5 Years Later, IS DAYS GONE FINALLY FIXED?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- When Bend Studio's Days Gone launched for the PS4 in 2019, it was under the shadow of many great first-party titles. Though its combat, zombies/Freakers and overall graphical fidelity attracted praise, critics found the open world and story lacking. The iffy performance and technical issues also didn't help.
Despite positive sales out of the gate, Days Gone seemed like it would be confined to history as one of Sony's few underwhelming exclusives. Nevertheless, it garnered a strong cult following, culminating in its addition to PlayStation Plus, where it gained a new appreciation. Though a sequel looks unlikely (especially following reports of a rejected pitch), it's still considered one of the more underrated exclusives.
All these years later, how does Days Gone measure up? What did its numerous patches add over time, and is it worth playing? Find out more here.

It has been fixed for a long time but hey, if you need an excuse to talk about this game fair enough, thumbs up from me.
😅😅😅
Ha, yeah. I read that title and thought, "was there something broken?"
Damn
Yup. and it is better than any Horizon game. Specially on Survival mode.
Exactly my thoughts. It’s been running fine for a long time lol. They doubled down on fixing issues the day after it released.
Days gone is criminally underrated. One of the best gaming experienced in my life was fighting the hordes
yes and no. the horde we used for the napalm test run with kouri was interesting,. the two after that including the lumberyard run...was nutz. The Lumberyard run still gives me nightmares and I played thru the game several times
Why is it underated?
@@jeckek9936 because at launch it never got the traction other zombie apocalypse games did and it's a far better story. more interesting experience too
@@jeckek9936 The release was buggy therefore, it got a much lower rating than what it deserved.
Fighting the hordes of zombies while being chased is a level excitement in gaming I've experienced far and between.
I highly recommend the game, too bad Sony canceled the sequel.
@@dw7647 It takes over 20hrs to get to the good part.
It’s been fixed give us a sequel!
No one bought the first. Why would they make a second?
@@mtnman8783 it actually sound pretty decently no lot gangbusters there have been way less profitable games that have gotten sequels
This game is a hidden gem.
@@karlmarshall4482while that's true it really depends on how much is the cost to make it and how much is the profit. If it costs too much to make you are risking the studios to close or repurpose them to another project. Xbox hasn't been making any games to compete for that would make Sony throw more money.
@@shadowsnake3867 very true! And great point
It's one of the games that the vibe stays with you long after the game is done
Exactly
I remember I was literally living and dreaming about the game for those 2 months I was playing it and that feeling really lasted months after that. And I barely play any games, exactly because most games are just plastic crap.
Definitely true
One of the very few Open World games that actually did something interesting with the open world formula (having to plan your route so you don´t run out of fuel). Remember, it is because game journalists we will never get Days Gone 2.
after giving 6s and 7s now they're crying about a sequel.
Really sucks that they had to listen to those losers. Sony could’ve made more money then they know.
God damn this is so correct and real
same with Alien Isolation
It was a messy launch tho and Sony never really advertised this game as they should've.
It was suprising this game did as well as it did all things considered. Now we will never see the continuation.
Apparently it was meant to be like "I am legend"
I am a gamer for the last 28 years since PS1.I played so many games in my life. Days gone is one of the best games that I ever played.
Days Gone was underrated especially the open world with the dynamic events that would happen
I’m confused try playing it about 4 months ago got pretty far but I was underwhelmed with riding around and never seeing any zombies or enemies and when I did very few to put me in real danger. The dialogue was horrible that’s what made me quit
@@Tonyoung55 The game is a very slow burn.... everything starts off crap. Your guns, your bike, your stamina. Everything keeps running out....but you slowly improve all that.. and everything really picks up with the story half way. And then only close to the end do you get to really fight the hordes. Which is the most fun in the game.
@@wkadalie Yeah. The problem is that the game just kind of drags. It's very badly paced. I liked the general gameplay, but I couldn't finish the game. I just lost interest. I also wasn't overly impressed with the story or characters. Maybe part of the problem is how linear the game is.
