Same. Just bought it two weeks ago maybe. All technical issues solved this game is brilliant. If you loved games like ghost of tsushima and horizon you will love this.
But not a horse because it's a bike and not a western because it's in modern time with freakers aka living zombies. So you my friend are completely wrong.
I'm deep into this game right now and Im absolutely loving it. There are bugs and glitches but not enough to ruin the experience. Most underrated game I've ever played in my life. 9/10
To be honest. I give this game an 8/10 so far. There are some things I dont like and few things i love. But the things i love are AMAZING. Hoards are TERRIFYING. Rushing towards your bike on foot in the moonlight with a fuel tank because your tank is too low to get the hell outta dodge and you only have 2 motives, 30 bullets, and about 50 flesh eating zombies swarming right at you with no other chance of escape, It's AMAZING!
It's 6/10 at best. The game is so boring, the writing too, and the character isn't interesting. Weirdly enough, the driving felt like Watchdogs, the first one which isn't good. The only reason I gave it 5 is because of the music and the fact it's the first zombie open world game I played even though it's boring as hell.
Well of course today less and less games use that trick, but yeah it's no Red Dead 2. But I don't mind that much, personally. But yeah it cannot be unseen now. But it's like in some titles where the discussions are always happening in wide shots. Lot of hold games did that back in the days. GTA surely did that in San Andreas or something. Plus, it's much less work if you lack time or money. Animate just a couple of words or sentences and then change to a reaction shot. When it's used too much it's obvious but these days you don't see much of it. Maybe in horizon zero dawn they used it since the mouth animations aren't the bests.

