Could have been re-titled "How the gaming industry gaslights everyone when things don't go their way". With the exception of Days Gone (although, I am liking Homefront: The Revolution, but it's clearly not in its original state), these guys need to sit down, shut up and learn from their mistakes, and not blame us for their decision to put shareholders first.
Yeah, I don't get the hate for Homefront The Revolution... I've had so much fun in it and after all these missions, I'm still playing "cat and mouse" because of how hard the fights are and how underpowered I am. It truly feels like you are in a resistence. I never had such an experience before!
@@4400seriesFAN Its launch was awful and it’s still unpolished to this day, but I love the experience and the atmosphere. Hiding from Korean airships as occasional announcements in a language I don’t understand blare through war-torn streets is really tense, and I really wish the riots and disorder of the Yellow Zones were replicated in another open-world game, even if they were ultimately just mandatory Ubisoft checklist zones. The co-op really should have been scrapped though.
@@onemorescout Yeah, but unfortunately, today, most of the games have massive issues at launch. This no longer is a reason for a game to fail. Though it should be and when Homefront released it was not so common...
Yup. Same. I was looking forward to this but disappointed in the reviews so I was on the fence with it. Having played it I wish I'd goine with my gut and got it at launch. I genuinally think that the reviewers who gave this a bad score just didn't play it long enough. I know it took it's time to "get going" but I don't see that as a fault at all when looking at the game as a whole. Probably one of the best games I played on PS4.
I would have bought Days Gone at retail when it was released if it wasn't totally panned by reviewers. A majority of the reviews were mediocre so I didn't buy the game. When it was eventually released on PS plus, I gave it a chance and loved it. It's not perfect but it was a really fun game that in hindsight I would have had no problem paying for.
Well, stop listening to people when they tell you what to buy. Do what I do, check out gameplay videos instead of reviews. I seldom listen to the opinions of reviewers because literally everyone has different opinions on what is fun.
Reason number 1: They didn't fail they only "failed" when compared to unrealistic expactations. Days Gone is actually a prime example. It sold well enough for what it was. A fresh IP from an unproven studio but apparently it was a failure cause it didn't sell at God of War numbers. The recent Guardians of the Galaxy is another. All outsiders expected a flop after the mess they made of Avengers but it was unexpectadly good and word of mouth will have shifted far more copies than most of us expected but hey it wasn't a mega hit so it's a failure.
There’s one flaw in your argument, days gone wasn’t what was promised the dev overhyped and under performed, it’s literally the exact opposite for GoG everyone was expecting it to fail and it turned out to be a very solid game, it received steady 9/10 where as days gone received a solid 7/10 Days Gone had numerous graphical problems, AI issues, and overall jank that showed its devs inability to deliver what was promised.
@@Bonesaw_McGraw so they last made a mainline title in 2007, had only made 3 games after that all spin-offs all for secondary platforms. They turned uncharted into a card collecting game, did a second vita uncharted game, and produced the resistance PSP game only one of the 3 got decent reviews and it’s because the game released along side it’s console counterpart. Bend was majorily unproven as a dev. Having made a good series on the PS1 tech doesn’t necessarily translate to making a game on the PS4 Dayz Gone had clunky animations, a tired story, an all to firmiliar post apocalypse, and did nothing to further open world games it just exists as another of the middling examples of what biting off more than you can chew looks like
Deadlines, to me, are the one reason why indie games seem to have become so much better than the majority of AAA games lately, or at least not as bug-ridden. Indie games are generally not bound to deadlines - the games are ready when the devs say they're ready, and not when the executives/shareholders want it to be ready. Usually this means that indie developers can do all the testing and debugging they need to so that they're not putting out an unfinished game, while AAA developers often have to rush what might seem like an unfinished game out the door to please the shareholders.
Also, I think too many AAA publishers invest in their advertising push too early in a game's development. Then that forces developers to meet unrealistic deadlines because executives at the publishing company expect the product to fall within a certain fiscal quarter or year. On the other hand, a lot of indie developers drip-feed and tease titles for a while, showing realistic progress as development continues.
100% and add to that, more pressure on AAA’s to meet certain content requirements, profit margins, advertising etc. Indie’s are genuinely more a passion project and operate almost a cost recovery model where some crack profit if their game is hot AF.
Dude t really let me down when they said Days Gone 2 wasn't going to happen. I really really enjoyed the first one, even with its flaws, and really thought that ending was gonna lead to something twice as good in the sequel. Like maybe they could've focused more on the story and brought out a masterpiece... guess we'll never know now.
Imagine rushing a game out the door in order to gain maximum profit, thereby leaving it filled with numerous bugs glitches and lackluster gameplay, then when people criticize you for it you blame your developers for your divorce.
Any time I see Days Gone on a list I always make my obligatory "I'm still hoping for a sequel" post. I ended up buying it on launch but I never followed the game pre-launch. I learned about it maybe a week before it came out and I just said to myself "that looks kinda fun" and I wasn't knee deep in any games at the time so I just grabbed it. It's def worth the money I paid IMO I've put many hours into the game.
Days Gone is a really awesome game. I’ve never been so submerged into a game like Days Gone. There are a lot of things to do and the story was awesome, especially the secret ending.
I bought a copy when it first released but only played about an hour due to my backlog ..... Does it pick up after the first hour like a lot of other games do ?
@@kittychancool888 I would say not until you get to your second base (Iron Mike's camp I believe). Until then, you get fetch it quests mainly. Pick flowers for Boomer, grab supplies and decide who gets them, that sort of stuff. It's an okay game but way too overhyped by fans. Stick with your backlog
@@elatrocidad5953 each his own my friend days gone for me was amazing more then I expected I think a few tweaks could have made the story better less predictable but over all I loved it
@@kittychancool888 That's the exact problem, its slow in the beginning for a couple hours and changes into another game soon after. Most reviewers only play the first few hours of every game to desperately rush a review out fast.
