Days Gone was a far better game than the reviews indicated. Very fun - just a bit slow to get going.
The only real issue I had with it was the boring one-note lead character - another example of the beige tough guy alpha male archetype who can’t show any emotions except anger and looks like he’s pushing out a painful turd when any other emotion pops up.
There was exactly no progression or growth with the character. Nauseating.

Jesus Christ…. It’s a rough estimate. The gaming space is still dominated by men 25-40. Do you actually have a retort for anything else I said or are you just going to fixate on a hyperbolic statistical statement? Or are you one of the sad neckbeards that defends sexual infantilisation and other gross s***.

@Yagami you didn’t even read my post. I said it’s disgusting when infantilisation porn which is largely Japanese intersects with and is normalised in mods. I never said there is anything wrong with porn or that is leads to anything bad. Don’t put words in my mouth. You didn’t read or comprehend my post in any way shape of form.

@Yagami There is nothing wrong with adult content in games. What I’m trying to explain is how a lot of the modding going on treads a very thin line between standard content and content that intersects with very questionable and illegal stuff. It is all historically present in Japanese porn and neckbeards defend it as OK because it’s pixels and not real women. And it’s disgusting.

@LifeGirl Give me a break. The gaming space is still dominated by men. If you bothered to explore the modding spaces on Japanese games there is a constant omnipresent line between adult content and things which are acceptable in Japanese pornography. Stuff which is absolutely about infantilisation of women or straight up CP.
Have you ever been to Japan? It might open your eyes. To refuse to see the intersectionality is ignorant.

@LifeGirl Let’s not pretend it’s not 99% men making and consuming these mods. There’s less cringe ways to see naked people. Porn for instance. Or leaving the house and meeting people. Also let’s not pretend that it’s all heavily tied into CP or Japan-centric lolly territory. Ashley RE mods for instance.
Putting the cringe aside it’s very often about infantilising girls and women and that is very problematic.

Metacritic is a cesspool of super immature men.
If you need metacritic to decide what games to buy, you’re doing it wrong.
Shouldn’t most gamers have an independent thought about what types of games they like? I know I do.

Neck beards making nude mods of every PC version of games will never stop - and it will never stop being super cringe.

@DonJorginho “sacked immediately”? It’s interesting how flippantly you talk about the livelihoods of people who make games. Especially when it has no impact on you whatsoever. You’re no doubt the type of gamer who leaves 0/10 reviews on metacritic. Cringeworthy..

@Ralizah if you actually read the article you’d know that’s already happening.

Trophy hunters are pretty cringe.

Hahahahaha the borderlands games are utter crap.

Inverted cameras are indeed criminal!!

Far too expensive

As soon as I read ‘micro transactions’ or ‘loot’ boxes my eyes glaze over and my wallet shuts.

It couldn’t be any worse than the games hahah

You didn’t mention the music at all in the reciew except for saying it’s ’thumping’ in the opening paragraph.

Koei Tecmo make much better games (not hard I know) than Ubisoft and treat Japan’s (and China’s) history and folklore a hundred times better. Just play those vastly superior games instead of the latest dull production line tripe from AAA developers who don’t care about gamers.

@PuppetMaster I understand what you’re saying but I think consumers still have effective people power in certain circumstances. Remember horse armour DLC? I think we should still try rather than just laying down and putting up with whatever crappy business practices are inflicted on us.

I know it’s an old game but clunky combat is a hard no from me.

I wonder if this is like Rock N Roll Racing from the 16bit era.

The reason companies do this predatory crap is that PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BUY IT!!
Battle Passes, Loot Boxes, In Game Currency, Micro Transactions…. Be smart and stop supporting companies that do this rubbish. It’s not brain surgery - vote with your wallet.

Fighting games with this kind of sprite work look soooo amazing.
And we are getting all the Capcom vs SF and Marvel 2D fighters in a package soon too!!!
Joy Overload!!!

@8bitOG Agreed. A far better effort than most full games even though it’s a DLC

Elden Ring. Still. I know it came out last year. Haha

People that complain about the difficulty should go play Assassin’s Creed or something else where you can button mash your way to victory.
It’s fantastic that there are a few games here and there that don’t compromise on difficulty. We are allowed to have different types of games. The people that want everything sanitised and simple are insufferably dull.

One of the few Capcom franchises that doesn’t really do anything for me. I tried to play the ones on ps4 but it seemed buggy and boring to me.

I don’t care how hard this is. High difficulty suits the style of game. The people that complain about FROM difficulty don’t bother to experiment with builds and using different weapons and armour. They just sit on metacritic and whine like babies about a game that might not be suited to them. There’s always Assassin’s Creed or Ghosts Of Tsushima of God Of War for those gamers.

@MattBoothDev compared to what? I’m not offended. It takes more than that to offend me.
What equivalent game in the the same genre has better controls? “In your opinion” of course…

@MattBoothDev controls aren’t even close to rubbish. Sounds like you are bad at them.

Completely agree. Difficultly options and easy mode are for gamers too lazy to play the game as intended. There are plenty of other games to play if you want your hand held.

@TheFakulty I had no idea this existed. Is it still available to buy digitally or otherwise?

They didn’t mention how it will be improved. SUS.

@TheArt being able to afford games has nothing to do with metacritic. If you’re a gamer and can’t predict what type of games that will appeal to you, I don’t know what to tell you 🙄

@TheArt that may be, but gauging anything’s value on metacritic is laughable at best. It’s a neck beard’s paradise.

This is a very bizarre crossover.

Will you be giving Konami your cash? This title could very easily be a pile of garbage….

@TrickyDicky99 and what’s that got to do with the topic of the article? Neither Nintendo or Sony are headed towards that.

@TrickyDicky99 sega publish on all platforms. What do you mean?

Keen for this!! The game was great. The first movie was great - and dare I say it, the remake of the movie was pretty good too!

Losers gatekeeping IPs based on childish system-wars are peak cringe. Who cares if a game is on multiple platforms? It literally doesn’t matter. 🙄

What kind of game is this, exactly?

Combo driven action doesn’t appeal to me. I like the deliberate and non-flashy style of other action RPGS.

Didn’t dark souls two have more trophies?
Anyway, not having them for a hugely anticipated DLC is so weird and stupid

I know I’m in the minority but I’ve always hated these games. The humour is cringe and the shooting mechanics just feel “off”. Then there’s the endless bullet sponge enemies with boring battles that just go on and on…

Why are we still seeing games developed for obsolete systems? It literally brings down the experience for current consoles….

@wildcat_kickz exactly! Who green lit this? It’s a hilarious choice!!

Such a weird choice for a game in 2024. The film is kind of obscure to be honest!

@Flaming_Kaiser good point. Or how many people were cheap and entitled and only bought the games on half price despite them reviewing well? The industry doesn’t sustain itself
