Looks Dr. Seuss Hollywood style to me.

"Why the human teeth?" - Laura Kate Dale, articulating our nameless dread of that which gnaws at the veil (2019) I've only watched some of GG Gab's steams for Days Gone, it's fairly fun to watch somebody else play, but I'm sort of with Gavin on this. It definitely feels like a slog to locate content so you can slog towards more slightly different content - which seems to be looking for motorbike fuel 75% of the time. Also, I don't think you can switch off that "this here is free country boy/NOT STEP ON SNEK" dude who runs that Oregon radio station bollocks. How I wished that guy would just stop talking.

I'm trying to listen to the Podquisition, but in my head all I can hear is Steve of the Eastside SCP Show reading a somber and distressing article about "The Hedgehog Fingers Man" from the foundation.

Gotta echo what Jim said about how much frustration can undo the horror elements of a game. Personally that was why I can't enjoy Outlast or very many of the invincible stalker based games. As soon as I die too many times, I get immensely frustrated and stop finding any elements scary. I got from jumping in my seat to throwing up middle fingers and swearing very quickly.

Hell, I like it (haven't played Days Gone yet"... it is really the art of motorcycle maintenance... it's a repeated loop that is calming, satisfying, and rewarding. It's sorta zen

There are a lot of people, myself included, who find a game that has a loop they like and will play it cause it is satisfying. Sekiro is a game that demands a lot of you from start to finish. Days Gone seems to hit that "Supply, upgrade, maintain, move forward repeat" loop a lot like.

I think Gavin really hit the nail on the head with what he said about Days Gone. It's not a bad game, but there are lot of games out there that do the same but do it better. Why would I play it when I can play more Sekiro? I was surprised by how many people seem to enjoy it, good for them, it's just not for me.
