When I started this I thought I was gonna be hated #1 considering I didn’t like sword and shield and the numerous amounts of bugs in the game, but I had fun. The performance is really bad. I didn’t have horrible glitches, but I had some. The lag and draw distance are also pretty awful. Also game is pretty ugly. Like I thought sword and shield were ugly and this game has me looking at those games and thinking damn! This game just has zero drip. Alright so I don’t hate this game. I really like the open world format and I really enjoyed all the QOL improvements. So, it’s fun, but flawed for sure

I’ve been slowly plugging away at days gone on the back burner for the longest time and I’ve finally finished it! I tried this game a couple years ago and gave up early in because I got stuck on an annoying mission. A while later I decided to give it another shot, but this time slowly and taking breaks to play other games as well. Definitely a mixed bag overall. Way less buggy than when it first launched, but has some performance hiccups here and there still. The combat is fine, it does the job. It has a few too many systems imo. Like its systems are as wide as a lake and as deep as a puddle. So, I really think it would’ve benefitted from some simplification. What’s really cool about the gameplay is the motorcycle riding and exploration are actually really fun and the best part of the game. The hoards are also pretty impressive. It definitely feels like a lot of energy went into making these work. The music is generic MCU orchestral music. There’s really no reason the music needed to be like this. I honestly really didn’t like the story at all. No shade to people who like it, but I can’t stand the most famous game based in Oregon is filled with Redneck bikers. Yes people like this exist in Oregon, but it’s really not the Oregon I know. The dialogues in my humble opinion is dogshit and I hate it. I get it was inspired by sons of anarchy, but redneck biker shit is literally the lamest thing ever. You could’ve made something else so much cooler with a motorcycle. Example being akira. It’s an apocalyptic story with a guy who rides a bike and it’s sick! This is not. Also stuff with rednecks can work look at the red dead games! They have great writing and dialogue as opposed to this game. I hate the relationship he has with that one lady too! Also he helps slaver camps! It doesn’t feel like a critique on slavery either. He just helps them and earns money and sure Oregon just put the final nail on the coffin with slavery in our state legislation and like 42% of the population wanted to not pass it, but I digress. So, I don’t know if I made it clear, but I live in the town this game was made in. Which is why I really wanted to give this game a chance. I figured I owed it that. They tried to base it off of central Oregon specifically and it’s pretty well made, but it’s a bit of a hit and a miss. There’s a couple of noteworthy landmarks from the area, but they literally removed the city and surrounding towns that exist in this area. In a lot of ways it f La more like eastern Oregon in the fact that there’s nothing there. Some of the geography is pretty inaccurate. Like mt. Bachelor is not that close to crater lake. Also central Oregon has more sunny days than San Diego so, there really isn’t that much rain. The valley and the coast which is like 1/3 of the state get a lot of rain, but central Oregon really doesn’t. This game has lots of rain tho. I feel like they were vaguely basing the world off the state rather than being accurate and why do that? Either make it fictional or try to be 100% accurate imo anyways a bit overhated, but has its flaws especially for me and my biggest problem is I just hate the story, dialogue and characters a lot. That being said please try this game out. You might like it and it’s worth giving it a shot to see if it’s for you or not.

Played this game at an arcade in Eugene, Or last night. To me this was especially fitting since Springfield was named after Springfield, Or which is right next to Eugene. There’s been a lot of debate on which Springfield n the USA it was named after, but Matt Groening is from Portland and has even confirmed that it was named after Springfield, Or. anyways, the game itself is a really simple arcade beat em up. That being said it’s still a lot of fun to play and the art and presentation are packed with so much attention to detail.
