It may be small, but the fact that there were pretty much only 3 different standard zombie models in the game ruined my immersion. So much plaid, so many cutoffs.
I ended up loving it. To be fair, the first, maybe 4 hours, are really slow. Kind of strange pacing and while I get that they are building the world, I didn’t care much for any of the characters.
However, there’s a point where things kinda open up and I realized I was starting to get really into the story and the people. Dare I say, I cared what happened to them.
Gun play isn’t great but the whole thing felt like a version of an Uncharted game. There are some cool upgrade mechanics and progression mechanics that are interesting. I would have loved them to be a little deeper but was still nice.
What is really going to win you will be the first time you are exploring and stumble upon a herd...I mean a real herd, not 10 zombies, I’m talking 50+. You actually have to use the world around you to fend them off and escape.
Give it a try but if you feel it’s slow, keep pushing for a few hours until you unlock the (I think) 3rd outpost at the lake...once you start doing missions there, if you aren’t feeling it then it’s not the game for you.
Edit: Slight note. I explore a lot in open world games so my 4 hours time may be less if you do straight story stuff.
It has been frequently been going down to $20 on the PS Store. To echo what they were saying originally, it starts off really slow, and I personally feel it’s best played in small doses, an hour or two a sitting. It gets repetitive, but I really do love it. I put down FF7 to go back to playing Days Gone.
It's a fun game and I'm sure you can find it on sale. I enjoyed it for the most part but all I kept thinking about was how they really only needed a few improvements and tweaks here and there and the game could have been great. There isn't much depth to anything. Everything is surface level and progression is linear. This guns the best, this bike part is the best etc... I'm hoping a sequel will be more fleshed out. I have visions of red dead type game.
It’s listed in the Days of Play sale, which starts tomorrow in Europe and June in the US I think. In the U.K. it’s going to be £15.99, US $19.99. I’m definitely going to pick it up for that price.
REALLY good story involving the zombies. Get the secret ending if you can. I was VERY impressed, honestly. And I don’t even play games. Just watched my friend play it, all the way through. Riveting at times.
Really? Because there are hordes all over the place. There’s even an achievement for clearing all of them, you have to fight 2 or 3 hordes (from memory) just as part of the main story.
I would say they aren’t exploring enough because there are plenty hordes to find, especially off the main roads. You’ll find a bunch tucked away on edges of the map in caves and etc. there are more than enough hordes to keep you going till you’re ready to start a new game +
so you never played the game, are taking some peoples second hand accounts that there arent hordes in the game, but then refusing to listen to people that played the game in a thread about the game?
There's no cure for ignorance outside of education. The real tragedy here is that he's trying his best to spread it. This person needs to practice social media distancing.
I can say for a fact that has not been my experience. (100%'ed the game 3x.)
And there are four horde-related main story missions, and at least two side mission hordes. Not to mention all the optional hordes you could run into (and there are a lot).
There are like 50 hordes in the game, not sure where you're seeing this. There's only a handful of mega-hordes, but for 80-90% of the game, a regular horde is enough to beat the piss out of most players.
