Days Gone is a game I've always wanted to play, but the dialogue seems so cringey and difficult to get past - is it as bad as I think it is?

Well I'd really have no way of knowing how bad you think it is. The main char talks too much and has kind of a slimy feel to me but the gameplay is great. I've been having to make myself stop playing of a night so I don't stay up all night, can't remember the last game that was like that.

It’s less annoying than The last of Us 2 dialogue, if that means anything. Days Gone was fantastic. I enjoyed it immensely. Might be partly because the setting was my backyard, but it surprised me how much I liked it.

Ah well if it's less annoying than Last Of Us 2 then I'm in, I'll finally get it on the next sale.

I’ll second a recommendation for this. If you still have a PS+ sub, I think it’s included. Otherwise, goes on sale fairly frequently and is upgraded / remastered for PS5.

Some of the dialogue can be a little corny at times, but overall the story is quite good. Some great soundtracks and DEI is kept to a minimum (that I remember) outside of your token Lesbian Couple (and of course they’re both minorities). Even if you just power through the story, you should be able to get 25+hrs out of it.

I think the main issue the game had when it first came out was that it was a buggy mess. I waited 6+ months after the original release to play it and they had fixed pretty much everything by then. This was before Sony went full woke, so it’s one of the last “good” stories they had with their exclusive titles before DEI / Woke slop fully took over. Shame we won’t be getting a sequel, apparently.

I finished Resonance : A Plague Tale Legacy on PS5, took me about 15 or so hours, but still need to go back and pick up stuff I've missed in chapters.

Honestly if you were on the fence because the first two Plague Tale games were a bit too stealth-focused for you, this is a very different experience. It feels a lot more like a medieval Tomb Raider game, with a lot of melee combat and some seriously creepy/tense moments, also a lot of exploration and some cool puzzle-solving.

Despite playing a different protagonist (Sophia from Plague Tale Requiem), this has links to the main Plague Tale story and it gives a lot of insight into the origins of the Prima Macula, very interesting stuff.

I can't recommend the game enough if you're into a cool adventure with a lot of atmosphere, very good soundtrack and a good story.

when it came out it was for PS4 which had no where near the ass to run the game. I was in single digit frames trying to outrun a horde on the bike. I quit until it came back out on PC (so technically I 'double dipped') on something with enough ass to run it. Unfortunately there is still some jank (could be me modding it) for instance, I fell under the world during a cut scene last night.
