Is Days Gone as bad as the critics say? Or is it as good as the fans say? I did not play this game, but I have a boyfriend who did, so it's about time some guy's girlfriend inserts herself into the conversation and makes everyone even more upset about Days Gone.

One thing that drove me crazy was when the radio would beep and someone on the other end would be like, "Deacon? You there?"
And instead of TELLING ME WHAT THEY WANT, Deacon would be like, "Yeah. You probably have a job for me, huh?"
Then I'd have to drive all the way to the other side of the map, wasting time and fuel, to be given the mission. Why couldn't they just tell me over the radio and let me go straight to the mission site so I didn't have to make two stops?
Because it makes too much sense.
That wasn't the worst part of the radio for me, it was the points where you'd clear most of the missions, and as you're going to the last mission you would get 4 calls in a row to post new jobs one after the other, sometimes by the same person, it was ridiculous.
Good point…… I never thought about that.
But being a damn errand boy is a staple of all open world games.

I really enjoyed Days Gone on PS4. I played it early last year. I didn't have any bugs (at least that I remember) in my playthrough. Before playing Days Gone I had played The Last of Us a few months prior. The Last of Us turned out to be my favorite game ever. Days Gone did not hit the same level as The Last of Us, but I did really enjoy the game.

It’s actually one of my favorite games. I love leveling up my bike, riding in the Oregon wilderness, and the stealth is fun. Days Gone manages to scare me like no other game has. It may not get a technical high score, but for what I’m looking for, it’s perfect.
I even had a therapeutic experience. The sheer open range, sense of loneliness and unexpected second half. Girlfriend was pregnant back in 2020 and I became unemployed so I sought something out there in Oregon, which I found. Platinum of course.
I’m surprised about this! One of the few games I finished to completion. But mainly because someone told me that the second half of the game is “like an entirely different game” - which was a straight up lie. I was hoping the game would turn into a settlement builder or something with your own camp.
@Evanz111 even though chances of a sequel happening are still slim rn, this is legitimately one of my big hopes for said sequel. Or at least having elements of a settlement builder introduced.
wouldve ruined the game
Can we get Shelby to narrate old western books in her old man voice? Imagine her reading Blood Meridian like this lmao
Any of those Louis L'Amour novels would be excellent as well.
Thanks, I wanted to pick that one up again and now I'll have her voice stuck with me while reading it.
Not quite sure how that'll affect my impression of the judge.
So funny thing about the oft-derided wedding scene: That's apparently a standard wedding vow in biker culture.
Reality itself is cringe a lot of the time.
TBH it's not so cringy. Everything seems cringy from outside of a subculture. I'm sure every single game wedding and game reference in a wedding seems cringy to non-gamers.
Why am I not surprised?
Dude, tiktok exists, nothing is more cringe than reality
Yeah, I actually found it one of the less cringey moments seeing as they referenced it in a previous flashback. I’ll take that over Deacon yelling at the radio in between waypoints any day.
@@Ralathar44 as a gamer, gamer weddings are extremely cringey.

I don't know if it's just because of the PC port or what the issue is.

