Game is decent enough. The zombie hordes are cool and the motorcycling element is alright, but the developers are by no means based. The game contains its share of PC bullshit.
Then maybe on a discount. My biggest problem is that I do not like the games as movies type games. I like a good story but not when it is so much of the game.
I would argue that more important than having a movie-like story is the presentation and skippability of the story. I didn't play Days Gone but watched a streamer, and it looks like one of those games with unskippable walking exposition scenes. In fact the butt-appreciation scene itself is one of those. I absolutely hate that. Not only are you forced to listen to the same narrative on every playthrough, but you're forced to do so while participating in a faux interactivity segment that is neither fun nor immersive. (since they limit your walking speed in not-always-realistic ways)
But like I said I didn't play it so might be misremembering. Maybe the streamer could have hit Skip or walked away?
Oh, later on I think there's actually some forced stealth gameplay too. Where you have to sneak around some enemies and if they spot you, it restarts the mission. What is up with that?
Stealth's a big element of gameplay in Days Gone, actually. Sure, you can go in guns blazing, but sneaking up to shank zombies in the back for a one-hit kill is weirdly satisfying.
The 'forced stealth' parts are just when you can't kill anyone.
I haven't played it, looks like a movie/ game and I'm not a fan but if the story is good and the developers are based I'll give it a shot.