I think the main dividing factor is the "bike vibe". It's neither car-driving nor horse-riding, which together cover the majority of people's interests (or vibes). It's quite unique, but also somewhat exclusive, less represented in video games. So people who get the vibe really love it and can't get the same thing elsewhere, but people who don't get the vibe, get really bored in this game.
@@wkadalie ok maybe I’ll go back because I’m like where the damage at
This game still averages around 3000 players on steam EVERYDAY and has been doing so for years now. The comeback of this game has been amazing and I knew it would get appreciated over time. Just like Control too.
I just quit playing Control last week. Garbage game.
@@KoolKeithProductions no sir, you have garbage taste, big difference.
Control flew a bit under the radar but it received critical acclaim and I believe it won many Game of the Year Awards, including IGN (or maybe it was Game Informer... Idr). Days Gone was needlessly attacked. I will admit the game started off slow. I think they should have cut the first two camps from the game. Copeland and Tucker. Once you get to the 3rd camp, the story and the gameplay really hits its stride.
@@Thomas-fb5tf I started off liking Control, but by the halfway point l hated it. Couldn't even finish it. Facing enemies that take away 70% of your life with 1 hit? No thx.
You must not have had the right build. My build would fill my health right up after each kill
I just finished Days Gone PS5 version, it's perfect. We need a sequel
It was fixed a week or two after launch but with that said I never really had any major issues
Totally agreed....the media just wanted to hate the game because the lead character was a white male...
I wouldnt say 2 weeks, I got the game 4 months after launch and still have some bugs, no hate on the game, I love this game its one of my favorites, right now the game its fixed ✌
@@samuelesquivel6202 I don't know...some people had bugs and others didn't. I only had one big bug. Otherwise the game played great on launch without the update.
@@samuelesquivel6202 Most games have a few bugs, Days Gone's bugs were exaggerated though because of it being a PlayStation console exclusive. I only had like 3 bugs in my 2 playthroughs at launch
@@samuelesquivel6202yeah I’d say it took at least a year to fully fix everything maybe a little less wasn’t terribly long like recent games though
Fantastic underrated gem
The hordes on Days Gone were SO much fun.
For me i didnt even bother with the hordes it scares me, but i did them after i finish the game
The 60fps (on ps5) made it feel like a legit upgrade. The open world was well done in the sense that you never really felt safe lol
I completely agree! I enjoyed it on PS4, but that shift to 60fps on PS5 makes it a must play!
I have this on my Steam Deck
It was an excellent game 2 years ago when I played it on PS5. I would give it 9.5 out of 10
I always liked this game, despite all the fuzz it has been through.
Days Gone is a masterpiece. I didn't realise and skipped it at launch but i replay it regularly.
It's because the media was against it from the start, because it wasn't progressive enough. I liked it more than TLOU2.
Why is it a masterpiece?
@@wkadalie No it's because the characters and writing were God awful, the game had PS1-era asset and texture pop-in, would often run at sub-30fps, and had countless other audio bugs and glitches galore plaguing it for months after release (I would just fall through the earth just walking around sometimes). The game was insanely fun though.
I don’t know why people are hammering this game I absolutely love it . I played it for 3 times on 💯.
Lack of story bro. 90% of the game is "Deek can you go here? Deek can you go there? Deek can you find him? Deek can you hunt them down?" It's just 1 big fetch quest until he finds out his wife is alive, and then it's all about finding her, but before that? Zero story.
@@KoolKeithProductions To me it seems like there's plenty of story. There's his friend Boozer and everything that happens with him including trying to help with his injury. There's the ongoing story about Lisa who was all alone with a lot of troubles where only Deek could help. There are the parts of the story about Iron Mike and his camp trying to work out how to coexist with the rippers, and the jerk Skizzo and missions connected to him. There are the other characters you meet at the camps and the things you do because of them or for them or sometimes with them. You of course have the ongoing story of hordes and how to deal with them, something that adds a lot of fun to this game. There is the ongoing story of Nero and its checkpoints and Deek's missions about them and the mysterious person who Deek hopes will help him find his wife. There are several kinds of things you do to help the different camp leaders and they all make sense given the person Deek is and what he can do, which aren't just "fetch quests" but different things like learning to hunt the wildlife, catching someone trying to get away on a motorcycle and having to disable and detain them and going with someone to try using napalm molitovs for the first time against a horde. I thought Deek was a very well fleshed out character and his story was full of details that made for a lot of fun and varied game play.
