thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you.
They love Ac odysseys the npcs are all copy paste, didnt hear these complaints about odyssey.
Or they look alike. Because I couldn't tell who's who at time's
I remember there was, believe it or not, a point in time when somebody was allowed to have differing opinions. And people who disagreed, shut the fuck up and respected their opinions. I know. It sounds crazy. But that was a thing at one point. The dark days some of you would call it.
Honestly every game is copy and paste. Their isn't enough hard drive space to make every NPC different. I was listening to how they made the Horde. Which is quite a difficult feat. They just duplicated 3 or four models, and increased heights and widths to make them different. And other stuff but that was the gist.
I'm still baffled by how much Gregg loved AC Odyssey when its just a worse version of Origins and he says he didn't like that.
BasketCase9483 I know. Fuck personal opinions!! Am I right?! Fan boii till I dyeie boiieyy.
I love greg and all, but i think my views on games and his have drifted away from one another.
Mine too, I'm waiting to hear Colins opinion of the game on his show. He loved Dying Light and Mad Max. So his views might be closer to mine.
I find my opinions rarely align with theres, but that's why I watch/listen. Would be weird to only watch/listen to content with the guarantee that they would say what you are thinking.
Qwenter lol for real
I think a lot of people realized that after his unfavorable view of Red Dead 2. Obviously, his tastes have changed; he's really into the games as a service game and that is where he finds his rewards and enjoys the most (not saying he doesn't still like single player or other games but obviously his focus has been Monster Hunter World, Division 2, Fortnite, etc). It's not mine and I think a lot of longtime fans are finding themselves splitting with a lot of personalities not just Greg
his basically the games as service guy now, destiny, anthem, divison etc, basically the games with no story which are bare bones playgrounds only fun with friends. Greg is lucky that he knows so many people that play, most of us have 3 or 4 good friends to play with and getting on at the same time is difficult
No Andrea that wedding line isn't "ripped" from sons of anarchy that line is an authentic line in biker culture that they say when they're getting married. Lol
I learned something!
I laughed when she said that, its like she doesn't know that bikers are a real thing and thinks SOA made them up.
Bikers... are.... REAL?!?!
She’s probably going to chalk this up to “hate comments”
To be fair, that sounds like a line written for television, and not a widely-known cultural proverb, lol.
Y’all didn’t mention the weather system and day night cycle which is beautiful
Games still fun as shit. Every game has bugs. I haven’t seen many bugs maybe your ps4 is messed up
when you actually play all the game you realize that all the negative reviews, actually seem as they did not finished the game. Like if only they played for 6 - 8 hrs and then, they had someone that actually finished the game to told them the rest of the story. the game is great...a Solid 8/10. Would be a 9/10 if it did not had the glitches.
Oh wow, a weather system. Yeah, I see now. Absolutely redeems every negative aspect of this game.
I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed more with a Kinda Funny game review than I have with Days Gone. I’m really enjoying it so far (about 20hrs).
Same, I'm loving this game. Sure there's performance issues and some gameplay wonkiness, but it's fun as shit and I actually really like the story so far, and the characters are great. Sucks that 7/10 is a "failure" these days. People are just too stuck-up and complain about everything and can't enjoy something that has its flaws. I'm glad you're enjoying the game as well
@@KevinHolik People can have their opinions without you calling them stuck-up because of it
Glad you're enjoying the game
I disagree. To me days gone is a great game. I'm enjoying it and I find it rewarding. It scratches my zombie apocalypse survival itch
I agree fully,I dont understand how it's not rewarding wtf....
It isn't a failure or a bad game at all. Sure, has some performance issues and weird cutscene transition problems, and a some gameplay clunkiness, but none of that is game-breaking or make the game a failure. People are too snobby and expect too much these days, I guess. If it isn't 9/10, people say it's bad. What a time to be alive. I'm glad you enjoy this game as well, I'm having a blast and feel sorry for those who aren't able to.
I agree everyone wants 9 and 10s ,seems there's no room for just good games these days.
Many will miss out thanks to these nit pick,rush reviewers that compare games.
@@everythingnerdyassemblewor1474 Perfectly said.
@@KevinHolik Problem is it came after Spiderman and GOW. If it came after Order and Second Sons. People would of praised it. It's not exactly fair, they don't have the same experience of Santa Monica or Insomniac. Their next game will fix a lot of these mistakes.
I think the points of criticism for Days Gone are valid, but I’m really enjoying the game. I think the story is very good. Some minor technical bugs but I’ve had zero issues with the frame rate. There are a lot of loading screens but it is a beautiful game and I find the game play loop rewarding. Love the show. Thanks for all your games content.
They must really like games developed by Canadians. Come to think of it, Maybe they just need the gender optional Protagonist, or MAYBE THEY DO !!! Initially I gave their review a thumbs up for being even handed then, after playing the game I realized this is an Amazing.
Greg interrupts everyone for about 30 minutes straight. 😂😂😂
Greg constantly interrupting Andrea
I wanted to know what Andrea thought on some of the parts of the game but Greg interrupted her so many times. I’m enjoying the game...to each is own.
to each his own*
She does the exact same
tiernanstevens117 There were two points she started but never finished. They all interrupt each other so I’m not faulting Greg for interrupting. I guess my gripe is that she never got to return to her points.
