I know you're probably never gonna play it, so this might fall on deaf ears
but ...
- 90% of the game's technical issues have been resolved with the patches (The game is on 1.08 right now, reviewers played 1.02)
- The first zone of the game is really shoddy and the game has a very bland opening, but after you exit the first zone and go south, the game really opens up with new areas, new characters and a lot more interesting story quests)
- Days Gone doesn't have the twitch shooting of a Rage 2, but coming across a zombie horde of 300+ enemies is a really incredible and thrilling game play scenario. And it has around 35 or so hordes dotted on the map which you may come across while doing another story quest randomly).
