-The mission “Better to Light One Candle” bounty should able be obtained properly

Nicely job there ThisGen.

TGGJustin1547d ago

These came from the developer so blame them for the incorrect parts.

StoneyYoshi1547d ago

Whoever wrote the article could have easily changed one word and added one. So yes, Nice job there TGG.

TheEnigma3131547d ago

yes because every game since last gen hasn't had patches fixing the game.

porkChop1546d ago

Those are the actual patch notes though.

FTLmaster1547d ago

That’s pretty cool. As someone with an OG launch PS4 with a paltry 500gb to play with, I appreciate this.

KwietStorm_BLM1547d ago

You haven't swapped your hard drive or used an external in all that time?

solideagle1547d ago

lol there is a function called "Delete", that's how we use our 500 GB :)

nucky641547d ago

i've never swapped mine out and i'm having no issues.

CobraKai1547d ago

Neither have I. I just keep my currently playing games on the drive and delete the rest. Pain in the ass? Sure. But it works.

The_Sage1547d ago

I still have PT on my original 500 gig drive. I have a 2 terabyte drive installed.

Nacho_Z1547d ago

Same here, wish more games did the same. I suppose the benefit is that it helps keep your backlog to a minimum because you need to finish and delete something before you get something new.

iplay1up21547d ago (Edited 1547d ago )

I picked up a 2TB drive for $79 for my PS4. I just finally got one this Christmas. The drive I bought is already pretty full.

FTLmaster1547d ago

It’s fairly easy to delete stuff I’m not playing from my drive. It just hasn’t been a big deal for me, honestly.

darthv721547d ago (Edited 1547d ago )

I too have an og launch PS4 but I upgraded my stock 500gb to a firecuda 1tb. I think what turns off so many when it comes to upgrading is the time involved with backing up and then restoring. the actual process of opening and replacing the drive is like 5 minutes.

But the backup time can be hours... even if the 500gb wasnt that full (mine only had like 4 games installed to it). I just let it do the backup to an external 750gb drive and it took something like 7 hours so I let it run overnight. In the morning I swapped drives, installed the OS from a thumbdrive and then ran the restore (another many hours). I appreciate the ability to upgrade drives (as I've done on the PS3 as well) but honestly its way easier to 'add to' instead of replace. Adding a 2tb external to the xbo was like 30 seconds. Plug in, format and... bam!

Next gen I can imagine both will go the same route for expandable storage via external. Because of the nature of the internal SSD (on both) you can prob guess that Sony will not support upgrades but instead only allow add-on.

Rhythmattic1547d ago

Quite incredible post launch support....And it should be...
Lot of Developers should take note.

lifeisgamesok1547d ago

I've spent so many hours in survival mode.

Altogether I probably have about 250 hours in this game

jeromeface1547d ago

what difficulty do you recommend first time through?

lifeisgamesok1547d ago

@Jeromeface I play all of my games on normal starting out then I might up the difficulty on the 2nd or 3rd playthrough

SmielmaN1547d ago

It’s such a great game in so many ways. So under rated.

King_Noctis1547d ago

Post Launch support is great. But what every developer should aim for is a complete game at launch with little to no bugs.

SyntheticForm1546d ago

People disagree with this...

Rhythmattic1524d ago

SyntheticForm
I disagree, though you are correct.

1547d ago
SmielmaN1547d ago

I know a lot of commenters shat on this game but it’s been the most played game with me and my boys since it came out and I get every major game sent to me day 1.

This game was so much fun for me, and them, and I really hope we get a Days Gone 2. It’s such a good game we have done multiple play throughs since launch.

A severely under rated game.

Rimeskeem1547d ago

More devs need to do this. If a game reaches over 100 gigs right now it is usually poorly condensed. Like why the hell is CoD MW 130 gigs? Why is Destiny 2 like 100? If Naughty Dog can get Uncharted 4 down to 50 gigs and keep TLOU2 from going over 100 gigs (2 bluray discs can only mean up to 100 gigs) then CoD and Destiny can be less than 100 gigs each.

