While not inherently bad, Days Gone still received mixed reception and didn’t perform as well as Sony and Bend Studio would have liked. And John Garvin, one of the main writers on the game, obviously has some skills under his belt.
For him, if Days Gone received as much encouragement and less good feedback than he would have liked from the press and specialist sites metacriticalthat’s because no one bothered to play the game, and the so-called “wake” community would have been shocked.
The press is too “awake” to appreciate Days Gone, everyone knows it
The man actually responded to a fan on Twitter who said he didn’t understand why Last days had not carded. John Garvin then tells him that he thinks there are three main reasons for this.
Three reasons:
There were technical issues like bugs or even the frame rate.
Critics didn’t bother playing the game.
And third, there were critics who couldn’t stand to see a gruff white biker staring at his girlfriend’s ass.
Yes, for Garvin, “the critics” who dare criticize Days Gone just didn’t play the game and were too “awake” to play a white biker checking his girlfriend’s ass (we’ll stay polite anyway) .
The web catches fire, John Garvin goes into hiding
Arguments that quickly ignited Twitter and even prompted reactions from industry figures, such as Jason Schreier, who responded not without humor.
That’s absolutely right, because as we all know, video games starring rugged white men never get positive reviews.
Indeed, it is difficult to remain impassive in the face of such “arguments”, so much so that they are, shall we say, utterly absurd. The latter is even disturbing, especially since the man then made fun of it in the comments and even tweeted several times on the subject, noting in particular that he found it funny that the term “woke” was disturbing.
What is funny in this case is that the screenwriter permanently blocked his account shortly afterwards. The sprinkler has watered.
Last days maybe not a must, but still fun. Flaws, yes, he has them from start to finish, but Deacon is by no means the problem, on the contrary, the character proves particularly endearing and his badass side gives him charisma. Also, many fans are asking for one past days 2, but is unfortunately not on Sony’s agenda. However, this does not prevent Bend Studio from being used in other projects.
