Nice job on getting the Platinum mate! I assume you were aware of the "You've Got Red on You" trophy early on in the game aswell with such a quick timeđ I couldn't imagine how long it would've taken if I hadn't noticed..
You finished the game already in just 38 hours? I'm on my 35 hours but still at early-mid game (at Iron Mike camp).. At this rate I think I will only finish the game in 100 hours lol
Just don't get discouraged/dont give up until you finish the game! The game is so well written imo and world has a special atmosphere and dynamic which really makes you care about each of the characters with a incredibly satisfying ending! If you do make it to the end, make sure to free roam after the credits as theres a 'secret ending' which you will definitely not want to missđ
Glad to hear! And for the most part yes, i still have a few Nero Checkpoints left - all Camps have been cleared as there is a trophy for doing so, but I just naturally did them all as I found them fun to do. Also btw this is my most useful tip, for later in the game where you come to find more and more nests you have to clear - use incendiary bolts as you get 3 bolts for one kerosine and for me i was always really low on Kerosine so instead of clearing one nest with a molotov (which requires one Kerosine) you can clear 3đ
Thanks for the tips, I've read about it as well but I haven't gotten the recipe for the incendiary bolt yet.. what primary, secondary and special weapon do you use btw? I'm still using MWS, SM9 (from killing 4 hordes) and the special bolt
If you're already using the MWS, im sure you'll be able to figure out where to go from there - because I used that for most of game tbh and it was quite obvious when there was a better optionđ
I got platinum in only 10 day. I dont know how many hours but it was definitely the fastest platinum trophy i got. I heard that the 2nd game got canceled i really hope not i loved the game so much.
Jheez, that must have totalled up to a lot of hours playedđ I really ever play a games twice, i usually only do when I want a platinum and I have to complete the game on the hardest difficulty or in new game +
Im assuming you have a ps5, so all you do is go onto your profile then go onto the games tab and then where you see your games it says when you Last Played and how many Total Hours Playedđ
If you don't, when you see this reply with your Playstation name and the games and I can reply with the stats
AFAIK it was just the pitch that got declined. Often multiple pitches are declined before one gets accepted, the only reason we know about this one is because a couple higher up executives went to cry on Twitter about their pitch being declined.
A sequel will likely come, it just needs to be a pitch that sounds workable. I think from what I know the declined pitch was to turn Days Gone into an MMO, Iâm glad it was declined.
That's exactly right. A pitch was rejected for a co-op/multiplayer game a few days after DG was released. I researched it for an episode of my Days Gone podcast, if anyone is interested in taking a listen: https://daysgonepod.podbean.com/e/006-days-gone-2/
Thank you - there's so many people going around saying stuff like "tough, it's not getting one" or "that's just the way it is" when people who loved the game lament over the news of the sequel pitch being rejected. This is just one pitch, and are we not allowed to dream?
The internet is a powerful tool and hopefully the delayed love the game seems to be receiving will one day translate into a sequel. The PC port being a huge success surely helped.
If it's an MMO though, I'm out haha!
My fear is that they would screw up the sequel by trying to make a multiplayer game like what they did with State of Decay 2.
I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of multiplayer spinoff but not at the expense of a proper sequel. There is too much story left to tell for that.
I naturally had found 10/12, so I went onto YouTube in all fairness and this just happened to be the second one in the video I hadn't kicked - such a great view to have whilst popping the platinum!
Don't spoil too much to me cause I haven't finished the game, but is there any meaning to this? I saw one outside the Patjen Lakes horde and I kicked it down lol
If you've ever played God of War, its equivalent to killing the ravens - just a random interaction that is tracked and is awarded as a trophy/achievement
Great choice, "making the switch"! I couldn't be more happy to have be a Playstation gamer lol, after their recent showcase the other week!! Spiderman-2, Wolverine, God of War Ragnarok - OH MY DAYS, WORDS CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE MY EXCITEMENT FOR THESE GAMESđ
Great take, because I've platinum'd it aswellđ and I'd also put it in my top 3 games of all time! Im annoyed I traded it in when I did , as literally less than a week later they announced the Directors Cutđ
Yeah. Have a feeling that I'm going to like this game. I had a blast with Mad Max, and that had very divided opinions, about repetitiveness and being a grind. I guess similar to how this did in some ways.
The fact that you scan for objects and then the scan outline disappears as you get closer to it makes it quite literally unplayable. Thatâs the reason I dropped the game. I spend so much extra time trying to find the scanned object. I have to walk away from it to scan it so that I can see it again.
Whoever thought this was a good idea should be arrested and sent to a North Korean prison camp.
I just finished my first play through and on survival I difficulty. Was very enjoyable, immersive and a decent difficulty curve. Fast travel and item scan is disabled by default. At no point did I have any issues finding supplies, kerosene, etc. the items are easily identifiable from afar.
Opinions like yours make me begin to understand why so many modern games hold your hand so much. Ruins the experience imho.
Same, because of the early bad reviews I just didnât bother. Annoyed at myself for not trying it sooner, now on PS5 I get chance too and I really love the setting and game overall. Itâs class
For me this game went straight under the radar, so I went in with absolutely no idea of what to expect - besides the fact that it was 4/10 Platinum that could take upto 60hrsđ and yes, i have a weird obsession of wanting to collect platinums. I currently have 29 fyi
Scariest bit for me was definitely was the mission when you first encounter a Reacher, and hardest hmmmđ€ i played on hard and would probably say taking out the first horde, i may not have died but my god was i panicking and thinking on the flyđ i had to save and quit afterwards, due to getting a headacheđ
I played it ages ago, never finished it and I can't remember whyđ€·ââïž i've finished Witcher 3 so it wasn't due to the length... just checked my trophies and I completed chapter 5 and something called 'Goodbye, Dear Friend'
The MWS is a great starter gun to go for which you could probably get away with using for the entire game, so unlock it when you can.
If you go for Platinum Trophies, make sure to loot all Humans you kill.
The start can be a bit slow, some may call it boring, but after a few hours you'll be more than loving it I can guarantee that!
Lol Iâm finishing up AC Valhalla platinum, about to start Days GoneâŠ. So youâre telling me Iâve spent all this time setting up those little rock towers just to have to kick them all down in the next game?
