Should Your Boyfriend Play Days Gone? | Girlfriend Reviews

this video was sponsored by skillshare when days gone came out in 2019 game critics said it was fine but lacked the high quality writing and technical polish that sony exclusives typically spoil us with so gamers responded no ign delete this video right now which roughly translates to ign gave something i pre-ordered a 6.5 and i took that personally two years later following its release on pc cancellation of its sequel and fan blaming comments from its director the days gone debate has reignited as if it happened so long ago that anyone could forget some people agree with the more negative professional reviews written by bootlicking xbox shills such as playstation universe and other people agree with the more positive user reviews written by totally unbiased strangers such as days gone to forever who makes a valid case that there's literally nothing wrong with this 10 out of 10 game no no it's female empowerment that's the problem day's gone is just a threat to neil kuchman's agenda yeah that's why days gone too got cancelled not because of embarrassingly low sales and mixed critical reception because of a women they don't talk to me four out of four users found this helpful okay ign stop giving copy paste cash grabs near perfect scores unless they're actually near perfect games sweetie and gamers stop demanding ign issue an apology on the rare occasion they're brave enough to give something an honest average score unless it's doom in which case ign better issue an apology 7.1 are you from sorry all right now that i've single-handedly fixed ign and gamers allow me to end the day's gone debate once and for all the truth is ign did in fact get this one wrong day's gone deserved a way higher amount of criticism it's just awful so this isn't a review of what it's like to live with someone who plays days gone this is pretty much gonna be a murder of days gone cold-blooded i'm sorry to this man he was fantastic as deacon saint starkiller base but sorry to this man i do not like days gone knock knock who's there it's me wondering why you can tell shelby doesn't like a game when her adhd is out of control the whole time we've played this game nothing's happened she has what do you want me to do nothing's happened he just keeps walking up to people and going hey so you want a huh and they're like oh well we gotta do it a bubble and he goes huh well maybe next time and then he gets on his bike and he goes in our last video we called resident evil village a single player roller coaster with a special spot for backseat gamers right up front if i had to use the roller coaster analogy in today's video i'd compare day's gone to it's a small world a slow boring ride of maddening repetition that goes on forever past the point you stopped enjoying it ironically and for a while i did genuinely enjoy days gone ironically starting only 20 seconds in when this happened oh and i realized it was gonna be one of those games [Laughter] you know one of these games they got him yeah that's the kind of game i'm talking about a broke-ass game listen bugs are funny people get mad at bugs but bugs are funny wow hey look ding ding ding yay we won i don't care about immersion when v's bimpus was bugging out his jeans i was like that's terrible cd project red why is that happening for real is it a certain pair of pants i need to avoid or what specifically are the exact parameters i should never try right now to get the funny people breathtaking however despite thankfully remaining a buggy game since launch laughing gas wasn't the only fuel day's gone needed more of to make it a joyride you like this game no are you sure you don't like this game yeah which part the part where i'm slowly walking my motorcycle through a dirt road yeah don't worry it's just 2.1 kilometers pacing is really important every video game review talks about pacing so his day's gone well pace doesn't poorly paced after 30 hours i knocked on the tv i said pacing pacing and do you know what i found out there is no pacing in days gone the main quests in a story driven video game are normally when the narrative and gameplay come together in a way that most profoundly demonstrates what the developers are capable of when a player selects the main quest it's because they're ready for some higher production value which will simultaneously progress the plot and put their skills to the test the main quests in days gone often don't even seem to know what the plot is rarely require any meaningful effort from the player and virtually never expand upon the core mechanics available from the outset it's like the director handed his dev team 5 000 pages front and back of just dialogue so the dev team said hey boss quick question when you wrote this um alarmingly and coherent pile of conversations did you know we're making a video game game design it's for fun all these walking and talking quests it's not fun plus your story your characters i'm gonna be honest the man what the are we gonna do sony trusted us and then the director of days gone looked at his dev team with reassuring confidence and replied you were in the parking lot earlier that's how i know you this is a load of barnacles you can practically hear the dev team throwing their hands up in frustration as they program yet another exciting motorcycle zombie level for you to move the left joystick a little as you follow your snail wife around and compliment her turkish do me a favor take that off why do the main quests in a post-apocalyptic open world with exhilarating zombie hordes and nitrous boosted motorcycles have the least exhilarating least nitrous boosted pacing in the whole game i want to shoot zombies not watch x-files i'm a bush that was my boyfriend's reaction the first time they made him fill up a bar by listening i don't have to say anything on the fifth quest exactly like it he was only doing it because there was absolutely nothing else left to do on the map and to unlock more it was either listen to x-files from a bush again or go talk to a rock well it doesn't make any sense me coming up here but what the hell where else am i gonna go herein lies the biggest issue with day's gone's pacing the kind of action and adventure players bought the game to experience is frequently locked behind a paywall of meandering dribble that simply did not take game design into account when it was written for the opening half of days gone the main quests are at best hours behind where the player wants to be gameplay wise and at worst don't feature any gameplay at all oh they made a trailer called fighting the horde cause fighting the horde seems like gameplay worth 60 dollars but the trailer doesn't tell you that the first main quest where you fight a horde is 70 percent through the game my boyfriend had already defeated a ton of hordes he had to seek out on his own when again to unlock more game he was forced to go on a light jog with an old man across a marsh and up a hill to merely look at a horde this grandpa's like these are big bunch of zambers to kill ain't they best part of the game i reckon but slow down there kiddo you've only been playing for 25 hours so for now what do you say we jog right on back to camp and i'll tell you what last one there's a penis pump so many of these mandatory story lines are 30-minute meetings that could have been an email that's why sometimes it feels like the dev team tried to add interesting gameplay where there clearly was no plan to add gameplay for instance on this mission the main character goes to church and daydreams about his wedding day in the cringiest cutscene ever motion captured but only if you promise to ride me as much as you ride here bye and right in the middle of it the devs are like uh i messed up day's gone right there so you can have a random shootout cause we're sorry and then starkiller base goes right back to daydreaming as if nothing happened [Applause] [Music] although other times when the script miraculously formulates a scenario that could possibly be mistaken for this complex concept people in the video game biz call a level the director was probably like i gave you something fun to do and you wasted it this is a load of barnacles i mean using dynamite to blow up a dam at the climax of multiple storylines sounds like it was going to be a pretty epic level to me but what do i know after all you're the guys that made bubsy 3d now that's the thing i'm sensitive about so let's just give the dynamite to boozer the village drunk with one arm and he can go play the level while we watch from a mile away then i don't want to ride my steel horse full throttle away from a deadly tidal wave no give me a comical animation with gamecube vibes and that's a wrap on the actual best story mission in days gone so if you wanted a sequel well you should have just bought it at full price in conclusion i'm sorry to this man and i'm sorry to ben's studio there are sparks of genius on these bloody oregon trails that can be seen flying into the kindling of freaker nests or lighten up an awe-inspiring amount of enemies but the creative fire days gone was spitting is too swiftly extinguished leaving the player with a burning desire for more that cannot be quenched by the drip feed of flavorless side quests or the bottomless well of main quests which are overflowing yet somehow still only trickle one by one black stinky peepee from a funny beampiss this video is dedicated to everyone who unironically enjoyed days gone no