Sony have literally the most ridiculous reasons for reasons why Days Gone didn't do great at launch and not wanting to make a sequel to the game. The real reason for mixed reviews are some bullshit critic reviewers who clearly didn't spend more than 1-2 hours playing the game, so it resulted in people thinking it wouldn't be anything special. But after some time when playthrough series were published by TH-camrs, people really saw what this game was about and nowadays whichever site you go to, Days Gone always has over 90% out of 100 positive reviews or either almost 5 stars.
I got the days gone as a ps plus game, but damn it's one of my favorite games of all time. I got it '' full price '' for PC just to play it on my ultrawide. Totally underrated game and its a shame if it will never get a sequel
I got Days Gone at launch. I honestly wasn't even excited for it, I'm just often looking for the next new game to play while ignoring my backlog. I enjoyed it. I didn't care much for the story, especially the main romance, but the gameplay was solid.
I’m really hoping days gone 2 gets a chance because I swear days gone is one of my all time favorites the dark vibe it gets, it’s amazing riding around in the rain while the monsters chase u sucha dope feel to the game days gone was Sony bends 1st ps4 game and for it to be their first one it was dam good ! It was better than most big franchise games I enjoyed it way way better than Valhalla and odyssey
I pre-ordered Days Gone and I loved it upon release. The story , the side quests , the continuous gameplay. All worth while. Make Days Gone 2 happen Sony.
I would sign a petition to make this happen. Days gone was by far my favorite playstation exclusive, I absolutely loved the storyline and was absolutely glued to the game long after beating it the first time. I really did enjoy ghosts of tsushima as well but when that game was done it felt over, when as opposed when u get to the end of days gone it feels as though it just started and at least I for 1 was even more hyped for a second one. Days gone was so good not only did I pre order it at full price but so did my buddie who game shares with me because we enjoyed it that much
Days Gone, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Mafia and most of this list all have the same reason for failure - released before the game was finished. Developers really need to stop relying on patches to “finish” their games. Poor reviews or fan reception may not give you a second chance. Days Gone is the one that really bugs me the most here. As most players did, I played this well after launch and loved every minute. All the critical hate was for the original buggy game that most players never saw.
@@MrSkullMerchant same. And honestly mafia 3 had one of the best campaigns ive played in the past couple years. Absolutely loved clayton and how well they depicted the era and legitimate problems without giving into the pc bs you see in all digital mediums now
Days Gone was fantastic but I keep seeing it in underwhelming games lists somehow. It was perfectly paced and had a great storyline as well as a unique take on zombies in games
Agreed. Its a damn shame that game was treated the way it was. It deserves a sequel a million times more than The Last Of Us 1 getting a remake already (I'm aware its different studios). Its just that these days AAA and even some AA studios aren't willing to work on something that isn't almost guaranteed to make a billion dollars. Its truly sad. I think we'll get a Days Gone sequel eventually though. Its just not going to happen as soon as it would have and probably won't get as much funding as it should (kinda like Darksiders 3).
The difference between the negative reviews and what I actually experienced with Days Gone was shocking. Made me question the skill and/or motivations of the reviewers. Regrettably waited 2 years to play. Mostly because of the embarrassingly inaccurate reviews.
100% and even though you could argue there was a lot of repetition in missions, they were genuinely fun to play through, and found interesting ways of staying entertaining. Collecting the authentic Playboys was a nice touch.
Still haven’t played mafia 3, the negative reviews kinda put me off. I do remember how quickly it was on sale in game stores though, it took a few weeks and then the used section was full of mafia 3 at half price.
yeah same I really enjoyed mafia 3 and people calling repetitive and boring I never felt like it was boring and repetitive I think it really good and I really liked the dlc and where really fun
Industry example of “get gud” That said, Halo was a massive return to form for that franchise and was probably one too the top titles last year - at least in my opinion.
I played Days Gone a few days after launch and my major issue with it was the amount of bugs. I left the game alone for 6 months till they ironed them out. Other than that, it was a great game.
Days gone is one of the best games I ever played, finished it with a plat trophy, seen even secret ending. I wish I had amnesia so I can play that game over and over again without knowing how missions will play out
I agree. It’s a game I put a lot of hours on because I saw the potential it had. If another developer were to remake this game it could be something special I just don’t think BioWare knows how to handle a game like this.
That's part of why it sucks that the game was sent out to die. The combat was actually great, and the traversal worked. It needed a better [read: good] story and significant post-endgame content.
I really enjoyed Mafia 3, even with the bugs I ran into. I found the story really good and even while repetitive, I liked the missions. Days Gone is really good. My biggest issue is it felt a few hours too long. When it felt like there was a natural ending, it just kept going.
I wish days gone was longer r u nuts that game was awesome how could u get made at a game to long i alwys want more and more to do especially in an amazing world like that
It don’t cost nothin’ to be friendly, polite and compassionate. Wonder why more people don’t do it. And what’s with all the multiplayer hate huh? I get smashed online, and I just say thanks for the game you smashed me, well done.
My problem with blaming the bugs in ME: Andromeda is I see GTA V and all its bugs and people laugh at those. So bugs alone is not the issue. Andromeda failed because of two reasons in my book. Nothing was going to live up to ME2's hype. And people loved jumping on the media bus to laugh at a game they may not have even played. I say that last because the eye movement clip is the same one everywhere. Like one person took a clip and shared it with everyone. You want to gripe graphics, argue how changing from the uneditable base character to any other felt like a graphics down grade. Heck all I wanted to do was Change Sara's hair colour. But no, brand new face if you go that route. Or put in misdone priorities. Ooh how I set up the twins will change dad's face? The guy you will only see in the intro. . .
My complaints with Andromeda was that it was just overall underwhelming. Not a bad game by any stretch, but generally nothing about it really stuck out to me like any of the previous Mass Effect games.
@@rikusawada6113 That is perfectly acceptable criticism. It is the acting like it is so broken, when not holding other titles to even half the standards.
