I'm not trying to hate on Days Gone or anything. Just showing how much better TLOU2 is.

That said, Days Gone might be a fun time if you like playing bad games.

Edit 1: I'm just realizing how bad this post is. Sorry.

Edit 2: Days Gone still trash tho

 

[halopower67]

No harm no foul i guess but i don't really get these types of comparisons. Maybe if it was a much more in depth technical analysis of how rendering is happening might be more interesting but just visually comparing both with no analysis seems kinda useless?

Can we get a Knack 2 vs Super Mario Bros comparison?

I just wanted to highlight how horrible Days Gone is compared to quite possibly the best game of all time(TLOU2)

A 300 man game is bested by a 20 man State of Decay 2. Bend is bleeding Sony dry.

Undead Labs has over 100 employees now and still growing. Can't wait to see SOD3 and how it destroys Days Gone.

 

[Aion002]

Such a silly comparison, Days Gone is sooo good.

I can't wait for a sequel. Sure TLU2 has a more refined gameplay, but DG hordes are extremely fun to battle and exploring the world on a motorcycle is quite good.


Also, comparing an open world game with a linear one is unreasonable.

 

[VN1X]

is TLOU2 60fps on PS5 or?

lol jesus

Some random Days Gone hater shit going down here.

Isn't State of Decay more of a strategy game? Like I played the game at PAX IIRC.. aren't you building a team, and like building out a base?

And I don't know why you think the video you linked makes Days Gone look "horrible."

Well, it didn't take long.

Do you guys unironically think days gone is good or "uNdErRAtEd"?

I'm so confused by this thread, lol.

I thought they were saying Days Gone outdid TLoU 2. Then that State of Decay 2 post just completely lost me.

I like State of Decay 1 and 2, looking forward to 3. But I dont think one could even compare State of Decay to Days Gone except for the zombies.

The crazy part.....Days Gone doesnt even look bad in this video. I could see it more as a dig at TLoU 2.

 

[scalman]

hmm sure compare full open world game vs full on linear game, what could go wrong ?

 

[Boss Mog]

Yep the defense force is on its way.

i thought SoD2 looked like a PS3 game with PS2 production values.

Days Gone is an AAA game through and through. Visuals, gameplay, scale and story is all top notch. I dont understand the comparison at all.

Also, Sony Bend peaked at 100 employees. TLOU2 had over 300 full time employees and over 1500 outsourced contractors.

 

[driqe]

Before you guys think Im some rogue days gone hater, I completed the game on hard difficulty.

Days Gone doesn't have any redeeming qualities. It doesn't have a fun gameplay loop like State of Decay or cinematic value like TLOU2.

Pick your struggle Bend.

You are a PlayStation fanboy. Thus devaluing your opinion even further.

Need I say more?

I thought the video was about the visuals. No idea why you think State of Decay 2 is on par with Days Gone.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

I was guessing he is talking sarcastically? Days Gone is quite buggy (and it was way more so at release) but is an extremely impressive game, graphically. SoD kinda look like crap...

300 people with a blank check vs 20 people with a small budget ( pre-acquisition ) and the only thing I can say that is objectively better in days gone are the graphics.

Shame.

 

[Mabdia]

One probability have the best graphics in this generation. The other is the best post apocalyptic exclusive of this generation.

So where's your source that they had an unlimited budget?

Should I ask an admin to vet that information?

 

[Woggleman]

I like TLOU2 a bit more but both are great games.

 

[driqe]

Nah state of decay 1 had a bigger budget than days gone

 

[driqe]

Both of these statements are about The Last Of Us Part 2.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Nah state of decay 1 had a bigger budget than days gone

Where are you getting this information?

 

[Classicrockfan]

Thank god for the ignore feature bye horrible wrong topic.

 

[Andodalf]

A linear game with Baked Lighting looks better than the Open World Game? Shocking.

 

[Mabdia]

Both of these statements are about The Last Of Us Part 2.

If you think that and that makes you happy. Feel free to believe in whatever you want.

