Playing through it right now on my ps5. Glad I waited, game is amazing. I think I’ve sunk like 30 hours in so far.

This game is one of the best open world and lore/settings integrations I have played in a long while. I just enjoy travelling through it, helping random people, getting rid of the horde bit by bit in a guerrilla warfare like situation, and helping the island rise up while I enjoy its gorgeous and lush landscapes and environment settings. Still the game I am playing the most.
Incredible this is smooth 30 FPS on the base 1.84 TFLOPS PS4 with 8 GB of RAM and standard HDD...

Uhm... it is already stable 4K@60 FPS on PS5, it has been like this for a while.
They removed the frame rate lock on the 4K high resolution PS4 Pro settings mode when running on PS5 and the game is running at 99.899% locked 60 FPS.

Yeah delsin was a shit protagonist, but the gameplay in the third one was by far the better.
They can still revive cole for a sequel or having a new protagonist.

Mr. Community
It’s part of the psplus collection.
Take a look at your number again.
Please use 5M(similar to frame as last number of gamestat before archive) unit sold and 5.8 players stats for GOT.
The older the game the more inflate the number of players according to gamestat.
Days gone should be around ~4M units.

Several people in this thread, including myself are waiting for a price drop. I plan to play it on my PS5 but I am not paying full price for a PS4 game many months after release. So I am sure many others will pounce too. TLOU2 was on sale for 30 bucks and that is when I grabbed that game.

Why should we take 5M? Also, I took inflation into account by bringing the calculated figure from almost 11M down to 8-9M.
~4M units seem like pure guesswork. The variance, as seen in Ghost of Tsushima figures, isn't ~55%, but ~12.5%.

GOTY 2020
Because it's closer to the last recorded player stats when they announced 5M milestone. Using newly released game like GOT is impractical. Even gamestat.com stated their estimate was useful for newly released games.

Fair, but the game is definitely worth full price. 4K@60 FPS and quick loading times does not scream budget price only.

About 40mll. Sony Studios exclusives, funded titles (%14+), the rest are 3rd party games. So 6.5 out of 40 is not bad. In other words, %33 of the PS4 playerbase bought a sony title and %66 have not. And it would be closer to %40+ if we had definite numbers for Sony´s 2020 catalogue.
%2.4+ of that was GOT (6.5)
%4.0+ of that was TLOU2 (10+)
%2.0+ of that FF7RE (5+)
%1.5+ of that Miles Morales (4+)
%1.0+ of that Demon´s Souls RE (3+, using BB numbers, my guess)
%1.5+ MLB 2020 "best selling baseball game of the franchise", no numbers
%0.7+ of that NIOH2 (1 to 2mll, my guess)
%0.5+ Persona 5 Royal (japan numbers only, 1.5mll.)
%0.5+ Dreams (my guess)
%0.1+ Ironman VR (my guess)
%0.0+ Predator: Hunting Grounds ..

Well deserved. Wish Sony would get their act together so I could buy a ps5 to finish this. Damn broken console...grrr.... Never made it past the first island before my launch ps4 started to crap out.

I'd play GoT a million x over before messing with the crap fest that druckman did to tlou2 (tlou1 was one of my favorite games). Mechanics can be updated but a crap story/plot makes a game.

Deserves more sales. Fuck is wrong with gamers
I really enjoyed it,but it does kinda devolve into "kill these bandits\mongels to complete quest."
By the third section of that game,I gave up on side quests and just plowed through the main campaign.
The mp is WAY more varied and interesting,but that is mystical shit that wouldn't really work in the actual game.
So I wouldnt be surprised if it didn't have amazing word of mouth honestly.

Enjoyed every moment with the game.
Looking forward to the sequel on the PS5 when I can eventually get one when they’re readily available at a retail outlet in 2024.

I think you all forgot to note that days gone has been free on ps+ and for ps5 owners for a long time now. I would go as far to say a huge portion of it was redeemed for free.

For me it’s the usual AAA Sony sucker punch game and that’s a great thing to say, samurais are the shit.

Well deserved. I don't often get any kind of bitter about review scores but this was one of those times I felt the general critical reception was lower than it should have been and it irked me. This game easily deserved to be scored higher than mid-80s. Thankfully the commercial success of this game is certainly what I felt it deserved. I'm curious to see where its sales will land by its 1-year anniversary. Though as much as I really enjoyed it, I keep wanting Sucker Punch to go back to Infamous. Second Son and First Light aren't the send-offs that franchise deserves. I keep imagining a sequel where Delsin became the new super villain and Cole comes back to put him down. Regardless, the 6 million sales of Second Son and now the 6.5 million of Tsushima show that Sucker Punch deserves to be spotlighted alongside Sony's bigger studios.

Lethal mode is the best way to play in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it for a first playthrough though.
Lethal mode actually forces you get gud and prioritize a build early on in the game. Additionally, the smaller room for error actually lends the sword-based combat a lot more intensity which requires legit finesse instead of button-mashing + spamming water style to win. Enemies go down quick, but so do you. Personally, I start the game maxing out Traveler's Attire (because I'm a masochist) and with a build that prioritizes generating resolve. I love the sword combat so I avoid stealth at all costs. Almost feels like a Souls game.

Man I really enjoyed this game in the beginning but I am losing serious steam and interest fast. I was doing a bunch of side quests and am at the final mission of ACT 1. Is it even worth continuing? Does anything open up to change in the next acts?
The fights are really easy and it doesn't appear like I'm going to unlock much else. I want to like it because it was really captivating for the first 20 hours but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere else.

These are for November 2020. Days Gone became free on PS+ on November 2020. So a very, very tiny percentage (< 2%) would be because of that, considering the PS+ collection is only available for PS5 owners. How many people could own and play Days Gone realistically in Nov. 2020.

Game mechanics won't change (except one, which is a spoiler). The ending of act 2, in terms of story, is absolutely marvelous and very well done.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
I finished the game, but maybe like...90% completion?
Game is fun, but its way too overrated.
Pros: Visuals, settings, hack and slash feels nice, tales were interesting and kept me interested,
Cons: Lack of environment variety, quest are repetitive, animations were lacking and normal NPC faces were not memorable (except the important NPC like ishikawa etc...) , i dont like the NPC conversation system, looks dead to me.
I give it an 8., its a good start though.

Yep, I bought this game at full price on release and I am perfectly happy to have done so.