@@marcushankins8171 If someone says they bought it on sale and were happy they did, then they likely don't share that opinion.
Honestly, really fair review. Personally I loved the game but I think that was largely due to playing through on the hardest difficulty. It made me use the mechanics a lot more. There definitely were some more repetitive parts but because deacon and I saw the zombies as the same threat level, it made it a lot easier to connect with him as a character. I will note that I had no idea of the drama around the reviews for the game I til after I played it. Again though, really good review. I can totally see why the game isn't for everyone, but a little part of me is still sad that the cancelled the sequel (although really...it probably would've kinda sucked comparatively)
I doubt the sequel would have sucked, you’re thinking about movies. Video game sequels usually refine the gameplay and add new features. They could have made days gone 2 such an awesome game
Yup playing this game on hard or higher difficulty is more immersive.. especially at the beginning when you have not much skills or firepower to take more than a few head on..
I must have been the only 1 that enjoyed Days Gone, I bought a standard PS4 + The Last Of Us Remasterd + Days Gone at the start of the pandemic and enjoyed every second (Days Gone does get repetitive)
I’ve never seen Shelby this unhinged.... I love it!!
Ah yes, the door - way... I'll see myself out, don't worry, I'm capable of finding the door :>
Same thing happened to me when I played Days Gone. It's like the game was intentionally constructed to drive people mad, and those who persevered might actually have Stockholm Syndrome.
The It’s Always Sunny reference had me dying lmao
It was Mulaney insert that killed me.
8:24 that was actually recorded dialogue?! Jesus Christ 🤣
Without context it sounds weird but I played the game and before they got married Sarah asks what Deacon would say at their wedding and he said those words and she told him not to say it cuz it's weird, but she ends up saying it just as a joke.
I unironically liked Days Gone, it was a fun ride. The story was good and I had a lot of fun taking out hordes, it did exactly what a game needed to do, kill time and entertain me
I thought it was an amazing game
I feel somewhat similarly the story and it’s characters were kinda irrelevant but the lore about the zombies established in the game is very deep and quite unique the bike and killing hordes were the only fun parts about the game , the stealth missions are pretty frustrating and even though I’m not a person who cares about graphics much but some shots looked kinda shit and the open world was very repetitive and not that good to explore but the one excellent thing about the open world is the zombie hordes and the fact that this game has one of the most dangerous worlds.

@@gallifrox6099 true. But im not complaining hahaha.
Shelby: (this ain't even my final form yet 😈)
Hey my favorite part is when you go to to a rock! But that was because I cleared out the area and went to the stone for the cutscene, and when it cut back to Deacon talking about his dead wife or something, all the zombies respawned, and they were attacking him but he had cutscene protection. So he should of been giving exposition, but the zombies caused him to stop talking and he just stood there with cutscene protection for a couple of mins.
This may be the most brutal review I have ever seen. Well done!
That John Mulaney clip was perfectly placed and made me laugh out loud
It's pure gold.
Yeah that got me.
You guys should really do Firewatch at some point. Wicked short, but some incredible storytelling. Great for a backseat gamer
I loved that game, absolutely LOVED it. Now if Valve would let them finish their second game...that would be really appreciated
Great idea! Do it
And What remains of Edith Finish as well
They already played Firewatch so I don't know how much of a fun review it would be.
Great game
i got it a couple of months ago so i avoided most of the bugs. my only real problem was when the game decided to turn cars into these GTA1 blobs or a cutscene didn't render Boozers tattoo head. though i imagine when i replay on PS5 i won't have those issues.
i saw it was a PS exclusive and went eh maybe. THEN i saw it had Sam Witwer as the M.C and got it right away. i started watching TWD so i could have something to break up the driving around boredom. by the time i completed the game and destroyed the hordes and unlocked the "secret Ending" i was about halfway through Episode 7............of Season 5!
i DID enjoy the game. sure it had its problems but i honestly liked that we weren't some hero character. we were just some guy trying to survive and find our wife.
wait... i played days gone like 2 months ago and i have not encountered any silly glitches/bugs... (aside from the horde sometimes not spawning in their caves).
was this video recorded on release date? or they played a physical copy of the game unupdated?
My biggest problem is the fact that the game use fades to black every 2 minutes.
Somebody said it!!!!!?
or some missions when u need to go across the map just to listen 2 lines of dialogue
Yeah, compared to other Sony studio productions where there is near seamless transitions, that just really showed the lack of polish.
@@kelvinr2507 i think it was cuz of how the game was written as if it was a novel instead of an actual game
@@qahsper That kind of ironic, because if they cut this technique out it will be more immersive and less being a "game" for me. Fade to black reminds me of the early 2010's video game.