And the way the way your character changed after the day one patch . Played the beta and loaded that save on launch and my character looked nothing like the one I had played and saved on beta
I have mad respect for the guy who realized he was letting his politics get in the way of his game. That takes a lot of maturity that most people lack.
I don’t remember hearing any of that stuff when that game came out. (Doesn’t mean it didn’t, I’m just saying.) I agree though, we’d all be better off realizing admitting mistakes is a good thing.
Politics had nothing to do with it though. It just wasn't a good game. Personally, I didn't even know there was a "woke" agenda around the game. I just played the free demo, thought it sucked, and moved on. I'm sure many did the same. Your average gamer doesn't pay attention to agenda and politics. They just play games they think are fun. People didn't think Lawbreakers was fun. Simple as that. Politics was just an excuse that guy used because he couldn't admit the game wasn't fun.
LawBreakers had an amazing soundtrack But it was a victim of its own developers' mindset. Boss Key Productions were trend chasers. Whatever multiplayer games were popular at the time, that's what they duplicated. They tried to cash in on the hero shooter with LawBreakers. After LB was released, a development roadmap was posted. 2 maps and one new mode later, Boss Key scrapped the roadmap halfway through when the game suffered commercially. Then less than a year after LB was released, Boss Key released a battle royal game. So instead of sticking with LB to try to fix and improve it, they instead focused on the next cash grab.
Every time I think about Days Gone having its sequel canned I get genuinely upset. One of the better open world zombie games with an awesome motorcycle mechanic.
So many people have shared this sentiment that it's literally impossible they haven't at least put some thought in to a sequel. It will happen but they need to justify it. Unreal 5 may do that. Imagine the hoarde sizes lol, pouring over walls and climbing over eachother like World War Z
If all of these gaming companies would stop releasing broken buggy messes at launch I would be more than happy to pay full price. Days Gone is worth full price now, it wasn't worth it when it first came out.
as long as hardcore nerds buy and pay a game immediatly after release and even PRE ORDERING them.... there is no incentive for a publisher to get a "finished" Product since it's already making money.
"NO man's sky" had ENORMOUS PROMISES but it took SO LONG to legit release in a working manner for $60 that people were making riot groups to storm the devs with pitchforks and tar. BUT IT IS LEGITIMATELY A FANTASTIC GAME NOW! The dev team just needed time to bring it to life.
Am I the only person who misremembers Brutal Legend. I remember the RTS part of it, but I didn’t t remember it being THAT big a part of the game as the many, many times it’s been referenced on this channel indicates.
DAYS GONE DESERVED BETTER. And we need a sequel.😩 Mafia 3 was a disappointment?? Mafia 3 is the best game in the series. The best story, and personally I found the gameplay loop fun.
Same 100% I don’t remember hitting any bugs either, but lots of people say Mafia 3 was full of them. Authentic Playboy collectibles were a nice touch too.
Jules, being "too woke" is a VERY valid complaint in this day and age and is why you will often often see a reviewer vs player split in whether or not they like a game. It's gotten to the point that lots of gamers by default avoid games that get good critic reviews and look closer at the one's they give bad reviews. And you are right that politics have a place in games...but it has to be the GAME'S politics, not our own.
i never paid full price for a game i wait till its half off or free to get it now i have 300 pc games and only paid for 30 of them thanks epic games and the virus a lot free games came out during that time.

A days gone sequel will happen. Release the damn thing and let the single player gamers play it. Money isn't a problem. Let the hardware decide. The PS5 has a better and faster CPU at launch than the PS4 at launch. A days gone sequel can show it off with insane hordes! Haha
Day's Gone was the one that deserved better. I was glad I got it for free, but I would of brought it if it was actually promoted in anyway. I seriously had no idea that game existed until then 🤷♂️
Cod vanguard failed cause its horrible balancing issues and wanting too be historically incorrect so they could include women in the battlefield even though history shows that not to be true. Other factors were being too greedy instead of fixing problems that people wanted too get rid of aka quickscopers, campers, ect they wanted people too buy battle passes and have ridiculous outfits.
Poor release time is an actual problem and not dumb at all, games will receive way better sales if it didn't get released side by side with a well known studio that had a very hefty trailers and gameplay trailers
The funniest thing in here is calling Halo Infinite polished. Last I knew, my Steam version wouldn’t even load the main menu in a stable way. It would crash shortly after showing it. Never mind navigating through the menus to actually play, or even trying to skip it by accepting a party invite immediately. It literally became UNPLAYABLE with the s2 update. I still maintain they disabled Steam versions so people could stop using the Steam Player Count to ridicule them. But honestly, after calling people who complained about the Battle Pass “Moochers Of Reach” and the Juneteenth-Bonobo thing… F 343. They clearly don’t like Halo or it’s fans, anyway. They don’t make good Halo games. They can’t even Executive Produce a decent Halo series. And they complain about the people keeping them in business? As long as they’re in charge, I think I’m done with Halo.
im still hoping for a sequel to days gone the only reason i bought mine copy preowned is by the time i got my ps4 the game was no longer selling new copies in stores but i still love it. it is one of my favorite ps4 games
Like how EA's general excuse was to blame their competition for having a better game,instead of acknowledging the fact that EA itself rushes games out in just barely playable states

@@chadflanaganCFC oh and dont forget how so many western companys got mad that Elden Ring did better than their games and proceeded to trash Elden Ring. Saying it was a crappy game, it made no sense, had bad graphics etc... Butthurt manchildren and Karens they arw.
Days Gone was entertaining enough to deserve a follow-up, but it had its share of issues, including frame-rate drops, underdeveloped characters, side stories that felt unfinished, and repetitive missions. These things could have been fixed in a sequel.
