Kallie & GS while I respect its your "personal" take on rating this game I feel it was over the top harsh. A while ago I was in a Gaming Convention here in Europe and there was a discussion about reviews of different games by different critics and how it varies from reviewer to another and when I mentioned GAMESPOT I lost almost all people in the discussion either never heard of GS or not a highly rated critic source, I can see why.

Kallie's review is very immature, she tries very hard to prove a point but always falls short in convincing her audience - into the second part of the review you can clearly notice she's searching very hard to come up with any negative thing to say about the game and concludes with same points she has already mentioned and taken against it, however, when talking about any positives it was confined to mere seconds and she was on the edge of her seat to jump back slashing the game. It feels almost a premeditated, deliberate attempt and Kallie came prepared with her sledge hammer.

I have been gaming for over 30 years (yes I was hooked in the 80s and never looked back) went through pretty much all sort of Gaming Paltform existed, attended 100s of conventions around the world. Listening to Kallie's review basically she has set up a perfect game parameters, probably a more story driven, maybe with an Asian flair....... dare I say a JRPG maybe.. And all games are measured up to this perfect picture, she was talking and had something or a game in mind that days gone was constantly compared to. As apparently a professional critic this is very unprofessional and deceiving. Our love to a certain things shouldn't prevent us from seeing more beautiful things.

The Game is not perfect but far, really far from this review which is unprofessional, deceiving and actually misleading at times (you can start upgrading your bike very early on in the game) (you can start acquiring decent weapons fairly early) (you can go places where hordes hang around about a third into the game) (you can totally connect with story and characters right from the first 10-20 minutes and all the way till the end of the game as the story progresses fairly well and it has this Sony signature drama galore) and more stuff Kallie mentioned that put that "really" smile on my face.

To other Gamers out there;

The game is not the last of us, its not uncharted, HZD nor does it try to be and I am grateful for that. Its good to very good in its own right, the Gameplay is very smooth, the story is good, upgrade and character development is a lot of fun specially the bike upgrades - Stealth is excellent if you like sneaking around, fighting Freakers in their different forms throughout the stages of the game is satisfying and rewarding. The game borrows certain aspects from a lot of other games but in the end it forms its own identity. Play it and ignore GS/Kallie's nonsense.

Please GAMESPOT treat this with your upmost seriousness and urgency.

As a long and loyal member of your internet site and other social media featuring GAMESPOT it is important for all of us to point out room for improvement whenever its obvious to make GAMESPOT better and the message it sends out most impacting among the gaming outlets/world.

Days Gone is one of the most anticipated titles of the year and a long awaited post apocalyptic action adventure with Sony's drama twists trademark making a pleasant experience. Surely it doesn't deserve to be destroyed in such deceiving, inaccurate and above all misleading article. Please entrust its review to a more mature and experienced person preferably with no loyalty to any brand or company.

I hope you take this message with grace as I sincerely enjoy your site as much as I enjoy games and would love to see GAMESPOT a leading critic house in its own right.

Regards

@lostn: They are in the top 3 TV manufacturers in market share world wide, 3rd in Camera performance and sales world wide behind Canon and Nikon - leading by a big margin in console market - one of the Market leader in music - Pictures - other home appliances among others. Just saying. they were hit pretty bad with the influx of cheaper Chinese and Korean Manufacturers but managed to remain competitive and now re-gaining grounds.

8K is massive - BWC, not sure, Sony tried before and not many signed up probably due to Sony's regular new releases of v good new IPs. All in all good news with improving loading sequences and sound engineering - Too early to speak cost but my bet is on 500 USD/ 500 EUR.

Guess people would have been a bit more forgiving if it wasn't released at premium price. Critics were completely justified to destroy it - just a shiny skin with nothing inside. Feel sorry for Rare.

@gfantini:

We are different on the topic of merchandising and how appealing could a company make a product tailor suited to maximum audience/market possible. You know whats bigger than a third ? --- the remaining 2 thirds this is where your risk as google and/or MS will be because someone else will just swoop in and eat that gap (gaming/console market sales these other companies already dominating).

I am based in Europe, maybe the situation now is different but a mate of mine toured Brazil back in 2014 for the soccer world cup behind his country from Sao Paulo to Rio to Porto Alegre to Belo Horizonte etc and I quote him "Internet/normal internet connection is like a unicorn in a lot of these places in Brazil :)" I hope its better now for you guys or maybe it was because of the sheer volume of people at the time trying to connect.

We are also different on the topic of how a giant company can build castles in the clouds where for now we're still on earth, it will come for sure however, you just to have understand your audience better now or someone else will understand them.
