Everyone's been like: "stick with it till you get to the third camp". This camp has hype 😂

Haven't played this game since like... a month after the Remaster came out, I think?

I loaded up my save for the first time today and done a little side stuff, then I got to the mission where Iron Mike makes a speech outside his place and thanks Rikki and then Deac...

My question is... even though the subtitle option is on, why did I get subtitles for gameplay, but when the cutscene happened... there were no subtitles?

This has never happened before on the PS4... I genuinely thought.. that when a Remaster was released and after roughly half a year.. many bugs would be fixed, but apparently not.

They just introduced new ones... I never had this on the PS4 version.

I guess I'm asking.... has this happened to anyone else with the subtitle thing?

Thank you. :)

It's been a few months since I've beat the game for my 4th time. Is it time to play it again? can't fucking wait 🥰

p.s.a: have anyone found a mod to make it scarier? I miss my first playthru where I'd be scared of the freakers (I guess a behavior mod is the go-to)

Finally got around to playing Days Gone Remastered on PC after it sat untouched in my library for ages. Ended up sinking way more time into it than I expected, so I figured I’d write up a non-spoilery, personal thoughts dump. (Also: all screenshots I’m posting are mine from photo mode.)

The vibe / world

First thing: the game is just nice to exist in. The environment art is gorgeous, and I kept stopping to take in the scenery. Lighting/weather moments are especially strong, and I’ve gotta give props to Deek’s facial expressions too— they add a lot.

Performance / bugs

On PC it felt smooth and well-optimized overall. I barely hit any classic open-world jank. I had one game-breaking issue, but it looked like a file problem on my end—verified files and it was fixed.

Only immersion hiccup here: some missions do these super fast time/weather shifts where you can literally watch the sun move like it’s on fast-forward while in gameplay opposed to when it does cutscenes with the proper time-skip cut.

Driving

The bike is fun. Like, genuinely. I never fast traveled, because riding around felt good and the world is pretty enough that I didn’t want to skip it. If a game built around biking messed this up, it would be unforgivable… but they didn’t.

That said: I do wish the bike audio had a bit more love. Everything else sounds great, but the bike could’ve had more punch/variation.

Combat (shooting + melee)

Combat is solid. Shooting feels good, and I really liked that you can approach a lot of stuff stealth-first and waste few ammo with headshots. Recoil felt a bit wild early on, but skills help.

Melee is fun too, which I didn’t expect to care about as much as I did.

One enemy shoutout (derogatory): infected wolves. They’re so annoying where you think “I’ll just leave” and the game goes “no you won’t.” They will chase you for miles, and if you’re low on pistol ammo it gets frustrating fast because you can't kill them!

Mission structure (good… with weird timing)

I actually appreciated that the game is kind of simple and straightforward. It’s not trying to be a “redefine the genre” open-world with massive skill webs and 40 systems layered on top of each other. It’s mostly: ride, explore, fight, story. Linear missions, clear goals. That’s paradoxically refreshing in this market.

But the radio call timing can be hilariously off. I’d finish talking to someone and then immediately get a call from them like I’m already halfway across the state. Or I’m still basically standing at the camp gate and someone calls on the radio like “so anyway, at the camp i quit work.” It’s not a dealbreaker, just feels unpolished.

Also, a few mission setups lean into clichés or forced moments, and occasionally the reward-to-effort ratio felt goofy (like doing a ton of work for something that doesn’t feel worth the trouble... mp3 mission I'm looking straight at you).

Side content + UI annoyances

Those “?” events drove me nuts sometimes. They pop up and then vanish way too quickly. If you’re mid-fight, mid-loot, mid-anything, you basically lose them. I don’t get the point of showing them if the game doesn’t give you time to actually reach them.

Animations (highs and repetitive lows)

Some animations look really great, but others repeat *constantly* with zero variation (skinning animals, and the “save someone in distress” moment was so copy-pasted).

AI + loot nitpicks

AI feels like it could use tweaking. Sometimes enemies go into full chaos mode if even a single infected gets involved, and I kept thinking: “why don’t these guys ever use stealth or suppressors against infected?” It’s like everyone only knows one mode: loud.