TGGJustin1547d ago

Yeah CoD MW taking up that much space is kind of absurd when you compare it to some other games on PS4 that are under half the size.

Teflon021547d ago

Yeah, MW is still the most BS thing. That file size is SOOO unacceptable

specialguest1547d ago

I still remember the article posted on N4G about MGS4 having a 5gb installation. We all thought that was extreme lol

franwex1547d ago

Hahaha. Yep. But some hdds were 20 gigs.

That’s like having a game close to launch this gen that’s 100 gigs, rather than at the end.

MasterCornholio1546d ago (Edited 1546d ago )

That game took forever to install. Spent so much time watching snake smoke. But I've seen worse on the PS4.

15 Biggest Unresolved Video Game Cliffhangers We May Never Get Answers To

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger72d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218372d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia72d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Days Gone | Trailer [GOG]

Days Gone is now available DRM-free from GOG

shinoff2183180d ago

Such a fun ass game. I enjoyed it alot more then I thought I would.

ravens52180d ago

We need a part 2 doesn't even have to be Deacon. But I had no problems with him either, he was a dude on a mission.

Cacabunga180d ago

My second favorite PS4 game after RDR2 hands down

neutralgamer1992180d ago

I think with Jim Ryan gone we may get a sequel down the road. It has become a cult classic

andy85180d ago

This was so fun I love the hoards. People need to stick with it because the start is very slow

MrDead180d ago

Has a really good PC port too, I wasn't expecting much from this game but I had a blast. Wish it had a part 2 as the story was building well.

jznrpg180d ago

It does take some time to get some weapons ,skills and a few bike upgrades up to feel like you got a rhythm going but then it really starts to click and the game is a lot of fun

shinoff2183180d ago

I was sad when it ended. I wanted more. I'd have to look but I think that was one of the few games I platinumed to. I only got like 4. I don't go out of my way for trophies though

Abnor_Mal180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

@shinoff same I only have 4 plats and one is Days Gone, and I also don’t go out of my way for platinums.

Was a very fun game and wish there would be a sequel, maybe one day they will come back to it with a different pitch that Sony will approve.

They probably rejected it he sequel because it might not have been the direction they were going for with gaas games and the like.

jznrpg179d ago

@shinioff I had the same feeling when I got the platinum. I need more. Hopefully they make a sequel and leave multiplayer out of it unlike the last pitch for Days Gone2.

got_dam180d ago

The critical reception had Sony relegate Bend to a support studio. Thank God the fans spoke up and Sony reversed that decision.

jznrpg72d ago

They have been working on a game for some time now and have said so

Knightofelemia180d ago

One of my favorite Sony titles too bad there is no sequel.

4 PlayStation exclusives, rdr2 and gta 4 and 5. Not one xbox made game.

zachyBROosevelt289d ago

What Xbox game should be on there?

Flewid638289d ago

Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome. They're the only 2 Microsoft games I ever enjoyed, probably because they felt like PlayStation games.

MIDGETonSTILTS17289d ago

What Xbox games are missing?

What Xbox games would even be candidates? The OG Xbox version of Chaos Theory?

SullysCigar289d ago

None - I took that as his point. There aren't any xbox games that are contenders for this list.

Abnor_Mal289d ago

“Not one ‘Xbox made’ game.”

“Made”

Yet people are throwing out games made by third parties that are exclusive to Xbox, which isn’t what the question asked.

MIDGETonSTILTS17288d ago

A simulator that was built for PC first hardly counts….