The tech issues could be addressed to some extent with patches. The complaint about the gunplay not being great could be intentional. He's not supposed to be an elite military commando. I was eagerly anticipating this game for the reasons that he listed as strengths of the game, so I'm probably going to be satisfied with it.
@@whatNtarnation90 I've been watching a ton of other reviewers say the gunplay is great. Regardless doesn't sound like an issue, could just be personal preference too.
I found it interesting that this was created by the same studio that gave us the Syphon Filter series. Those games were my favorites back in the early PS days.
Ha, I didn't realized that. The Syphon Filter games were awesome. The action and those animations were amazing back in the day. I don't know why the series didn't do as good as Metal Gear. I do hope they bring it back
this game gets far too much criticism for my liking just play it and have fun for god sake..people are so picky nowadays.....Jesus...I started gaming on pong...nobody moaned about that....yes...I know...
It's a bummer that it's not the marvel that I thought itd be, but I think I'll drill buy it tomorrow. Seems it's got some technical issues and gameplay is at the level of tlou, so I'll probably love it if the story is good. Nice review.
Saving someone and directing them to a camp is great. But see games have to go the extra mile now like Witcher and RDR2. I want to see that guy back at that specific camp or maybe even deceased part way back as he didn't make it or anything like that. Its the extra mile that really make open world games for me. Like NPC activities for example, imagine if the camps in days gone had some of their crew leave or return on bikes occasionally and spoke to one another about a successful or unsuccessful loot run that maybe turned into some decent intel for us, the protagonist. NPCs in camps need to do more than be idle or have one patrol route, I know its rough to implement and this game already seems like it needed another month or two but its the little things that really make the world feel living and lived in that make me lose myself in it. Surprising how empty a populated area can feel like even when its full of NPCs, they have to cast that illusion over us. Also the audio in this game is awesome, if you are not already I highly recommend headphones. At night the eerie atmosphere and close/distant freaker cries still sends shivers up my spine, I can literally tell which direction they are, what gender they are and how far away they are even though I cant see them on screen or on the radar. Hordes as well you hear before you see a lot of the time and its really good. Game makes me feel tense and vulnerable at all times but especially when off the bike or at night, zombies or equivalent scare the shit out of me so that's probably why but credit to the devs for making me not feel overpowered and increasing my BPM. Also credit to ACG here, only found him 2 hours ago and I find myself going through his reviews now. Really comprehensive reviews and informative from a non biased opinion. Was using gameranx but they seem to review from a personal enjoyment perspective which means style of games they like (looter shooters for example) get a head start in the review department. ACG uses enjoyment from a neutral stance and reviews games as a full product and it makes for a much more detailed and rounded review, really good stuff man thanks for the videos.
I get everything you are saying. I do. But your comment just goes to show just how ignorant consumers are. This game was made by a studio that is much smaller than a studio like rockstar. And what they put out is pretty damn impressive all things considered. When good games like this go unnoticed, dogshit like current EA titles get shat out.
I’m playing this in 2020 for the first time and this review seems so far off the mark for me. Everybody has their opinions but I find this game to be exceptional
I recently played this game. I loved it. An easy 9/10. Most technical issues have been solved including pop-in and fps. Hopefully we get a sequel. If you don't have it, GET IT!
I've played it last year on PC and man is this a good game. Even story wise I'm really into it. Sadly I've read that there is no sequel planed as the sales didn't meet expectations.
All games have issues and no game is perfect You like it you buy it Many hardworking people have stayed tensed and worked hared for years for this game. I love it
For some damned reason, survival games just can't get away from the "carrying 27 weapons" from DooM or Quake. If you're going to make a realistic survival game, stop putting 7 weapons on their back, 4 weapons on their hip, and a nonexistent backpack that holds 200lbs of gear. Force the player to limit what they can carry. 1 rifle and 2 small weapons like a pistol and a knife. Or 2 large weapons and a Molotov cocktail. People can only carry so much and still be combat effective. Speaking of Molotov cocktails. That's something else that bothers me. You're running around and fighting whom/whatever, you get shot while carrying EXTREMELY flammable materials.....and you don't catch on fire or break the bottle? Either make a survival game, or admit you're game is just a 3rd person version of DooM/Quake with a post-apocalyptic skin.
US Marines carry a 70 lb ruck, a loaded steel plate carrier vest, 11 lb rifle, sidearm, and 210 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition. Anything more than that is just not realistic
Just so you know guys as of 16/5 most 95% of the issues are fixed ( actually since like week 1 of the game. ) and there are hardly any performance issues. As for me I never had the game broken . Once you start playing lote and investing skill points your gameplay , especially the driving and gunplay feel much more polished as they are essentially a skill . The game is honestly fantastic . A rough diamond. Props on the devs
i really dont understand this kind of comments? if you have been waiting for this game for a while why dont you buy it? i would understand not buying it if the game was filled with buggs and microtransactions but this game is pretty decent with few meaningless problems and you say you wont buy it?
@@ITs_Ponyo101 Not even close. Mediocre games just like Days Gone RAPIDLY drop in price. They dropped the price of Mortal Kombat a day after release. Why overpay for something that frankly isn't worth it? I'll pick it up when it drops to $20 a month from now.
@@ITs_Ponyo101 Or perhaps the review through off his view of the game and now he feels it's a smarter decision to spend less later, than pay the premium now for a game that isn't quite what he was hoping for. It has nothing to do with being cheap.
I don’t get why people think The Last Of Us’ gameplay isn’t that great. Everyone must have been playing it on the easiest difficulty. Because on Grounded difficultly, it’s the most intense and rewarding combat I have ever seen in a game.
One of the few reviewers I actually trust. Even if I disagree with you, which I have in the past, your review gives me all the info I need, irrespective of the rating you give it at the end. Great job.
Bought the game with release, left it almost a week after to not play it till a mont back. One of the best games ive played. Great storytelling and its greatly patched since the beginning. Solid 9/10. Hope for part 2 !
I don't see how this game seemed to have gotten average reviews at best. I think the game is great and aside from the bugs I disagreed with mostly everything from the reviews
That's why reviews are subjective. It's an individuals take on it. It's brilliant if you enjoy it - but when someone can back up why they don't, it's valid perspective!
Easily one of the best games of 2019 for me... the first few hours left me unsure, but the story suprised me and the gameplay loop was moorish - visuals on 4k tv ps4 pro blew my mind! Cant believe how far games have come along graphically!
I'd rather they just made a new Syphon Filter game instead. Give us fans something to make up for that stupid cliffhanger ending at the end of Logan's Shadow so many years ago.
@@brandonknight431 yeah bro i dont get the criticism and flack the game has gotten. It may not be GOTY but it's defintely not mediocre like so many sites have said.Its a damn fun game atleast to me lol
Me too. I get close to pulling the trigger then I hesitate and think some more. I do want to play the game though and I know it won’t be this discounted again for a while
Jacob Durstock got it during Days of Play sale. Worth every dollar. Having a ton of fun on Survival Mode. I would recommend starting on that if you pick it up. Very immersive and terrifying game on Survival.
About what I've always expected honestly. Was never hyped for this one, just thought it would end up being a good game, but not amazing. I'll bite when it's 39.99 or less.
@@Chy-th3sj what a strange question... It's not like you gain anything by him buying today nor lose anything by him waiting. You are not Sony. You don't need to protect their cash flow.
@@Cyrribrae There seem to be quite few apparent shills trying to justify the full price in the comments. Scan through, you'll find multiple people doing this. Anyone normal would see absolutely no benefit in doing this. The game is mediocre and is nowhere near worth the full $60. It'll likely be a $20 game in a few weeks to a month.
That's what doomed this game for it's release. Hype. Too much of it. People started coming with crazy ideas about what this game was going to be. An Open world last of us. Zombie death stranding. Call me what you want but it's almost like an exclusive PS4 title is cursed to either perform really really really well or be dead on a arrival like No Man's Sky and eventually be brought to it's full potential or not. I really hope this will not be the same with other exclusive titles coming up, that they can find their footing and the developers can be proud of something that wasn't tweaked to impress a community hooked on some strange belief of "exclusive=masterpiece". This studio worked on one of my favourite PSP games of all times: Resistance Retribution. This studio is capable of great things, Days Gone is just the canvas being put on the easel.
Looks fun to me, and I snagged a copy on newegg for $50 w/ free shipping already. The game world looks awesome. From what I gather it looks incredible with HDR, too. Should have my copy in the mail soon.
I'm looking at getting sekiro next week.is it as good as everyone is saying?also played the DMC 5 demo and will get that when the price drops.i can wait a bit longer for days gone.
I love all the reviews but honestly im having a blast with this game reminds me of the last of us alot just like a open world version deff has been the first game in awhile i havent been able to put down
I am with you on that. The fun factor is definitely very high on this one but open world games are my favorite genre. If Sony Bend is able to continue supporting this game by patching up some of its technical short comings, we will be looking at a solid 8.5/10 game.
@@projektfist6258 oh yeah forsure atleast sense ive started i havent really seen any of the bugs expect for like one time the cut scene was outta synch for like a second its definitely fun ive seen others say they think the motorcycle feels a little stiff but thats legit one of my favorite parts is just flying around on my bike haha