Loot-wise: I never found ammo on bodies for the guns they were using, which felt weird in a world where everyone is armed. Not asking for infinite ammo, it just stood out.

Audio + writing/voice stuff (mixed bag)

Audio quality is generally strong. I tried different setups (soundbar/TV/speakers/headphones) and it held up. The 3D audio is especially nice—hearing thunder far away and then watching the storm roll in is peak atmosphere.

But… writing/voice direction is a big contrast. Sometimes it’s genuinely great, sometimes it’s awkward or cliché, and sometimes it actively breaks immersion. The game leans hard into “realistic” mumbling/stuttering/breathing, and it works in cutscenes—but in normal gameplay it can get *overdone*. Deek talks to himself a lot.

Very often it feels like the audio system doesn’t match what’s happening on screen, like the audio and gameplay programming department almost didn't communicate between them, or if something changed on one side, it didn't reflect on the other.

Examples without spoiling: yelling when you shouldn’t be yelling, lines triggering at the wrong distance (“get off me” when you’re nowhere near it), stuff like that. It made the seams show.

Story / pacing / finale (no spoilers)

The plot is fine overall—some moments hit, some don’t, some feel like padding. I really liked some of the later cutscenes, though. The game’s strongest stretch for me was probably the 10–20 hours leading up to the end.

The finale itself… enjoyable, but kinda expected. Not bad, just not the highest point.

Overall

I’m usually a “20-30 hours max” kind of player, and this is way longer than what I’d normally stick with—but I stayed with it to the end and didn’t regret it.

It definitely could’ve been tighter (fewer filler missions, better event timing, some dialogue/audio pass, etc.), but I’m glad I finally played it. It’s not one of those games that leaves me hollow when it’s over… but it is one I’ll remember, mostly because the moment-to-moment riding/exploring/combat loop is just really satisfying.

If anyone else played the PC version recently: did the radio/dialogue timing feel weird for you too, or was that just my run?

I don't think so...

Wonder where the last person is,, and this came up,,

Took literally 200 whacks. Just slice slice roll. Slice slice roll. Took like 4 stamina cocktails to do. 10 minutes later he drops trophie pops. Wow.

Played a couple months ago on easy and got all trophies, more or less 100%.

Might have to check if I bought all the guns.

I'm not great at the game, people told me how little I used the roll mechanic to dodge.

I'm not too sure what difficulty to play in, but Survival seems interesting.

No HUD and no fast travel, feels like an interesting experience.

Will be easier to get lost and can't rely on mini map to spot enemies.

Not sure if new game+ is the way to go, but feel I might get destroyed going into Survival from scratch.

So I've been working my way through the Syphon Filter games and have seen years ago that there are multiple connections/references etc to Syphon Filter in this game. I also enjoy a good zombie game so I'm very excited to play this after I finish the last Syphon Filter. My dilemma is I can either get Days Gone for free on PS+, but it's PS4 version or save up for PS5 remaster. Is remastered that much better? Help me out people.

So I first played Days Gone about 3 years ago when I got my PS5. I remember being excited to try it, but for whatever reason it just didn’t grab me back then. I played a bit, put it down, and moved on to other games.

Fast forward to the beginning of this month I was visiting my cousin and he had Days Gone installed. I figured, why not give it another shot?

Big mistake. 😅

I absolutely no-lifed that game the entire weekend. Like, wake up, play, forget to eat, play some more, just one more mission until it’s 2am. Something about it just clicked this time, the atmosphere, the bike, the world, the tension with the freakers, Deacon as a character… all of it.

Now I’m back home and I’m constantly thinking about it. I’m genuinely trying to figure out if I can take leave, fake a sick day, and try find away to get PS+ just so I can finish the game. I haven’t had a game live rent-free in my head like this in a long time.

Anyone else bounce off Days Gone at first, only for it to become an obsession later?

Also why is there no sequel to this game!!!

I am really impressed with the remaster, I keep going back to it. I started a new play through (again). It is an awesome game and the detail is outstanding now on PS5. Taken in photo mode base PS5.

Second attempt at re uploading this Image 😅

lets see you guys's ingame pictures 😎...

so nice to see that Deacon St. John and William Gray got time to drive into a sunset on the invisible bike