@@TB-wvvvw compare that to a game like Red Dead 2 which has similar stories that you find out in the world. Where you can help ppl, aquire new skills and weapons upgrades. All that is fine, but you know what else it has? An OVERARCHING story. From min 1 the story is about this gang and how they fell apart over time. You cannot tell me what the story of Days Gone is from min 1, cuz the only story was "survive". That's it. He thinks his wife is dead for half of it, then tried to find her for 40% of it, and then tried to free her once he's found her for 10% of it. Not exactly up to snuff when compared to other AAA games released for PS4 back then, so it got swallowed up
for the channel watches and clicks
@@KoolKeithProductions Is pretty weird, I played and completed this game yet I loaded up RDR and GTA for awhile then I lost interest still to this day haven't finish it. I try to start up RDR again but quickly lost interest not sure why. I know many people give those a very high praise and one of the reason I bought it but it doesn't hook me like Days Gone for some reason.
Fuck Sony for not letting them make Days Gone 2
blame moist critical and other tubers who krapped on the game early on. Really messed with sales , i love this game
this game did not sell well and thats the bottom line considering the cost these days. It’s all about money thats it
@@davysmith8569 same with Cyberpunk. All these youtubers and bloggers and influencers just need to spit out content as often as they can. So they jump on any hot topic and just parrot each other, being as low effort as possible, saying what others want them to hear.
It was the same with the hate on Cyberpunk when it released. They just abused click-baits without having a personal opinion.
Sadly, wide audience is very ignorant, and media/influencers are extremely toxic.
@@stanislavkimov2779 truth. It’s really difficult to get a top tier game out the gate with zero issues. Day 1 they killed it and never praised it when all issues were fixed. Cyber punk as you mentioned was another sad loss . Pretty good game now
@@stanislavkimov2779 Cyberpunk was fine on release for PC, I played it without much issues. Most the complain was with the console and people with potato pc, it ran like crap. I could understand people were piss not able to play but for PC with a decent rig no problem it ran fine on day 1. I know this game going to be crap on console before release seeing how intense the graphic were and there it happened.
For me a masterpiece,we need another story from this world😉Sony wake up!!!
I love this game beat it 5x also got my platinum trophy really underrated so many games that are buggy but ppl cried over this one now we will never get a 2nd game due to the cry babies
oh , I hit the devs up on a semi regular basis
This game has been fixed for a long time but please keep taking about it so that Sony will come to its senses and give this game a sequel
This game holds a special place in my heart.
This game was really good. A slow start. But when I finished it, I was impressed
A very light RDR with Zombies, great game!
Undead nightmare
@@Ronuk1996 I was going to say I'm pretty sure there is a Red Dead with zombies. I actually liken Days Gone to the Witcher on Wheels
I'm still playing this game, i just reset hordes after clearing all of it. It's fun and there are so many ways to kill them. I hope DG2 will happen in the future.
Is a fun sandbox if people complain about lack of story should go watch a movie, this is a game and it is meant to play not to watch.
At 1:35 he just proved how little (if at all) he "played" the game if at all... calling the "Freakers" undead
This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s honestly amazing! I wish they’d make a sequel!
It's one of the best games I've ever played.
To be honest I played the game about 50% on the regular ps4 and the rest on the ps5 and never I mean NEVER had any issues
Days gone is one of the best games EVER made, period.
Anyone who hates or hated on this game are casuals who shouldn’t play games at all.
One of my favorite games of all time. Played it when it came out on PS4 pro on an OLED TV and it was epic
This game is awesome. Platinumed it twice
I started on PS4 but rebought it on PC and loved the fuck out of it. Didn't have much issues. Minor glitches but very replayable.