Love the game. It solves the minor issue I had with The last of us. Amazing game but heavily built around stealth (especially higher difficulties). While this game has more focus on killing zombies and having the gear to do so. Story is also decent but I like it. 8/10
I hear ya, the constant stealth turned me off last of us after a a few hours. I might check this one out.
As a huge Fan of Stealth action I always use stealth if it’s an option. Love it. Guns blazing isn’t a realistic way to survive. Stealth is.
This will be a good 30$ purchase in the future.
It is EASILY worth 60 bucks.
@@Maidiac no zombie game is worth $60 lol.
Subject matter is irrelevant. A game is either fun or it isn't.

@@Maidiac Yeah games are 79.99 in Canada, I don't pay full price unless its a series I LOVE. So that being said, this will be a good 30$ purchase in the future.

Excellent review, man. You pretty much confirmed the suspicions I had about this game. Hope all is well with you!
I’m loving this game so far! The day one patches must of fixed a lot cause I’m about 12 hours in and I haven’t seen a single glitch yet.
Good to know 👍
@@jadekaay there are glitches for sure. just dont go into this game thinking theres none. he may got lucky like the lottery. but there are glitches. like the reviewer said. this is defeintly a wait for sale. no way its 60 bucks worth. wait for sale means "in the middle.. " like its not soo good and its not soo bad.
I'm having a lot of fun with it too. The only bugs I've ran into was the sound bug the first day or two, and the lip syncing off in a few cutscenes.
Well it got a patch today
Can’t be more than a 20 hour game in total. Rdr2 is 100+ so this can’t be nearly as big
I kinda figured this is how it would play out. Waiting for a sale is fine by me. Means I can take a crack at my backlog for now.
I hear ya.....my backlog is ridiculous right now. Even if ACG rated this game a "buy", I'd still wait for sale. I've had Dying Light for over 2 years now and it is still sitting on my shelf factory sealed.....along with 80+ other games waiting to be played
Same here. That's why I watch reviews and my backlog is kinda heavy so I should fix that.