"Buy the game at full price"... what a load of garbage. They were just being petulant. When the game was full price, it was never on my radar. Even so, full price games are getting more and more ridiculously priced. I understand that there is a lot of money going into developing these games... but the bulk of consumers do not have an extra 60-80 bucks the throw at new games. Especially when there are Legacy games coming out in the same time period. Often times, new games with new Concepts and untested characters don't do well at first and develop a cult following, such as days gone had. But the whole purpose of having these new invasive game systems that are always online Is so that the makers of said games, can track the popularity and resurgence of them so that they can know when the right time is to release the sequel. Had some entrepreneurial programmer showed some initiative, they could have had the initiative to start programming the sequel, they could have struck while the iron was hot in the middle of it achieving its cult status... but when they saw the rising number of players, they dismissed it and didn't prepare for a sequel, and they know at this point that the longer the wait with cult fame, the less opportunity for return they will have. So, instead they hit you with righteous indignation and petulance for their lack of foresight.
Same, although the first MoH immediately before it was more engaging. But the dev team did a great job of speaking with actual tier one operators to make the in game dialogue authentic.
Days Gone was the first game I downloaded when I got my PS5 last year but it never really clicked with me. Gone back to it in the last few months and now I get it. Definitely a bit of a slow burn but when I started levelling up and delving more in to its world I finally fell in love. Crying shame we will never see a sequel. Peace.
Props for sticking to it, too many gamers these days need immediate gratification before they rage quit and trash talk the game forever. At least giving something a fair go! I was like this with Red Dead 2, went back 18 months after release and finally saw what everyone else was seeing.
Days Gone is an amazing game that was a victim of having too many bugs at launch. This killed the game's momentum, but if you have the new Playstation Plus service, give DG a try. It's the only zombie game where I had anxiety roaming the world.
The only version of Unreal Tournament that didn't have an Unreal4Ever mod. *MIGHT* be a connection. Also can't help but to notice that a few years after Unreal4Ever stopped being made, CliffyB ran out of good gameplay ideas. Maybe Epic should have backed their #1 mod instead of chasing Counter-Str1ke. :p
Number 5 is pretty much all around in the game industry, the whole "it's ok" defense won you another 🧢. Focus on making a great game instead of your selfish political pandering beliefs, no sane mind want that social media Twitter nonsense shoved into our entertainment 🙄.
I remember when war fighter came out, there was a MASSIVE news media campaign to have the game pulled from the shelves for being too “realistic” and “insensitive to veterans” which actually did have some serious pull outside of the reviews you mentioned.
Brutal Legend is a CLASSIC and if you’re a metal head (like me) this game is your magnum opus. Getting to see so many Metal gods like Ozzy, Lemmy, and Halford and so many iconic Metal Album covers come to life while blaring Symptom Of The Universe, Children of the Grave, Fast As A Shark, In The Black, and Cry Of The Banshee in a crazy chrome hotrod (or a monster) CAN NOT BE BEAT. Not even DOOM, Far Cry Blood Dragon, or Warhammer gets anywhere close to as metal as Brutal Legend!
Medal Of Honor (2010) had great multiplayer and felt diffrent from the other big FPS games (COD and BF) but Medal Of Honor: Warfighter lost its identity, and just felt like another COD copy.
DAYS GONE rocks as a game. Interesting story, varying objectives, some focus on feelings and human nature, stealth, motorcycle riding (biker myself), no stupid multiplayer, no stupid first person, what's not to like :D
It's 1000% tragic Sony denied Bend Studios' proposal for a Days Gone sequel. I'm legit bummed af about that. I mean, forreal, it's an absolute terribly buffoon-ish and aloof ridiculous nonsensical decision by the Sony Playstation higher-ups, IMO.
Sorry, but Homefront The Revolution is a VERY good game! And it is THE ONLY game in History that actually makes you play as if you truly are part of a resistence movement. Yes, the game was super rushed at launch, but after patching it (still has glitches), there is an AWESOME game underneath.
Mafia 3 was awesome the real reason most people didn't like it because it featured a black protagonist and didn't focus on the traditional 1930's 40's 50's gangster mafia SMH. Days Gone was ok just another zombie game in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Say what you want, but there is - No.Worse "ill time release" in all gaming history as "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines" in THE SAME DAY AS "HL - 2" - 16 -th Nov 2004.
Look if games like Valorant or Paladins thrives in the gaming industry amongst Overwatch or CSGO Then LawBreakers could have done the same too,But The Devolper HAD to pull up that stupid "Gone Woke" Statement and that instantly killed that franchise which is a fucking damn shame because it could have been a great game :/
As a life long console player, I bought Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 in like 2010 from a used game sale at Gamestop...never played the series before, but it was like $8, so I bit. And I loved it...I had nothing to compare it to but I still had a blast with it. Still kind of gutted we never got an Unreal Tournament 4.
Ah, Days Gone - this tedious slog of a game, with cardboard characters, comically grunting protagonist, unexciting zombies (although the hordes were awesome, but by the time you actually get to fight them, you're bored out of your skull) and the least inspired love story in gaming. "Ride me as much as you ride your bike". Somebody wrote that. And that asshole blaming fans for not buying a silly, boring, generic-looking, mechanically-bare, critically-panned game at full price.
😂😂😂how can you blame a game for being too polished compared to the 💩 you put out yourself? I didn’t play 2042 but I never wanted to. Same with with the last couple of COD titles. They got very lazy with the campaigns and I don’t like to grind out the multiplayer stuff, I’d rather put my time into something that has a story and a little more challenge then anything COD can offer.
If days gone gets a sequel I would pay any amount of money, the only reason I discovered days gone is because it was on sale
Could have been re-titled "How the gaming industry gaslights everyone when things don't go their way".

Deadlines, to me, are the one reason why indie games seem to have become so much better than the majority of AAA games lately, or at least not as bug-ridden.
Indie games are generally not bound to deadlines - the games are ready when the devs say they're ready, and not when the executives/shareholders want it to be ready. Usually this means that indie developers can do all the testing and debugging they need to so that they're not putting out an unfinished game, while AAA developers often have to rush what might seem like an unfinished game out the door to please the shareholders.
Also, I think too many AAA publishers invest in their advertising push too early in a game's development. Then that forces developers to meet unrealistic deadlines because executives at the publishing company expect the product to fall within a certain fiscal quarter or year.