This video is 5 years late but ok
Yea seriously lol 😆 🤣....
Just like the game.
Normally an xbox fanboy, so id never played days gone, but had heard it was mint, so i recently went and bought a ps4 and im hooked, its a masterpiece...The last of us next, bring it on
Anybody else here own the physical release that contains V1.11 on disc? Was very surprised when I picked my copy up a year later and found it was one of the rare Sony published non-GOTY releases that contained a patched release already on disc (the general jank at launch being why I waited for so many patches to drop).
I beat this game in 19. Didnt have any issues at all after that big update lol
I played the whole thing without the update day one....and it was fine. Only issue was frame dips on the bike.....and a bug where the cave I was meant to enter was closed....but a restart fixed that.
Played it the first time without update. Just few bugs and the game crashed at some points but I just didn't care because I was so hooked and loved the experience, everything just felt enjoyable.
@@josefelfinito6925 I just find it strange, how compared to an Assassin Creed game or a Bethesda game. The game was barely buggy at launch and they fixed it in no time. But those other games have gotten passes. But Days gone was crucified.
@@wkadalie Same here. Cyberpunk even did worse at launch, yet these clueless journalists gave it a high score, and they heavily criticized days gone for other reasons that doesn't make any sense. It's really strange. I hope sony have a rethink and stop being stupid.
@@josefelfinito6925 Games journalists are hacks....they're just failed youtubers at this point or political journalists.... they don't represent gamers. But these game companies listen to them.... though even they are starting to realize how little they matter. When you have games like Stellar blade that just gives gamers what they want....instead of pandering. Or trying to be political..... then you can make a lot more.
I recently just found out about this game and got it on PC and I'm hooked this game definitely deserves a sequel and I'm liking the story so far I think I'm about 75% done
I remember I bought this about a month after release and quit playing it waaay to early, I gave it a 2nd go around a couple years later and man I was mad at myself for quitting so early. One of my favorite games ever. Such an adrenaline dumb when you fight the hordes. Super underrated!
Heck, I loved this game when it first released. Played it non-stop until I finished the main storyline. And damn, was it a long game. Not like most of these titles coming out today that offer under 20 hours of gameplay. Days Gone is a f'n legendary title, IMO.
Between TLOUP1 and this game, I must say I enjoyed Days Gone more than TLOUP1. Both are great games, but I just like the gameplay and open world concept of DG. I never got to play the game on PlayStation as I've never owned one, so I've only played it on PC from GOG. It's still on my PC and I haven't uninstalled it as I love going back in from time to time doing hordes.
the community found out there was a significant part of the map that was cut content or a DLC that never got released.
Where in game or what?
@@jamesbarksdale6537 ruclips.net/video/CFTBGumW1Ao/видео.htmlsi=8j3MkCK1T9yAJbbd
Underrated game
Criminally underrated. Deserved a sequel
This game is a work of art I'm playing it right now for the forth time 🧟♂️ we desperately need a sequel
This game has been fixed for years. I played it like 6 months after release and had zero issues. Such a shame this game was kind of ignored too, it’s great
Nothing wrong with game, played it back to back to get platnium some years ago. Sad we aint getting part 2
I just recently got my ps5 a few months ago and days gone was always on my radar never did i get a chance to play on ps4 and being a Oregon native i am finally running through this game and its got me hooked as i must be about 40 hours in . ❤
🧡 I thoroughly enjoyed playing *Days Gone* !
It caught me off guard how this voice-over guy pronounced Oregon. Or maybe he was referring to a 1-hour-long DLC set in Mexico called "Hora Gone"?
He’s a twonk, that’s why.
Fixed?!? This game i 100% on STEAMDECK and now on new game plus so many emotions playing this game i think its better than the last of us and has great actors like debora from mad tv and so many more i dont see what all those sony guys were complaining about this is one of the best sony games ever made
Im about to beat horizon forbidden West on deck I now own all songs best games on my STEAMDECK and play god of war spiderman uncharted and all on the go too bad ps won't make a new PSP I would possibly go back to consoles just for it but for now STEAMDECK plays everyone's games and it's so awesome 👍😎
I remember IGN gave this a really bad review, they were so wrong.
