old games which makes me think you don't play as many open world games as Id qualify as a lot. I meant like 5-10 a year.

I'm lucky if I get to set and play 5-10 games (of any type) in one year, period lol.

Most recent sandbox of this type I played before this one was probably the arkham series, marvels Spider-Man, ghost recon wild lands and breath of the wild. I guess the division if you count that.

Not a big assassins creed fan. I mean, they are good games, I'm just usually playing something else when one drops.

Edit: oh, gta online and read dead 2 online

People already got their zombie fix with Resident Evil 2 Remake. That and people thought one post apocalyptic zombie game exclusive to Playstation (The Last of Us) was already enough.