Mr FreshBest ok
@@Dyswtric2001 spelling police lol
It may not be rewarding for Greg, but most people do not agree. This is why reviews from gaming journalist should be taken with a grain of salt.
D G Breezy nah most gamers have moved on from this trash. If anything always take the minority playerbase with a grain of sault
@@SycoticForeverNeverAF Sales numbers and actual gamers, makes your reply fake news, but you have a right to believe that. rofl
@@justpressplay8530 Popularity doesn't necessarily mean quality. Never has, never will.

The thing is they play too many games and don't appreciate a good one when it comes along especially if the group think is against it for any reason. Days Gone is very rewarding if you immerse yourself in it
I see what Gregs and their opinions are about Days Gone, but most of it is 100% a reviewer person problem. Since I don’t have to rush the game, none of those things are a problem for me at all. That’s understandable tho.
I do 100% agree with Andrea about the copy and paste thing. It is disappointing for me too. So far im having a blast with the game
He also played it before the release day patch which didn't help.
That was the first disappointment...I killed the same generic freaker dozens of times within the first hour. The newts are varied it seems.
This. Exactly this.
Right these guys play through the games, suck at them and/or are intimidated by them, then they get shit scores, Greg Miller is good for this
Days Gone is far from a big disappointment.
Greg is all about the loot drop games now.
He was definitely talking about days gone like he wanted it to be a looter shooter lol this game is exposing people
what's the issue with that though? one of the greatest games ever created borderlands 2 is a looter shooter and lasted 8 years worth of content that people played and put hours into before BL3 released
Days Gone is a game that should've come out in 2014 when The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy were relevant.
I know they’re very different games but ac odyssey is super repetitive and the npcs are often exactly the same so I’m not sure why that’s a complaint here with days gone and I feel Greg’s experience was tainted by a bunch issues that are pretty much gone or at least I haven’t experienced from playing after the launch patches and patch 1.05
Isn't it different in a game where enemies are in uniform VS zombies that were once regular humans? I mean it sucks in both games but still.
When you actually play all the game you realize that all the negative reviews, actually seem as they did not finished the game.

@@HeavenlyShogun I couldn't agree more...myself included. I trashed the game but I'm glad I stuck with it. Days Gone is criminally underrated (as I saw a RUclips review titled)
@@HeavenlyShogun Days Gone is kid of the anti game journo game. It's a bit like 2019s mad max. Gamers love it and journo hate it
Dont buy this day 1,wait for patches. But anthem,buy day 1,and wait for patches
Anthem is more like Don't buy it day 1 and don't buy it any time after that.
@@coletonw I'm with u on that.
Idk if Greg has ever said that but is days gone a live service.
@@TrAnMu I wasnt talking about Greg. Was talking about andrea
Funny I did I have zero issues with it that people are moaning about from the unpatched till today the only error I had was boozer got stuck in cover after a mission had ended and I had to restart the checkpoint to say it does not reward is a joke the whole story as it plays out is great
love how Greg mentions the gamespot review if you read it you can see early from that is in the game they did not play it much more than 30 mins she says in it your character is selfish yeah sure you play a guys that spends his whole time in the game rescuing people and helping camps very selfish
Tim must be the only gamer on the planet who doesn't like the bike controls which they absolutely nailed
They are not bad, at least not once you get some upgrades, but they didn't feel good the first few hours.
It's a more realistic motion than most are accustomed to. I love it now.
@@JuvPrimervago it's the same way they hated the horse riding in rdr2...
I’ve rode heavy bike like that irl and they do have a kind of wave my float to them they nailed it pretty nice
So people really can’t have their own opinions anymore huh?
So far 20 hours in days gone and I'm loving days gone. I am gutted Greg's disappointed with him being hyped for it after playing it for a few hours at an event. But the game does need a patch for some of the random frame rate drops it has and the audio bugs . I did not expect the game to reward me after missions with say guns or items. I do find that the missions objectives you complete has percentages and at certain stages you do unlock bike skins or weapons or upgrades and then trust for your camp. I guess the developers wanted it this was because it's meant to be a survival game . I understand if you enjoy the loot and rewards from ac-o for everything you do , but I don't see days gone like that style of game. Also I find ac-o a drip in leveling up because it entices you to buy the booster.
Haven't had any audio bugs. But I did have a couple graphical and performance issues too. Also loving the game
Do you think it makes a difference when someone has to burn through a 60 hour game in a weekend vs someone who can play it over a few months? Survival open world stealth game seems like it needs to be at a slower pace to create better enjoyment.
@@Radioactive_exe same I've had a few issues but nothing major. It would suck having some of the issues people have had to go through. Plus after 7 years and a 1st party game you would not expect it to be like that.
@@Steve302 dude I agree with this 100 percent!!
@@Steve302 I guess that could be a reason but then I think surely the developers know people and reviewers will blitz through it . And you will have people who will play it over a few weeks . Look at rdr2 gameplay which in away similar to days gone and people either loved it or hated it.
IGN got their teeth kicked in for giving the game a 6.5. If the Kinda Funny crew were to give it a numbered score, it would probably be similar. Other RUclipsrs have said similar.
It seems a 6.5 is pretty accurate from all the reviews I heard... gonna wait for the price to drop significantly
@@amsteve93 No, its 7 to 8
@@amsteve93 It's actually closer to an 8. If it wasn't for the frame rate issues this game would be a solid 8. This game is far from perfect, but it is A LOT better than they are making it out to be.
