Let's keep this train going. Late game spoilers. 

Here you go some more texture fun. Late game spoilers tho - 

This is a critical path mission.

Sheesh thats bad  I have never experienced that once and I've played for 30+ hours now. Are you on the base PS4 by any chance?

I have one area that slows the framerate down when I get near it but that's all. Other than that it's been technically fine.

I'm on a Pro. It's pretty bad, the last area is a mess. The things I've seen on a technical level are more terrifying than the freakers. 

One could argue that this thread is in itself "baby mode"

Unplayable how?

Core gameplay is always the same but I'm having a shit tonne more fun with so much more craftable weapons and guns at my disposable then I was at the start. First time I took on a horde it was a shit gun and a couple molotovs. Now I have proxy mines, traps, as much frag, molotovs and pipe bombs as I want, attractors, plus a gun that mows em down. 

A bike that can ride for more than a mile without needing to refuel too.

The frame rate is rarely at 30, hovers like 15-25, constant stutters some even lasting like 10+ seconds, and multiple instances of textures not loading preventing me from progressing main story stuff without having to fully close out of the app. This game is pure garbage in terms of optimization and the bike upgrades seem to make it substantially worse. Straight up the worst performing game i’ve played in a long while which is surprising coming from Sony first party.

This shit has happened multiple times in the same exact area.

Eh, Days Gone doesn't really change much throughout aside from it becoming more and more unplayable the later you get. The hordes are definitely a highlight tho.

i'm surprised nobody has said "sell it" 

Place has softened up, no one here would wish a Switch upon someone else. If anything he should toss it in the trash.

If you're going to pick up Xenoblade grab Torna instead. It's a prequel, it's shorter, and it's cheaper so however awful that franchise continues to be you'll feel less ripped off.

It just doesn't do anything to separate itself from open world games from 10 years ago. Visuals, audio, and the hordes are great tho the performance kinda sucks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They did.

It's a shame that games do this, they always end up being terrible when they do. Just look at Sekiro, Red Dead, Spider-Man...

If it's any consolation you can get through a NG+ run in 4 to 6 hours. Finished my no beads run, end was such a wall. Game is very good.

Doing a no bead run for my 4th playthrough.

I imagine theyd have to cut back on the simulation and visuals which are the only things worth it in this otherwise boring game.

Xbox was a mistake.

Xbox was a mistake.

Gaming is my life.

I could be a little off since I did a ton of the side stuff while progressing (and aim to go back) but that feels about right.

I'd say you're closing in on maybe a 1/3rd? if you mainline it.

If you have people to play with Destiny 2 can be fun. If not don't bother.

Beat Bayonetta 2, solid game. I don't think it ever manages top or even catch up to the impressions I had of the Prologue but it was still a fun time.

Mech, snake, and Loki all suck.

I've had no issues playing with foreign players, netcode seems solid.

You should hit up Joey/Crazymonkey for an invite to our squad/Disco. It might help alleviate most of your issues, a bunch of older SS/SW folks are in there and we play regularly. But ya, I can see it being shitty especially if people start trolling 1 or 2 feint runs but ive been super lucky in that regard. 95% of the time I get Japanese players who just wreck shop.

Got no explanation as to why you weren't being hit but they all hit other players, maybe the hitboxes are weird with said weapons. While sure an option would be nice I don't think the mechanic is gamebreaking. Hell, i've yet to be grouped with truly shitty dudes so far and i'm like 100hrs deep but most of the time my party consists of 2 people I know or 3 japanese people who seem to know what they're doing. It's a bummer not you got in a situation that shitty, guess i've just been super lucky.

Nah, they all totally do. A bad player will be a bad player and the mechanic can be annoying but it has its upsides. The most important one being you can knock players out of the stun status. Ive spent a lot of time in multiplayer and it's a nonissue as long as you use proper spacing and know where you should be.

Only thing I heard of that truly sounds like it sucks is preventing players from carving but i've yet to come across this