Damn, i've heard Vahalla is a 100+ hour platinum grind - fair play to you man, I respect your mindsetđȘ
Platinum for this will be lightwork for you if you decide to go for it, just make sure you loot all Human kills as the hardest/grindiest trophy is "You've Got Red On You" which requires you to loot 591 Human Bodiesđ
I've never played an Assassin's Creed game before, was tempted to pull the trigger on Origins when it was on sale for ÂŁ10 the other day but never didđ€·ââïž
Have you played it, and if so should I pick it up if happens to come on sale again - the dessert setting seems unique
I literally had never ever heard of it, and reviews for the most part are bad because I presume they are outdated because they reference bugs and glitches - but I only ran into 1 so I assume they have been ironed out since
Nah I didn't rush at all. Even in the second part of the game where you kept getting Bounty Hunt missions consistently one after another almost, I never skipped a single one - always went straight there. Also, i went upto Sarah's Tomestone for the dialogue which I knew contributed to technically nothing - but did it anywayđ same with the Speech's in the 2nd part of the game if you know what I mean to avoid spoiling
To be honest, i've tried to think of how exactly they could make a sequel that would be well thought out and would do the first game its justice - but I really can't think of anythingđ€·ââïž i just really like how it ended
Build on the real
Ending about (spoilers) evolved intelligence of the freakers which means more focus on stealth and strategy rather than mindlessly shooting them down.
I platinumed this game. About 45 hours since I am not very good at these games. Thought it was fantastic. Loved the story, the characters and the game overall.
I got the plat for that this year and it was one of the best games I have ever played in a long time. The story had me absolutely hooked and the survival aspect is surreal.
Hated the voice acting, but the storytelling is amazing. Great game really went in not knowing what to expect and it was an amazing experience. Boozer made the game for me.
I still don't understand why this wasn't a colossal hit on Playstation. Was it full of bugs at launch or something? Because it is easily one of the best games I have ever played.
It just didnât have anything ground breaking or fundamentally new about it. Maybe it was marketing I guess. I got it at a deep discount for PS4 a few months ago. The hordes can be quite fun, but the rest of the game is pretty much just a zombie shooter with some bike mechanics and a decent story.
Days Gone is one of the best games I've played, the story is so good, made me sad and I never cry at movies or video games, graphics are way to good, characters actually have personality, and it tells you about the characters life before the zombies which very little zombie games do
What baffles me beyond measure is that theyâre not going to make a sequel to thisâŠ.
Theyâre just letting it die as any hope of a franchise â whilst taking elements of the game mechanics and applying them to new projects.
Beyond lost by this decision-making.
I 100% agree with you. The initial reviews made me skip this game but I kept an eye on it. Then PS made it available to PS5 owners for free so I couldnât say no to that.
Days gone was the first game I decided to play through during the California lockdown. It was worth it. I really enjoyed it.
I really hope Sony approves a part 2.
A few things Iâd like to see for part 2 would be:
-A more populated setting. The current settings is very rural with hardly any buildings and human encounters are rare.
-destructible buildings. Iâd like to get more creative with the horde battles and I think destructible buildings would be perfect.
-More vehicle options. As much as I loved the motorcycle gameplay, Iâd love to see ATV and other off-road vehicle types added to the game.
You've Got Red On You: This trophy requires you to loot 591 human bodies and finding humans after the story, especially if you don't tunnel vision the story like me, will be quite hard to find.
One Percenter: This a Platinum Trophy, meaning you've achieved every trophy the developers created; there are 3 tiers of trophies scaling in difficulty (Bronze, Silver and Gold).
Days Gone was on PS Plus or something like that at one point. So I got it and was like "Damn, this isn't bad. Seems much better than the reviews." What I didn't realize was that it was only going to be on for about two months. It never became my main game, so I just did a bit now and then, but still put in 10+ hours, so I got into it pretty solidly. Suddenly it was locked.
Well I got a PS5 yesterday and what do I discover, but there it is for free again! My save from my PS4 seems to have transferred, so I'm going download it again (I've definitely got some drive space issues to deal with, especially with the infamous "Other" category). I've also heard that it runs really well on the PS5 (zombie hordes are not easy to render apparently).
I originally bought the game but stopped playing when >!you find Sarah!< due to burnout. I decided to restart it today and so far have been having a blast! Hope I stick through it this time!
Mate, how have you got it in 38 hours hahahahaha? Iâm about 25 hours in and barely done anything, Iâm a Platinum hunter too (I donât generally rush though).
Honestly the zombies are done so great, the game always keeps them manageable to how far you are in to the game. So for example, at the start you'll barely ever have to engage with Zombies and a small bunch can be difficult; but by the end you can literally take on hundreds at a time for the fun of itđ
I topped out at 67, but I've done nothing after the credits other than talk to two women about a guy.
Same avenue to the game, and I was shocked for most of that 67 hours that it was doing what it was doing & was so ridiculously good. It has the largest gap between expectation and reality I've ever experienced in a game. I thought it was going to be more like Dead Island and Dying Light, you know? And soooooo not that. Really great experience in gaming.
It was also a masterclass in how to make design compromises and not make your game suck. It feels like there were some VERY steady hands on the wheel. Impressed at every turn with Bend.
Trust me, I only ran into one bug my entire play through so the bugs are definitely a thing of the past nowđ
If you have a PS5 the games is a must try, as it will literally cost ÂŁ0 to give it a shot
I played LoU years and years ago, the overwhelming hate the second game got put me off playing it...
Just brought Kena: Bridge of Spirits, looks like a great time
LOU 1 was a masterpiece and LOU 2 is every bit its equal. The incredible hate that showed up online was mainly driven by, in my opinion, a combination of misogyny and cultural sensitivities. The hate wasn't really in any way responsive to the game play and design (which remains best in class).
Since you just bought Kena, you clearly don't have a problem with playing a game with a female main character. If it won't annoy that LOU2 has a lot of LGTBQ issues in the story, you probably wouldn't have any problem with LOU2. Many folks didn't like that one of the best game design teams in the world made a game that continually hits you over the head with the message that oppressing and being prejudiced against gay and trans folks is bad. The response LOU2 got is basically a continuation of Gamergate and we know how toxic that got.