The problem is you can’t just buy what you want in MK11, if you could it would actually alleviate a lot of its problems. There are basic skins that should be easy to obtain, but instead you’ll keep getting alternate color variants that look nothing like the character from the RNG/grind and skins that used to be real easy to get before or came by default are now super hard to get. The Krypt was never the problem before, the problem now is it’s RNG. The currency management/grind is super heavy but the micro transactions are non-existent. It’s like a game designed to incentivize purchases but without the means to do so.
Actual review starts at 44:20
Honestly, hearing Greg’s problems with the game only make me want to play it more.
It seems like my kinda game.
Why tho? Ive played it and its all true
Repetition, bugs, useless quests. That sounds like my type of game!
I love zombie shit. Bugs don’t bother me too badly as long as they aren’t gamebreaking. Repetition almost doesn’t bother me at all (I loved games like mad max). Also I love Greg to death but he quit RDR2 after a couple of hours and that is one of my favorite games of all time.. when he finds something not fun, chances aren’t I’ll probably think it’s fun.
@@ayyyejohnnn i feel you but at the same time some games do it right, and some dont. And i feel like this one dosent. Idk people love to shit on reviews whatever they are and its seriously annoying.
Hydro Boy I get that. I watched ACG and Colins review and they both liked it a lot, while stating that the game definitely had problems.. but problems that didn’t take away from it being fun.
Definitely not a game I’ll shell out 60 for cuz I’m broke. But when it goes down to 40 or something I think I’ll jump on it and enjoy it.
Maybe Greg didn't feel rewarded, but coming off of division 2 I can see where you'd get that, but I really like days gone...
Why make a disclaimer that you receive codes still, we know none of you buy video games
Yeah the Greg that did not like RDR2. It’s a survival game through and through out.
"quality of life" it's just another way of saying reviewers need an easy mode for days gone. This is the difference between people who play games for fun and people who play games for a job.
No it is an actual feature that can make games less tedious and boring.
@@alexanderchilton911 resource management and level progression are tedious and boring to reviewers just give them Unlimited resources and unlock all the skills in days gone. Reviewers need an easy mode so they don't have to play the game.
@@kevinmac1953
Or a game could just have good game design and progression.
Greg even goes into detail about what he would change.
According to your own logic, there is nothing wrong with Mortal Kombat's Krypt.
@@alexanderchilton911 I have not played Mortal Kombat yet but from what friends say the randomness of Rewards and the encouragement to spend real money are the Crux of the Crypt. Neither issue pertains to days gone.
@@kevinmac1953 Based on your logic it sounds like your friends need to grind and get gud.
Welp ,Whose ready to play days gone!
Me. I’m absolutely loving it. Just over half way through.
@@b.barnesws8149 im glad I probably won't play it just because its not my type of game but they really seemed to struggle to say anything good about the game
@@suckurmum2219 thats suprising, it seemed like they would rather get a root canal than play this game
You have to wait to the end, but the real reason the game probably doesn't click is that he has to marathon these games to get to next one. When you have the mindset of needing to rush though a game, all the enjoyment goes out the window. It just becomes meeting a deadline. I'm actually surprised he beat the game since he couldn't even complete RDR2.
True
I actually agree. This game is about taking it slow, Scavenging, going house to house stealthily, and getting immersed in survival. When you're under pressure to beat it it can seem like a grind.
They left IGN, but still operate like they are with IGN. There should be no deadlines. Since they still get free games, I guess it's hard to sink time into one. Survival games just might not be their thing as these games tend to not be fun in the sense that are you smiling and giddy. They are like you said, an experience where you get immersed in the world. I imagine it probably is not fun, but depressing and hard. If they want a game where it doesn't take itself too seriously, their are games like Dead Island and Dead Rising.
But how do Souls games rate high then?
@@jeffperdue5106 they (sites like IGN/Gamespot etc) usually let the right people review Souls games as letting the wrong person write something up about it would be a disaster
I actually like days gone lol the more I play the more I like it. Yeah it's not perfect and yes it could have had more polish and better design elements to it. But it's enjoyable and not as bad as the reviews are making out. It makes me really look forward to what they could do with the sequel.
"GREG INTERRUPTS ANDREA!"
Should've of been the name of this video.
Greg is annoying as hell
I think you forgot how to enjoy video games to be honest
Greg is the absolute worst when it comes to that. He let his in-law ruin rdr2 for him and never went back. He likes when games r easy like ACO so he can play with one hand on the dual shock and another hand up his asshole.
Oh, shut up.
I think Bend Studios forgot they aren't Naughty Dog or Rockstar when making this game. Jk.
@@SadisticOtters I have an opinion, I should shut up, I see you like free speech dont you. Seeing how it triggers you when someone criticizes someone on a topic. Shut up , the phrase of the millenials, because having an opinion that opposes the popular one is bad and I should feel bad. Educate yourself
Sounds like Day's Gone's fault not Greg's
Greg loves AC Odyssey and then bashes Days Gone for overstaying its welcome. Go Figure.
darkraider7 it’s extremely hypocritical and ironic. I put over 150 hours into AC Odyssey still nowhere near done, and I’ve gotten so sick of it.
@@alextownley9388 whyn are you still playing it?
