About this image

Well hear me out, I'm playing this masterpiece for the first time (had in my steam library for over a year or two, but never installed), now for like a few days I gave it a try and oh man! I'm in love with this game, but same time, I'm so sad about this game.

And here's why:

I wish there was a mod to go anywhere and climb anywhere, cuz sometimes you want to explore some places, but you can't cuz your player can't jump a small rock or there's an invisible wall. Also the world feels so cool, like you really feel like you're surviving in a postzombie world, all these places, woods, abandoned homes, I feel like I'm in the Walking Dead world and just surviving/exploring, I didn't had such feelings for a long time, probably the last time it was WAR Z (Infestation) back in 2012 and State of Decay, but same time the world feels so freaking empty, sad that devs didn't left letters or audio files/memos to explore abandoned homes/farms etc and hear different stories from people just before they passed out or on the first days of infestation and aftermath. Just imagine exporing a home, then you see two bodies in the bed and there's their last letter and a gun...ugh man! Or like on the map where are graves with toys, or just any graves, there's no letters, no story behind it, sure you can make your own story with your imagination, but that's not the same as reading a small letter about someone who was alive in this world or someone who lost a loved one and  you read their little sories. This game has such a big potential, but all you got is only loot (which I didn't really care). Also would've been so cool a mod with more animals, more people, like people in homes where they try to survive and freaks trying to break throw the windows/doors (like these ones you save from the freaks or bandits and show them the camp) but it's so repetative and sad that the survivors you saved just dissapear behind the screen, it would've been so cool to drive them to the camp and on the road you can lose them (raid or zombies could've killed them), so the one you saved may not make till the camp if something will happen on the way.

One more thing I found kind of sad, is that the game doesn't have any horror stuff, not even some scripted stuff when you explore the places, no screamers, nothing, just empty homes. Imagine once again how cool it would've been at night trying to hide from hordes and finding a the blue trash container, opening and a freak from inside jumping on you!!! Or trying to loot a home and behind a door or anywhere else a jump screamer! (AHHHHH!!!! WHY THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THIS IN THE GAME!!!) Why all the buildings are so empty? No freaks inside, nothing there, just empty spaces. I think it would've add more depth in the exporing, when you'd know that inside the building, a freak can wait you next of any corner inside, so you'd walk inside slowly with your gun ready any seconds to shoot, insted of just running inside the building knowing there's nothing to worry about.

And hey, where's dismemberment? I see sometimes that people enemies can lose a leg, but nothing really special, it would be great to see more dismemberment from people/freaks, like heads poping up or them losing legs/arms etc. Also the moment when you kill the enemie, their body is just a texture, you can't interact or keep shooting till the body won't look nothing as
a body. OH WAIT, I FOUND SOMETHING (https://www.nexusmods.com/daysgone/mods/61).

Also what I kind of miss, a bigger town, not like a huge, but at least a town of like 30k population, aka the one like in the Last of Us when Joel meets Bill (Bill's Town mission).

One more thing is costomization, I wish there were more bikes/clothes, maybe a camp and a garderobe where you can change clothes depending on weather, also more bikes, from choppers to dirtbikes, modding and adding different parts from bikes in the world, also I think it would've be much cooler to find in the world not just craft junk, but also bike parts, unique things that may only be one piece on the whole map, or gun parts or rare guns hidden somewhere, it would've add so much in the exporing the map. And funny thing is you can see that devs cut off some stuff from the game, like you can see in camps/bunkers a workbench which probably was for crafting/modding guns, but at the end it's just for show...

Bikes: the fuel mechanics is really cool! I like the feeling of "oh sh*t! I'm getting out of fuel, I need to stop there and find some fuel, so it would've been cool to  add also tire pressure or losing the tire so your bike will be slower and less drivable, so at the end you need to find bike parts (wheels) and change the wheel to keep driving.


What about hunting? I thing that Days Gone's world is a perfect place for hunting! Add rabbits or rats! Make a small camp like in the Red Dead Redemption! Add to the player the needs of drinking/ eating! I guess by adding such survival things like food and water, this game would've be playable for thousand of hours, cuz you'd be contantly fighting to survive, if not, you'd just lose HP and suddently die! Making it a perfect sandbox world for surviving and same time with a storyline!!!!


Yes, this game reminds me A LOT of The Last of Us, but in a open world! And I'm in love with it! But ahhh, I'm crying that it is how it is... I hope that somewhere there are modders who will add some of the stuff I mentioned. Cuz I feel like a few New Game+ the game will just end forever in people's lifes, I feel like if the game had all these things it would've been replayable and more interesting.

P.S. The only mod I found that changes a bit the expiriense is the horde size, it's funny ngl.At the end I wanna say that I hope the modders will keep add things to the game, or the devs will reveal the game's code and let people modify not only some minor things in the files, but add like new places on the map, new towns, new freaks spawns (inside the buildings), more animals variations.

Anyway I hope somewhere in the world are some guys who makes a survival mod in Days Gone's world.
