The best thing about PlayStation 4 exclusive Days Gone is that it allows you to play in a multitude of different ways. If you want to approach a situation in stealth then that’s perfectly viable; alternatively, you can equip yourself with as many firearms as possible, and go guns blazing like an 80s action hero. In this video, one player clears an entire horde of 300 Freakers without firing a single shot.
How do they do it, then? Well, it requires some careful planning and well-placed explosives. The player then uses a mixture of decoys and Molotovs to burn the monsters and clear out the horde for good. The video makes it look easy, but if you’ve played Sony Bend’s apocalyptic open worlder then you’ll know that actually dealing with these swarms of enemies is a white-knuckle experience.
This is an impressive achievement, for sure. Bravo!

Yeah thats impressive. My heart was racing just watching.
Having a horde swarm on you is one of greatest/most dreadful feelings.
Molotov's and Napalm might as well be big fiery bullets. This is less impressive knowing he used those but his setup and execution are spot on none the less.
Very well done. I tried a similar approach when I played, but it went very wrong when I got seen. I did get it done, though.
I should give it another go I think. Moments like these are cool, but I couldn't really get into it. Felt like a ton of fetch quests, go here, go there. Standard big open world with all the markers. And it feels like I kinda grew tired of it before it even started..
Nice. The hordes in Days Gone are really great. Super tense and while I still find the gameplay a bit clunky, there's really nothing else like it when it comes to taking down (or completely legging it from) a gigantic group of relentless enemies like this.
@thefirst Its so weird that game gets so low review scores from the professionals while the public loves it.
Very impressive! I cheesed my first horde. It was one of the smallest in the game, in a random cave. I just molotov’d the entrance a handful of times, killing them all as they ran out.
This game sucks and I don't care what anyone says.
**** Days Gone. All my homies hate Days Gone.
@No_Cartridge I truly am God's gift to humanity.
How else would anyone know what an undeniably crappy, boring, stupid game Days Gone is?
Thank God for me!
@No_Cartridge Just think that someone doesn't enjoy things you do! No that's just downright logical!
O_o
@No_Cartridge And?... I don't see the big deal here. I just wanted to post a comment like everyone else buddy.
If anyone's spreading negativity here it's Days Gone for being so ****. It's just the worst thing in the entire world.
Seriously though, it's just a bit of fun. You don't need to care. lol
Wow I just use to blaze away with every gun I possessed until nothing was moving. I just don’t have the patience to do what that chap did🤔
I will say thou: I Loved the game, loved the bike, loved the story, loved fighting the hordes, loved the in game world.
Yep, I have a whole lot of love for “Days gone” ☺️
I really need to try this game again. Got out on back burner for something on backlog. I appreciate what Sony does first party so much i have 4 games on my shelf right now i havent seen to completion that are PS exclusive but were purchased to do my part to make sure those devs flourish. Especially if it's a concept i totally dig
I took out almost an entire horde from a cliff - twice. Funny enough...none of them reacted as I was mowing them down. It was from a pretty far distance, so I guess the game didn't register the horde as being triggered to my presence.
I only moved in when there weren't enough clusters to really shoot at wildly - plus, I got bored.
I loved this game more then I thought.
In fact I played spiderman after this and.. Well.. I liked this one better.
So, I still haven't played this, but after all the patches and everything, I'm curious. And I do enjoy shooting zombos, generally speaking. Slightly fatigued by the 'open world' thing, though. Is it worth it?
Loved this game so muuuchhh! I platinium it! One of my favorite ps4 games, for sure!
@Toypop Why do.you have to do that? Praise a good game but then slag off another?
I'm playing and really enjoying Days Gone myself but Horizon Zero Dawn is a very good game in its own right. No need to criticise it. Maybe you feel the former was harshly treated by critics but sod them, they know no more than the average gamer. Horizon received some critical reviews, hell it didn't even make Eurogamer's Top 50 games of 2017!
Also, there is no way Days Gone is as beautiful as Horizon. No console game is!
Who cares. This person obviously spent time hours, hours, days, and days. Too much. Not good for you. I am not wowing at this person anyway. Silly and play too much is not necessarily. I love video games but I limited myself because you are missing a lot like nature, and many and many more. The video game can wait! Your life cannot.
@thefirst They're definitely quite hostile towards Sony and PS exclusives.
In comparison they absolutely love Nintendo and rate all their games very highly, bafflingly so at times.
@azoreseuropa Eh?!
Guy complains about another guy playing too many video games....on a gaming website. That makes sense.
😉
@azoreseuropa
1 - We're in a lockdown, so seeing nature isn't exactly feasible or logical right now.
2 - The same could be said about anything that a person spends a considerable amount of time on. Learning an instrument, dedicating your life to a career, etc.
3 - What a person chooses to do with their time, as long as it makes them happy and doesn't harm another person, is completely their choice.
4 - Have you spoken to this individual and asked them how much time they spent executing this? For me, taking the video at face value, you could come up with this in just a few retries, not hours, certainly not days.
5 - Finally, there are many personal issues that may mean a person cannot live a life such as yours; mobility issues, mental issues, etc. For some people, gaming allows you in to a world that the real one has deemed off-limits to you.
@Constable_What You and your homies must have bad taste then, I feel for you all 😉
@Constable_What That's Jim Sterling's line son.
@DonJorginho Nah. We just hate bad games. I mean, it ain't easy being right. Around 50 percent of the world's population has an IQ of below 100 after all.
@Amusei Jim Sterling is Hitler, and he told me himself.
@Constable_What You're the least funniest funny guy around here bucko.
@Amusei Sure, bud, you watch Jim Sterling, so I bet you know a thing or two about comedy gold.
I'll take your word for it, friendo.
@Constable_What Lmao, touché. He's rather weird, I like weird.
@Amusei He does good work, don't get me wrong. But that voice, combined with that royalty free YouTube music triggers my flight or flight response.
I like the Lamón for my gaming yucks. They're weird too to be fair.
@Constable_What I feel you, he's a particular taste for sure. Sometimes, I also don't get it to be fair, he's a strange fella. Not sure what lamón means though. 😀
@Amusei He's hit or miss with me.
Oh, and Lamón is Laymen Gaming. It's the show that Skill Up does with his brother.
@thefirst Totally agree with you on every point.
@Constable_What Never heard of them, I'll check it out.
@thefirst it’s also useful to note that critic reviews are just their opinions. Frequently l will disagree with game and film scores. Just follow your instinct.
@SaikoWaifu2003 I'd love to see both of those franchises get another try. Days Gone definitely will.
Order 1886.... Eh... I don't know about that.
Maybe I'm just not an intellectual. You have to have an extraordinarily high IQ for those two games.