People have been trained by Division and Fortnite to only accept instant-gratification and dopamine loops in gameplay. When Greg said he was impatient with Red Dead and hated how slow it was, it blew me away. This isn’t a Greg problem. Gamers in general are becoming more impatient and narrowed in their taste.
For real. I love long single player games as long as they are interesting. Cant be like witcher and drag for 3 hours
To each their own. I agree with Greg about Red Dead 2. On the other hand, I loved Persona 5 even though it is super long and Greg will never finish it. lol
Perhaps, but it's just different strokes for different folks in the end. It's not like slow games suffer because of it. Games like RDR2, GoW, and TLoU all do very well - they don't need tons of skins and shiny unlockables to find an audience. So it doesn't really matter.
I know it’s a lot to ask but I think Kinda Funny needs correspondents for the games they don’t spend as much time with lol.
Part of the problem with MK11 is that fighting game players tend to “main” a specific character. So you could earn koins and go to the krypt and unlock a box but it’s randomly generated (vs previous MKs) and end up with something for characters other than the one you want. And certain items can only be unlocked in the krypt, forcing the grind.
What would. Be the fun In that. Then Tim Woudnt be able to pretend he is a expert and state all of his factually incorrect views.
myname forlyf - lol, give me an example of a “factually correct” opinion.
You are right about the correspondent thing...The Division 1, 2 and Destiny is a GREAT and AWESOME??? Really??? It is a look shoot game....what is JUST repetitive gameplay and TERRIBLE STORY!
@@henreebee6561 don't think I said the word opinion
myname forlyf - the initial post was talking about a specific complaint that Tim didn’t have a problem with, but most MK players do. He had plenty of other problems with the game, so the only thing thing the initial poster was criticizing Tim over was that he didn’t share the same OPINION as him or her about the random loot crates. That’s the viewpoint I’M talking about (which happens to be an opinion). Which “factually incorrect” viewpoint are YOU talking about in that initial post (which you say is not an opinion)?
I respect that your opinions differ from my own but you're being hypocritical. Anthem was ( I say was because after a week of doing the exact same thing in the game every mission I took it back)/is 100 times more repetitive and literally less rewarding than this game as you continue to get the exact same weapons over and over just at higher levels. Not to mention it had more bugs and problems than this and I remember a certain someone saying it was great and we should get it and wait for updates.
Bullshit!!!!
This game is great. I really don't know what you reviewers are on about. Thank God most gamers think for themselves because it's selling very well and is the best selling game of the year this far as well as a very high user rating.
Did they say Anthem was good?
@@RoaringTide Yes, the guy in this video that is constantly shitting on Days Gone said the he recommended getting Anthem at launch and to just wait because it was going to get better and better......... LoL.........
I died at "the credits get framey" hahaha
SAME, I thought Tim was going to crack and keel over laughing, but I guess after 40 minutes of hearing everything else he wasn't as surprised lol!
I know this is beating a dead horse, but go watch Colin's review of the game on his Side Quest channel, and you'll see where his input and approach are greatly missed at KF. He manages to give a level headed take on what is good and bad about the game, without coming across as spreading his cheeks to take a massive shit all over it. I love the KF content, but their "reviews" are one thing that I feel they swing and miss on frequently.
Colin is the best dude. And they complicated each other when they worked together there chemistry was great.
Again I have to echo most people I've spoken to who've had days gone despite the middling reviews.
I'm really enjoying this game! I understand that bar is set very high for Sony exclusives, but as much as this isn't a goty contender by any means, it's still a lot of fun and is the 1st game in years to keep me hooked until 4.30am!
Obviously it's personal preference at the end of the day, but I honestly think this game is quality!
If you're in to zombie/post apocalyptic media, this will be right up your street 👌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
It's your hard drive. Watch the Digital Foundry analysis
@@draft4168 Can you buy a brand new Hard drive? Expensive one? Thats the only way to solve it, you go and buy SSD and if you too poor you go buy SSHD, its HDD with small SSD inside that caches the latest game files to to load faster, so if you play the same game one time after another it will load fast but if you every time play different game, like day one this game, day two another game and day three back to first game, this wont help you.
Best way is to get 500GB SATA drive now, they so low you can get one ofr 60USD on amaozn, then get USB 3.0 2.5 inch SATA box its under 10$ and plug the SSD inside and connect it to your PS4 with USB, and youll have 500GB of super fast space to copy near TEN 50Gb games and if they smaller, maybe more, but for me i copy my 2-3 latest games that I play
Yes it’s very grindy to earn currency in MK11 but the micro transaction outrage is ridiculous because you can not use real world money to buy any of the currency that is used in the krypt.
You can buy the krystals that will allow you to buy whatever limited premiere skins are available at the time which refreshes every 24 hrs I think.
It was kind of frustrating listening to Tim. He clearly doesn't understand the structure of the game.
You are 100% right on that point, I didn’t understand the comparison with Tim and the spirits mode in that he hated playing through it but still finished it, if its not fun, why do it?
Thank you. I was baffled at what Tim was saying. There are like 5 items at a time available in the shop and there are so many in the game that they’re probably not the ones you want. If you go into the skins section it even tells you where they unlock (Krypt/Towers etc). Ridiculous outrage for no reason. I don’t agree with MTX as a practice, but those in MK11 are really not egregious at all.