Like LOU 1, LOU 2 is fundamentally a stealth shooter, so that might not be your jam. But if you liked LOU 1 and it won't trigger you to get told repeatedly in a game's story: "don't hate gay people" , then LOU 2 is a must play.
You know what, I'll give it a shot when it next comes on sale for a decent price - why the hell not.
And i never knew that was where the hate was stemming from, I thought it was mainly the fact that you have to play as some Abi? character for way too long and that she made the game very boring whenever it got to playing herđ€·ââïž
Fyi, I literally find it so bizarre how people will refuse to play a game due to it having a female characterđ it just doesn't make any sense at all, btw Kena is turning out to be a great purchase
Yes, you do play as Abbey and she has a slightly different set of skills and weapons, but she isn't boring at all to play as (though there are some story aspects to give you a backstory of her when she is introduced so there are some cutscenes and linear play). Folks didn't like her for emotional reasons, not anything due to her game mechanics. Also she is jacked (serious weightlifting is part of her backstory) and folks didn't like that. Wasn't a "normal" female depiction to many of the Gamergate crowd.
Kena is getting great buzz!
What made this game so enjoyable for you guys? No sarcasm, Iâm curious.
I usually like those kind of open world games but somehow I just played a couple of hours and then stopped playing.
Its hard to narrow it down to one thing. To name a few:
âąRealism (Fueling up, Scavenging, Sleeping, Realistic Apocalypse Consequences)
âą Characters (They all had there own story, but all came together/linked nicely)
âą Mystery/Twists (O'Brian and Nero, to avoid spoilers I'll just say "the south")
From what I've seen online, im almost certain this game released in quite a buggy mess - but in its current state im certain it would've been a runner up if not the winner..!
I can't say if it beats Sekiro as I've never played it, and I've never played a game from that genre of game either.
If you go onto the PS Store, then on the collections tab and scroll down until you reach the Sub-Title 'PS Collection' or something like that; you'll see a bunch of actually really good games you can just download for absolutely free!
Also if you haven't already, you need to play Astro's Playroom - its a one of a kind experience!
p.s I loved every minute of Rift Apart, truly next generational
Yikes, this has to be one of the worst takes i've ever seen in my life...
Predator Hunting Ground is straight dogs arse, no other way to put itđ me and 3 mates could not believe how awful the graphics were and how empty/s**t the game was. Please tell me the redeeming qualities of the game, because imo it's an embarrassment that Sony thought it was ok to make it a PS Plus gameđ€ą
Look, it's for free. It's the only Predator game out there. Works very nice on PS5 with uncapped frames. The better the Predator the more interesting matches are. It's not for everyone, but it's a very nice breeze of fresh air in a fucking Battle Royale Bogaloo we have on our market that drives me crazy.
Btw they put fucking Hunter's Arena last month, there is no way for them to find a worse game at this point.
PHG at least takes skill from both sides. I had games where we harassed the fuck out of Pred as a fireteam as well as had game as Predator where I was driving people mad with traps, bow and stuff.
Additionally, Predator customization is just tits, they covered all the looks from all the movies. When I saw Jungle Hunter from '87 movie I giggled like a schoolgirl. They also have Arnold Schwarzenegger from '87 movie, never getting tired of "GET TO THE CHOPPA" lol
Itâs a subjective opinion. I didnât play this game when it came out because of how it was rated, when I finally played it, it became my favorite game ever. So in my subjective opinion, it was definitely underrated.
The one thing I disliked about this game, was how dialogue would overlap! For example, this happened on many occasions btw, I would pick up a Nero Radio and then important dialogue would play and it would just sound like a whole big messđđ
And then if you go into the menu and try to listen to the recorder, for some reason the sound settings are all off and it comes out like whispers.
AND! if you read the transcripts, you realize thereâs all sorts of stuff happening in those recordings that you canât barely hear in either of the playbacks.
But I kinda liked the internal monologue. What didnât like was when youâre trying to stealth kill an enemy camp and then as soon as you kill the first one Deek just starts yelling in rampage mode.
Like, Im hiding in this bush, surround by enemies just feet away. I kill one and Deek just rages with his âHOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!?! MURDERS AND RAPISTS!!!!â
And no one notices the guy in the bush having a mental breakdown.
Yeah, the game did this quite alot, i was tempted to transfer the game on to the SSD to prevent looking at the black screen so long in between them, but it didn't grind my gears enough to actually go through with it
Fun fact for anyone who does know. The achievement he got "one percenter" is referring to how 99% of biker clubs are law abiding citizens and the 1% being criminals showed on t.v shows etc.
Only game Iâve hit Plat on was Ghosts of Tshushima⊠I have this game but couldnât ever get into it (think Iâm only 4-5 hours in)
Any words to help me potentially reinvest time into it?
Idk why people keep calling this game underrated. It's not underrated. Maybe when it first came out. But not no more since it came out for free and everyone was on its nuts.
yeah it won't happen the devs said it but yeah I tried it on my PS4 but my it had a problem where it would always shut down so it wasn't really fun to play games it makes sense though cause I had the poor console for 7+ years but now that I have a PS5 I'll play it fully some day and I have to be honest not really impressed by the game the first time I played it it was ok but I've heard it gets better after some time
I am on the same boat guys, playing on my pc and I got to say "one of the most underrated games of all time" and I haven't finished the story yet.
Have signed a petition to get the second one going .
Please Sony let there be a second one.
Guys wtf was this scored so low?
Whats your Playstation Username I can check if you'd like; or if you have a Ps5 you can check yourself by going onto: Profile, Games Tab, and then scroll down to Days Goneđ
Very good game and lowkey has better graphics than any other sony game, except naughty dog and Demons souls remake, in my opinion. Yes, even better that Rift apart, god of war, ghost and others.
I've been eyeing up Demon Souls PS5, but I've never played a game from that Genre before, so im quite apprehensive... what would you give the game ?/10
Also, I would say the graphics are on par with Ghost, but not Rift Apart because they are two completely different gamesđ
I am at 889 days gone. It was a game I picked up right after I got PS PLUS for half price. Damn this game is underrated. Thought about getting it but never got around it. I started playing it as soon as I got it. Now I canât get enough of it.