ClayRules2012289d ago

Seriously, they melt🤯 that game, ahead of its time.

andy85289d ago

Blew my mind back in 2001 in the bar area, each bottle smashing individuallly when you shot them too. Never seen that before

ClayRules2012289d ago

I’m so glad to see Days Gone get some recognition, because it absolutely is a BEAUTIFUL looking game, and in other times, downright incredible, with its snow forming on the ground over time and the storms coming in with the winds blowing the trees is a sight to behold! I remember at one point I was using photo mode and snapped this photo (I swear) using the filters and other effects the shot I captured looked so realistic, it was remarkable. It was of a leaf 🍁 (others were around it) by this train track and the area was wet from the rain. I captured many others, which turned out fantastic. I’m sure ya’ll captured some fantastic one’s yourselves. Oh, and the horde of freakers 500 coming at you is insane and a sight to see. Wish we could get a sequel, Days Gone deserves it!

Uncharted 4 - Man, that game still blows me away still to this day. ND really captured the adventures of Nate, Elena, Sully and Sam in a way that was not just so stunning to look at, but in a way that EVERY new location, be it in a new area of this specific city, town, jungle, mountain range etc all felt truly living, with life. One of my favorite locations was the old lady’s mansion, such a simple mission, yet so fun, intriguing, sad, and intense all at the same time. And the richness of detail packed into the objects in that mansion is superbly detailed. Anyone notice the couch pillow in Nate and Elena’s house actually mushes down when she rests her arm on it when she’s talking to Nate about him taking the job? ND delivered with best in class character models, yet again. Dirt in nails, I mean🤯 I remember capturing a photo of Nate hanging from a ledge in Madagascar and I snapped a pic, zoomed in, and dirt was in his finger nails, that’s just insane detail. Add on the chest hair blowing in the wind lol.

RDR2 - Masterpiece of a game! In visual details, how this game still looks better than games nowadays (and they don’t even have to be open world) is something else. Fantastic character models, hair/facial hair that grows in real-time, awesome cloud system, NPC characters in the world actually eat their food, cut up their 🥩 among other new details being discovered these almost 5 years later, it’s amazing. Horse testicles. Has me intrigued to see how GTA6 will deliver in comparison to dynamic events etc.

The Last of Us Part 2 - ND took PS4 to its limits with this game. The level of detail in these models is striking, again, best in class, along with the environments. Foliage is phenomenal and doesn’t look like that “cheap” looking video game grass. It’s such a step up in quality. The gore is a visual ummm, I don’t want to say delight, but showcase for depicting how unforgiving that world is. The level of pain, fear and loss on the faces of NPC’s when you take their life in this game as Ellie or Abbie, man I always felt bad about that. And the dogs too… until the dogs came at me, than all bets were off lol. But again, there’s many more details that players who’ve not played this game must see for themselves to appreciate. Motion matching technology to me tho has to be the most impressive thing above even the visuals. Although both compliment each other, playing the game with the tech and the way everything flows so fluidly and smoothly is like playing an E3 demo, each play through feels just that damn good.

Rimeskeem289d ago

Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone. The game was great, just maybe not the same quality as other PS exclusives. They are on the right track though, for their first new IP since 1999 I would say they should be given a chance to polish in a sequel. I can only imagine the madness of hoards they can make with the PS5. Maybe add a coop mode so that friends can be like a biker gang together and take out giant hordes with each other.

Just seems stupid to not give the IP another chance given it (supposedly) sold extremely well.

jznrpg289d ago

As long as it stays single player I hope they do make a sequel. I really enjoyed Days Gone and It would be a guaranteed purchase from me. I have the collectors unopened for the first game.

StormSnooper289d ago

I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Days Gone. It would have some intense hoard fights for sure! This is from a mainly single player gamer. I would want a single player Days Gone II, with a solid multiplayer mode.

Rimeskeem289d ago

I'm not saying to make it massively multiplayer or PVP, just would be nice to explore and kill hordes with a friend or 2.

1Victor289d ago

@Rimes:”Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone.”

Personally I would prefer a remastered Warhawk, Starhawk or better jet a new game in the series even if it’s a GAS 😢
