I seldom dip into multiplayer games but factions was an exception to me. Spent hours on it, gutted when ps3 servers shut down. Delighted with TLOU being ps plus game, gutted to hear no factions on TLOU2, delighted to read the above news. Been a bit of a roller-coaster recently for my invested emotions in this upcoming game...
Id love the last of us to be offered. Particularly as they killed the ps3 servers for factions earlier this month, outbreak day a few days away and the news about to drop concerning TLOU2 in a few short hours.. Perfect storm no?
Perhaps naughty dog will come clean that they unable to reach expectations about LOU2. Cancel it and release a new game based on a cross between space invaders and populous... FTS.. Hype is doing me in..
I remember the days when new games would just turn up in the shop. No reviews, no teasers you just had to take a punt on the box art and screen shot on back cover. Im excited about TLOU2 but the hype is too much. Although im strangely addicted to pushsquare news... Sigh.. I miss the old days
@ellsworth004 I’ve had a few hours on it now and I must say it’s not bad. Takes patience and memorising the controls is a bit of a mission. Good fun and will be a challenge for sometime to come. It’s a welcome break from graphic rich environments. Sorry, I’m no game reviewer but for me it’s a 7/10.
1st game I’ve ever pre ordered. Played for a few hours, enjoying roaming around and doing stuff in random order...probably the wrong way to play but I care not.. It’s glitchy and I understand why some folks have a real problem with it. It’s certainly not what I expected. Saying that’s I’m about 10 hours in and have probably scratched the surface. Nevertheless, I see me spending a lot more time on this game. I’ve stumbled across some hordes and cleaned out bandit camps in which the AI is abysmal. I recon this will go on to better things and I’m sure I’ll be along for the long ride... I like apocalyptic zombie esque fiction. Never played far cry or uncharted so this style of game is all newish to me..
After 3 years of excitement about this game I have decided that the most meaningful review will come from myself in due course... I’ve really enjoyed being hyped about this game and while I have read a lot of reviews about it so far (1st being here) I remain psyched to be able to play it tonight. I guess I must add that the only open world games I’ve played are HZD which I really enjoyed and RDR on ps3 which became overshadowed by Last of Us... so Days Gone should present some new things to me?
I see game UK now have collectors edition with statue... something going on...as stated in previous posts, never bought a game in advance before...hope my critical analysis of 40 years of gaming doesn’t let me down....
Played Ratchet & Clank for a few hours last night... aiming for my 1st ever platinum trophy... although Fridays event may put that on hold until the winter...
@BAMozzy I hope your wrong... never pre ordered before. Managed to get in quick enough at Game to get statue version.. will suck if it don’t arrive until the Monday...I’ll be bouncing if that’s the case!
This game is reason why I bought a ps pro. I’ve never bought a game in advance before... and I’ve bought physical collectors edition and digital version..... I dunno, I’m obsessed with it... damm Bend studios, never even heard of them or Syphon Filter before this was previewed however many years ago... kinda enjoying the ride!
@get2sammyb This not a zombie game from what I’m reading here and in others who have had similar experience as yourself.
The freakers have behaviours different to usual zombie type games which has piqued my interest since I seen it a long time ago. I don’t know of other zombie games where they ‘nest’, ‘feed’ or react to environmental changes. If you had to draw a comparison to another ‘zombie’ game to describe Days Gone... what would it be? Cheers!
The cut scenes make games interesting for those who don’t like to play ... my misses for one. She loved watching me play TLOU2, took an active part in Detroit... and that one cut scene stitched into another no? She currently enjoying Resident Evil 2... make makes my gaming more acceptable to her...I am 46... I’m psyched for this game and 6 hours of cut scenes is no bad thing... I can cope with that. Rather 6 hrs of decent story telling over 6mins of poor game play, but then that’s just me
I’m just focusing on the here and now. Days Gone is on my radar and that’s all that matters to me right now... TLOU2 - sure I’m hyped about that but one thing at a time....
If I had one question I guess it would be.. how long has it taken to create this game? I know I seen the 1st preview about 3 years ago and I guess a lot if work had gone into it before then? I know nothing about game development but enjoy playing them. How big is the team? And if each person on the team does a 35 hour week how much time has that translated into. Probably a nerdy question but it would satisfy my intrigue... this is probably my most anticipated game ever... and I’ve been gaming for probably around 40 years... thanks!
Looks good and I’m likely to purchase... L4D (which it’s being compared to) will always have a place in my heart... so this may help fill the void. Not bothered no multiplayer on Days Gone, probably a good thing, more focus on main event... Last of us 2 multiplayer, that’s something I’m getting excited about ...I still own ps3 because of the multiplayer on “the last of us” . a well underrated gem of a game that is, in my opinion... a few rounds of that gives me a cardio workout like no other...

PS3 gets Regular attention - TLOU factions drags me in continuously. Got heaps of games on it to work through...
Re: You Can Stream Days Gone's Theme Song on Spotify
I’d put a bet on this game being up there with TLOU ... providing there aren’t tons of side missions and needless distractions.