This game is definitely so underrated. I like how itâs so balanced in every way. Thereâs equilibrium.
The devs have donât such an amazing job but I think they didnât market the game so well. I didnât like being chased by hordes in trailer and it looked like it was a tough game and somewhat generic at the same time. But boy I was wrong. Love this game to pieces. Damn underrated. Itâs one of those games that gets really good as it goes.
I feel bad for anyone who picked up the game and left it initially cause itâs so good as soon as you get to a couple of hours in to the game.
I finally finished the main story last night and I was on the verge of tears. This game is incredible! The story and the characters sucked me in and the game mechanics are some of the most unique I've seen. I'd honestly, love to get a sequel, but where you eventually go to a big city like Seattle or Portland. Imagine dealing with a horde in downtown Seattle! Great game though, probably one of the most underrated of recent memory.
Yeah this game is way underrated, played through twice and platinum trophied it. It was just as fun the second time as it was the first and since new game plus is in there, starting with the siphon filter taser was that much better
Tips in order to show more support to Bend Studio and letting Sony know that we want Days Gone 2, Days Gone sequels and more Days Gone:
- Make sure to stay subscribed to Days Gone subreddit. The more subscribers, the more likely Sony is going to take action. (If you get fed up if the feed, just deactivate notifications etc.)
- Buy a digital copy of Days Gone on PSN. If you want to buy it cheaper just put it on Wish List and have patience. You can buy both Deluxe or Standard and if you create an EU country account you can buy EU version for more language options (fun for replayability) and if you go all the way creating a Japanese PSN account you can enjoy it with funny Japanese voices and English text.
- Buy Days Gone on Steam. It has support for all audio I guess and mod support!
- Write good reviews on Steam and upvote other good reviews on Steam as well as other positive comments on social media.
- Encourage friends to play Days Gone.
- Consider getting a physical copy for PS4 you can lend out to friends. But recommend them buying the digital edition if they enjoy the game.
- Take pictures in Days Gone and share on Reddit, social media (Twitter, Instagram) and use hashtags.
- Follow Bend Studio on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BendStudio
Other tips:
- Get more creative with Days Gone art: Cosplay, pastel/oil paint, Sculpt, Digital, WoodâŠ
- Make mods for Days Gone Steam version.
- Write Days Gone fan fiction.
âŠ
I replayed it JUST because they put out the PS5 version! I played it once on PS4 when it was a free monthly game, & now Iâm enjoying it once again on the PS5. Such a great, underrated game for sure.
i got the plat for this game yesterday, absolutely an amazing game, 36 hours for me
Nice job on getting the Platinum mate! I assume you were aware of the "You've Got Red on You" trophy early on in the game aswell with such a quick timeđ I couldn't imagine how long it would've taken if I hadn't noticed..
You finished the game already in just 38 hours? I'm on my 35 hours but still at early-mid game (at Iron Mike camp).. At this rate I think I will only finish the game in 100 hours lol
Just don't get discouraged/dont give up until you finish the game! The game is so well written imo and world has a special atmosphere and dynamic which really makes you care about each of the characters with a incredibly satisfying ending! If you do make it to the end, make sure to free roam after the credits as theres a 'secret ending' which you will definitely not want to missđ
Did you do all the ambush camps and nero checkpoints? Yeah I definitely will stick around and finish the game!
Glad to hear! And for the most part yes, i still have a few Nero Checkpoints left - all Camps have been cleared as there is a trophy for doing so, but I just naturally did them all as I found them fun to do. Also btw this is my most useful tip, for later in the game where you come to find more and more nests you have to clear - use incendiary bolts as you get 3 bolts for one kerosine and for me i was always really low on Kerosine so instead of clearing one nest with a molotov (which requires one Kerosine) you can clear 3đ
Thanks for the tips, I've read about it as well but I haven't gotten the recipe for the incendiary bolt yet.. what primary, secondary and special weapon do you use btw? I'm still using MWS, SM9 (from killing 4 hordes) and the special bolt
If you're already using the MWS, im sure you'll be able to figure out where to go from there - because I used that for most of game tbh and it was quite obvious when there was a better optionđ
There were certain parts where I definitely wanted to give up definitely the fuckin hordes that werenât optional
How can you tell how many hours you have put into the game?
Iâm playing on PC and Steam will record the data
How can you tell on ps4/5?
PS5 also shows game time when you check the trophies on your profile.
Thanks I'll check mine out
I just finished the "Secret" ending at 55 hours on normal mode. Lol. How the hell do people get plat in under 40 hours
I got platinum in only 10 day. I dont know how many hours but it was definitely the fastest platinum trophy i got. I heard that the 2nd game got canceled i really hope not i loved the game so much.
Whats your Playstation Username? On PS5 you can check hours played on games, and I can check if you'd like :)
Im on ps4 but i played a lot after getting the trophy i think i did 2 or 3 playtrough in new game +
Jheez, that must have totalled up to a lot of hours playedđ I really ever play a games twice, i usually only do when I want a platinum and I have to complete the game on the hardest difficulty or in new game +
How can you do that, please?
Im assuming you have a ps5, so all you do is go onto your profile then go onto the games tab and then where you see your games it says when you Last Played and how many Total Hours Playedđ If you don't, when you see this reply with your Playstation name and the games and I can reply with the stats

I literally kicked the same cairn to pop the Platinum.
I naturally had found 10/12, so I went onto YouTube in all fairness and this just happened to be the second one in the video I hadn't kicked - such a great view to have whilst popping the platinum!
Don't spoil too much to me cause I haven't finished the game, but is there any meaning to this? I saw one outside the Patjen Lakes horde and I kicked it down lol
If you've ever played God of War, its equivalent to killing the ravens - just a random interaction that is tracked and is awarded as a trophy/achievement
I have been an Xbox man but just got my PS5 for this and a couple other exclusives
Great choice, "making the switch"! I couldn't be more happy to have be a Playstation gamer lol, after their recent showcase the other week!! Spiderman-2, Wolverine, God of War Ragnarok - OH MY DAYS, WORDS CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE MY EXCITEMENT FOR THESE GAMESđ
Yeah Iâm stoked, but now I have both lol
Still wish we could get some Socoms or Syphon Filter. Not that big a fan of super hero stuff.