So overall a good game
The tech issues could be addressed to some extent with patches. The complaint about the gunplay not being great could be intentional. He's not supposed to be an elite military commando. I was eagerly anticipating this game for the reasons that he listed as strengths of the game, so I'm probably going to be satisfied with it.
@@AKSBSU He wasn't referring to the gameplay being "too hard"... he's saying the gunplay is bad. Big difference.
@@whatNtarnation90 I've been watching a ton of other reviewers say the gunplay is great. Regardless doesn't sound like an issue, could just be personal preference too.
@TheKoochy Same, all the reasons he believes its a wait for sale is kind of silly. Buying the game day one.
The gunplay and ai issues are NOT minor but yeah it's still a good game.
I found it interesting that this was created by the same studio that gave us the Syphon Filter series. Those games were my favorites back in the early PS days.
Didn't know that. What I would do for Syphoon filter remaster. Loved those games
Ha, I didn't realized that. The Syphon Filter games were awesome. The action and those animations were amazing back in the day. I don't know why the series didn't do as good as Metal Gear. I do hope they bring it back
Those games were garbage.
@@mulderscully3707
Syphon Filter was one of the trio stealth games, along with MGS and SC.
@@mulderscully3707 no way. Syphon Filter was one of the better made games of the time.
this game gets far too much criticism for my liking just play it and have fun for god sake..people are so picky nowadays.....Jesus...I started gaming on pong...nobody moaned about that....yes...I know...
It's a bummer that it's not the marvel that I thought itd be, but I think I'll drill buy it tomorrow. Seems it's got some technical issues and gameplay is at the level of tlou, so I'll probably love it if the story is good. Nice review.
blkwng what does drill buy it mean?
Same
considering that the letter "d" is right next to the letter "s" on any keyboard they probably meant to say "still" instead of "drill"... typo error.

Saving someone and directing them to a camp is great. But see games have to go the extra mile now like Witcher and RDR2. I want to see that guy back at that specific camp or maybe even deceased part way back as he didn't make it or anything like that. Its the extra mile that really make open world games for me. Like NPC activities for example, imagine if the camps in days gone had some of their crew leave or return on bikes occasionally and spoke to one another about a successful or unsuccessful loot run that maybe turned into some decent intel for us, the protagonist.
NPCs in camps need to do more than be idle or have one patrol route, I know its rough to implement and this game already seems like it needed another month or two but its the little things that really make the world feel living and lived in that make me lose myself in it. Surprising how empty a populated area can feel like even when its full of NPCs, they have to cast that illusion over us.
Also the audio in this game is awesome, if you are not already I highly recommend headphones. At night the eerie atmosphere and close/distant freaker cries still sends shivers up my spine, I can literally tell which direction they are, what gender they are and how far away they are even though I cant see them on screen or on the radar. Hordes as well you hear before you see a lot of the time and its really good. Game makes me feel tense and vulnerable at all times but especially when off the bike or at night, zombies or equivalent scare the shit out of me so that's probably why but credit to the devs for making me not feel overpowered and increasing my BPM.
Also credit to ACG here, only found him 2 hours ago and I find myself going through his reviews now. Really comprehensive reviews and informative from a non biased opinion. Was using gameranx but they seem to review from a personal enjoyment perspective which means style of games they like (looter shooters for example) get a head start in the review department. ACG uses enjoyment from a neutral stance and reviews games as a full product and it makes for a much more detailed and rounded review, really good stuff man thanks for the videos.
I get everything you are saying. I do. But your comment just goes to show just how ignorant consumers are. This game was made by a studio that is much smaller than a studio like rockstar. And what they put out is pretty damn impressive all things considered. When good games like this go unnoticed, dogshit like current EA titles get shat out.
@@liquidsnake4943 well said
I’m playing this in 2020 for the first time and this review seems so far off the mark for me. Everybody has their opinions but I find this game to be exceptional
Bought it on sale for $30 and now really enjoying playing a solid Apocalypse-type game during these crazy times.
Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for zombies. If it has zombies, it's a buy for me.
THEY'RE NOT ZOMBIES!!!! ;)

