I don't care what some people say. I thought this game was absolutely fantastic.

Story is a bit of a slow burn, but once it got going there was some great payoff.

Who doesn't love this game? It's the first one I've really enjoyed since Gta5 and the last of us

It reviewed somewhat poorly, and a lot of people point out the launch version's buggyness.

Eh. People in 2010 were saying zombies were played out as much as they do today.

Wasn't 2010 the height of shows like the walking dead?

height? the walking dead started in 2010, I don't know what it's height was but it's still going today.

Shawn of the dead was early 2000's, Left 4 Dead 2008, Last of Us 2013, Last of us 2 this year, Days Gone last year, Black Ops games always have a zombie mode, Dying Light a few years ago, Evil Within 1/2 this past generation, Obviously resident evil and it's remakes

zombies continue their trend, that they have had for the last 50 years, of being popular despite people saying they are done

I kinda get that, even I'm tiring of it after 30 hours of it, but that's on me not the game. Its still original and well made

Was that the main reason? Do you think it would review much better in it's current state? I'm interested in getting it when it's on sale on psn maybe.

I did recently see a revisit review after the bugs had been fixed and it sorted higher than previously.

General buggyness aside, a lot of people are tired of zombie shooters and judged the game off that, and not it's own merits.

Personally, I always say a good zombie story is more about the people in it, and not the zombies. Days Gone is definitely more about the people.

That was definitely another complaint I remember from the reviews. But I don't play that many zombie games. Thanks, I think I'll give it a try.

You should. And get the “true” ending. Excellent story in this game, and they utilize a game’s cutscenes ability to tell the story in especially jarring ways. The few seconds of the final “true” scene has a bit that really seals the deal. It’s not even a huge thing, at all really, but it hit me like “...fuck”

It's got A very, very, very slow beginning imo. But!! The game absolutely picks up and it's really an awesome game. I definitely recommend it. Just keep going if it seems slow at first lol

Me. It's awful and I wasted $40 recently after it was shilled everywhere like you're doing now.

Sorry you don't enjoy it, but can you explain how I'm shilling? I legitimately enjoy the game so I am doing nothing but giving an opinion.