Straight up feel bad for Bend. Hope they're still killing it with sales and can make another game after this.
They are check metacritic.

Andrea is infatuated with lootboxes and grindy loot systems in video games. She has shown in this video that she is willing to argue and fight for the need of endless monetization in current video game offerings.
Concerning Days Gone.... how come no one made these similar complaints about Red Dead 2 or the fact that the game's controls are awful. At least Days Gone has decent controls....
Lots of people complained about Red Dead's controls.
@@jackdaniel5229 people yes! Reviewers? Not so many.
Red Dead's controls aren't awful lol...
@@rafterman5072 they were straight up terrible, Rockstar always have bad controls.
Talking of games that don't respect your time and are a pain to play through. Lucky the story was so good in red dead that it made it worth it
Days Gone is a great game.
Blasphemy I know but I think Colin M nailed his review of Days Gone; fair, concise and valid. I watch KF now for Party Mode and films in review. My view on games and that of KF have drifted over the years. Keep up the good work on Party Mode and the films in review series!
Ever since Colin left KF has become more "entertainment" for me than a "trusted source" for information. They are funnier than ever, and more entertaining than ever, but they lost their intellectual guidance. Colin grounded them and brought knowledge and insight to the group. Now the kids have overtaken the school and locked all the teachers in the closet. Its fun to watch, but I'm not gaining much from it lol.
It's funny how almost all of Andrea and Greg's gameplay complaints about Days Gone sound exactly like everyone's complaints about Anthem's gameplay... And yet they pretty much downplayed people's criticisms of Anthem as "outrage".
So glad days gone sales are contradicting your poor judgment. People will never take you seriously if you keep licking EA and Ubisoft's boots but trash a complete product for having a few bugs.
Hopefully this is a sign that game journalists like you guys are on the way out in terms of relevance.
There are 8 hordes in the first area alone. Some are fairly small and definitely manageable early in the game.
Days gone is a really good game, not the same quality of recent PS4 exclusives but it's a good, solid single player game and that's all we can ask for as gamers, i'd give it an 8.0
Days gone has a 1.05 patch today which is 131mbs
*yesterday
Oh sweet Haha I did not play it yesterday at all as I watched endgame 👍
Assassin Creed Odyssey made by 1000 people, Days Gone made by 130 people lol not a fair comparison.
If both are 60 dollars then what difference does that make really?
I know dude... it's sad. All these smaller studios get snuffed out by critics and the main stream for "AAA BOHEMOTHS" And they get swept under the rug. I haven't played Days Gone, but alot of people said if you loved mad max youd like this. I think I'm gonna purchase days gone close to full price not only because I want to see what it's all about, but I also want to support this smaller studio because by the looks of it I really think I'll have way more fun with this than a AAA Game like Odyssey. I bought Odyssey for $20 and I almost feel it wasnt worth it... not to pick on it too much but Days Gine looks alot better in certain ways for me. Hopefully they will be successful enough to make a sequel.
@Sir_Death_Spank right?
Reviewers/youtubers like to say 'oh its not a bad game but its just not a good game' but keep on talking about the bad points and give no credits in so many ways.
Well its just like people saying 'oh you guys are youtuber/content creators? So whats your real job?'
Exactly, No worrys though. Its doing really well with the players.
That's strange, I fought a hoard early on. There's a Nero point on the top that has an early mission attached to it. You don't need to be powerful, you just need to lure them into explosives, which were everywhere....
It literally warns you to plan a route and escape plan..
He didn't play the game.
Also if you play the game without fast traveling too much and actually doing the blue question mark random events, you won't run into the issue where you don't have enough points and credits for camp purchases. I guess that's the consequence of rushing through a game to review it instead of taking the time to enjoy everything.
Additionally, Deacon sounds angry and curses a bunch because he was in a biker gang. His grit is way before this freaker outbreak and it only enhances in this world where he needs to survive. He is also deeply impacted that the Rippers are sadistic and targeting a little girl who reminds him of his wife's sister. It makes complete sense....
@@ericnick4498 yes he did. Stop lying 🐑
I also fought that hoard guess they kept dying and gave up
@@preyingocelotgames4397 Lmao Using my own schitick Thank you for proving my point. You really are gullible.
Greg doesnt like it. So i'll probably love it :D
Greg loves dumb games like patapon which his pure PUKE
All those live service games have Greg thinking that every game needs to have loot showers, or else it isn't "rewarding"
Yet he says the new God of War game is maybe his favorite game ever. He felt plenty rewarded playing that game with no loot showers. Like RDR 2 this game just isn’t for Greg. It happens.
Dude Fran's insane with his random ad libs.
Agreed. Love the guy but man let everyone else speak and maybe you will have your question answered. Fran you are a great addition and I know it's easier said then done but just let the others talk man.
Thoroughly enjoying Days Gone. I have no idea what they are talkin about with the hordes, I took down a horde of 70 already and I'm level 10 (maybe level 9 when I did it). I got a trophy and everything. But it was very difficulty and took me a few tries.
I'm sure someone else has broken this down, but the "outrage" over microtransactions in MK11 isn't overblown, it's just asinine because they don't really exist in any meaningful way.
As you play you earn a handful of different currencies, one of which is Soul Crystals, which you can opt to spend real-world money on. The game has a "Premium" shop consisting of five random items that rotate every day, but these five items are the ONLY thing you can buy with the Soul Crystals at any time. Everything else is unlocked via the other currencies in the Krypt or fighting through the Towers of Time.
