I guess it's just me.Is it just me or does anyone else get a jarring slow when getting hit with a red laser from a sniper followed by a continue dialog and then shot off your bike. Every time.

Yes every time and it also always brings up a tutorial dialog that I have to hold X on.I'm not sure if I know exactly what you mean. When there is a sniper ambush there is a little slow motion effect when they manage to shoot you off your bike, but it's not entirely clear if that is what you meant or if you're having a separate issue where the game has bad frame-rate issues when you're targeted by a sniper's laser. The game does do a slow motion effect when you're shot off your bike and when you get clothes-lined in those ambushes.
It took me 6 weeks to play through. I still have a lot of hordes and a couple missions left. I'm not sure if I'll do the hordes. Maybe a few.
Some people said the game felt too long, stretched out. I didn't find that. It was a good length. I did almost all the side content.
You don’t like taking on the Hordes, why not?
I’m just asking because that one promo video comes to mind of the Horde encounter at a sawmill that looked absolutely bonkers. The way the player was able to use the environment as traps against the enemies looked like tense fun. I’m sure they aren’t all set pieces like that one but I’m very much looking forward to that encounter.
I haven’t played the game much lately and have been sidetracked by DMC5 which was part of the E3 sale. But I plan on going back since I was having fun the last time I played. Speaking of the last time I played the game showed me how doing something stupid or without thought will get you punished. I was exploring a Nero research site when I noticed a big oil tanker on the side of the road. I thought “I wonder if this will go boom if I shoot it”. I shot it and sure enough it exploded but it awoke the Horde I had no idea was sleeping nearby and they tore me to pieces. The line “It’s a Trap” immediately popped in my head, haha.
Hah, yeah. ... I wouldn't say I don't taking on the hordes, it's more that 1) I don't have much practice and I'm not good at it, and 2) there are like 20 of them, which is a little overwhelming; I will do a few of them, but I'm not sure I'll do all 20.
The sawmill horde is tough. I got slaughtered several times. After the 4th or 5th defeat, I looked on Youtube for help. I found a stealth approach that used that. The more active, run and gun approach would have been more fun, I'm sure, but I was getting impatient and just wanted to get through it.
p.s. Someone on another forum mentioned that he thought the end-game horde stuff was kind of irritating, because 1) it can take a while to find the horde, track them down, and 2) you go through a lot of your supplies during a horde fight, meaning that between each horde, you have to run around to multiple places, scrounging supplies and re-filling everything. I've found both of those things kind of tedious, too. It's too bad you can't buy supplies (scrap, bottles, etc.) in any of the camps.
Yeah they should offer more things at the camp shops for sure, finding those large bottles for napalm Molotov's and gun powder can be pretty time consuming but they also help a lot with the stuff you need to take our hordes.
For that bandit camp with the freaker nest below it, I died my first try as well, but once I realized there was a freaker nest down there, I snuck around to the far side, shot one of the bandits with a poison bolt, making him attack his mates, which caused the freakers to go aggro to them, leaving me on the other side to come up behind them and get the drop on the small horde...
It's like the horror movies where they build everything over an indian burial ground. WCGW?That's good. I think I went the long way, with stealth. I'm on my second playthrough, so I'll have to do it again. I'm thinking use an attractor then molotov. That should bring the freakers down on them.
They're pretty stupid, to build their camp over a freaker nest. I mean, what do you expect?
I played up until right before you unlock the third area, then took a break to play through Rage 2. Last week I started up the game and played a few missions/side quests into the third area and feel like giving up the game. I figured the issues I had with the game before would go away after taking a break, but there's a few too many things in the game that irk me to the point of just not having fun while playing it. Won't have time to game at all the next couple of days so might try it one more time again and if I feel the same way I may be giving it up as well.This game reminds me a lot of how I feel about Red Dead Redemption 2. A game I was very much looking forward to but in the end put down without finishing. The both of these games suffer from the same problem in my opinion, pacing. Days Gone......for me at least swings wildly from fun to frustrating and/or boring and it has me saying to myself "this game is just not for me". I went from a fun stealth mission that culminated in a battle against a Bear which was awesome to a hunting mission that became frustrating because the freakn Deer like to run hundreds of yards away from my bike leaving me with a long trek to recover it.
I hardly ever do this but I switched the game off midway through the hunting mission because of boredom and frustration. The funny thing is this game has me thinking perhaps its time for me to go back to State of Decay 2 on Xbox. That's a game without the high production values of Days Gone but was loads of fun and its received quite a few content updates since I last played. I used to be a graphics whore and still am to a certain extent but I won't play a game just because its pretty.
It's "a major success for Sony."
NPD: Days Gone Is Now The 8th Best Selling Game In 2019 Behind RDR2
Days Gone has become the 8th best selling game in 2019 ahead of multiplatform games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice proving it is a major success for Sony.
Days Gone launched with lukewarm review scores but that didn’t manage to stop the sales of the game. It had solid legs not just in North America but also in most of the major countries of the world including Japan and the UK. As a result, it seems to have done well for itself despite being a new IP that didn’t get critical praise.
Days Gone is from Sony Bend Studio and it was launched on April 26, exclusively for the PS4. It launched within a couple of days of Mortal Kombat 11 which is a multiplatform release and currently the best selling game in 2019 according to the NPD group.

I bought this 2 months ago and haven't opened it yet. I'm probably gonna save it to play this fall when absolutely nothing I care about will be released.