On the other hand, a lot of indie developers drip-feed and tease titles for a while, showing realistic progress as development continues.
100% and add to that, more pressure on AAA’s to meet certain content requirements, profit margins, advertising etc.
Indie’s are genuinely more a passion project and operate almost a cost recovery model where some crack profit if their game is hot AF.
Stray is good
@@dvdbox360 I said the majority.
Dude t really let me down when they said Days Gone 2 wasn't going to happen. I really really enjoyed the first one, even with its flaws, and really thought that ending was gonna lead to something twice as good in the sequel. Like maybe they could've focused more on the story and brought out a masterpiece... guess we'll never know now.
Imagine rushing a game out the door in order to gain maximum profit, thereby leaving it filled with numerous bugs glitches and lackluster gameplay, then when people criticize you for it you blame your developers for your divorce.
Or they blame the fans and customers.
Yep
I loved Days Gone. Gameplay was good. I actually loved the story too. Sad a sequel never happened.
Any time I see Days Gone on a list I always make my obligatory "I'm still hoping for a sequel" post.
I ended up buying it on launch but I never followed the game pre-launch. I learned about it maybe a week before it came out and I just said to myself "that looks kinda fun" and I wasn't knee deep in any games at the time so I just grabbed it.
It's def worth the money I paid IMO I've put many hours into the game.
Days Gone is a really awesome game.
I’ve never been so submerged into a game like Days Gone.
There are a lot of things to do and the story was awesome, especially the secret ending.
I bought a copy when it first released but only played about an hour due to my backlog ..... Does it pick up after the first hour like a lot of other games do ?
@@kittychancool888 I would say not until you get to your second base (Iron Mike's camp I believe). Until then, you get fetch it quests mainly. Pick flowers for Boomer, grab supplies and decide who gets them, that sort of stuff. It's an okay game but way too overhyped by fans. Stick with your backlog
@@elatrocidad5953 each his own my friend days gone for me was amazing more then I expected I think a few tweaks could have made the story better less predictable but over all I loved it
@@kittychancool888 That's the exact problem, its slow in the beginning for a couple hours and changes into another game soon after. Most reviewers only play the first few hours of every game to desperately rush a review out fast.
@@kittychancool888 Tbh, it can wait...
Sony have literally the most
ridiculous reasons for reasons why Days Gone didn't do great at launch and not wanting to make a sequel to the game.
The real reason for mixed reviews are some bullshit critic reviewers who clearly didn't spend more than 1-2 hours playing the game, so it resulted in people thinking it wouldn't be anything special. But after some time when playthrough series were published by TH-camrs, people really saw what this game was about and nowadays whichever site you go to, Days Gone always has over 90% out of 100 positive reviews or either almost 5 stars.
I got the days gone as a ps plus game, but damn it's one of my favorite games of all time. I got it '' full price '' for PC just to play it on my ultrawide. Totally underrated game and its a shame if it will never get a sequel
I got Days Gone at launch. I honestly wasn't even excited for it, I'm just often looking for the next new game to play while ignoring my backlog. I enjoyed it. I didn't care much for the story, especially the main romance, but the gameplay was solid.
I’m really hoping days gone 2 gets a chance because I swear days gone is one of my all time favorites the dark vibe it gets, it’s amazing riding around in the rain while the monsters chase u sucha dope feel to the game days gone was Sony bends 1st ps4 game and for it to be their first one it was dam good ! It was better than most big franchise games I enjoyed it way way better than Valhalla and odyssey
Days gone was so fun
I pre-ordered Days Gone and I loved it upon release.
The story , the side quests , the continuous gameplay. All worth while.
Make Days Gone 2 happen Sony.
I would sign a petition to make this happen. Days gone was by far my favorite playstation exclusive, I absolutely loved the storyline and was absolutely glued to the game long after beating it the first time. I really did enjoy ghosts of tsushima as well but when that game was done it felt over, when as opposed when u get to the end of days gone it feels as though it just started and at least I for 1 was even more hyped for a second one. Days gone was so good not only did I pre order it at full price but so did my buddie who game shares with me because we enjoyed it that much
Days Gone, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Mafia and most of this list all have the same reason for failure - released before the game was finished. Developers really need to stop relying on patches to “finish” their games. Poor reviews or fan reception may not give you a second chance.
Days Gone is the one that really bugs me the most here. As most players did, I played this well after launch and loved every minute. All the critical hate was for the original buggy game that most players never saw.
I played days gone day 1 when it was 'buggy' and honestly i hardly ever experienced any bugs and the ones i did was nothing to moan about
@@MrSkullMerchant same. And honestly mafia 3 had one of the best campaigns ive played in the past couple years. Absolutely loved clayton and how well they depicted the era and legitimate problems without giving into the pc bs you see in all digital mediums now
@@LAMBO_AKUMA his name was lincoln 😆 aha but yeah i agree iv beat mafia 3 about 4 times loved it 👍
Infinite should be on the list with problems it still has that 343 have not fixed, besides the game being dry as hell when it comes to 'content'.
@@OkamiToge bioshock infinite?? Cant think of any other infinites 😂
Days Gone was fantastic but I keep seeing it in underwhelming games lists somehow. It was perfectly paced and had a great storyline as well as a unique take on zombies in games
Freakers* - we don't use the z word around here.
Agreed. Its a damn shame that game was treated the way it was. It deserves a sequel a million times more than The Last Of Us 1 getting a remake already (I'm aware its different studios). Its just that these days AAA and even some AA studios aren't willing to work on something that isn't almost guaranteed to make a billion dollars. Its truly sad. I think we'll get a Days Gone sequel eventually though. Its just not going to happen as soon as it would have and probably won't get as much funding as it should (kinda like Darksiders 3).
The difference between the negative reviews and what I actually experienced with Days Gone was shocking.
Made me question the skill and/or motivations of the reviewers.
