Quick Look: Days Gone

Hope this is good

737 Days....Gone...?

Ellie, we really are The Last of Us ——Joel

Just hire Mike, damn it.

Looks pretty good honestly, much better than I anticipated after the initial presentation and trailers.

3rd person Far Cry, got it.

Between this and recent playdates, such a fan of Mike becoming non-official/bonus DLC character Giant Bomb crew. His voice is always welcome on fine CBS products.

It looks... fine? It's exactly what everyone thought it was and yet people are acting as if it was going to be some Last of Us Part II game. I might check it out at some point.

Another 3rd person action game. I like some of the Sony exclusives, but man there is zero variety.

And yes, hire Mike!

Deacon St. John is a name straight from a Nic Cage C-level movie.

This seems like it could be fun, but there are a ton of systems that set you back and seem too much a hassle to handle.

This looks like a game that'd be 10 hours longer than it needs to be and diverge from its primary plot far more often than is justifiable. Reviews are all over the place, and while the crew seemed to be enjoying themselves during this Quick Look I saw plenty of stuff that just nagged at me. This doesn't look nearly as bloated as Mass Effect: Andromeda was, but having just played that game earlier this year I don't think this sold me on playing another way too big open world game.

The Witcher 3 did all the track pad PS4 stuff they were talking about years ago now... GB still misses all the influence of that game by kind of acting like it never happend as a group. you think Vinny would remember at least...

This game looks... fine?

Not sure I see a compelling hook though.

Also the reflection on the bow looks just like an enemy direction indicator

Wind's howling.

I'm glad Vinny is the one driving this.

This looks better than I was expecting, looking forward to playing it now tbh. Thanks guys!

Love how there are percentage ratings all over the place.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the Witcher and Red Dead jokes in this QL.

.......... John Redcorn?

Days YAWN amirite.

(pay no mind I haven't actually watched this QL).

Why is the motorsicle so awfup

Im sorry, this looks really good lol. like a nice simple blend of open world games in a cool setting.

I probably still wont play it because I am very done with this kind of zombie fiction, but this actually looks a lot better than I thought it would.

This doesn't look like a bad game, but it doesn't look like a good one either. It's like they made the most uninteresting also-ran zombie narrative game.

I kinda wanna play this. I live in the pacific northwest and they nailed the look.

Kinda wish you had more ammo like in the early trailers where they are mowing down waves of zombies.

Can't wait for the kotaku article where they complain until the devs remove killing zombie children.

@stephen_von_cloud: I think he played it on PC, so he wouldn't necessarily know about the track pad stuff.

Wait. Is that.. Starkiller?

I like narrative-driven games, I like The Last Of Us, and I like Sony exclusives, but for some reason everything about this game just looks and feels so uninteresting and boring but I really can't pin-point why exactly.

It's like I'm looking at a B-Game with the graphics of a AAA game but instead of being cinematic they just went with the blandest art style possible.

It doesn't seem like a bad game, but it doesn't seem like a good game either.

On a side-note: Giant Bomb really needs to improve the bitrate of their videos. Every time there's more movement on this, it looks like I'm watching it in 480p.

I got whiplash checking out this QL which is so positive after skimming Patrick's review on Waypoint. This doesn't look great but I guess I'm glad Vinny's having fun.

The mouth movement and the way mouths look is a bit weird.

Sony needs to make this 40 $, fast!

@nach0sanchez: He has a job. Why not hire someone who needs it?

@dsouvannarath: It is! I looked him up recently for unrelated reasons (he apparently does the voices for Emperor Palpatine and Darth Maul in the cartoons and stuff now too), and was surprised to see this was him

This is the Danny situation all over again. I wouldn't mind if they hired Mike, but if it's working the way it is for everyone involved, they don't really need to.

Edit: This game actually looks surprisingly alright. Not good enough to get me over my aversion to zombies, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised.

Hearing Vinny say “and these are the kid ears” is really something hahah

Reviews kinda began to push me off, but after watching this, I think I will dip in.

My good god, that is a slow bike.

Whenever they said 'Freakers' I couldn't help but think of this

We are the real walking dead vs. We are da real phreakerz!

Parts of this seem fun, like the atmosphere, and large swathes of the gameplay just seem tedious and like.. not dialed in or something. The melee combat especially appears weirdly loose with no apparent lock-on, just a mushy magnetizing effect.

I've been having my doubts about this game, but I think I may end up getting this. I really, really like the setting, and that bike does look pretty fun to control.

Looks like a fun 40 dollar game.

"We're the real Walking Freakers"

Alex, please: The Freaking Dead

Many reviews talking about Tucker being a horrific slave driver. -> Vinny's favorite character and spirit animal.

Toasty.

Going back and watching the 2016 E3 trailer for this is a trip.

Can’t believe no one realized that the actor playing Deacon was Starkiller from The Force Unleashed, Sam Witwer.

Nice to have a game made in Oregon, and set in Oregon