The title tells me you were part of the problem with this game... bad unwarranted press. The game was a masterpiece, but this channel has the need to put out content... unnecessary or not
masterpiece? God... the bar is very low nowadays. Every game is a "masterpiece" or 9/10. Even a generic open-world game. Its almost all about graphics these days. Had it had shitty graphics, you would be calling this a mediocre game. Be honest.
Days Gone was a victim of what I like to call the "It's good enough, but that's not good enough" effect. It had its problems, but I feel like it got way more hate than it deserved. I'm glad people are starting to like it now. Hopefully a Days Gone sequel or spiritual sequel would be great!
It was never broken, I got it day 1 and never had an issue, great game please give us the sequel 🙏
Played it a little over 3 years ago. Had a blast. Didn’t notice in the least it needed fixing.
GamingBolt, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!
For those asking for a sequel their is a petition with 1.6 million signatures.Sign that petition and keep promoting this game and hopefully we get a sequel
I bought this game a few months after the launch on sale. I was very hyped for it, being a big fan of Bend Studio's work. However, immediately after starting the game for the first time, the graphic assets wouldn't fully load and Deacon would fall through the ground and the game would get stuck in a forever-falling loop. No big deal, I'll just restart the game. And it happened again. Third time's a charm? Nope. So, I didn't play the game until several months later. There were still some issues with the game but I was finally able to play it and it became one of my favorite games. But because of the poor state of launch, I wasn't happy with John Garvin's comment saying, "If you love a game, buy it at f****** full price." To that, I say... how about you finish the game and put it in a playable state BEFORE it launches, and then maybe it would be worth full price.
I really wish they had an online co-op mode with friends that truly would've taken this game to the next level, overall fun game
One of the best games sony offered, never had an issue with it on ps4..
I loved this game when it first came out. It does take forever for the story and game to get going which I believed is what hurt it. It was one of those games that I dipped in for time to time until after 10 hours it seemed tlhe story and the game got really good and it finally got it's hooks in me but it did take a while to get to the good stuff
Love Days Gone , but I'm not sure how a sequel would turn out without Jeff Ross being involved.
I’m playing it again and seems like theres a lot more wolves, mountain lions, bears and breakers every time I hit the road.
Days Gone was seriously underrated 😢
This game is so understed. Just finished it again. Great game world, the hordes scare the shit out of me and i love the story.
I played it about a year after release. It was fixed and extremely fun then. Anyone that bought into to journalists hate on this game is doing themselves a great disservice. PLAY THIS GAME! it’s great.
Looking at what I've seen so far from Fooster's playthroughs, this game strikes a good balance between free roaming and advancing the main story. It feels much less linear than TLoU series and perhaps more immersive because of it. Underrated indeed
Love this game now i need for another playthrough
never realized it was broken. Even my playthrough on PS4 Pro seemed very fluid, not flawless but nothing to complain about.
Just finished the story in about 40 hours, seriously some of the best written characters in gaming, I really hope we get to see Deacon again if people keep making content on this masterpiece
All we need is days gone 2 this is my favorite game in the world
I think the story with Deacon really wrapped up....just that cliffhanger with Nero could have been cool for a sequel....
It got cancelled by Sony unfortunately 😢
@@wkadalie they can make days gone 2
It's been fixed in the first year after release....wtf is with this title ?!
It's gamingbolt the new IGN
Ive never been more angry about a game not getting a sequel than days gone. Ive completed the story several times and enjoyed it more it each time... Great game
Critics are so stupid. This was and is a magnificient game. They're not in tune with everyday people. I'm glad word of mouth went against the narative being sold.
Yeah me too. I finally got to see what the fuss is about. Truly a gem.
people just wake up and not affected by influencers or big games sites. this game is excellent since longtime
Bro, Days Gone has been in tip-top shape for years... It can still have some issues here and there, and it's still a good idea to avoid using rest mode on consoles, but those things are true of so, so many great games.