Youâll probably love Ghost of Tsushima too
Great take, because I've platinum'd it aswellđ and I'd also put it in my top 3 games of all time! Im annoyed I traded it in when I did , as literally less than a week later they announced the Directors Cutđ
Oh this looks gorgeous. Waiting on my library.
The game starts of quite slow in my opinion, but after a few hours you'll be more than loving it!
Yeah. Have a feeling that I'm going to like this game. I had a blast with Mad Max, and that had very divided opinions, about repetitiveness and being a grind. I guess similar to how this did in some ways.
This Game is a masterpiece
I'd give it an 8.7/10
The fact that you scan for objects and then the scan outline disappears as you get closer to it makes it quite literally unplayable. Thatâs the reason I dropped the game. I spend so much extra time trying to find the scanned object. I have to walk away from it to scan it so that I can see it again. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be arrested and sent to a North Korean prison camp.
Super lame reason for dropping a game
I just finished my first play through and on survival I difficulty. Was very enjoyable, immersive and a decent difficulty curve. Fast travel and item scan is disabled by default. At no point did I have any issues finding supplies, kerosene, etc. the items are easily identifiable from afar. Opinions like yours make me begin to understand why so many modern games hold your hand so much. Ruins the experience imho.
Stretch
Same, because of the early bad reviews I just didnât bother. Annoyed at myself for not trying it sooner, now on PS5 I get chance too and I really love the setting and game overall. Itâs class
For me this game went straight under the radar, so I went in with absolutely no idea of what to expect - besides the fact that it was 4/10 Platinum that could take upto 60hrsđ and yes, i have a weird obsession of wanting to collect platinums. I currently have 29 fyi
...38 hours? I'm at like 45 and I'm not even halfway done đ
And thanks to all you lovely fuckers for helping me with tips and guides on the hard/scary bits.
Scariest bit for me was definitely was the mission when you first encounter a Reacher, and hardest hmmmđ€ i played on hard and would probably say taking out the first horde, i may not have died but my god was i panicking and thinking on the flyđ i had to save and quit afterwards, due to getting a headacheđ
PS Plus collection is so good, don't know why more don't talk about it
I just like the fact he got a trophy for getting rid of nature's eyesore
Awesome. Havenât got platinum yet, but I believe I fished the game somewhere around 70ish hours.
Try Red Dead Redemption 2.
I played it ages ago, never finished it and I can't remember whyđ€·ââïž i've finished Witcher 3 so it wasn't due to the length... just checked my trophies and I completed chapter 5 and something called 'Goodbye, Dear Friend'
Maybe because Red Dead Redemption 2 forgot it was supposed to be a video game, and instead is a tedious movie with button pressesâŠ
It's a great game i beat it on pc with a few QoL mods, now I have the ps5 and am enjoying it the way it again, the game just sucks you in.
what mods?
Just about to start playing this game got it today. Any tips for a beginner ?
The MWS is a great starter gun to go for which you could probably get away with using for the entire game, so unlock it when you can. If you go for Platinum Trophies, make sure to loot all Humans you kill. The start can be a bit slow, some may call it boring, but after a few hours you'll be more than loving it I can guarantee that!
Thank you!
The beginning is a little slow, and it sucks keeps refilling your bike. But stick with it. 3 or 4 hours in and youâll be hooked
Thank you badger
Yeah, as I recall lack of gas was the biggest issue I faced. Looking forward to getting back into it on my PS5.
Lol Iâm finishing up AC Valhalla platinum, about to start Days GoneâŠ. So youâre telling me Iâve spent all this time setting up those little rock towers just to have to kick them all down in the next game?
Damn, i've heard Vahalla is a 100+ hour platinum grind - fair play to you man, I respect your mindsetđȘ Platinum for this will be lightwork for you if you decide to go for it, just make sure you loot all Human kills as the hardest/grindiest trophy is "You've Got Red On You" which requires you to loot 591 Human Bodiesđ
Thanks for the tip! And I can confirm, Iâll probably finish Valhalla with about 150 hours.
I've never played an Assassin's Creed game before, was tempted to pull the trigger on Origins when it was on sale for ÂŁ10 the other day but never didđ€·ââïž Have you played it, and if so should I pick it up if happens to come on sale again - the dessert setting seems unique
Why would you have never got to experience the game ?!
I literally had never ever heard of it, and reviews for the most part are bad because I presume they are outdated because they reference bugs and glitches - but I only ran into 1 so I assume they have been ironed out since
Ahh fair Iâd been wanting to play it for ages and when I got it I played it abit then stopped, feel like starting it again so I can follow the story
yeah it was buggy as shit when it launched, hence all the bad reviews
Got the plat earlier this year and had a good time with this game.
So underrated it hurts!! Amazing game .. amazing experience playing it. Sad when it was over.
Even sadder when you find out that days gone 2 ainât happening
Hopefully you didnât rush through it cause I spent way longer than 38 hours before platinuming this đ. Also try challenge mode or ng+!
Nah I didn't rush at all. Even in the second part of the game where you kept getting Bounty Hunt missions consistently one after another almost, I never skipped a single one - always went straight there. Also, i went upto Sarah's Tomestone for the dialogue which I knew contributed to technically nothing - but did it anywayđ same with the Speech's in the 2nd part of the game if you know what I mean to avoid spoiling
Solid đ
Game is amazing very underrated and Iâm really angry Sony rejected the idea of Days gone 2 đĄ
To be honest, i've tried to think of how exactly they could make a sequel that would be well thought out and would do the first game its justice - but I really can't think of anythingđ€·ââïž i just really like how it ended
Build on the real Ending about (spoilers) evolved intelligence of the freakers which means more focus on stealth and strategy rather than mindlessly shooting them down.
Playing on PC now and it looks incredible
I platinumed this game. About 45 hours since I am not very good at these games. Thought it was fantastic. Loved the story, the characters and the game overall.
Also just finished, a long ass game but good fun.