I recently played this game. I loved it. An easy 9/10. Most technical issues have been solved including pop-in and fps. Hopefully we get a sequel. If you don't have it, GET IT!
I've played it last year on PC and man is this a good game. Even story wise I'm really into it. Sadly I've read that there is no sequel planed as the sales didn't meet expectations.
All games have issues and no game is perfect
You like it you buy it
Many hardworking people have stayed tensed and worked hared for years for this game. I love it
Such an amazing game. 9.5/10
For some damned reason, survival games just can't get away from the "carrying 27 weapons" from DooM or Quake.
If you're going to make a realistic survival game, stop putting 7 weapons on their back, 4 weapons on their hip, and a nonexistent backpack that holds 200lbs of gear.
Force the player to limit what they can carry. 1 rifle and 2 small weapons like a pistol and a knife. Or 2 large weapons and a Molotov cocktail. People can only carry so much and still be combat effective.
Speaking of Molotov cocktails. That's something else that bothers me. You're running around and fighting whom/whatever, you get shot while carrying EXTREMELY flammable materials.....and you don't catch on fire or break the bottle?
Either make a survival game, or admit you're game is just a 3rd person version of DooM/Quake with a post-apocalyptic skin.
It wasn't advertised as a survival game from what I heard. But I do agree with having a crap load of weapons
US Marines carry a 70 lb ruck, a loaded steel plate carrier vest, 11 lb rifle, sidearm, and 210 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition. Anything more than that is just not realistic
Just so you know guys as of 16/5 most 95% of the issues are fixed ( actually since like week 1 of the game. ) and there are hardly any performance issues. As for me I never had the game broken .
Once you start playing lote and investing skill points your gameplay , especially the driving and gunplay feel much more polished as they are essentially a skill . The game is honestly fantastic . A rough diamond. Props on the devs
evangelos JustThat agreed.
THX for the update i get what they say about gun play been mediocre it's probably because it's not max lvl
Besides the side missions, what else the player can do after the main story?
No Other xD hordes of you haven’t done them all by the time the storyline ends
Excellent review. Been waiting on this game for a while, though I may wait for a sale.
i really dont understand this kind of comments? if you have been waiting for this game for a while why dont you buy it? i would understand not buying it if the game was filled with buggs and microtransactions but this game is pretty decent with few meaningless problems and you say you wont buy it?
@@azrrrrrrrr I agree with you completely it's just people being cheap
@@ITs_Ponyo101
Not even close. Mediocre games just like Days Gone RAPIDLY drop in price. They dropped the price of Mortal Kombat a day after release. Why overpay for something that frankly isn't worth it?
I'll pick it up when it drops to $20 a month from now.
@@ITs_Ponyo101 Or perhaps the review through off his view of the game and now he feels it's a smarter decision to spend less later, than pay the premium now for a game that isn't quite what he was hoping for. It has nothing to do with being cheap.

I loved what you said at the start about smaller channels! Fair play! Mark
Did you catch what channel he recommended?
I heard bad z tech but couldn't find it.
I don’t get why people think The Last Of Us’ gameplay isn’t that great. Everyone must have been playing it on the easiest difficulty. Because on Grounded difficultly, it’s the most intense and rewarding combat I have ever seen in a game.
Hear hear
If a game's gameplay is only great on the hardest difficulty, then surely it deserves some criticism anyway.
Not everyone is going to play it on grounded :)
DROPPING ON PC THIS SPRING!
Honest review to the point... Game looks ok but I'd just wait until Days Gone on Sale :-)
Thanks for another great review !
One of the few reviewers I actually trust. Even if I disagree with you, which I have in the past, your review gives me all the info I need, irrespective of the rating you give it at the end. Great job.
I wish he mentioned how flat this game falls in late game
the HUD and interface isn't gritty enough for me. This looks more Tom Clancy than post-apocalypse
Like the HUD looks to techie? I think I see what you mean.
It should have more depressed dark mood.
Lmao
Jesus Christ.
Hardly any games have good hud and interface anymore, mostly coloured squares and rectangles with boring text
Bought the game with release, left it almost a week after to not play it till a mont back.
One of the best games ive played.
Great storytelling and its greatly patched since the beginning. Solid 9/10.
Hope for part 2 !
great storytelling lmfao
@@HOPGamingZone it is great lol. because the second time i played it i didnt have much fun thats because i already know how the story gonna ends

