The treatment Days Gone got is the worst case in point from my perspective (obvs not Ubisoft but a great game treated like it was terrible). It’s one of my absolute favourite ps4 games and I almost didn’t bother playing it due to the media vitriol.
Spot on, i loved the game and like you nearly didn't bother buying because of all the negative reviews.
@colonelkilgore @ApostateMage I've not seen all the negativity, but if I paid for an expensive edition of a game and one of those perks was getting early access, then my progress got wiped, I would not be best pleased.
Not sure if I'm down for all this early access business which is becoming the norm. I don't play many games on day one these days anyway, and the ones I have recently have not offered this. If one did? I would be torn of whether I'd pony up to play it a few days early.
@JohnnyShoulder oh for sure… my point is more towards the negativity around the gameplay rather than Ubisoft screwing over the early access players. I wouldn’t go early access for Bloodborne 2 even!
@colonelkilgore Yeah the more I think about the more I'm inclined that I would not pay to play any game a few day early lol
People seem to be vocal about the smallest of niggles these days and it can be tricky to know if they are genuine or if they are doing it to knock down the developer/publisher.
I'm picking up the game today (after they managed to ship it late so it didn't arrive before the weekend) but I don't think I'll have the time to actually play it before Astro Bot...
Maybe they'll patch some bugs in the meantime at least
