      Unless you are arguing for the sake of discount or bug fixes, idk what difference buying it later will do in regards to "future support". All the story DLC is going to cost extra as a separate purchase. It states as much when you read the description of the different editions of the game. So as far as "support" goes, i don't think the game is going to get any free content updates for this previously mentioned later.

He begins muttering to himself, psyching himself up. It's great. Super small touches, but really motivating when you come across them. Also, listen to the theme ''Empowering Yourself'' if you ever feel down.

      @TheStraightestWhitest 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well Techland ran into issues with the #MeToo movement and the obvious government lockdowns, so they probably meant to do more than what we got. Expect something more about Crane in a DLC for sure. They always give their games tons of love even after release. Hell, especially after release. DL1 from 2018 to 2021 was legit twice as good of a game. From 2015 to 2018 possible three times so.
      The fact that this is in my opinion gameplay wise at least already better than the first means we're in for a hell of a game a few months down the line. I wish companies that actually gave a shit about their fandom and aren't just trash rehashers like the big heads such as Ubisoft and Naughty Dog had more manpower and more time. Imagine if this game had an infinite deadline and hundreds of folks working on it like RDR2.

    I would like to point out that in the months after release, the game has been upgraded with more aggressive zombies and they are more easily triggered into aggressive states by other zombies noticing you. Volatiles are less rare and will actually stare you right in the face if you go into certain areas during daytime. I played this game early september and had many encounters where I had to NOPE outta there. The story isn't the best indeed, but still I found myself caring somewhat about how things would unfold. Overall great game, worthy successor of the first game for sure.

    hopefully the game fleshes out well with time, Dying Light 1 had a lot of stuff added to it throughout the years, given that fortunately techland actually cares about their games and the communities that are tied with them. IF Techland's marketing for this game stays stellar like it has, the DLC and updates are gonna improve this game 10 fold. Honestly I'm in a honeymoon phase with the game right now, HUGE fan of the first one so its a bit of a tough pill to swallow to hear that the more I play the more I will find out the underwhelming of the game. I am an optimist how ever, so I have high hopes with this game and techland. Anyone feel the same or contrary?

      This game will 100% get even better and I completely agree with you there. They did say it would have 5 fucking years of support which is great. A lot of the things I see people take issue with I doubt they can fix, like the voice acting and the rpg-ness, but I personally don't have a problem with either of those things at all so I'm a happy camper.
      And about the honeymoon phase thing, idk about that bro. I think the gaming communities standards have simply risen too high as a defence mechanism against so many disappointments. I actually think that people are being too harsh, I don't think it's a honeymoon phase at all and that it's actually a good game. For example, if skyrim came out today, it would be a laughing stock.
      I would also contest that DL1 came out and everybody thought it was kind of meh, and nowadays you have people making videos about how it's the best zombie game of all time. I think we need to give this game a lot longer to really sit with us and look back retrospectively to really appreciate it, just like the first game.

And the bar gets so high that games can never reach that because it would be too ambitious, or too costly. And I think that the talent cannot keep up unless people in these companies get experience. See Ds2 was not directed by Miyazaki. Instead someone new got to have the exerience of that challenge. Some teams lose too much talent such is the case with Obsidian or others give up. But devs need response and time so they can develop their skills and get better. That's what I hope Techland does is develop talent in their team and try to keep it.

    Although both the games had bad stories I enjoyed the story of the first one better even though you didn’t get a say in it, it really showed dread and the struggle of crane trying to save the people of the tower. I feel like if you got story choices like in the second game the story of the first would be way more interesting since you could choose to either destroy the GRE files or keep them and get on the helicopter or something like that

      I thought the first game was nothing but rage inducingly stupid story wise. The gameplay absolutely made up for it, but man... So many flaws. Rais is easily the worst antagonist in gaming, and there's just so much stupid shit like Crane legit burning all those crates of antizin KNOWING that he might not even get anything out of Rais. Why not stuff it in one of the containers or bushes nearby? And the irony is, he even takes a vial, yet when it comes to using it later, it's like that vial has just disappeared. Rais has to throw him one and make him choose between him and Jade. So they specifically show him pocketing that shit, then it just goes nowhere. Even when he needs it, he can't use it. It's like it never happened.
      There's so many little things like that that are just so badly written.