The single issue I have with this game is that there was nothing much to do after the game was beat
I started playing DG for the first time about a month ago. I thought it was great. I didn't experience any bugs and was overall very satisfied with it. It might be the best zombie game I've ever played.
The most underrated game for years. I just finished it for the third time and enjoyed every second of it.
Days Gone was one of the first games I picked back up after 2 years of not playing. I saw it on Steam, grabbed it on a whim, and I really loved it.
Such an under rated game. This game should have sold way more copies than it did. Awesome game!
I never had any problems with the game playing it for years on PS and then PC; it has been flawless. The fact that some people didn't rate it highly removes their credibility to me and I won't bother listening to their opinions on games, and I guess I can add "Gaming Bolt" to that list.
I’ve played though this game multiple times, I’ve always loved the story and characters. It’s pretty well patched, it was really buggy when it came out buy usually in a funny way where you would go flying 500ft in the air for no reason. Also missions wouldn’t complete and you would have to restart. But last few playthoughs it’s been fine. Really wish there will be a sequel
I've finished it several times and never had any issues, I hope we get a sequel some day!
I never had a problem with this game for years 😂
I platinumed this gem back in the day on my ps4 slim, after all these years I hopped on back on my ps5 and my lord the game shines like never. Usually I can’t really play open world games any more since, you know, they feel empty for me, I kind lose the vibe. But this one definitely scratches the itch, probably will platinum it again.
If anybody could recommend something similar I’d appreciate it
How was it broken ? I never had issues
Anyone else recognize the track playing in the background? It's the same one they use on @Playstation Access Podcasts. Just an observation.
Just picked it up, now i know it ends on a cliffhanger, thanks
One of the more realistic, engaging open world games I have played. The gameplay and world got a bit stale after 25 hours or so.
This game is beautiful on PC I replay it every year!
It was never broken ❤
Played again recently on PC. Absolutely loved it and wish we would get a sequel
I remember the first time playing days gone, everything just feel enjoyable. The side missions never felt like a chore unlike many other games out there. A sequel is a must. Sony don't be stupid.
I’m 93% complete with the game and I’ve only ran into one bug and that’s when I tried to get on my motorcycle when it was at weird angle and it went under the map. No big deal you just run to an outpost and summon your bike from a mechanic shop.
I really liked the game... might go back and play it again
best game in the last 15 years. absolutely immersive story line, great voice acting.. huge fan.
Enganging story line indeed and very enjoyable game....until our dude found his wife, the center of the whole story and she started acting illogically out of character, almost blaming him for still being alive and totally blowing him off while some rando black dude is wearing her wedding ring, and our guy is like..."Naaah it will be fine, I'll win her love again no matter what". Am I the only one that finds this waaaay out of character after setting up the story as a true love romance or somesuch, but she forgot about all that and can't be even bothered to ask how he survived? Yeah, I'm uninstalling it, they lost me with this on purpose done illogical nonsense just to embbarass and mock the main hero of the story, No thanks
@@davisor7116 actually, it made alot of sense to me, she thought he had died, the colonel had rules against relationships, he was obviously a nutjob. she had given up hope of ever seeing deacon again and kept him at arms length because her focus was to create a cure. you can see her shifting attitudes and the emotional nuances as time goes by and she realizes that hes survived all this time and they can survive together despite the situation the worlds in. he gives up everyone he cares about to show his love and support, sacrifices it all for her. had nothing to do with trying to embarrass deacon, had alot ot do with her finally realizing he was real, that he was alive, and that his feelings for her hadnt changed except to become stronger.
at least that was my take on it, but by that point i was pretty much neck deep in the story.. even sat through the ending credits with a smile and just a sense of "wow".. then it caught my eye.. i hadnt taken the time to get trust with all 3 camps up north... woudl that make a difference? so i took a week off and started playing again. lol.
It plays 60pfs.
Deacon is basically a bunch of old heads deciding what a cool young biker should be. Love this game, hate how naughty dog made this biker archetype that’s as generic as it comes.
