Topic: Days Gone - OT

And as I was playing, all sounds suddenly stopped working. The only thing that was still audible was Deacon. Everything else dead silent.

@Octane You're character have been infected and it's temporary deaf. Wow!
Or maybe it's just another bug.

Mmmmm just killed my first horde in Days Gone. Was only a little one but managed to catch 50 of them sleeping in a mine. So I quietly crawled in, chucked 3 pipe bombs at the group and legged it back to my bike. About a dozen or so made it out but I threw a few molotovs at them, shot a couple of others and watched the rest burn. Man that was intense. Such a mad feeling when you finally conquer them. Feel like a superhero.

Days Gone is awesome.

Yeah, hordes really are something else.

The game starts pretty slow or at least felt that way for me but towards the end, it really starts to click. I'm enjoying the survival aspect a lot.

Much like Sekiro this is a game where I'm wondering how people have had the time to finish it so quick. I feel like I might be getting on for 20 hours in the game now and I've barely reached the 3rd area.

I bought it last week in the sale, and it's so good. Might be my favourite PS4 game. Zombies, motorbikes, and a miserable git, it was made for me .
I'm playing on hard, and get by fine with melee, as long as I'm not too out numbered. Just practice that R1 roll timing, and you can dodge out of the way most of the time.
Coming straight from RDR2, the being in the right place to search thing is so much better than trying to hitch that damn horse, I've not noticed it too much.

It's not the best script I've ever seen, but it gets more interesting as you get further into the story.
I'm a lover of the crossbow myself, there is just something I find really satisfying about sneaking around headshotting zombies with it.

Started a new game on PS5. Never got far, because I wasn't really into it. I pretty much forgot everything that happened, so there's that.

Not a big fan of melee combat on R2, it just doesn't feel right. I can't pinpoint it, but the control setup doesn't feel natural. Not sure what I'd change, but I definitely remember pressing the wrong buttons a lot lol.

Got to the point where I quit last time I think. I'm definitely paying more attention, and I understand it all a little better I think. I have to say, the world looks amazing. Climbing those watch towers, and view, it is as if you really are in Oregon. They definitely nailed that part.

@Octane I played a few hours of it before Cyberpunk. It didn't blow me away but I did enjoy it and plan to go back to it soonish, after I get the urge to play something open world again.

Can someone explain the gun locker to me? I reached Tucker and Alkai(?), and I was able to buy new weapons. A SAP9, which is supposedly better than my 9MM. When I buy the gun, it drops the 9MM, and I can't hold more than one. I can't access the store anymore after this instance, presumably due to story reasons. Anyway, I restarted my save, tried putting my 9MM in the locker first to purchase the SAP9, but I won't let me store the weapon. How does this work?

What I've learned to far is that the best way to kill deer is by riding into them with your bike.

Octane - only guns you've purchased or have been rewarded can be stored in the locker. Will not store every gun found in world

@Octane any weapons bought or gifted to you will be available in your locker even if you drop them, you can always just go back to your locker later and re-select it for no cost except to maybe fill the ammo. I've found this pretty helpful since I've gone with a sniper rifle as my special and a rifle for my main and the SAP9 for my secondary I use a lot of stealth so have them all equipped with silencers but when in a big gun fight I've swapped out my rifle for a ak47 or shotgun I'll get from an enemy to deal with larger numbers then go back to the locker and get my original weapons again.

I don't know if we get extra holsters or not but they would be super helpful.

@MaulTsir I was about to ask about the holsters! I guess so, but it'll be a surprise until them I guess..!

And thanks! I've mostly gathered that from playing as well, I figured it would be a weird system if you could permanently lose the weapons you bought.

I'm about 30 hours in now, played a bit more yesterday, messed up a tiny bit didn't manage to clear all the speakers on a Nero check point close to a horde and now the horde is constantly there day and night lol had a mission to clear a marauders camp out and it was so close to the horde that their gun shots brought them flying through the camp and destroying all of us, was pretty funny tbh

@MaulTsir The one near the sawmill? I had the same problem. I thought I cleared out all the speakers, but there was one left. I died, and the horde respawned inside, and they didn't come out for some reason, so I took out the last speaker, and now the area is safe.

@Octane yeah that is the one, I managed to snipe the speaker but they just hang about there now every time I reload the game and I've even progressed the game further they just be a horde around that Nero camp and some at the saw mill lol hopefully I'll be ready to take them out at some poin5 but I think it's one of the harder hordes

@MaulTsir I managed to take two out, even though I wasn't supposed to I think. I did them before the "tutorial" when you learn about hordes with Iron Mike. Though my strategy was just luring a few away, shooting them, and repeat. Even had to back to camp twice to get more ammo lol.

@Octane @MaulTsir The saw mill is a good spot to get them chasing after you and then unload molotovs and the chicago chopper on them...esp if you can get them following you into the tunnel. Once they're following you, double back to the nero checkpoint and use the gun locker to refill ammo. They can't hurt you while you're going through the gun locker. They will be gone in no time
