never played, should I wait for remaster?

[Neverside]

just got done with TLOU 2 and been wanting to play this one. I saw a remastered version is coming out, is that going to be a graphic overhaul or just a new game mode? wondering if I should just wait. I already own Days Gone

The PC version is not getting a remaster - it is just getting the additional content as a $10 DLC.

The remaster content is like some additional challenges that you should buy only if you enjoyed getting gold medals in the base game's challenges.

No it isn't, that isn't the remaster.
The remaster is PC quality graphics ported back to the PS.
The DLC is

Not forgetting that these Gold medals are already listed in the challenge menu, even though you can't play them yet.

If you want to be patient, I'd say wait and get the $10 DLC if only for the early gas tank and nitrous upgrades. One of the biggest parts of the early game being so slow is the tiny gas tank, and a LOT of people seemingly never played beyond that.

Just get it now, the game is better played without ANY upgrades whatsoever. One of the greatest things this game did was making almost literally EVERY SINGLE UPGRADE MATTERS.

No other game that I've played has nailed it the way Days Gone did, there's so many good choices for upgrades that you absolutely want/need and that nailbiting choice of which to upgrade first was a great aspect.

The DLC #cheating/upgrading stuff early takes away some of the best parts of the game imo.

Yes you will HATE that your gas tank is so small initially, get over it and just buy the game already.

thanks for all the replies, started the game tonight!

Nah man, not having a bigger gas tank in the beginning makes that starting area /drag/. It's bad enough there's been multiple people that have dropped it before they even got out of the watchtower over that.
Edit: So I'd say the early unlocks are less of a "cheat" and more of a QoL feature. If they weren't so heavily desired, I doubt they'd be added into the DLC.

I personally prefer if they add an option to enable/disable this "early unlocks" feature when players start a new game. Because early game didn't bother me that much.

Small tank? There are gas cans and fuel pumps all over the place! Even have a pump and can at the starter base. It's a non-issue. Just keep your eyes peeled for anything red or gas pump shaped :)))

The current PC version is one of the better games I've ever played. Well worth the purchase.

Days Gone is ok. If you like games with a survival-vibe and where you do simple survival-crafts like crafting molotov cocktails or bombs for hord-control then why not.

But it's not like Days Gone wouldn't have lots of flaws. For example... the world map of Days Gone looks nice and open on the first look, but when you look deeper into it, the map is made of pretty linear-constructed mini-aerias - which connect to another and have only 1-2 entrances aka exits. And these aerias are surrounded by hills or stones, which work like an inpenetrateable invisible wall.
Means: it feels more like walking or driving through "invisible doors" to enter or exit aerias.

Compared to Fallout 4, for example, you have lesser freedom there - even within the safe zones. You can't even draw your weapons in safe zones and cities.
Not that it would matter, cause the story is extremely linear. There's no decision-making in Days Gone.
And considering the amount of weapons, you can unlock, only 2-3 combinations are really making sense.
Sniper Rifles make no sense, cause even the best Sniper Rifles have only ca. 10-15 rounds per ammo-package, so a single round would cost you like 30-40 camp points each.
While a round on a decent Assault Rifle later equals rather 1-2 camp points and grants you a large ammo reserve on missions, where you can't simply restock ammo from falling enemies, cause this game-mechanic may exist in Fallout, but not in Days Gone!

And yes, on the world map there are lying a limited amount of smaller ammo-packages (mainly for the missions) around, but they won't restock! If you pick them off, you might not have them, when you really need them - for example, when battling hordes or bandits on missions.

------------------------

And that is only the most basic things, you should know. Again, yes... Days Gone has its good aspects, and an easy replayability is secure, cause of NG+, but calling it godlike? Nah... the story is extremely "plump" and way too stereotypical.
And while a Fallout 3-4 grants you a lot of interactions with NPCs, that isn't really the case in Days Gone. It's mainly to make story-progress.