Great review as always. Although I definitely believe that gameplay and fun factor matter 20x more than an audio bug here and there. Just my opinion
@Top Dog nice constructive criticism
That's true, but we are in 2019 and you would pay 60 dollars to buy it
I agree, I bought metro exodus and despite there being a little audio bug everytime I jumped I still enjoy the shit out of that game
@@bgill6623 still playing,shit feels like a movie it's so good I swear
I don't see how this game seemed to have gotten average reviews at best. I think the game is great and aside from the bugs I disagreed with mostly everything from the reviews
Wait for sale? I really really enjoyed this game, so much so it is now my favourite open world game. Just got the plat after 80+ of gameplay.
That's why reviews are subjective. It's an individuals take on it. It's brilliant if you enjoy it - but when someone can back up why they don't, it's valid perspective!
Obviously, you haven't played RDRII..
@@AussieLiam93 Actually i have completed it thanks.
Is it dumb that I'm annoyed by the term freaker? They're zombies no matter what the devs say lol.
I would've preferred Runners
I think zeke bothers me the most lol
Still excited to play this game. Wait for a sale never scared me away from a great looking game. As always a informative review.
Same since I would be anyway as I don't buy many games at full price these days
Everything about Days Gone looks great but I'm worried the shooting mechanics are going to be painfully annoying
They're a bit dead rising esqe, but if you liked the mafia games, you'll like the shooting
Early gameplay they are, but they improve with better weapons and skills.
Can you play it first person?
Easily one of the best games of 2019 for me... the first few hours left me unsure, but the story suprised me and the gameplay loop was moorish - visuals on 4k tv ps4 pro blew my mind! Cant believe how far games have come along graphically!

@A Google User Dying Light 2 is already coming out, either end of this year or sometime next year

Ew no wtf
Syphon Filter was a solid series. I am hoping for either a remaster or a new game as well to close out the series.

They should have just named this game "Just an average day in normal Portland, Oregon".
ign 6.5 because the game is not COD
kratos or fortnite
Yea that's why even ACG gave it bad score "wait for sale" game sucks.
If it would be this bad like you said. He would have said "never touch"

@@jacobdurstock1863 Honestly, still waffling as of this moment.
Me too. I get close to pulling the trigger then I hesitate and think some more. I do want to play the game though and I know it won’t be this discounted again for a while
Jacob Durstock got it during Days of Play sale. Worth every dollar. Having a ton of fun on Survival Mode. I would recommend starting on that if you pick it up. Very immersive and terrifying game on Survival.
About what I've always expected honestly. Was never hyped for this one, just thought it would end up being a good game, but not amazing. I'll bite when it's 39.99 or less.

There seem to be quite few apparent shills trying to justify the full price in the comments. Scan through, you'll find multiple people doing this. Anyone normal would see absolutely no benefit in doing this.
The game is mediocre and is nowhere near worth the full $60. It'll likely be a $20 game in a few weeks to a month.
Damn was really hyped for this game so I'm sad that it wasn't an instant buy :/
I do trust acg tho so probably will pick this one up during a psn sale
Just wait for the sale by that time the bugs, glitches, and technical problems will be patched.
Instead of watching one review, watch more, gameplay too.
yup that's should do , delaying your fun if bugs/glitch bothering you so much 😂
That's what doomed this game for it's release. Hype. Too much of it. People started coming with crazy ideas about what this game was going to be. An Open world last of us. Zombie death stranding. Call me what you want but it's almost like an exclusive PS4 title is cursed to either perform really really really well or be dead on a arrival like No Man's Sky and eventually be brought to it's full potential or not. I really hope this will not be the same with other exclusive titles coming up, that they can find their footing and the developers can be proud of something that wasn't tweaked to impress a community hooked on some strange belief of "exclusive=masterpiece". This studio worked on one of my favourite PSP games of all times: Resistance Retribution. This studio is capable of great things, Days Gone is just the canvas being put on the easel.
Looks fun to me, and I snagged a copy on newegg for $50 w/ free shipping already. The game world looks awesome. From what I gather it looks incredible with HDR, too. Should have my copy in the mail soon.
I’ll wait until I finish sekiro and dmc5 and then I’ll pick this up. Ill let them patch all the bugs and issues first.
I'm looking at getting sekiro next week.is it as good as everyone is saying?also played the DMC 5 demo and will get that when the price drops.i can wait a bit longer for days gone.

I love all the reviews but honestly im having a blast with this game reminds me of the last of us alot just like a open world version deff has been the first game in awhile i havent been able to put down
I am with you on that. The fun factor is definitely very high on this one but open world games are my favorite genre. If Sony Bend is able to continue supporting this game by patching up some of its technical short comings, we will be looking at a solid 8.5/10 game.

New Developer, comes in with a big game like Days Gone. They have passion so will give them the benefit of the doubt, once Days Gone 2 comes around they'll have worked it all out.