I've played Days Gone on my PS4 Pro and had a great time.
I found it very atmospheric, and the hordes are genuinely frightening, even when you fight them at daylight.
I come back to this review every so often just to hear Shelbeh say "funny beepis" and "beempises". Also, for that roast of DaysGone24ever, lol. That bit at the start makes any day better.
"...Only if you promise to ride me as much as you ride your motorcycle"... 😂😂😂 Who wrote this dialogue? A 16 year old?
I think Days Gone is poorly written but in context that line is not so bad. The characters themselves make fun of it. Apparently it is some traditional biker wedding vow. I heard it in Sons of Anarchy too so maybe it's a thing.
@@MatiZ815 Traditional or not it's still cheesy.
@@MatiZ815 In France, there's a tradition among "motards" (bikers) where the guy ask to his future wife "Will you ride me as much as you ride your bike?". I find it funny that native english speaker make it the other way around, that it's the man who's considered riding his wife.
@@KrieGor27 Depends on a position I suppose.
@@ds2k15 yeah its the most taken out of context line in the entire game, im guessing youve not played it?
never saw all this bugs on days gone, the game starts really slow, at the start of the game i hated deacon, but i liked him by the end
Exactly how I felt. I ran into a couple minor ones but nothing bad at all
i had 0 bugs when i played it lol idk where all these ppl have these bugs from
Man, Shelby was unleashed this video 🤣
Days Gone actually happens to be one of my most favorite games lol. It gets hella good. It just takes too long to get good. But once it did, I couldn’t stop playing.
I very much agree with you on my second play through the start isn't the best to replay but I'm looking forward to getting past it to the good stuff
"Alarmingly incoherent" is my new favorite phrase

nevermind.
It's pretty amazing how a channel that explicitly is dedicated to a kind of weird gimmick that often shifts their perspective in unusual ways still manages to get across more nuanced and insightful commentary than many more traditional critics. Add to that the fact that the videos are extremely well-made in every way, always entertaining and never too long, and it's no wonder it blew up almost instantly.
very much enjoyed this video! and thanks for the dedication 😊
I absolutely loved Days Gone. The motorbike was great, and I really enjoyed leveling it up. The massive hordes scared me, and it was thrilling to destroy a horde through a combination of traps.
Or better yet, lead a horde into an enemy camp and let them destroy each other!
And the music set pieces were brilliant, like when the country music song just plays when you drive along with a near dead Boozer on the back of the bike.
Those moments spoke to me.
And to many others. For others it seemed those moments meant nothing or were cheesy.
I’m not sure why it appealed so much to me and my friends, but it did.
I agree, a lot of days gone was actually quite fun to explore for me, but im a explorer at heart in video games, so i never really have problems with open world games like this, my expectations is that im going to spend hours anyways finding every secret, every upgrade, do every little thing, that i actually found the pacing quite enjoyable since, when i was done with my exploring i just so happened to be right next to my next main quest.
This was pretty much my experience with the game too. I just rented it from Gamefly and ended up playing it for about a month.
Judging by the steam review you had the majority opinion here and shelby and other reviewers/influencers have a fairly weird off the wall take.
Days Gone was a weird one for me cause I went in with very low expectations after getting it for Xmas after pretty much skipping it at release due to what I'd heard about the bugs, and wound up loving it. By some apparent luck I never had any bugs (or at least nothing particularly noticeable) and other than a few obvious issues (Deacon shouting the whole way through regardless of the noise level around him) had a great time
It sounds like they went into the game wanting to force it to be a thrill ride and action packed zombie shooter and instead they got a fairly down to earth wholesome story. It's really weird to watch this video and then watch their Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk reviews. Their standards are not consistent and all over the place. Downright hypocritical at times. Honestly I bet if the main character of Days Gone was a woman with her wife with some more LGBTQ+ instead of a straight dood acting pretty normal most reviews would be praising it for it's heartfelt story. And that feels weird to even say, but that just feels like where are now. You make a walking simulator like Gone Home and you get praised by critics and influencers. You make a game like Days Gone and you get shit on. But if you look at the actual player reviews for Days Gone on Steam they are quite positive and completely out of step with critic reviews.
@@Ralathar44 Dude your tripping lol

i can, the gameplay was incredibly fun and riding the motorcycle felt really good. game was so good i finished in in only a few days. the horde stuff was incredibly fun, it was like a puzzle, i finished all of them. im baffled by the hate this amazing game gets.
Every time I see your videos I smile. Even when you hate a game, it still makes me laugh.

Hmmm I played this game to completion too, but never saw any major bugs. Especially not random clipping issues like you two saw. I'm also ADHD as hell, and found the game to be a lot of fun and interesting. Cringe worthy writing aside, the actual gameplay was pretty engaging imho. And I was honestly surprised at how long the main campaign was, and how huge the overall map ended up being.

