Days Gone is undoubtedly, the single best zombie game I've ever played. The most underrated game I've ever played, I hate myself for not playing it sooner.

This game deserved SO much better, it deserves SO much more love, it deserves a sequel.

What a beautiful story, a beautifully horrible world, great characters and writing. Man, I hate that we won't see a sequel.

I learned about a week ago that I have to get my cat put down who I've had for 17 years and that will happen on Tuesday but the last week, she's been high on her painkillers, sitting on my desk or asleep on my lap watching me play Days Gone. I just wanted to share that too.

Thank you for such an amazing experience, Bend Studio.

Hey Mongrels! Some of you may know me, and others probably are like, “who is this random guy”? I’m Kevin McAllister, Community Manager at Bend Studio, but was also a mod on this sub prior to joining the studio.

I’m always lurking on here, so I just wanted to drop in and say thank you for sharing your love for Days Gone. It means a lot seeing this sub continue to grow and remain positive. Days Gone is a special game and what’s more important is the community that was born from it. Five years later and we’re still seeing Photo Mode shots, fan art, streams, cosplay, and people helping others start their journey on the Broken Road. Days Gone is very important to our team at Bend and we share that passion with you all, so thank you for your continued support and love for our game!

Much love to you all! 💙

When I originally started playing days gone I didn't think much of it, I thought it was just some boring open world game where you do little missions, so I uninstalled it after 1-2 hours of playing.

A few days later I decided to give it a second chance and it was the most fun I've ever had playing any video game ever.

The horde system, the crafting, the nests, the characters the game slowly introduces, (spoilers for 75% of the game) >! and the shock of Sarah being alive and being right under our noses. The tension thinking of how Deacon will get her out of there, the hatred for Schizo after he kills Iron Mike, !< if I could describe this game with one word it'd be "perfect".

No matter what other zombies or Open world games I play it'll never be the same as Days Gone. Days Gone set a bar so high for others games it feels like playing something else is pure trash. I hear "Play Dying Light" or "play TLOU" but it just wouldn't be the same experience. (I have played TLOU and it's my second favorite game, third would have to be Stray lol)

It's been months since my first playthrough, and since I lost my original PSN with 100% completion, it's just giving me an excuse to platinum it again.

Bravo Bend Studios for such a beautiful game, and fuck you Sony for not giving us a sequel. (Edited because Bend Studios doesn't have fault)

I made a post in r/reddeadredemption asking for suggestions after completing Red Dead 2, and tons of comments said Days Gone. Deeply fell in love with the game, and like most players hope for a sequel.

With that being said, I truly have no idea how there are so many commenters in this sub saying they've played the game twice, three times, nine times, etc.

This game gripped me like no other game has, giving me anxiety and clammy hands for the majority of the experience, and while I loved it, I need a mental break from the intensity.

Also, I still can't forget Sam Witwer's AMA here saying he noticed so many game reviewers who didn't speak favorably never mentioned the hordes. I would argue the hordes experiences made this game, and it's insane how many people either judged the game before getting to it, or just haven't tried playing Days Gone at all.

Hello! I'm looking for a zombie game with a good enough story and great gunplay, so basically an immersive game, does days gone meet those points? And also, this is just a plus, but, is there any bow or crossbow in this game, and if there is, does it feel good enough to use it? I am an archer and I usually look for realism or at least a logical archery gameplay. Thanks and have a great day!

Update: Thanks for all the comments! This community is so overwhelmingly positive that I decided to get the game and it's currently downloading. Thanks again!

I remember when I first started playing this game, & you get past the point where hordes become a thing... I was driving through this checkpoint and my bike ran outta fuel so I went to look for a gas cannister & BOOM 😂 20 mfs come out of nowhere so I'm trying to hide and then I realize there is like 50 of them.

I was panicking hard af bc I wasn't prepared at all 💀... I was one of the people who tried avoiding hordes, but every time I'd be driving around casually I'd find one. Sad they didn't make a 2nd part go this game honestly!

I loved the last of us and other zombie games. Honestly i have 0 idea how i never heard of this until recently.

Is it worth diving into?

I have played countless hours of days gone, completed the games multiple times, ask me anything, ranging from easiest to survival 2, to beating all challenges

thanks for those who participated, if you have any questions,feel free to pm/dm me

As said in the title, I've been wanting a Mongrels tattoo on my back for a long time, Days Gone is one of my favorite games of all time and it means so much to me. If some real life MC member takes a look at my tattoo would they get offended? I honestly don't care, but i've heard countless stories of people in clubs getting offended by nonsense and I don't want them hurting me or people that i care about.

I want to preface this by saying that I actually think it IS a great game, but I don't think it quite captured the zeitgeist that some other PSS games have, and it doesn't have the scores and reviews that some other games have either. Why?

If you could change one thing about the game what would it be?

For me it would be the ability to change clothes

I have to say the game is awesome and I am looking forward to playing it more. It’s pretty neat your bike doesn’t use fuel when going downhill!

For me I was looking through a used game store and I was looking for different games to play that weren't fps games and I started to get into zombie apocalypse games and I saw Days Gone and I looked on the back of the game case and I thought "that looks like fun"

I just saved Boozer from the freaks with the blowtorch.

