This is a 40 hour game that feels like it should be 20 hours. I feel like a lot of missions are just bland or repeats.

Just finished getting my Plat for this game. Was fun enough to grind through the post-game. Plus the hordes are just WAY too much fun. But the fantastic horde-killing machine gun that you get for killing 80% of the hordes comes exceedingly late.

I hadn't noticed this game had its own thread, so I'll throw in my two cents: this game is aggressively okay. The middle third rises to just shy of interesting as it deals with its ripper storyline, which makes the next third feel kind of tacked on and strangely impersonal. "Days Gone" is fun enough to spend some money on, I've certainly spent money on worse. But good lord the flashback scenes are all atrociously bad. This would have been a much better game under the eye of a very harsh editor.

Yeah it does drag a little, I'd have probably taken out some of the random "Some rear end in a top hat stole our poo poo, go kill him and his buddies" stuff you keep getting from Tuck or Copeland. And christ is hunting down Crier nests a huge pain in the rear end. The story sure isn't amazing though I don't hate it, but I am really weirded out by Deek's absolute refusal to ever tell anyone, like... anything. I get he's meant to be a gruff biker and all, and some of the stuff when you get to the later game makes sense because he's obviously unsure of potential friends and enemies, but why he was so utterly insistent on never telling anyone at all that Boozer got injured was weird as hell. I don't think Copeland's going to like... execute you because Boozer's hurt. Empress Brosephine posted:I’m really enjoying this game. I mean yeah it’s nothing amazing but it’s fun and meaty. Deacons line delivery is hilariously awful and disjointed but the gameplay is fun. People should check this out if they want a game to play. Huh, I actually feel the voice acting is pretty much universally excellent, they just don't have the most amazing material to work with.

If you beat the game it's worth continuing for a while, even you don't plan to kill all the hordes. There are a few more meetings with characters which tidy up a few loose ends and also pave the way for a sequel. And even though the main story has finished and the world is just open for you to explore however you like, it seems really bizarre that Sarah and Boozer have just completely vanished and are nowhere to be found. A good game, a huge, scenic open world and some genuinely tense moments, especially when you can hear a horde nearby. The (thankfully few) bike chases can suck a box of cocks though.

Finally got the plat for this game and while I could finish off the rest of the hordes, I think I am pretty sick of playing. The voice acting was fine other than the hilarious angry voice that Deek constantly has while stealthing camps. *Sneaks along and kills someone* "HOW YOU LIKE THAT YOU BUNCH OF RAPISTS AND MURDERERS, IM GOING TO MURDER ALL OF YOU LIKE THE MURDERING SONS OF BITCHES YOU ARE!!!" *Sneaks along some more*

blackguy32 posted:*Sneaks along and kills someone* Sneaking around when a Radio Free Oregon broadcast has just finished is much the same. With a better directed story and a month or two more of polish and I feel like this could have been a hit. The core gameplay activities are fun, hordes are exciting and some of the storyline missions are genuinely tense experiences. It's such a pity the story is mostly terrible and a lot of the bugs weren't squashed by release. It just feels like a missed opportunity.

I don't think Copeland's going to like... execute you because Boozer's hurt. Seriously. That entire subplot could have been solved by him just going to any of the camps and asking for help. Nothing about it makes any sense. His motivations for everything are rarely clear or logical. Like, the girl he's obsessed with helping. There's a throwaway line in a quest description about how she reminds him of his wifes sister or something but he still just comes off as hung up on her for no apparent reason I'm a few hours into the second map and my thoughts so far are. -Gameplay is a lot of fun. It's good as an open world zombie game. I'm starting to run into a lot more hordes and those are always fun and a bit harrowing since I don't have anything to wreck them with yet. -Visually it's really nice but doesn't hit the highs of some of the best looking open world games. Still, few complaints there. I love the weather effects -sound design is fantastic. That came as a surprise. -Story is somewhere between mediocre and bad. Agreed the flashback stuff is awful. deacons relationship with his (probably not) dead wife is completely uninteresting. -Oh my god, Deacons St. John shut the gently caress up! You talk 1000% too much just shut up for 5 seconds! -Some quests are fun but there's definitely way too many busy work "kill 5 guys" quests that aren't worth the time. Leveling up camps feels like a grind. I;d like half as many of those missions and twice as much trust points. In general the progression just moves too slow. Also, what is the deal with the blue question mark missions? They disappear so fast I can't even get to 75% of them before they are gone. If I'm on foot it's always a bust it seems.

Game was fun, but I stand by the fact that once you have played about a third of the game, you have basically seen all of the variety that the game has to offer with the exception of hordes. And even then, once you do the storyline ones, you have seen pretty much the biggest hordes there are in the game.

If nothing else I'm yet to run into the other zombie types and I have to be over 1/3rd in. No idea if they are cool or not though.blackguy32 posted:*Sneaks along and kills someone* This poo poo has literally made me lol a few times. There's one where you go to the camp with the crashed helicopters and he goes off for like a minute straight and by the end I was just losing my poo poo. Someone even came on the radio and he was still just going off like "HRRRRRR HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU FREAKER MOTHERFUCKERS AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO MY FRIENDS I"M GONNA TAKE EVERY LAST ONE OF...." and every time I thought it was over he was like "HRRRRRR MOTHERFU..."all over again

If you beat it, then you may as well go for the platinum, because it is an extremely easy plat. My best advice is to always pick up items off of dead people even if you don't have room. There is a trophy tied to that and it can be a bit harder to do when you reach the end of the game.

They get stunned if you set them on fire, they don't handle corners or fences as well as you do, and you can use one of the residue bolts to turn them against any and all other enemies in the area. There's also an upgrade which lets you stealth-attack them for a one-hit kill, which also unlocks the trophy for killing a heavy with a knife. Breakers are a big resource sink, but they aren't that big of a deal by the mid-game.

Ok. So there is a Nero research site in the northwest corner of the map, half way between hot springs and Sarah’s memorial and when I go there, there is absolutely nothing there. Is it underground or something? I’ve wasted like 20 minutes trying to figure this out.

yeah I stumbled in there at night by coincidence and quickly realized that I had lucked out that nothing was in there. Tbh I don't think I'd have ever found the entrance to that cave if I didn't look it up.

So I just rode across the map to get boozers bike back for him, leaving my bike at the fire watch tower in the process, and when I got back Rikki tells me she paid some guys to get my bike back for me and it’s in the camp... I can’t help but feel there was a better solution to this problem.

The way Deek mutters and how he sounds very much reminds me of a parody of Solid Snake and it's kinda great I actually like the story and characters more than I thought I would But holy poo poo gently caress the Right wing radio station guy. As far as I've heard he's not even satire, it's just like they put an unironically Rush Limbaugh in the game for...???

Oh yeah, him calling Copeland out is great, or when you hit skip and he just goes "shut the gently caress up" lol I also found it amusing that after one of the first missions I got like 6 calls in a row from Boozer and him with new missions or random updates I'm pretty sure boozer is just popping oxy all day

Was clearing out an infestation zone last night and was looting the top floor of a building when a horde wandered by. I was lucky enough that none of then wandered into the building. Was a pretty tense 5 minutes of hiding. I am still early game and have been just clearing ambush camps and infestation zones, so running across hordes is still pants making GBS threads. It is a nice tense moment.