They prefer games ridden with MT instead of an old fashioned single player title like days gone. I wonder how angry they will be when they find out Days Gone is selling well and everyone who played it are enjoying the game.
@@ericnick4498 don't choke on that grass 🐑
@@preyingocelotgames4397 Aww You keep trying😢 Those salty salty tears😂
FYI The MK11 issue isn't a micro-transaction ploy. It is more of a time grind thing. Im not sure what Tim is talking about. Even if you buy time crystals, it doesn't guarantee you to get koins/hearts/souls which is used to get chests. What you can buy are time crystals which you can use in the store where you can purchase 5 random skins/brutalities/etc that change every 24 hours. So no it isn't setup to make you purchase with real money since it's literally impossible to buy what you need. They have addressed the the grind issue to allow you to get more rewards from the ingame stuff.
Hopefully Greg's prediction from a few years ago won't come true with Sony bend being shut Down. Most people that don't like days gone. Don't like far cry.... It is litrslly the same type of game as far cry with the same level of cheesiness in its story and dialogue. And same method of quest lines with diff characters to really enjoy the game. The world is fun to explore and the horde moments give a genuine sense of anxiety. Is it up there with the rest of the first parties.... No. But its not bad to the point where you can't recommend it. That's ludacris. give Sony bend a break. It is thier first home console game since 2007 if you even want to count that... They will learn from this.
It was just announced this morning that Days Gone is the biggest physical release of the year, in the UK at least. Hopefully it's a good sign for Bend
Haha "give them a break"
Check the review scores on Metacritic. Doing much better then Dying light did which i may add reviewed poorly by the so called critics. Selling well as well. Its sad to see game journalists loser there way.
@@joshthompson7936 hopefully it does but I think Sony for better or worse are one of the few that expect both sale numbers and critcial acclaim from thier games.

@@alexanderchilton911 probs wrong wording. Of course critique thier game and point out flaws. But don't ignore positives or paint them as flaws and keep consistent in your views across other games. Don't pick and choose
"Ear upgrades." I laughed, Fran.
Days Gone is beautiful, atmospheric, and has so much to do that it will last a long time for the average gamer. I think they are tainted a little bit by needing to be "in the conversation" and blowing through the game as fast as possible. Getting a broken review copy doesn't help either. I'm playing now and haven't had any bugs yet
Me too, I don’t get Greg’s criticism on the game not being “rewarding.” Didn’t Greg like Anthem, AC: Odyssey, The Division 2 where your constantly getting loot. The game is rewarding asf and very addicting.
Spot on. Andrea says that she likes power fantasies. This game might just not be for her. Greg seems to always want instant gratification. The concept of the whole game is that the world is out to get you, and they really nail that. There are a lot of things to improve on for the sequel, but being weak compared to hundreds of enemies at once is the whole point.
Playing the game makes you really wary of approaching the hordes because your life depends on it, also you can't deal with them out in the open. When you finally get to take on the hordes you feel genuinely anxious. If the last one gets you, then you have to start again. You do grow gradually stronger and you have access to better weapons too because the camps trust you. That works really well. The fast travel is excellent, it takes petrol and you can only fast travel if you have cleared the path. Contrast with Watchdogs 2 that lets you fast travel anywhere in the map without even visiting it first or red dead that forces a tedious ride on you.
Days gone is #1 in UK sales beating Mk11 I wonder why🤔
It even has a higer user score then Dying light on metacritic. This is why i don't trust the so professional gamers.
@@ericnick4498 or maybe different gamers just have different tastes?

Andrea is such an apologist for NetherRealm Studios. You are allowed to give honest and constructive feedback about a product which was provided to you for free.
I've seen on Reddit and RUclips people giving one another tips on how to use AI to beat the AI for the Tower's of Time mode. It’s honestly such a dumb thing.
Nah for once she is right. Tim was the problem in that conversation, you can tell he doesn't even understand the systems and menus and he seems to think some things are microtransactions when they are not. She is 100% correct to call him confused. Dont get me wrong the game has issues, but they are different to what Tim seems to think they are.
She criticizes it as much as she lauds it. What's wrong with you?
You missed on the Days Gone Review... almost every part of it. It is too bad with 4 people on a panel, no one figured the game out to a level to get detailed about the intricacies involved. Also the camps make a ton of sense. Something made you sour... and yes everyone was nitpicky. Never mentioned blue ? exploration for trust once. Really?
I really love Days Gone. I think the game was given to critics too early, version I'm playing has little to no technical issues. The game got a 25 gig update the day before it officially released which I assume fixed alot of things.
I’m really digging the style in Days Gone, I loved Sons of Anarchy and the Walking Dead!
Complaining about them patching fast, is so wierd. I loved the game. Just completed it.
Colin Last Stand, Days Gone review is the best so far. Much more valid and relevant then the other reviews! I really recommend to check it out guys! ACG review is also good.
I’m really enjoying days gone. I’m about 20 hours in and I think it’s the best game I have played this year.
I dont think Tim understand the menus in MK11. The only time microtransactions (which there are actually very few of) are even shown is if you press R2 to get the store to pop up. Whatever he is seeing in the menus are not microtransactions, so I think Andrea is right when she says he is confused. He also doesn't seem to know what the microtransactions even are in this game, because you cant buy the things he says you can.
