90% of the time, I love Sony first party.
But Days Gone to me was a 5 or 6 out of 10.
-I think personally it went on WAY too long.
-The gun play feels like shit
-I was hoping for more survival aspects, but there wasn't that much except for running out of gas.
-None of the characters really grabbed me. Maybe its because I generally dont like biker culture with the leather vests and the skull and crossbones on everything.
I really did enjoy the Horde missions. Those can be really fun.
At the end of the day, I would have preffered a Syphon filter reboot. In my ideal world, they would drop this series and start on Syphon instead.
I know thats not gonna happen though.
So I hope days 2 blows me away on the PS5.

We can't expect much from TLOUS2 fans.

Days Gonevand TLOU 2 aren't going for the same thing. They're different types of games. Both are really good.

..............You're an idiot, i like both but truth be told Days Gone is better story wise not because of TLOUP2 twist or ending but because there's hope and way better characterization, character design and hope in DG which make it easier to play and replay.

Sadly, you're wrong. Days Gone not only was buggy and incomplete at launch, but it also was a 2013 open world game releasing in 2019. From the combat animations, cut and paste mission design, dialogue, voice acting, world setup, shooting mechanics, all in all an embarrassment for Sony Studios in 2019 which was an off-year for them as a whole.
Days Gone writer and director both leave Sony Bend Studio
Bend Studio loses two developers
Perhaps sony was even so unhappy about it and that's why they cleaned house at bend and have them working on a new ip.

Days Gone sold well so a sequel is probable.
Edit: Still a shit game tho

I always wonder about the thought process that occurs when certain people get so upset and complain about stuff that doesn't affect their lives in any meaningful way.

except i scored DG a 7\10 (with the score that can flactuate between an 8 and a 6 based on how much you like open worlds, zombies, sons of anarchy stuff etc.), you can search my old posts about it.
I just find the comparison funny, they are very different games and production values and story\characters are clearly on days gone side so i can't even understand what you were saying.
Yes melee combat and shooting are nothing exceptional in days gone, but they are on the same level if not worse in SOD2, i played both games a lot and they are both acceptable\good games, nothing more, i prefer days gone but it's just a bias of mine because i love sons of anarchy stuff and the actor who made the protagonist.

I kinda hated Days Gone, but comparing it to TLOU 2 is downright idiotic
Open world game made by B tier developer vs linear game made by one of the best studios in the industry
The worst part was saying that State of Decay is better. That shit is unpolished as all hell, laughable animations, made with a small budget and it shows.

I'm not joking, I prefer Knack 2 (not the first one) over any Mario I've played, and I played Mario Galaxy, Odyssey, etc.
I understand that Mario games are better but I had a lot more of fun with Knack 2.

How’s that? I played the first one and it was fine, but was Knack 2 a huge improvement?

Loved TLOU2, best game I've played in years, currently playing Days Gone and credit where credit is due, Sony Bend turned in a great fucking game but let's not kid ourselves TLOU2 is in a different league to pretty much all videogames so this is a shit comparison but Days Gone has some excellent mechanics, fantastic bike riding around a huge crazily detailed open world, likeable characters and a decent enough storyline, definate 8/10 game for me

For me the improvement was immense. First game was ok but second one is really fun. They eliminated some things that irritated me from the first one and polished all other aspects.
When I played it I thought it was made taking in account all the criticism people (as me) did for the first one.

Days Gone was a great experience. Hope the studio delivers a second game and gets more support from Sony.
I expected just another zombie game but got what is the closest game avaliable to imagine how could be a TLOU open world experience. Yep it has its flaws and the story needs some improvement but Bend did a great job. Its not a survival game is a combat adventure game with sone RPG elements. Combat is fine and the main attraction are the hordes. The first time you fight one is when the game becones unique vs other zombie ones.
The game is slow at the begining , so access to the best combat options takes time so maybe some people gets frustrated or bored ...think you shold get earlier access to the weapon but specially bombs options...
The game is great , not TLOU 2 level but liked more its story. Its a lost jewel of the PS4 library. If someone has a PS5 the new look and 60 fps are pure gold...game looks superb on a PS5 also for an open world game you find little or almost none glitches and zombies A.I. is pretty good.

The last of us 2 is a good game as long as you ignore the (READ: *IMO) terrible story, horrendous pacing, and the questionable writing. The graphics, lighting, atmosphere, and gameplay were good. Snow and Water effects were legit.
*The above opinions are simply that, and do not represent me calling my view "fact." Please put out your torches and put away your pitchforks.
As to Days Gone, I wish I had pre ordered so I could have that fuel tank upgrade at the start. I waste so much fuel even though I glide without the throttle when going down hill.

I gave up on the video when they showed Deacon riding at 2mph and swinging side to side.

I just couldn't get into Days Gone. I held out waiting for it to go on deep discount, and then got it for free with the PS+ Collection. Got about 7 hours in and the flow of the game just did not work for me. Definitely did not care about the characters at all. Say what you will about TLoU2, but even if you HATED Abby, you felt something.
I am very much not a fan of collecting random trash for quick crafting garbage in either game.

Disagree. Days Gone is the new standard all open worlds should be held too. RDR2 did well with the dynamic world it set but Days Gone took it to the next level. Gun mechanics and general gameplay were obviously an easy beat too but that goes without saying really.

reviews doesn't mean shit, CP2077 fiasco ring any bells? most media wanted to hate DG from the moment it was announced because "just another zombie game and white protagonist", i remember the stupid bitch from gamespot bashing the game because the zombies were all white fucking lol
Days Gone is 80-85 in my books
edit1: op has shit taste confirmed

Days Gone is a better game than the Last of Us 2.
It's a much more campy story similar to Uncharted 1 through 3, which I always like better than things that are super serious.
It also has the best dynamic weather I've seen in a game. I mean you can get thunder snow! Come on!
But Last of Us 2 is awesome from a rendering and animation standpoint. It's fun to play just to look at even if you don't enjoy the story.
Plus the gameplay itself is fun and very gory.

Yep regarding open world performance DG is pretty solid. Yep it has its moments of crazy wildlife behavior specially with the deers bit are very rare. Instead while riding you find wild animals fighting vs zombies when they see each other and is very well implemented compared to other games like AC Odyssey..
Weather dimamic is great specially when you have rain or snow storms. A nice touch is while raining + tunders zombies hear you less so you can approach to them more and not be detected, the storm covers your sound.
As an Open Worls game glitches are scarce , animal and humans A.I. is fine , zombies A.I is good and so much better with hordes. If you compare just on the Open World performance the game is better than fallout 4-76 Cyberbug. And is on par with RDR2 or Odyssey...