I'll just say that The Last of Us shouldn't have a part 2. It should have ended in the first one.

Meanwhile, just can't wait to play DG2.

[driqe]

Where are you getting this information?

Days Gone has a bigger budget than SoD. Do you need an admin to tell you that?

 

[Nezzeroth]

Pretty sure Days Gone was a much cheaper game compared to TLOU2. It also came out before. Dumb comparison.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Days Gone has a bigger budget than SoD. Do you need an admin to tell you that?

No but you said it had an unlimited budget. Do you have a source for that?

 

[mejin]

Useless comparison.

Anyway, if you have a PS5 I recommend Days Gone to play. The game is running damn great.

 

[driqe]

No but you said it had an unlimited budget. Do you have a source for that?

Just an educated assumption.

 

[Coherenthy]

I enjoyed both games. Days Gone might not have the best story I prefer it much more than TLOU2's.

Graphics wise, they are both fantastic. Though I don't think comparing an open-world game to a linear one is fair.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Just an educated assumption.

I can agree with the budget being bigger but an unlimited budget seems unlikely to me.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

300 people with a blank check vs 20 people with a small budget ( pre-acquisition ) and the only thing I can say that is objectively better in days gone are the graphics.

Shame.

Bend studio is around 130 people. Graphics and production values are pretty much the only thing that you can assess objectively, so...

 

[Prison Mike]

What a completley fucking pointless thread.

 

[Astorian]

TLoU II puts the majority of games to shame so I’m not sure what’s the point of this comparison, anyways I’ll leave by saying Days Gone is a turd and I really hope Sony and Bend aren’t doing a second one.

 

[mckmas8808]

It's the worse type of comparison. Both are doing something good in their own right.

 

[Clear]

What a completley fucking pointless thread.

Nah, its good in a "point and gawk at" sort of way. And no, I'm not talking about Days Gone, its about how much wrong the OP can bundle together and double down upon repeatedly!

DG is great, especially given the size of the team compared to the scope of the project.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

I can't wait for a sequel. Sure TLU2 has a more refined gameplay, but DG hordes are extremely fun to battle and exploring the world on a motorcycle is quite good.


Also, comparing an open world game with a linear one is unreasonable.

I saw Days Gone gameplay with the hordes and figured it would be boring just doing that over and over as I prefer survival games with individual zombies. I do own it though so I'll have to give it a shot.

 

[FranXico]

That said, Days Gone might be a fun time if you like playing bad games.

If that's what you're into, there's always Gamepass or PSNow.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Mod of War can we have a title update since the OP added IGNs Days Gone review?

To be honest I don't know what this thread is supposed to be anymore.

 

[HellforLeather]

Days Gone is a legit good game. No irony needed. Yes it suffers from open world bloat and its overly long but I would rather play Days Gone than any of the AC games

 

[Aion002]

I saw Days Gone gameplay with the hordes and figured it would be boring just doing that over and over as I prefer survival games with individual zombies. I do own it though so I'll have to give it a shot.

You don't actually do that over and over, each horde can be handled different and there are a lot of individual zombies and special zombies that adds layers to the game. Also, the human enemies are fun to battle, specially because the monsters are attracted to the gun sounds, so there's always 3rd partying battles, that can be quite interesting and unique.

You really should give it a try, I was also quite sceptical about Days Gone, so much that I only bought it after a sale for 14 usd... Initially I thought that it was only a lower budget TLU open world wannabe... But damn my assumptions were wrong, I enjoyed so much that I even got the plat and I plan to finish it again as soon as I get a Ps5.

The game resonated so much with me, from the characters to the story and the gameplay. I really like TLU2, but my favorite "zombie" game of the gen is Days Gone.

I can see why it's not for everyone, it has some issues, but I honestly believe that anyone that likes the themes of the game should try it out...

 

[Mitsuda Maniac]

Days Gone looks pretty awesome dynamic 4k 60 FPS on my PS5. Is TLoU2 ever going to get updated?
