Re: Days Gone Patch 1.05 Improves Performance and Squashes Bugs

Jimmy_G_Buckets

There are two major gripes about Days Gone: The bugs and glitches, and the unoriginal gameplay. I have been fortunate to not experience too many hiccups in my 10 hours of playtime, but it is encouraging to hear that Bend Studios are devoted to improving the game. Skyrim was released with many more issues, yet that game is view as an all time great. Regarding the cookie cutter design, do other franchises receive the same criticisms when warranted? Think COD, or Assassin's Creed or Madden. A review is by nature an opinion, but Days Gone deserves more praise than a 5 or a 6. I hope the gamers respond appropriately with their wallets. It looks like that's what's happening, at least in the UK.

Re: Soapbox: I Should've Scored The Witness 10/10

I haven't played Witness yet but agree with the reviewer that a "10"" does not reflect perfection, but a game that belongs in the cream of the crop, sort of speak. The grading scale is there to measure a game against others and without "10's", there would be no "9's" with anything greater to judge it against. So therefore a 9( or 9.9 I suppose) would be the new 10 and that's just silly sauce.

Re: Feature: Why You Shouldn't Worry About PS5 Backwards Compatibility

Why would a person buy a PS5 to play PS4 and older games? I agree with the context of this question. I personally believe there would be little to none backlash if the new console was not BC. As the article notes, the PS store can serve as that service. If someone complains about the need to buy the same game twice, then dust off your old console. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but BC has always been an overrated service IMO.

Re: Days Gone Puts a Frightening Number of Freakers on Screen

I hardly ever buy a game at full price. For my PS4, for example, I bought Monster Hunter World and Spider-Man at $60. There are too many great games on sale, and the backlog is tremendous. Yet, as Days Gone approaches, I become more eager to traverse the Cascade Mountains in the PNW, taking on the undead and pesky humans alike. Bend is my home and I will gladly support this development team, at the full price of their game.