Regrettably waited 2 years to play. Mostly because of the embarrassingly inaccurate reviews.
I'm just so mad the 2nd was cancelled 😭
Mafia III was a game I enjoyed playing through, and it had an amazingly told story with amazingly realised characters.
100% and even though you could argue there was a lot of repetition in missions, they were genuinely fun to play through, and found interesting ways of staying entertaining. Collecting the authentic Playboys was a nice touch.
Still haven’t played mafia 3, the negative reviews kinda put me off.
I do remember how quickly it was on sale in game stores though, it took a few weeks and then the used section was full of mafia 3 at half price.
I loved it. It's just a shame that there's no mission replay option.
yeah same I really enjoyed mafia 3 and people calling repetitive and boring I never felt like it was boring and repetitive I think it really good and I really liked the dlc and where really fun
Blaming Halo's competent launch for their own failures is still one of my all-time favorites 😆
Industry example of “get gud”
That said, Halo was a massive return to form for that franchise and was probably one too the top titles last year - at least in my opinion.
I played Days Gone a few days after launch and my major issue with it was the amount of bugs. I left the game alone for 6 months till they ironed them out. Other than that, it was a great game.
Days gone is one of the best games I ever played, finished it with a plat trophy, seen even secret ending. I wish I had amnesia so I can play that game over and over again without knowing how missions will play out
Mihael, you don't remember me?
@@mikeking683 Damn, you got me there for a moment
@@mihaelvonic7900 👍🏼lol
Anthem has a genuinely great cobat engine behind it, hope it gets repurposed into a game with a real story and things to do
I agree. It’s a game I put a lot of hours on because I saw the potential it had. If another developer were to remake this game it could be something special I just don’t think BioWare knows how to handle a game like this.
Anthem is dead.
That's part of why it sucks that the game was sent out to die. The combat was actually great, and the traversal worked. It needed a better [read: good] story and significant post-endgame content.
I was one of them people that was waiting for Anthem 2.0, but twitter smoked my jaw and said "lmao Anthem's canceled".
I really enjoyed Mafia 3, even with the bugs I ran into. I found the story really good and even while repetitive, I liked the missions.
Days Gone is really good. My biggest issue is it felt a few hours too long. When it felt like there was a natural ending, it just kept going.
I wish days gone was longer r u nuts that game was awesome how could u get made at a game to long i alwys want more and more to do especially in an amazing world like that
I had to repurchase it at a cheaper price after they fixed alot of the bugs. Because at first it was damn near unplayable.
I felt that way about The Last Of Us 2. It should have ended at the farm house sequence but nah, they had to give Ellie a revenge arc
How do you know you love a game when you haven’t played it yet?
days gone deserved better
is a higher authourity after me help !!
Loved days gone
I really enjoyed warfighter... am I the only one? Sure its definitely not the best in the series but it was fun for me
i enjoyed both the medal of honour game and warfighter, had always been a fan of MoH from back in the ps1 days.
Days gone is amazing i recently replayed it on the ps5 after i fot a new tv and my lord. Mistake doing that one dirty.
Jules js really a gem, always has a kind thing to say at the end. Hope you are having a nice day to Jules and What culture gang.
It don’t cost nothin’ to be friendly, polite and compassionate. Wonder why more people don’t do it.
And what’s with all the multiplayer hate huh? I get smashed online, and I just say thanks for the game you smashed me, well done.
My problem with blaming the bugs in ME: Andromeda is I see GTA V and all its bugs and people laugh at those. So bugs alone is not the issue. Andromeda failed because of two reasons in my book. Nothing was going to live up to ME2's hype. And people loved jumping on the media bus to laugh at a game they may not have even played.
I say that last because the eye movement clip is the same one everywhere. Like one person took a clip and shared it with everyone. You want to gripe graphics, argue how changing from the uneditable base character to any other felt like a graphics down grade. Heck all I wanted to do was Change Sara's hair colour. But no, brand new face if you go that route. Or put in misdone priorities. Ooh how I set up the twins will change dad's face? The guy you will only see in the intro. . .
My complaints with Andromeda was that it was just overall underwhelming. Not a bad game by any stretch, but generally nothing about it really stuck out to me like any of the previous Mass Effect games.
@@rikusawada6113 That is perfectly acceptable criticism. It is the acting like it is so broken, when not holding other titles to even half the standards.
And the way the way your character changed after the day one patch . Played the beta and loaded that save on launch and my character looked nothing like the one I had played and saved on beta
I have mad respect for the guy who realized he was letting his politics get in the way of his game. That takes a lot of maturity that most people lack.
I don’t remember hearing any of that stuff when that game came out. (Doesn’t mean it didn’t, I’m just saying.) I agree though, we’d all be better off realizing admitting mistakes is a good thing.
Politics had nothing to do with it though. It just wasn't a good game. Personally, I didn't even know there was a "woke" agenda around the game. I just played the free demo, thought it sucked, and moved on. I'm sure many did the same. Your average gamer doesn't pay attention to agenda and politics. They just play games they think are fun. People didn't think Lawbreakers was fun. Simple as that. Politics was just an excuse that guy used because he couldn't admit the game wasn't fun.
LawBreakers had an amazing soundtrack
But it was a victim of its own developers' mindset.
Boss Key Productions were trend chasers. Whatever multiplayer games were popular at the time, that's what they duplicated. They tried to cash in on the hero shooter with LawBreakers. After LB was released, a development roadmap was posted. 2 maps and one new mode later, Boss Key scrapped the roadmap halfway through when the game suffered commercially.
Then less than a year after LB was released, Boss Key released a battle royal game. So instead of sticking with LB to try to fix and improve it, they instead focused on the next cash grab.
Every time I think about Days Gone having its sequel canned I get genuinely upset. One of the better open world zombie games with an awesome motorcycle mechanic.