      So you’re telling me the first ones was scary? It was only even remotely scary for an hour or two, the volatiles in dying light 2 are no joke and fighting them while 5 more are coming at you is not recommended. In dying light 2 you as the player are so scared of volatiles that you have to resort to running. On the ps5 version of dying light 2 people barely have the kill a volatile trophy due to how much they’re trying to run away from them. In the first one fighting volatiles is easy since it’s usually one, in this game they flood out of windows, vents, bust out of doors, truly showing you how bad they want to kill you and devour you. In the first game they just chased you (wow spooky, 1 volatile, so scary). They did a way better job making the second one scarier, scarier music which gives anxiety, the infected are quicker and constantly spawn in front of you to keep you on your toes so that you have to keep making quick choices on the fly, they flood out of apartments and jump out of windows of skyscrapers to add even more emphasis on how desperate they are to kill you. Play the game for yourself and see, watching reviews by the same guy that gives all of the good shit 70-80’s isn’t the same as you playing it for yourself and seeing. It’s an improvement to the first in every single aspect Just as a sequel should be, better parkour, better combat, better story, longer story, more content in the base game, more fun.

While in DL2 getting caught off guard by even 1 volatile is enough to get you killed instantly. It kinda, you know makes it feel as if the volatiles are supposed to be stronger and not weak enough to just get beaten down by you in 2 seconds just to move onto the next one.
      Like seriously. In the first you didn't even have to use the UV light to kill them. You just bashed them over the head with a normal baseball bat until they eventually just died in a couple hits. In DL2 they feel like an actual force to be reckoned with. They are strong, fast, and not to be fucked with under any circumstances not only due to the sheer amount of them that show up during a chase but because they are just strong and hard to kill in general.

    You can fight volatiles in the game just not in missions. Also if your in neutral territory then you will definitely see a lot more zombies. It's just once you start assigning buildings to factions and get all those windmills and stuff that the humans start to take over more land and zombies and bandits start to lessen in the area except for buildings. The dark zones are where all the zombies are at. Also I'm sure you didn't notice but there replaced running out of stamina when you run to running out of stamina when you climb. Your not stopping every five seconds when you run so the stamina only depletes when fighting and climbing. And all though night has been dimed down (at least until you get chase level four) they do a lot of night missions that can be both side and story missions that make you go out at night.

      I feel a lot of the reviewers are just sort of trying to finish the game and make a review on it quickly, and I feel its tainting the reviews to a small degree. especially when it comes to things like the length of the game and such, since they would have to play far longer than normal to pump out a review in time. this will probably be one of those things where the game is talked about more positively as time goes on...

It reminds me of the feral ghouls in fallout 3. Something about a visceral scream and the squishing of raw rotten feet in a dark cramp space is scary to me. The new variety of zombies and more human enemies is very good too.

      Aç köz arstan
      Bul ukmuştuuday ısık kün bolçu, jana arstan abdan açka bolgon.
      Uyunan çıgıp, tigi jer-jerdi izdedi. Al kiçinekey koyondu wins taba algan. Al bir az oylonboy koyondu karmadı. '' Bul koyon menin kursagımdı toyguza albayt '' dep oylodu arstan.
      Arstan koyondu öltüröyün dep jatkanda, bir kiyik tigi tarapka çurkadı. Arstan aç köz bolup kaldı. Kiçine koyondu emes, çoŋ kiyikti jegen jakşı dep oylodu. # 垃圾
      They are one of the best concerts, you can not go but just seeing them from the screen, I know it was surprising

    I agree with most of this review but I disagree with zombies not being a threat. Exploring forsaken areas or places with inhibitors I have become overwhelmed with zombies multiple times and died. Also military crate areas you can get swarmed by zombies fairly fast. I play on hard difficulty and I don’t know what difficulty Moist played but other than that I agree with the review.

    I really like this game a lot. I think the story isn't nearly as bad as Charlie says tbh. Not every games needs to be narrative master piece. Its a fun cheesy action movie type of story

      Very true, if it was a standalone I would agree, but it's not, dl1 has a far more interesting story that isn't nearly as in the way as this one.
