5/10 is a score that implies it's a decent game.

If you say the game is decent, then 5 is probably a right score.

Then again, it's all opinion. The more reason we need demos for all games, because most reviews are bollocks.

I’m not reading any of the replies as many will consist of people never playing the game yet put in their 2 cents.

I’m many many hours in and I’ve only come across minor bug....mostly collision detection stuff.

The gun mechanics try and mimic real life they’re not bad. An AK-47 is an automatic RIFLE. You don’t hold down the trigger bc the kickback and recoil make the aiming ridiculous. Burst fire. Notice when you shoot something they stagger. That’s the mechanic for you to burst, stagger, re-aim and burst again.

Little things like people eho don’t like you at one camp will warm up to you once you’ve done errands for the camp and gain trust.

The character arch and overall story for Deacon is very well done. He’s lost it but barely holding it together. He kill happy with freaks and the bad humans but has a code...he will not shoot unarmed women.

And contrary to the Lamespot review...Deacon’s acts and passed, within since the shit went down, is constantly brought up, comes back to haunt him and is held accountable many times for current events as well as past ones.

Game is a solid 8...maybe even a 9. There’s constantly something to do. Once you get rid of all the currrent missions....more pop up within a minute.

And what a fine view it is seeing cows scramble to justify Days Gone, a 5 is a 5 unless its a Sony exclusive LOL.

Tbh other than the story looking really shitty, I like The Last of Us enough as a game, and it's not like I look at Days Gone as having wildly different gameplay from TLOU or Tomb Raider or Unchartedish where it isn't all the same type of gameplay that gets gassed up. Now mind you I think Last of Us is considerably better than the other 2 name drops here, but that's not exactly conveyed well in anything written about the game.

And I don't have enough fucks given about video game stories, to think it's okay to dismiss gameplay that you once gassed up as good to really good, to all of a sudden act like it can't carry a more suspect story given you know, it's a fucking interactive medium.

Nah. It's a PoS overpriced coma inducing pile of turd. WWZ is much better and it's only $40. Hell, L4D2 is 10 years old and that blows it out of the water. And you can get that for under $10.

@jasonofa36: the American grading system is basically how we look at things. 70%’s are average...not 50%’s.

Any American based site or magazine or whatever that changes that is just trying to be unique. The mole on my wife’s nose with hair growing out of it and is the size of a small warehouse building is unique. It ain’t always so special.

5/10 is a bad game.

Fucks sake FO76 got something like that.It would have to only be a non gaming feminist that reviews this game as badly as that utter and complete garbage.

@that_old_guy: Who cares about the American grading system? It's a freaking score on a website. If tools wanna believe what they want, they have the right to get hurt by a mere score.

EDIT: Plus, not all of GS or other websites readers are American, so that is a pretty lame excuse for why 5 is considered bad, not mediocre.

With the fact you have a sore arse over the score GS gave it, but I bet you comeback and say you're not but your posts in this thread prove otherwise.

Again, it got a 5 so deal with it.

@jasonofa36: Gamespot is on the American web. No intergrants are allowed on the American web.

So my point still stands.

But good on you for pointing out that not everyone that uses Gamespot is American bc it’s clearly the dumbest statement and proves you a bafoon considering the previous knowledge.

We are not on most places we are on GS, so its GS score that counts, and you can make all the excuses you want but it got a 5 deal with it.

I'd say it's probably an average game. Not especially good, not really bad. Just generic and quite boring. Good for those who haven't already played a lot of other better zombie games and aren't tired of cinematic 3rd person shooters and overused open world activities yet, I guess.

I personally stay away from games like this. Days Gone looks like a game trying to ape other similar games and does it ok. A very unecessary addition to the gaming world.

More damage control I see......it has 36 mixed reviews on Metacritic and according to many posters here who had hated on Xbox games like Quantum Break & Sunset Overdrive, which had higher scores, those games were trash but guess what Days Gone is an exception because some posters need to let us know that in this case, the reviews got it wrong. Ok

Lol yeah... I brought up this point in another thread. It's funny how the reviews are wrong about Days Gone, but games like Quantum Break or Sea of Thieves etc, are 100% spot on.

Anyway if people are enjoying it, good for them.

It all comes down to personal taste, and I feel like some games are geared towards certain reviewers/people.

I've seen mixed reception on Days Gone, and games like Sunset Over drive. I would love for Overdrive to be on PS4, to me it looks like my kind of game.

I'm on the fence about days gone, I've watched multiple reviews and gameplay vids and it looks like my kind of game, but I think I'm gonna wait until the game is $30. Hopefully by then it'll have some patches to fix it a little more as well.

I will definitely get it down the line. I wont get it at full price, the game looks decent and it's a PS4 exclusive. What the reviews say only help me decide on whether I get it at launch or I wait for a PSN sale. The game will pick up, I just hope the developer doesnt let it die and not patch it up or add extra stuff to the game. It deserves that at least.

good to see reviews don't matter if it's a PS4 game and you need to justify your purchase.. but Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and more were trash no matter how much people enjoyed those games and disagreed with the Gamepot scores...

gotcha..

in all seriousness, I agree that the enjoyment of a game is up to the individual.. and a Gamespot reviewer is exactly that, an individual.. an individual that may or may not represent the majority of other gamers, including you and your own personal tastes.. let's just see if you keep that same attitude at the next Xbox game that gets the usual 6/10 on this site yet has millions of active monthly players that disagree..

I mean the game flopped here. As usual we will have fanboys defend it cause it’s on their platform of choice.

There is no angle from me as i'm on GS so i'm using their score to laugh at you.

The only angle is coming from you as you wish to use "other scores" as your angle, and if you wish to use these other scores than go on their websites forums and use them all you want.

The only trolling is coming from you, well that and "other scores" damage control LMFAO.

So you've resorted to insults again which is you're got to when you can't win a debate, and yet you ask how old I am lol.

Go to PlayStation Lifestyle or PlayStation Official Magazine's forums and celebrate the 9's they gave it LOL.