So many people have shared this sentiment that it's literally impossible they haven't at least put some thought in to a sequel. It will happen but they need to justify it. Unreal 5 may do that. Imagine the hoarde sizes lol, pouring over walls and climbing over eachother like World War Z
If all of these gaming companies would stop releasing broken buggy messes at launch I would be more than happy to pay full price. Days Gone is worth full price now, it wasn't worth it when it first came out.
It feels like an alternate title could be, "The Worst Attempted Excuses in Games." Granted, I guess that could end up a much more dipping video.
as long as hardcore nerds buy and pay a game immediatly after release and even PRE ORDERING them.... there is no incentive for a publisher to get a "finished" Product since it's already making money.
"NO man's sky" had ENORMOUS PROMISES but it took SO LONG to legit release in a working manner for $60 that people were making riot groups to storm the devs with pitchforks and tar. BUT IT IS LEGITIMATELY A FANTASTIC GAME NOW! The dev team just needed time to bring it to life.
Am I the only person who misremembers Brutal Legend. I remember the RTS part of it, but I didn’t t remember it being THAT big a part of the game as the many, many times it’s been referenced on this channel indicates.
DAYS GONE DESERVED BETTER. And we need a sequel.😩
Mafia 3 was a disappointment?? Mafia 3 is the best game in the series. The best story, and personally I found the gameplay loop fun.
Same 100% I don’t remember hitting any bugs either, but lots of people say Mafia 3 was full of them.
Authentic Playboy collectibles were a nice touch too.
Days gone is a gem.
Woke media doesn't have a variety of personalities anyways.
Jules, being "too woke" is a VERY valid complaint in this day and age and is why you will often often see a reviewer vs player split in whether or not they like a game. It's gotten to the point that lots of gamers by default avoid games that get good critic reviews and look closer at the one's they give bad reviews.
And you are right that politics have a place in games...but it has to be the GAME'S politics, not our own.
Cliffy B is correct, wokeness can kill a game, a movie, or comic. That said, Lawbreakers was just meh as a game.
All facts, 100% ✌️
GET WOKE, GO BROKE.
when will they learn?
i never paid full price for a game i wait till its half off or free to get it now i have 300 pc games and only paid for 30 of them thanks epic games and the virus a lot free games came out during that time.

A days gone sequel will happen. Release the damn thing and let the single player gamers play it. Money isn't a problem. Let the hardware decide. The PS5 has a better and faster CPU at launch than the PS4 at launch. A days gone sequel can show it off with insane hordes! Haha
Day's Gone was the one that deserved better. I was glad I got it for free, but I would of brought it if it was actually promoted in anyway. I seriously had no idea that game existed until then 🤷♂️
Cod vanguard failed cause its horrible balancing issues and wanting too be historically incorrect so they could include women in the battlefield even though history shows that not to be true. Other factors were being too greedy instead of fixing problems that people wanted too get rid of aka quickscopers, campers, ect they wanted people too buy battle passes and have ridiculous outfits.
No the issues with Vanguard was THE HISTORICAL INACCURACIES and very VERY SHITTY CAMPAIGN STORY
I am sorry but Lawbreakers reasoning was exactly why I am many others I know didn't touch it. You may not like it, but Cliff was spot on.
Days Gone is a great game!
Maybe law breakers characters were boring and uninteresting because they were woke characters? Idk though, I haven’t played it before.
Hopefully the failure of Cyberpunk 2077 will make studios understand not to release a game until it's complete!
I thought mafia 3 was really fun
Poor release time is an actual problem and not dumb at all, games will receive way better sales if it didn't get released side by side with a well known studio that had a very hefty trailers and gameplay trailers
The funniest thing in here is calling Halo Infinite polished. Last I knew, my Steam version wouldn’t even load the main menu in a stable way. It would crash shortly after showing it. Never mind navigating through the menus to actually play, or even trying to skip it by accepting a party invite immediately. It literally became UNPLAYABLE with the s2 update. I still maintain they disabled Steam versions so people could stop using the Steam Player Count to ridicule them.
But honestly, after calling people who complained about the Battle Pass “Moochers Of Reach” and the Juneteenth-Bonobo thing… F 343. They clearly don’t like Halo or it’s fans, anyway. They don’t make good Halo games. They can’t even Executive Produce a decent Halo series. And they complain about the people keeping them in business? As long as they’re in charge, I think I’m done with Halo.
im still hoping for a sequel to days gone the only reason i bought mine copy preowned is by the time i got my ps4 the game was no longer selling new copies in stores but i still love it. it is one of my favorite ps4 games
In defence to days gone, I played it and it's truly underrated and its a shame that it won't get a sequel
Like how EA's general excuse was to blame their competition for having a better game,instead of acknowledging the fact that EA itself rushes games out in just barely playable states
They also frequently blame consumers to.
@@bunnygirlerika9489 more "healthy" practices towards the people who buy EA's products it's a wonder they make enough money to stay as one of the biggest gaming developers in the world
@@chadflanaganCFC because they monopolize things thats why.
Ain't that the truth
@@chadflanaganCFC oh and dont forget how so many western companys got mad that Elden Ring did better than their games and proceeded to trash Elden Ring. Saying it was a crappy game, it made no sense, had bad graphics etc... Butthurt manchildren and Karens they arw.
Days Gone was entertaining enough to deserve a follow-up, but it had its share of issues, including frame-rate drops, underdeveloped characters, side stories that felt unfinished, and repetitive missions. These things could have been fixed in a sequel.
We need Days Gone 2.
"Buy the game at full price"... what a load of garbage. They were just being petulant. When the game was full price, it was never on my radar. Even so, full price games are getting more and more ridiculously priced.
I understand that there is a lot of money going into developing these games... but the bulk of consumers do not have an extra 60-80 bucks the throw at new games. Especially when there are Legacy games coming out in the same time period. Often times, new games with new Concepts and untested characters don't do well at first and develop a cult following, such as days gone had. But the whole purpose of having these new invasive game systems that are always online Is so that the makers of said games, can track the popularity and resurgence of them so that they can know when the right time is to release the sequel.