Didn't Kinda Funny give sony bend an award a couple years ago
I see most of the comments are not agreeing with these views of Days Gone. I dont agree as well. Someone said that Greg's views are pulling further from their own and that's how i feel as well. While i respect that we all have our own opinions I feel for me its time to say goodbye. I used to really enjoy listening to this podcast and felt really connected to this community. I do not feel like this anymore. If you enjoy this podcast great but for me I have to step away because instead of enjoying it I'm just frustrated and i don't like that if they dont like the game they make you feel like your wrong for liking it. Its sad to say goodbye especially since I have been here since beyond but i am done. Goodbye.
its just an opinion after all. i for one love it so far, sure it aint red dead, spiderman or god of war but it aint as bad as crackdown 3 for example
I like it too. But if God Of War is a 10, then I think it is fair to say Days Gone is like a 7. But Greg seems to think it is more like a 5.
@@alexanderchilton911 yeah for me its a 7 too. a 5 would be something like crackdown 3 or state of decay 2. lower than that is reserved for especially monumental disasters

People can like different things to different degrees. It is alright.
Really appreciate your guys feeling about Days Gone. The complaints about the game play loop honestly makes the game seem more appealing, hopefully they can fix the mechanical stuff, then I might be down to play this. Can't wait for the Borderlands stuff on wednesday!!
Alex King it’s appealing if you don’t have to rush like they have to because of reviews and stuff. If you take your time with the game you’ll be fine.
Trust me it’s a great game the patches have sorted all the complaints these guys had pre release
You know its a serious situation when during the review Greg has a "Beyond!" 1:22:13 moment but the situation is to serious to give it the full force!!
That was a very long Days Gone rant and a perfect example how different the reception ist between press metacritics and the actual players who seem to just like this game and have still fun with videogames.
I played 60 hours and enjoyed every minute, every progression towards the end game, because everything you do is rewarding and makes the skills, weapons and bike better.
Its also a very unique sony game with the dynamic weather and lighting effects and dynamic horde movements on the map. The sound effects are the best in a videogame i have ever experienced and the caves reminds me about the horror movie Descent with the same feeling.
I also can't ignore the fact that Bend Studio is a much smaller studio than Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games and Insomniac Games and Days Gone was the first big game for Bend since the PS1 and PS2 time and Bend Studio did a great job with so many dynamic systems implemented into this open world game corresponding to each other like no other Sony game did before.
I hope Sony will support Bend Studio more with more creative people working for this studio and a better bugfixing next time before the launch of the next game.
Damn, fran is boring and talk over others every time. I mss jared :'(
Marcos Vinicius Junqueira yeah even Jared did that but now I realize it wasn’t as annoying as I thought lol at least he always had something intelligent to add.
People are still so misinformed on MK11. There are skins and items in the game that you have to unlock through the towers or the Krypt. You cannot buy them with time crystals, the majority of items need to be earned. Just look in the menus, it will say, unlocked in tower/krypt. I think they need to adjust the amount it cost to unlock some of the soul chests and heart chest so it feels like less of a grind, but it is nowhere near as bad as people think.
Agreed and the RNG setup of the Krypt is bullshit too. I think they need to lower the costs and maybe up the earning a little, make a heart chest 150 and give 10 hears per finisher so 15 fights and you can open a chest is a bit more manageable. And make the Krypt a standard layout, if I only want stuff for Sub Zero let me go in with a list of chests and grind out my cost and get them. Not have me go in hoping this chest because of the cost has a skin in it and doubly hope its a Sub Zero skin, only to get a bunch of armor pieces for Jax and Johnny
Also the in game currency for mk11 bad as you get 1 heart per fatality or 2 for brutality...... you need 250 for a chest but you also can win hearts by getting a required score in towers but if your not good as games then the grind is bad. Plus the krypt is R&G so you don't even know what you unlock 😅 plus the story mode about 4 hours which was fine for me because it was a blast. The two reason this game is a grind because yes they want you to spend money on the light micro transactions currency and also extend the life of mk11 because of all the costumes. But I enjoy the costumes but it should not take this long to unlock it all. 25 character have 60 skins then 30 masks , 30 weapons and 30 other pieces of armour and it takes forever to unlock it all. They should of done what tekken 7 done with treasure mode and in game currency .
When you're in a bush and you look through your binoculars you are still hidden. How'd you get spotted 3 times?
THIS. She clearly wasn't actually behind cover. While yes your character "stands up" the game does that so you can actually fucking see instead of staring into a bush or wall. The zombies don't actually see you standing and you are fine.
My biggest problem with Days Gone is that none of the characters are likable. Literally the inky character I liked is Kouri, who you don't evet get to meet until the 3rd act of the game!! I actually quite enjoyed the gameplay, taking on a horde is so fun. But man I was expecting so much more from the narrative... I will say by far the best scene in the game is the 100% compilation secret ending so I am looking forward to a potential sequel and where it may lead narratively.
I'm glad that I said, "Forget what the majority of reviews say, this one looks good, I'm gettin' it!!" - Only 7-8 hours in, but lovin' it so far!! Good sign that when you're not playin', you're thinking about playin'!! 😊

Wasn't expecting to pick this game up. I had zero hype. Could not have cared less yesterday. After watching this and Colin's review this game sounds right up my alley. This review is really good and gives you a deep look into the game without spoiling anything. A lot of the complaints people have with it can be resolved by watching the whole review.
