    Did you play after the credits, there are at least 4 more cut scenes that tidy up the story/set up the sequel.

    not yet maybe that's why I never saw the
    shocking twist

    So I rebuilt the database and started the game and the game continued after the part where it crashed so looking good so far

    Deleting this game... every patch is a big ass download as though I am constantly redownloading the game... and it's often enough!

    Yeah every update seems to just replace the previous one so is always 15gb. And on that note there is a new update today.

    Finally got to playing this, not that far in at all.

    Enjoying it so far feels like its very stealthy so far need to boost my stats, not too gone on the aiming, feels like deacon st john had a huge feed of pints.

    Just finished this last night really enjoyed it. I'm finishing stuff off now near enough to platinum so I'll keep going. It's a long game in fairness they definitely gave their moneys worth.

    Sequel on the ps5 be great if they can sort out the bugs pre launch I'm in

    Challenge sounds like a fun distraction but certainly wouldn't inspire me to boot the game back up.

    I would have welcomed these with the actual launch build. Fun and varied side activities were something the game was sorely lacking in, so things like this new challenge would have made for a great distraction and perhaps made the lack of variety on show slightly more palatable for folks like myself who were more critical of the game's major flaws.

    Do you ever get the location of the hordes ? or are you expected to find them yourself?

    Have completed a few but dunno if I should do them now or later am level 20.

    Last mission I did was find a
    drunk boozer and brought him back to lost lake camp

    Yeah, you get the general locations of all hordes after a certain point. You'll have specific missions where you'll have to take on pretty big hordes but I think you're a while from them yet. I don't think you've fully opened the map yet.

    When you complete the story they are highlighted on the map. I didn't really like fighting them. You only had to fight two or three and I left it at that but I may go back to them.

    I ended up hunting down a good few to get XP to get access to Level 3 at certin camps for certain parts. Absolutely loved it as I was just wrecking them. Complete contrast to barely being able to take on more than 3 at the start of the game.

    Anyone play Survival Mode? Is it a good challenge or just annoyingly hard? Tempted to pick this up again to go through Survival.

    my strategy involved me hiding in a bush and lobbing decoys and napalm. I became the world's deadliest bush.

    Done a few missions
    at wizards' island
    I honestly though after
    Iron Mikes
    the game was going to be over.

    Have to agree with all the previous sentiments regarding it taking a while to get into, but I agree it shouldn't have got the negative scores it did get.

    Bit repetitive but it is fun.

    I think there's a bit of a pacing misstep straight after where you thought it was going to end. It feels a bit like starting over again with the new narrative which could have the potential to frustrate a lot of people.

    The game didn't really get any especially negative reviews. It has an average score of 71 on metacritic, which I'd say is pretty on point. Only a few reviews were especially negative about it.

    If the game had not been as repetitive, and hadn't had the pacing issues it did, especially in the latter third then I think that score could have easily been an 8.

    It's a decent game with some absolutely great moments, but it's extremely padded out and that definitely hurts it for me.

    Having just finished horizon zero dawn which took me 3 purchases to get past the first 10 hours, i ended up loving it. I enjoyed Days Gone so much more though. Made me think about recent playthroughs of God of war and spiderman to compare the big exclusives. Days Gone was my hands down favourite from 4 epic games but it made me realise how it's not fair that other platforms don't get to experience those games.

    Did anyone feel that they kind of wasted the horde mechanic though? I felt it could have been used in the wider world a lot more, the way they implemented it just tucked away in 7-8 non-plot related locations made it seem like they built this really good zombie sim then didnt know what to do with it.

    Finished the main story last night. Did enjoy it , the fat could have been trimmed.

    Still don't get why
    Sarah was so off when you go reunited, I know the camp and all that, still it seemed odd

    Know there is a few side missions to mop up so will prob boot it up once more.

    Once you finish the main story, it doesn't take too long to platinum the game.

    yeah totally agree with your spoilered comment, it really hurt the flow of the story I thought.

    The introduction of Sarah and that camp is the big flaw in the game. It felt like a hard reset of the game after the ramping up of the action at Iron Mike's.

    Only one trophy away from platinum and its wrecking my head. Trying to drift and use nitro for 5 seconds just never seems to work. Any tips?

    Did you get full nitro upgrade? I had to kill multiple hordes just to get the xp to unlock them. Once you do, equip the basic tyres you start the game with, as they have the worst grip. Then find an open highway and pull some wide Donuts. I did that for a while and it eventually popped.

    Same, but did it by Iron Mike's farm, nice big area. Think this is most people's last trophy to get

    Changed to basic tyres and then went to chemult college. Did the horde there and was just doing random donuts and the trophy pinged. Thank god thats over.