Had some entrepreneurial programmer showed some initiative, they could have had the initiative to start programming the sequel, they could have struck while the iron was hot in the middle of it achieving its cult status... but when they saw the rising number of players, they dismissed it and didn't prepare for a sequel, and they know at this point that the longer the wait with cult fame, the less opportunity for return they will have. So, instead they hit you with righteous indignation and petulance for their lack of foresight.
Sorry about the giant run on sentence, I'll come back and fix it in post
Days Gone sold very well 10+ and that's very good for PS games
Days gone is awsome and never regretted buying it day 1
"players failing to connect with the message of the game" is the game failing.
Vanguard failed for this one reason and one reason only. I didn't buy it
The last 10-20 seconds is always heart warming, thanks
I loved warfighter the game was actually amazing and deserved more love.
Same, although the first MoH immediately before it was more engaging. But the dev team did a great job of speaking with actual tier one operators to make the in game dialogue authentic.
Love Jules but use xplays xample and leave politics out
Days Gone was the first game I downloaded when I got my PS5 last year but it never really clicked with me. Gone back to it in the last few months and now I get it. Definitely a bit of a slow burn but when I started levelling up and delving more in to its world I finally fell in love. Crying shame we will never see a sequel. Peace.
Props for sticking to it, too many gamers these days need immediate gratification before they rage quit and trash talk the game forever. At least giving something a fair go! I was like this with Red Dead 2, went back 18 months after release and finally saw what everyone else was seeing.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
If days gone was as good as it is now day one I would have got it
Days Gone was one of the best games even though it was a little grindy
Full price my ass. I refuse to pay more than 15 € for a game. It's a goddamn video game!
They have the audacity to ask 50$ for a game with no future sequels on the horizon. Such a joke.
Hey the original homefronts multiplayer was pretty good, pulled me away from cod for a little while
It was pretty damn good 👍I enjoyed the campaign to personally.
Days Gone is an amazing game that was a victim of having too many bugs at launch. This killed the game's momentum, but if you have the new Playstation Plus service, give DG a try. It's the only zombie game where I had anxiety roaming the world.
The only version of Unreal Tournament that didn't have an Unreal4Ever mod. *MIGHT* be a connection.
Also can't help but to notice that a few years after Unreal4Ever stopped being made, CliffyB ran out of good gameplay ideas.
Maybe Epic should have backed their #1 mod instead of chasing Counter-Str1ke. :p
Number 5 is pretty much all around in the game industry, the whole "it's ok" defense won you another 🧢.
Focus on making a great game instead of your selfish political pandering beliefs, no sane mind want that social media Twitter nonsense shoved into our entertainment 🙄.
I mean too woke is why a lot of things fail.
Thanks you for your video and channel
wokeness is better left outa games though
I remember when war fighter came out, there was a MASSIVE news media campaign to have the game pulled from the shelves for being too “realistic” and “insensitive to veterans” which actually did have some serious pull outside of the reviews you mentioned.
Brutal Legend is a CLASSIC and if you’re a metal head (like me) this game is your magnum opus.
Getting to see so many Metal gods like Ozzy, Lemmy, and Halford and so many iconic Metal Album covers come to life while blaring Symptom Of The Universe, Children of the Grave, Fast As A Shark, In The Black, and Cry Of The Banshee in a crazy chrome hotrod (or a monster) CAN NOT BE BEAT.
Not even DOOM, Far Cry Blood Dragon, or Warhammer gets anywhere close to as metal as Brutal Legend!
I ❤️ this video and channel
Medal Of Honor (2010) had great multiplayer and felt diffrent from the other big FPS games (COD and BF) but Medal Of Honor: Warfighter lost its identity, and just felt like another COD copy.
DAYS GONE rocks as a game. Interesting story, varying objectives, some focus on feelings and human nature, stealth, motorcycle riding (biker myself), no stupid multiplayer, no stupid first person, what's not to like :D
It's 1000% tragic Sony denied Bend Studios' proposal for a Days Gone sequel. I'm legit bummed af about that. I mean, forreal, it's an absolute terribly buffoon-ish and aloof ridiculous nonsensical decision by the Sony Playstation higher-ups, IMO.
Sorry, but Homefront The Revolution is a VERY good game! And it is THE ONLY game in History that actually makes you play as if you truly are part of a resistence movement. Yes, the game was super rushed at launch, but after patching it (still has glitches), there is an AWESOME game underneath.
Mafia 3 was awesome the real reason most people didn't like it because it featured a black protagonist and didn't focus on the traditional 1930's 40's 50's gangster mafia SMH. Days Gone was ok just another zombie game in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Say what you want, but there is - No.Worse "ill time release" in all gaming history as "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines" in THE SAME DAY AS "HL - 2" - 16 -th Nov 2004.
Look if games like Valorant or Paladins thrives in the gaming industry amongst Overwatch or CSGO
Then LawBreakers could have done the same too,But The Devolper HAD to pull up that stupid "Gone Woke" Statement and that instantly killed that franchise which is a fucking damn shame because it could have been a great game :/
As a life long console player, I bought Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 in like 2010 from a used game sale at Gamestop...never played the series before, but it was like $8, so I bit. And I loved it...I had nothing to compare it to but I still had a blast with it. Still kind of gutted we never got an Unreal Tournament 4.
Ah, Days Gone - this tedious slog of a game, with cardboard characters, comically grunting protagonist, unexciting zombies (although the hordes were awesome, but by the time you actually get to fight them, you're bored out of your skull) and the least inspired love story in gaming. "Ride me as much as you ride your bike". Somebody wrote that.
And that asshole blaming fans for not buying a silly, boring, generic-looking, mechanically-bare, critically-panned game at full price.
😂😂😂how can you blame a game for being too polished compared to the 💩 you put out yourself? I didn’t play 2042 but I never wanted to. Same with with the last couple of COD titles. They got very lazy with the campaigns and I don’t like to grind out the multiplayer stuff, I’d rather put my time into something that has a story and a little more challenge then anything COD can offer.