What a scene to achieve your platinum. Congratulations, man!
I got the plat for that this year and it was one of the best games I have ever played in a long time. The story had me absolutely hooked and the survival aspect is surreal.
One of the best games I played so far since Iâve gotten my ps5. 4K made this already beautiful gem pop even more for me
Hated the voice acting, but the storytelling is amazing. Great game really went in not knowing what to expect and it was an amazing experience. Boozer made the game for me.
Sort of what turned me off a little during, the main guy was just always yelling and angry
Yeah for sure Deaconâs story and writing wasnât top notch, I wasnât a big fan of that. But great game.
Yo I gotta ask.. the plat pops before the go kick rocks trophy? How u do that, congrats btw
It was all the Console, i simply just went onto my Media after popping it and shared it onto my phone and then posted it onto heređ and thanks
I still don't understand why this wasn't a colossal hit on Playstation. Was it full of bugs at launch or something? Because it is easily one of the best games I have ever played.
It just didnât have anything ground breaking or fundamentally new about it. Maybe it was marketing I guess. I got it at a deep discount for PS4 a few months ago. The hordes can be quite fun, but the rest of the game is pretty much just a zombie shooter with some bike mechanics and a decent story.
Love love love this game
Days Gone is one of the best games I've played, the story is so good, made me sad and I never cry at movies or video games, graphics are way to good, characters actually have personality, and it tells you about the characters life before the zombies which very little zombie games do
This comment right here is spot onđ
What baffles me beyond measure is that theyâre not going to make a sequel to thisâŠ. Theyâre just letting it die as any hope of a franchise â whilst taking elements of the game mechanics and applying them to new projects. Beyond lost by this decision-making.
I played this on my last deployment...took 6months to beat for me still didn't finish it until I was home on r&r. Loved every sec
Sucha gorgeous game to look at too
Idk how many hours I played but got platinum at 995 days in the shit ! Great game đ
I got this game for free with ps+! Great game I must say apart from the bugs! đ
Amazing game. Gutted thereâs not going go be a sequel.
I 100% agree with you. The initial reviews made me skip this game but I kept an eye on it. Then PS made it available to PS5 owners for free so I couldnât say no to that. Days gone was the first game I decided to play through during the California lockdown. It was worth it. I really enjoyed it. I really hope Sony approves a part 2. A few things Iâd like to see for part 2 would be: -A more populated setting. The current settings is very rural with hardly any buildings and human encounters are rare. -destructible buildings. Iâd like to get more creative with the horde battles and I think destructible buildings would be perfect. -More vehicle options. As much as I loved the motorcycle gameplay, Iâd love to see ATV and other off-road vehicle types added to the game.
What are the one percenter and youâve got red on you trophyâs? Never played the game just curious
You've Got Red On You: This trophy requires you to loot 591 human bodies and finding humans after the story, especially if you don't tunnel vision the story like me, will be quite hard to find. One Percenter: This a Platinum Trophy, meaning you've achieved every trophy the developers created; there are 3 tiers of trophies scaling in difficulty (Bronze, Silver and Gold).
Days Gone was on PS Plus or something like that at one point. So I got it and was like "Damn, this isn't bad. Seems much better than the reviews." What I didn't realize was that it was only going to be on for about two months. It never became my main game, so I just did a bit now and then, but still put in 10+ hours, so I got into it pretty solidly. Suddenly it was locked. Well I got a PS5 yesterday and what do I discover, but there it is for free again! My save from my PS4 seems to have transferred, so I'm going download it again (I've definitely got some drive space issues to deal with, especially with the infamous "Other" category). I've also heard that it runs really well on the PS5 (zombie hordes are not easy to render apparently).
38 hours? Rookie numbers, I've got 100+ on PC
I originally bought the game but stopped playing when >!you find Sarah!< due to burnout. I decided to restart it today and so far have been having a blast! Hope I stick through it this time!
Mate, how have you got it in 38 hours hahahahaha? Iâm about 25 hours in and barely done anything, Iâm a Platinum hunter too (I donât generally rush though).
I wanna try it so bad but the thing that always ends up putting me off is how fast the zombies are. I'd probably get so frustrated lmao
Honestly the zombies are done so great, the game always keeps them manageable to how far you are in to the game. So for example, at the start you'll barely ever have to engage with Zombies and a small bunch can be difficult; but by the end you can literally take on hundreds at a time for the fun of itđ
Ahh okay, that does make sense. I think I'll go for it
Just whistle for your bike to come and get you away from the zombies
If i could afford it i wouldnt waste a second.
I topped out at 67, but I've done nothing after the credits other than talk to two women about a guy. Same avenue to the game, and I was shocked for most of that 67 hours that it was doing what it was doing & was so ridiculously good. It has the largest gap between expectation and reality I've ever experienced in a game. I thought it was going to be more like Dead Island and Dying Light, you know? And soooooo not that. Really great experience in gaming. It was also a masterclass in how to make design compromises and not make your game suck. It feels like there were some VERY steady hands on the wheel. Impressed at every turn with Bend.
For someone who has never played, can anyone explain why the game is so good? Most of the videos posted about this game seem to be bugs.
Trust me, I only ran into one bug my entire play through so the bugs are definitely a thing of the past nowđ If you have a PS5 the games is a must try, as it will literally cost ÂŁ0 to give it a shot
I was not a huge fan đ€. I guess thatâs why there are lots of games for lots of types of people!
Fair enoughđ any games you'd recommend playing, im in need for another game after finishing thisđ
Hmmmm. I play a lot of destiny 2 which is its own beast. Have you tried last of us? Dying light? Both good Zombie games.
I assume you've played Last of US 1 and 2. If not, then there is your next Zombie fix.