Yes.

i didn't finish it but did enjoy what time i spent playing it. at the same time, like you i completely understand their point of view here lol
I enjoyed it. I actually bought it cos I watched my bf playing it and thought it looked fun. Destroying hordes of zombies is super satisfying. I would probably play it a second time as well!

I’m only 6 hours in and so far the melee combat feels weighty and fun, the guns are typical and exactly what I’d expect from a 3rd person shooter, the variation of enemies and missions are refreshing, the world looks beautiful, and the bike is fun. I find that the game also rewards ADHD/the desire to loot everything in sight.
I find the gameplay actually exceeds the last of us (part 1 anyways) and the story might not be as good as TLOU P1, but it’s certainly better than TLOU P2
Days Gone probably deserved a 6.5 at launch, but it's still one of my favorite games. It also taught me not to put much stock in game reviews. We all have different opinions and that's OK.
True, its actually one of my favorites too, i just like the open world and the " normal" world of zombie apocalypse, i think its written great and also the gameplay is amazing imo, not every game should have a crazy story plots or something, it could be just like that and still be great.
Game reviews and influencers often have an agenda or strong personal biases. Just look how hard this channel defended Cyberpunk and The Last of Us 2 but shits on Days Gone. Now look how different that is from actual steam reviews from players.
@Ralathar44 good point. It's really weird for me how biased this channel could be at times, but I view this as entertainment only
Man, I platinumed this game and this entire review makes complete sense but the only thing I disagree with is the level of bugs. I had maybe 4-5 bugs throughout the entire playthrough.
Everything else she was critical on makes sense and even though I would love a Days Gone 2. It makes sense why it wouldn't happen.
I literally didn’t have a single bug on my ps4 play through lol
Just because you didn't have bugs, doesn't mean others didn't
I mean we played a free game that already had its bug fixes after its 60 dollar lunch day and I be down to see a sequel for that cliffhanger ending but hey 🤷🏼♂️maybe all y’all feel differently
I fell off after not too many hours with it, and not just with this game but in general it's almost like they magically force games to have bugs. Obviously just because I don't have them no one else does, but like in this case it's just almost unbelievable how many they seem to have had.
Ya, that about sums up my thoughts too. The game is rather scattered in its focus, but I kind of like it’s pacing. Despite being a “desperate survival of the apocalypse” setting, I found it to be rather relaxing.
Me watching the gameplay trailer: Wow! That horde mechanic looks awesome!
Me playing the game: Hey! The horde mechanic IS pretty awesome
Bend Studios: There are only three mandatory horde encounters in the game and the rest can be avoided very easily. Also the guy who directed the voice actors was on crack.
I do like that they added the various game modes outside of the campaign post-launch so you can just fight hordes with end game weapons immediately.
The hordes are the shizzle.
If you liked the horde mechanic then why would you try to avoid them?
@@MrJagermeister really?? I have the Game in PS4 , never played , but if i can jump straight into horde modes i would play it tonight!
@@IvaN-cf7qt You can, it is actually pretty great because the first horde encounter that is playable in the post launch added mode is pretty great. The shitty part is that they add different challenges that are mandatory to beat them, for example a time limit on the horde mission i mentioned.
What an amazing video. Thank you so much for making it.
I want a Days Gone sequel. Not because the first game was good as a whole, but because there was elements of fantastic game design and some good ideas that could have been taken and fleshed out in a sequel. A sequel could also have all the bad things that people hate about the first game eliminated in their entirely and replaced with something much better, Like removing the lack of pacing, and replace it with, y'know, pacing.
This is why I want an Andromeda sequel. So much good separated by a lot of "huh?"
I agree.I liked this game. Did it have problems, yes. A sequel would give the developers a chance to fix those problems. A sequel was set up perfectly and I would love to see this story continued but unfortunately it's not going to happen.☹️
I actually enjoyed Days Gone, but i can still agree with the points made here & it was funny, thank you both.
I finished the game, and my best assessment of it was "I don't hate it." It wasn't great, but decent enough not to annoy me, and I mean that in the best way.