I really enjoyed his review too. It always seem like he puts a lot of care and time into his reviews to give the games an honest shake. I found that my interests align with his for the most part. I remember he recommended Mad Max at the time, so I tried it out and loved that game.
I just can't comprehend the argument of not enjoying open world games, each to their own though, but their great examples of game immersion, and losing yourself to a game. They do require a bit of extra mental capacity and patience but not that much.
Open world games can be very samey if you ask me. Definitely my favorite genre when it is good, but it can get tiresome and feel like busy work at times clearing camps, side quets, etc.
@@alexanderchilton911 You described every open world even the ones critically done well.
@@ericnick4498 Excactly my point. Every open world game share a lot of elements, hence why they for some people can get samey and tiresome.
@@alexanderchilton911 No, I mean you lack the bigger picture. Open world games are inherently flawed in it design. Lets forget that Video Games are always repetitive. Simple fact is Open World games are meant to be build with the world design in mind. Repetition tends to stem from the player and not the game itself. Does it play a role? Yes but it's not the major factor. People simply have different ways of playing and builds up in the experience you go through. Doesn't matter what Game developers do the repetition will never go away. So you should give the "I love open world games when its done well a break" because just like everything else, Its way more nuance then that.
In days gone i had a floating head but thats it, frame drops, load times, and takes a longtime to build trust up with camps are my only complaints. Games good and gets tense when there are a 100 freaks running at you. I dig days gone
Even though I don't like only one person has finished the game here, the fact none of you in the comments can accept ANOTHER individuals opinion other then your own is nuts. No wonder we have political divisiveness.
First off, Greg Miller has the bighead something fierce. I remember his early days as a prepubescent twirp at IGN but his passion for PlayStation and his self deprecating manner made him totally tolerable. 2019 Greg Miller refers to himself in the third person (did it about 5 times this video), interrupts his colleagues ad nauseum (watch Andrea's face around 1:14:30 when he railroads her out of nowhere just as she's making her point) and speaks obnoxiously louder than he did at IGN when it was his schtick.
Perhaps even more egregious than Miller's budding meglomania is Fran's idiotic comments throughout. From jumpstreet he is going to add his 2¢ to a game review after playing Days Gone for TWO HOURS. Throughout the review his ignorance re: the game is painfully obvious, interrupting the review in attempts to finish Greg or Andrea's sentences with complete misinformation. The interrupting is bad enough, though it's something all of these "journalists" do repeatedly, but it's the guessing & filling in the blanks with BS just to get airtime & be involved that's really cringey; at least the other dude who had only played for a few hours as well kept quiet.
This was part of a critical pile on that the gaming journalism community has executed on Sony Bend's Day's Gone. It's seems to be some kind of punishment for being a Sony Exclusive that didn't match their expectations & all the hype. So now they've decided to grade Days Gone on a curve...a roller coaster curve.
The public has overwhelmingly judged the game quite positively as sales have been huge AND consumer player reviews are positive. There are several open world games that are rated 7.5 or more on Metacritic released in the last 18 months that are just as repetitive as Day's Gone. That's the nature of these games. KindaFunny Games shit the bed on this review. You could of been the voice of reason and truly grade the game for what it is: a solid, good game that while far from perfect will resonate with fans of the open world genre and hopefully serve as a first course of Bend's new IP in the same way Watch Dogs did for Ubisoft. They made a good, not perfect game, and went back and fixed their mistakes and improved to make Watch Dogs 2 a much better game. I hope Day's Gone gets that chance in spite of over exaggerated nit-pick reviews like this one.
Do not listen to these clowns days gone is absolutely incredible and they clearly have an agenda against it but seriously it’s probably the best game to come out this year and if you are at all interested you have to pick it up you won’t be disappointed
How many times can Greg say “that thing of” in a single episode?
Not as many times as he says "ok cool". 😂
Near the end of Days Gone on launch PS4 and can relate to Greg’s experiences. Got a pivotal cutscene where dialogue and animations were unsynced without textures, substantial frame rate issues, broken checkpoints (enter an area where you have to interact with something and not being able to), audio dropouts, as well as broken ai, and teleporting enemies. I’m near the end game and I’m forcing my way through to see the story but so far it isn’t worth it with all of these issues
Appreciate hearing your thoughts on Days Gone. I feel like this is a game that I'll wait to get a patched a bit before playing. I know a gripe is talking about how you aren't able to unlock everything in the camps but is it strange I am all for that? I always think whats the point of having skill trees if you just end up getting everything in the end? Kind of a nice change of pace to really have to think about what you want to invest in. Guess we will see if that feeling sticks after playing it myself
LowC it’s pretty much sorted with the day one patch and now the patch that came yesterday from what I’ve played (45hrs ish total, amount 8 after patch) has fixed basically everything
Kid Goku that’s great to know, thanks!
Fran didn't get the shirt memo
From what i hear seems like days gone is a solid 7 out of 10. not an amazing game but a solid, slightly draggy game. But being a 3rd party sony exclusive made it disapointing since we've had such great exclusive games from sony over the past year. I just think that there should be a point where you say that this is how the game felt to you guys, where it comes off like you guys are making a definitive judgement.
