Im going to assume the very best case scenario is this game delivers on the amazing looking open world but has dogshit missions and overall content. Is is in "Early Access" after all.
 
The glorious shits show is already PC New Orgs fodder


Now that players finally have their hands on The Day Before after numerous delays and questionable announcements from developer Fntastic, it’s abundantly clear the game can’t meet the hype it has gathered over the years. Not even three hours into its early access launch on Steam, players are reviewing The Day Before poorly, claiming it has broken UI elements, a lack of stable servers to connect with, and many game-breaking bugs.

Gamers, media, and even content creators had theorized way beforehand that The Day Before may not be able to meet the hefty promise of its early trailers, at least during its early access launch. Despite the naysayers, Fntastic tried to reassure players the MMO game wasn’t a scam and was improving things behind the scenes. Despite this, the game has launched to negative Steam reviews.

“The UI broke the second I logged in. Then couldn’t connect to a server,” said one Steam reviewer. “When I finally got into a server, I fell through the map and died. Do not play this game.”

Others on the game’s Steam page join the army of negative reviews with similar comments of frustration, some even mentioning the zombie game doesn’t appear to feature many, well, zombies. However, what seems to be a crucial pain point for players is that they can’t even log into The Day Before.

Fntastic has acknowledged experiencing player “overload” on North American servers on Twitter and claimed the servers are still working but filling “up too quickly.” This so far hasn’t helped to stem player frustrations around the server issues. Since this update on social media, Fntastic has yet to respond on plans or a timeline on when the server woes may clear.

As of this writing, The Day Before sits at a ‘Mostly Negative’ review rating on Steam. Early access titles are known to be rough around the edges, and server issues for new PC games are nothing new, but according to reviews, it seems The Day Before wasn’t quite ready to be released to the public, even in early access.

I love this never ending scam.
 
because the game is so new there are no amazing break downs so far, but there will be very soon
but this channel did a pretty decent job, BigFryTV has been following this game so his look at this game is very in depth
MMO was promised, an extraction shooter was delivered is what everybody is saying
posted 1 hour ago, goes over what was promised, what was delivered, and everything wrong with it so far
edit:
Asmongold ended up trying this game, i am just skimming through the video to see fair coverage of it
the first bullet he fires causes the game to crash, timestamped

While I personally never had much interest in this game (I hate "survival" shit) I followed the development because I do play The Division 2, and Division fans were incredibly hype for it. I obviously knew it was gonna be a shitshow based on the development saga, but holy shit I was not expecting a full on bait and switch with an entirely different type of game. i posted this in the general video game chat thread before I knew this one existed, but shit's so bad they even got community noted on their fucking release announcement tweet:

Lol, and now the The Day Before dev's are trying to remove any mention that they were a MMO


Most notable are removing tags on Steam along with removing older video from their youtube channel. The discord is still in lockdown. Of course even with all of that the game had a peek of 38,104 people so even with refund the scam will turn out to be profitable.

I'm 100% sure them switching to unreal 5 is why this game sucks so much, other games switch to unreal 5 (Lords of the Fallen the most recent) and their games all came out very unfinished but not this bad.
 
I hate to brag again, but I fucking called it. The trailer is fake, the premise is fake, the marketing is fake, and the game is the worst game of 2023.

Yet another example of Gamers™ being the absolute dumbest niggercattle on the planet, it doesn't matter if it's AAA slop with predatory microtransactions up the ass or a hilariously obvious scam full of red flags like The Day Before, retards will still consoom product
 
Interesting link to steam discussion post breaking down the scam

Apparently the whole city is made with a Unreal asset pack: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/american-city-packs-bundle/reviews

I gotta admit, I played my fair share of asset flip EA dogshit (no, I didn't buy them) but this one takes the cake. I'm really curious if they used AI at all for the facial animation/models, environment, voicelines, etc. If so, we could be entering a new age of video game scams being coated in an AI-generated veneer attempting to fool customers.

IIRC, there is no way to directly prove this (that is what a few content creators said), but there are even multiple articles out about this

i have watched a fair amount of the gameplay, and every voice line i heard sounded AI generated, and im not the only one
google search "the day before AI voice" to find these results, lots of articles about it
 
Everything that was in the trailers that isn't in the game
(Not really, just the first half of the video)

I'm worried for CDPR now, they are migrating to unreal for their next games.
When a game is released in such a bad state, either they didn't know, or they want to cheat as much money as they can out of the ignorant.
I don't expect a Cyberpunk turnaround. CDPR was at the time of release arguably the biggest gaming studio in Europe, whereas the shiesters behind Day Before only released one indie game before this.
 
I'm genuinely surprised people thought this was going to be a real game. Unless I'm thinking of a different scam, everything I ever saw of this project looked totally fake, and what didn't look fake was clearly just stock assets assembled as lazily as possible and not representative of gameplay.

The only real shock for me is that the game came out at all.