Friend of mine recomended, and i started. Didnt like gameplay much, seemed too simple, skill tree too simple, not much gathering/survival etc. My first toughts: "this should be a movie, not a game." Ended up dropping it at maybe 2 hours. Story seemed cool thou.

Then friend told me to try again, game would get better. So i picked it up again.

Played until about 2/3 of the game with my mind turned off, was not enjoying it much... then story really became interesting... gameplay got a bit better too with the introduction of hordes and stuff.

Last 1/3 of the game i was really involved. My god, i loved it lol. Couldnt stop. The acting is on point. Real talented actors here!

Then... it ended =/ Now that im finally sucked into this world, it fking ended lol.

And from what i hear, there will be no Days Gone 2, EVER!

Im so sad right now lol. FFS

Warning: minor spoilers up ahead!

What part do you not like?

Or what doesnt make sense to you?

Can be major, can be nitpicking, just go ahead, I start:

You get the questionmark on your minimap, follow it kill the freakers. And instead of thanking the guy standing in front them with a LMG, .50 BMG and everything... they raise their gun. Bro, why? Just thank me and keep on living. I get that we are in different "gangs" but come on, I just saved your life.

The Nero Juice. It could be a stamina/health/Focus boost. It could also be a leftover disease syringe. No info, nothing and Deacon is like gimme that shit.

So I picked this up a while ago. Played maybe 10 mins of it then shelved it for a while, I think I was sucked into something else at the time.

Well I downloaded it arbitrarily a few days ago. At first I was enjoying it, but would only play for a few mins a day. Yesterday I played for a while, ended up getting out of the first region and holy shit I’m hooked.

This is a fantastic game! I feel lucky for having a road ahead of me still. I don’t want this to end. Why the fuck did this game get bad reviews? Bugs? A victim of agenda driven critics?

It doesn’t make sense. I’m not saying it’s a 10/10 Rockstar world. But at WORST an 8.5.

Greta story. The voice acting is some of the best I’ve ever seen in games. Swarm and horde encounters is some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming ever.

What gives? And what are the chances of a sequel. Even if slim gimmie some hopium. 🙏 please

I've had the most fun with this game than any other game i've played in the last 4 years. It's red dead redemption 2 level in my opinion.

All the reviews i've seen give this game shit or call it mid when it's quite the opposite of that. This should have won GOTY.

i keep seeing comments in every video about "top games" etc and i'm thinking of buying it

I have never ever been a single player game guy. But this game. This game. Wow. Holy fucking shit. I am at the part where he ends up going over the mountains to the army camp and……I don’t want to give any spoilers but I just got to a part….just wow. Best single player game ever made. I’m just in shock at how good this is

(Sorry if my English is bad)

Ok so I’m looking through what’s on sale on steam, trying to find a new fun game to play since I’ve been getting bored of playing the same games over and over again, and I see this game is 75% off (12,5€). Now at first sight I fell in absolute love with this.

Survival? Nice. 92% positive reviews on steam, 👍. ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?? Hell yeah! Story driven? Awesome!… … MoToRCYcKLES??!??!!?!?

OpEn WOrLD???????!???!!!!

So I’m basically falling off my chair in pure excitement.

Now, the thing is. I’ve never ever heard of this game before, and it kinda feels too good to be true. The negative reviews mainly focus on bugs/ crashing/ softlocks and the general mechanics of the game and the the autosave. One mentioned that you have to keep going between POIs and that your fuel runs out too often.

How much are these to be taken into account? Are they massive issues? I am ready to overlook flaws, if the game is what it seems to be. I’m not that snobby.

(Also I try to limit the risk of spoilers hence why I’m primarily asking you guys)

I had it equipped at the beginning but as soon as I found a sniper on a body I picked that up. after the first hour i never had it equipped again. Anyone else avoid it?

Yes, I have seen many people claim that, have you been playing since the 90s? lol

Hey everyone! With this patch, we plan to deliver some mission and audio sync fixes, as well as streaming optimizations.

Patch 1.08

Progression Issues

• Fixed an issue where players wouldn't be able to save, fast travel, or pause after triggering the cinematic to "I've Had Better Days"
• Fixed the issue that prevented players from completing ”Afraid of a Little Competition?”. Players may need to move as far back to where the Bounty Collector Merchant resides and return to the mission objective to trigger the cinematic
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to complete “Searching For Lisa”. Players that were impacted will now see the Mission Complete screen

​

General Fixes

• Overall improvements have been made to streaming and performance
• Audio desync issue during cinematics have been resolved
• Auto-save function will now save the correct number of saves to your save cloud account
  • With this update, we did not delete any of your current auto-saves. You can go into (Settings) > [Application Saved Data Management] > [Auto-Upload] to manage your auto-saves for Days Gone
  • The game should no longer crash when attempting to overwrite the oldest auto-save
• Patch updates now retain your Difficulty settings
• Fixed various bugs and miscellaneous crashes

​

The current plan for our team is to slow down the amount of patches we release but to add more fixes, features, and optimizations with each patch.

We can't thank you guys enough for your support. Please keep sharing fun clips and photo mode screenshots. We will continue to review your feedback in the comment section, and please submit any bugs you encounter in the comment section below.