I would hate to restart over and over, because the graphics would go down or It would glitch. Needless to say I got the platinum trophy
I enjoyed it too and loved the “secret” ending.
On PS4 it ran great but I only played it a few months ago so it had many patches.
The smash cut to the don cheadle “happy pride month” made me spit my drink out.
🤣
Shelby is a frequent r/gamingcirclejerk User it seems
Don Cheadle is eternal
I never even had glitches :o... this is completely news to me!!
tried to play it.
it was when he was going to chase a helicopter that I realized that I wouldn't be able to continue.
he screamed his dialogue and I was standing still. I guess the devs meant for me to go full throttle on the bike but I was just sitting on the bike.
after he stopped screaming I started the chase and the chase was so short.
why didn't they just make a cutscene?
"Okay, now that I've fixed everything and everyone" 😂😂😂
"Singlehandedly"!
I really appreciate you calling him "Starkiller Base" haha
I don't understand the joke though
@@Taima Sam Witwer played Starkiller in the Force Unleashed games.
@@gigatronusprime ahh, ty.
@@Taima No problem!
I unironically enjoyed Days Gone...
But only after a while - at first I hated the characters and thought how stupid the setup is:
Like " let`s just combine two things that were super successful a while ago! Like, what have we got?
Walking dead and Sons of Anarchy were successful, right?
Let`s just put assholes on bikes in a zombie apocalypse, it`ll sell like crazy."
But the atmosphere of rural Oregon is actually great, the characters have the social skills of a pinapple and do stupid shit all the time, but they DO work in a cheesy way and become kinda relatable after awhile.
and the game is the right kind of challenging for me and horde battles are a thing you don`t get in other games this way.
(also, I seem to have been lucky when it comes to bugs).
All in all I`d totallykinda recommend the game forpeople who like open world third person action shooters with stealth sections.
Then again, I played 90% of it while ill and on painkillers, so basically take that with a grain of salt.
Man, people apparently had a way different experience with this game than I did. I really enjoyed the game based exclusively on gameplay, the story needed a lot of work though.
The gameplay was just repedative and boring.
I haven't played this game, but I sympathize with that perspective. Looking at the gameplay and reviews this feels like one of those games where it's just more fun go around and get into trouble, than actually do any of the story/quests. The thing is some games are really good at capitalizing on that, and make the gameplay good enough to carry the game alone without any coherent story (think just cause or saints row) but this game doesn't seem like it does enough different gameplay wise either... Maybe if you are really into zombie games, and hey I get it, to me, shooting zombies never gets old, maybe then it would be worth a look.
4:06 Giving Keanu a "breathtaking" beempus was hilarious. Loved this video showing even more of Shelby's amazing range as a comedic actor, Matt's sweet cuts (and even animation at 5:20?), and the teamwork by the two of them.
When it comes to controversial games, I can always count on Girlfriend Reviews
I'm an xbox guy, but I'm actually so upset this game isn't getting a sequel.
The writing wasn't the best, and there were bugs, but I enjoyed this game way more than most other games I played atthe time
Is there a chance you guys could do a girlfriend review for the Metro series game? I think you guys will truly enjoy it.
I was locked in my home for weeks on end duri the pandemic, was given Days Gone for free TWICE, and I still haven’t managed to get through more than a couple hours of it. 10/10
Exactly what I was gonna say. I played this during covid, locked at home and raining outside. It was like a metaphor that even In darkest of times life and world can be beautiful. Overdramatic content hungry world won't get it. Loved this game. Decon talking to himself and not giving up was one of the best thing as a character.
Yup, same! 12 hours I played this free game and I still want my money back.
I’ve missed a bad game review, you’ve seemed to loved most the games you’ve played lately and I love it when you go crazy in a game. Funny AF! 😂❤️
hilarious review!
But you're clearly wrong: the game had only one flaw. It was too short.
Loved the Pepe Sylvia/pacing analogy! Hilarious and spot on
The one game where I feel like the girl in the thumbnail is disgusted for a good reason
🤣🤣🤣 one of the best reviewers. I’m having a lot of fun with this game on PC (mods included) - the game is plagued with inconsistencies and problems but I’ve got high hopes for the dev team to build something much better
What's the song at 8:00 at the "last one there is a.."? Love these videos BTW
That wedding scene clip made me want to eat glass