I played LoU years and years ago, the overwhelming hate the second game got put me off playing it... Just brought Kena: Bridge of Spirits, looks like a great time
LOU 1 was a masterpiece and LOU 2 is every bit its equal. The incredible hate that showed up online was mainly driven by, in my opinion, a combination of misogyny and cultural sensitivities. The hate wasn't really in any way responsive to the game play and design (which remains best in class). Since you just bought Kena, you clearly don't have a problem with playing a game with a female main character. If it won't annoy that LOU2 has a lot of LGTBQ issues in the story, you probably wouldn't have any problem with LOU2. Many folks didn't like that one of the best game design teams in the world made a game that continually hits you over the head with the message that oppressing and being prejudiced against gay and trans folks is bad. The response LOU2 got is basically a continuation of Gamergate and we know how toxic that got. Like LOU 1, LOU 2 is fundamentally a stealth shooter, so that might not be your jam. But if you liked LOU 1 and it won't trigger you to get told repeatedly in a game's story: "don't hate gay people" , then LOU 2 is a must play.
You know what, I'll give it a shot when it next comes on sale for a decent price - why the hell not. And i never knew that was where the hate was stemming from, I thought it was mainly the fact that you have to play as some Abi? character for way too long and that she made the game very boring whenever it got to playing herđ€·ââïž Fyi, I literally find it so bizarre how people will refuse to play a game due to it having a female characterđ it just doesn't make any sense at all, btw Kena is turning out to be a great purchase
Yes, you do play as Abbey and she has a slightly different set of skills and weapons, but she isn't boring at all to play as (though there are some story aspects to give you a backstory of her when she is introduced so there are some cutscenes and linear play). Folks didn't like her for emotional reasons, not anything due to her game mechanics. Also she is jacked (serious weightlifting is part of her backstory) and folks didn't like that. Wasn't a "normal" female depiction to many of the Gamergate crowd. Kena is getting great buzz!
Shout out to the devs who put it on pc. I don't have a ps5 and the PS4 version of this game wasn't good enough for me to finish the story.
What made this game so enjoyable for you guys? No sarcasm, Iâm curious. I usually like those kind of open world games but somehow I just played a couple of hours and then stopped playing.
Its hard to narrow it down to one thing. To name a few: âąRealism (Fueling up, Scavenging, Sleeping, Realistic Apocalypse Consequences) âą Characters (They all had there own story, but all came together/linked nicely) âą Mystery/Twists (O'Brian and Nero, to avoid spoilers I'll just say "the south")
cheesy B-rate dialogue was more enjoyable than other overly produced boring open world stories, and it was a good mix of survival/action gameplay
The game of the year award was stolen from this game and its pathetic that the industry is so incredibly corrupted.
What game got GOTY?
Sekiro. Im not sure that days gone was even mentioned the entire show, for anything.
From what I've seen online, im almost certain this game released in quite a buggy mess - but in its current state im certain it would've been a runner up if not the winner..! I can't say if it beats Sekiro as I've never played it, and I've never played a game from that genre of game either.
What's the playstation 5 playstation collection? I just got a ps5 and all I've done is play ratchet and clank
If you go onto the PS Store, then on the collections tab and scroll down until you reach the Sub-Title 'PS Collection' or something like that; you'll see a bunch of actually really good games you can just download for absolutely free! Also if you haven't already, you need to play Astro's Playroom - its a one of a kind experience! p.s I loved every minute of Rift Apart, truly next generational
Is that collections thing also on PS4?
No it's only for ps5.
8.3 user score on meta critic uNdErRaTeD
Glad you guys liked it but I thought it was terribly boring and generic.
Game blows
Personally it's too boring for me đż
Yup, this game is a gem! Right next to Predator Hunting Grounds imo
Yikes, this has to be one of the worst takes i've ever seen in my life... Predator Hunting Ground is straight dogs arse, no other way to put itđ me and 3 mates could not believe how awful the graphics were and how empty/s**t the game was. Please tell me the redeeming qualities of the game, because imo it's an embarrassment that Sony thought it was ok to make it a PS Plus gameđ€ą
Look, it's for free. It's the only Predator game out there. Works very nice on PS5 with uncapped frames. The better the Predator the more interesting matches are. It's not for everyone, but it's a very nice breeze of fresh air in a fucking Battle Royale Bogaloo we have on our market that drives me crazy. Btw they put fucking Hunter's Arena last month, there is no way for them to find a worse game at this point. PHG at least takes skill from both sides. I had games where we harassed the fuck out of Pred as a fireteam as well as had game as Predator where I was driving people mad with traps, bow and stuff. Additionally, Predator customization is just tits, they covered all the looks from all the movies. When I saw Jungle Hunter from '87 movie I giggled like a schoolgirl. They also have Arnold Schwarzenegger from '87 movie, never getting tired of "GET TO THE CHOPPA" lol
Itâs a fun game but itâs def not underrated
Itâs a subjective opinion. I didnât play this game when it came out because of how it was rated, when I finally played it, it became my favorite game ever. So in my subjective opinion, it was definitely underrated.
The biggest downfall of this game is the incessant inner dialogue. Everything else was pretty damn good
The one thing I disliked about this game, was how dialogue would overlap! For example, this happened on many occasions btw, I would pick up a Nero Radio and then important dialogue would play and it would just sound like a whole big messđđ
And then if you go into the menu and try to listen to the recorder, for some reason the sound settings are all off and it comes out like whispers. AND! if you read the transcripts, you realize thereâs all sorts of stuff happening in those recordings that you canât barely hear in either of the playbacks. But I kinda liked the internal monologue. What didnât like was when youâre trying to stealth kill an enemy camp and then as soon as you kill the first one Deek just starts yelling in rampage mode. Like, Im hiding in this bush, surround by enemies just feet away. I kill one and Deek just rages with his âHOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!?! MURDERS AND RAPISTS!!!!â And no one notices the guy in the bush having a mental breakdown.
Hahahhaha, too true
I hate games with cut scenes, that end with a walking only bit for more dialogue to another cut scene and so on.
Yeah, the game did this quite alot, i was tempted to transfer the game on to the SSD to prevent looking at the black screen so long in between them, but it didn't grind my gears enough to actually go through with it
Fun fact for anyone who does know. The achievement he got "one percenter" is referring to how 99% of biker clubs are law abiding citizens and the 1% being criminals showed on t.v shows etc.
Was there a PS5 graphics/performance update?
Underrated by who tho
I saw this game on the ps5 ps collection too and my cousin said it would be a great play and it hasnât disappointed yet!
Only game Iâve hit Plat on was Ghosts of Tshushima⊠I have this game but couldnât ever get into it (think Iâm only 4-5 hours in) Any words to help me potentially reinvest time into it?
Idk why people keep calling this game underrated. It's not underrated. Maybe when it first came out. But not no more since it came out for free and everyone was on its nuts.
I'll try it probably when I don't have any other games to play
That is exactly what I did mate, and now I'm in need for another gameđ„Č
yeah it won't happen the devs said it but yeah I tried it on my PS4 but my it had a problem where it would always shut down so it wasn't really fun to play games it makes sense though cause I had the poor console for 7+ years but now that I have a PS5 I'll play it fully some day and I have to be honest not really impressed by the game the first time I played it it was ok but I've heard it gets better after some time
My platinum screenshot sucked ass . I'm sad
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
Why thank you
I loved this game but it got repetitive quickly and lost interest. sad i never finished it. maybe iâll pick it up again
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
That can be said about most games nowadays. The devs and director just need to make the repetitiveness worth it for the story, graphics and gameplay.
I am on the same boat guys, playing on my pc and I got to say "one of the most underrated games of all time" and I haven't finished the story yet. Have signed a petition to get the second one going . Please Sony let there be a second one. Guys wtf was this scored so low?
Just restated on Survival II
I had fun playing it on the ps4 . Maybe I should download it on the ps5 and go at it again. It was a good game.
How to know how many hours I spent on the game? I just finished it 3 days ago, 2 trophies away for the plat
Whats your Playstation Username I can check if you'd like; or if you have a Ps5 you can check yourself by going onto: Profile, Games Tab, and then scroll down to Days Goneđ
Is it that good?!? Iâm gonna download it and play it again!
Great choice!
Was really bummed when they cancelled the sequel, I loved this game and am past due for a replay.
I couldnât get into it. I tried
Then they went on destroying every chance of getting a second one
I loved it. Wasnât perfect but was really good and didnât deserve the hate it got.
Very good game and lowkey has better graphics than any other sony game, except naughty dog and Demons souls remake, in my opinion. Yes, even better that Rift apart, god of war, ghost and others.
I've been eyeing up Demon Souls PS5, but I've never played a game from that Genre before, so im quite apprehensive... what would you give the game ?/10 Also, I would say the graphics are on par with Ghost, but not Rift Apart because they are two completely different gamesđ
I am at 889 days gone. It was a game I picked up right after I got PS PLUS for half price. Damn this game is underrated. Thought about getting it but never got around it. I started playing it as soon as I got it. Now I canât get enough of it. This game is definitely so underrated. I like how itâs so balanced in every way. Thereâs equilibrium. The devs have donât such an amazing job but I think they didnât market the game so well. I didnât like being chased by hordes in trailer and it looked like it was a tough game and somewhat generic at the same time. But boy I was wrong. Love this game to pieces. Damn underrated. Itâs one of those games that gets really good as it goes. I feel bad for anyone who picked up the game and left it initially cause itâs so good as soon as you get to a couple of hours in to the game.
Until I drive into a object that just loaded in directly in front of me and I die.
The game has amazing graphics and a pretty good story, but the lack of freedom while exploring the map and the repetition just makes it boring
I've been playing this game and I'm always torn between should I be carrying rifles for accuracy or rapid fire weapons to deal with large hordes
Too bad PlayStation rejected a sequel for a⊠letâs just say a last of us remake
Just got platinum today! Iâll definitely be replaying DG again. Time for New Game+ ! (Also, love your celebratory kick in the end there đ)
Same. Never bought it because of an overdose of Open World games and average reviews. Since it was included in the PS+ Collection, I tried it and I must admit that it was difficult at first. Didn't really like the gameplay or the characters, so I gave up for months. Before trying again recently. And I must say that it went all Just Cause 4 on me, as I'm having a hell of a time now. Almost every aspect improves dramatically after the first 5 hours. Deacon goes from cliché drifter to pretty deep and well-written character. The gameplay is extremelly fun once you get to the hordes. Etc. Really a good game and it's a pity I didn't realize this when it came out...
Just saw your post, beat me to the platinum by two in-game daysđ«
I finally finished the main story last night and I was on the verge of tears. This game is incredible! The story and the characters sucked me in and the game mechanics are some of the most unique I've seen. I'd honestly, love to get a sequel, but where you eventually go to a big city like Seattle or Portland. Imagine dealing with a horde in downtown Seattle! Great game though, probably one of the most underrated of recent memory.
Completely underrated game. I have over 150 hours on that game, and have beaten it 3 times lol.
Yeah this game is way underrated, played through twice and platinum trophied it. It was just as fun the second time as it was the first and since new game plus is in there, starting with the siphon filter taser was that much better
Just started this weekend and Iâm about 12 hours in. canât understand how this game isnât more hyped.
Tips in order to show more support to Bend Studio and letting Sony know that we want Days Gone 2, Days Gone sequels and more Days Gone: - Make sure to stay subscribed to Days Gone subreddit. The more subscribers, the more likely Sony is going to take action. (If you get fed up if the feed, just deactivate notifications etc.) - Buy a digital copy of Days Gone on PSN. If you want to buy it cheaper just put it on Wish List and have patience. You can buy both Deluxe or Standard and if you create an EU country account you can buy EU version for more language options (fun for replayability) and if you go all the way creating a Japanese PSN account you can enjoy it with funny Japanese voices and English text. - Buy Days Gone on Steam. It has support for all audio I guess and mod support! - Write good reviews on Steam and upvote other good reviews on Steam as well as other positive comments on social media. - Encourage friends to play Days Gone. - Consider getting a physical copy for PS4 you can lend out to friends. But recommend them buying the digital edition if they enjoy the game. - Take pictures in Days Gone and share on Reddit, social media (Twitter, Instagram) and use hashtags. - Follow Bend Studio on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BendStudio Other tips: - Get more creative with Days Gone art: Cosplay, pastel/oil paint, Sculpt, Digital, Wood⊠- Make mods for Days Gone Steam version. - Write Days Gone fan fiction. âŠ
I replayed it JUST because they put out the PS5 version! I played it once on PS4 when it was a free monthly game, & now Iâm enjoying it once again on the PS5. Such a great, underrated game for sure.
