Being allowed to move around and look as you want while it explodes is soo much more immersive tho. As soon as the game grabs the controls, I lose a lot of my immersion.
Reminds me of one section in Half Life: Alyx where the devs commented that they changed an area because the players weren't paying attention to the derailing train they painstakingly animated. Be cool and watch the explosion guys. The devs will love ya
@@AnotherHim It also happened there too, during the neurotoxin explosion. They added a sign to the wall that read, "In case of implosion, look directly at implosion"
This reminds me of Portal 2. At the part where you destroy the neurotoxin generator, playtesters would always look away from the implosion, so they put a sign in the game that says "In case of implosion, look directly at implosion."
I remember looking back, seeing the building collapse, running for the sewer opening and jumping in as it crashed while creating tremors as if it missed me by a hair's breadth. One of the few times a game made me feel badass for sticking somewhat to the "cool guys don't look at explosions" trope
I remember when I did this part with a friend, we watched it and then right after, tried to get a look at the rubble and if I could get in that area still, managed to somehow get my way in before becoming stuck and it eventually killed me (I think) but the rubble is all basically walk-through transparent, you can see it but it's not solid ground, but don't try to work your way back in as that's how you get stuck trying to see the remains of the destruction haha but cool to look at nonetheless
@SFBNO It's like Ghost from Modern Warfare 2, he is just a random partner and dies pretty quick into the game and everyone loved him since then back in 2009
@sfbno6430nah in a zombie apocalypse, likeability had no effect on opinions, because ultimately, everyone represents a chance for humanity. Also his sister was hot so u feel bad
Gonna be honest. This mission I ran like hell cause I thought 2 things. 1 that there was a bunch of zombies on my ass and 2 the building was gonna fall on me. So I didn’t bother looking, I just ran
this is my first time seeing it not cuz i just ran away but because i literally fell into a hole right when the building collapsed and was trying to climb out to see but i fucking missed it LOL
The best part of game explosions is being able to look back freely, watch all the destruction crumble down…then slowly realize the destruction is coming towards you so you run the hell outta there 😂
I remember it was night when I exploded the building, when I got out of the building there were more than 2 volatiles waiting for me outside. I just ran like a mad man without even looking back😂
I actually remember looking back because I wanted to see if we would actually see the tower go down. Many dev just ommit this part and have a shitty way make it go away, it was a nice sights to see it. I would have been disappointed if it did not for me.
I think the line is where the player's know they can look at an explosion if they want to, but they don't have to. The unwanted extremes being either: forced to look at the explosion, or missing it completely
From every single standpoint this is a much smarter design decision. It adds replayability to the game, because the next time you play there may be things you didn't see before, and it will feel great to notice them then. And regardless of whether you're watching it the first time or not, if feels very satisfying and rewarding when YOU were the one noticing it. Unfortunately, AAA games are often developed by people who are ignorant about lots of fundamental things that they shouldn't be ignorant about. That why cutscenes and many post-processing fx exist...
I fell backwards into the sewer manhole while trying to get in a good spot to watch the explosion. It was also at night so I couldn’t see much of anything. Now I can see what it looks like.
Bro I love your videos, they are short and direct to the point. I havent' played DL2 since launch. Im waiting to the parkour update this month. Do you think its much better since launch? when I finished it I was like.. meh.. and I dont want to experience it again
I have no clue what's coming with the parkour update, but the game feels so much better with better animations and physics, small improvements etc. also a new DLC is on the way definitely give it a try.
There is way better ragdolls and the combat has improved majorly with the gut feeling update, the parkour update will be fixing momentum issues and stuff and most bugs have been fixed, I'd recommend revisiting it
Agreed that DL2 was pretty bad from launch, but I am happy to say the game is significantly better from a free roam standpoint with random Volatiles roaming at night, new enemies, and new crafting options. However, story wise, I think this game still flops. Choices never seem to truly matter unless it’s a characters death which just affects who you see in the world later and just changes how you get to the ultimate same end goal with slightly different coloring. In the end there’s really only 2 endings. Where the city falls, and the multiple flavors of ending where you don’t let the city fall.
@@TheFunnyDictator Well, it felt like a whole new game that was bootlegged from the first. The zombies were significantly different and we barely get much explanation. We don't have a ton of background to Aiden when we start the game, just a survivor who knows spike somehow and is looking for a guy, that from the start, we don't really care to know about until he mentions him. The investment of the story happens later when you finish the tutorial which I think is okay but is a bit late. The first game you know the history, you know Kyle Crane is a GRE agent, you are thrust into the world from plane, meet the antagonists goons immediately, get bit then meet the good guys. The plot is served to you very quickly to allow it to sink in. Additionally, I hate the DL2 'human volatiles' like Waltz and Aiden was. It felt too science fiction. Like, I play Dying Light for the zombies, not this weird X-men stuff. Now, of course this is opinionated. I am not the be all end all of reviewing a game. Personally, I just feel like the first game was more cohesive, interesting and emotionally impactful than the 2nd. the 2nd has its pros over the first, but I still prefer the first. I do have more I would like to say but I rather not write a novel to explain every point why.
In portal 2, there is a sign that says "INCASE OF IMPLOSION, STARE DIRECTLY AT IMPLOSION" The reason for this sign is because playtesters kept looking away and missing the implosion animation that the devs worked too hard on.
Honestly i left without looking because its a freaking (if im not wrong) nest with a lot of walkers and the entire place was getting demolished and seemed to fall on top of me. Need to emphasize the "FALL ON TOP OF ME" part.
Best kind of game design is where they don't force you to watch, meaning you could miss it and be very confused, and then be in awe when you reload and witness the destruction the second time around (in a SP game at least)
I like Portal 2s where they don't want to force players to watch but they don't want players to miss the explosion, so what the map maker/environment designer/whoever did this did was put a sign that said "in case of explosion look at explosion"
that's because the dev only put the event trigger box right there without forcing the rotation of z axis of the camera, maybe they too lazy for it, unlike cod trigger box event.
It reminds me of the glassing of New Alexandria in Halo Reach. If you're actually paying attention to what's going on in the background it's genuinely a chilling scene, but it's possible to just not be looking in the right direction and completely miss it.
Reminds me of Battlefield 4 multiplayer, you are not forced to watch the shangai tower fall or the antena destruction on caspian border, but everybody just stop what they are doing to just to see.
Thats the thing with optional stuff, i was playing skyrim and was skipping dialogue of a character because i thought it was for a quest. When i realised it's option i was like "huh, now i linda wana talk to him, because im not forced to"
This game was too busy forcing you into canned grab animations to miss this event. It was likely an oversight given how many other times camera control was wrenched away from the player.

IN CASE OF IMPLOSION
LOOK DIRECTLY AT IMPLOSION
- Aperture Science
One of the many reasons why Dying Light feels so real... No one in the right mind would stay there and look at the explosion if it were irl
that demolition looked so goofy.
The building just sinks into the ground
this main character sounds like sonic with a deeper voice
I did this mission last week (and it's my first playthrough of this game) very good so far but still prefer to sleep at night :)))
In portal 2, there is a sign that says "INCASE OF IMPLOSION, STARE DIRECTLY AT IMPLOSION" The reason for this sign is because playtesters kept looking away and missing the implosion animation that the devs worked too hard on.
Mmmmh indeed, I don't remember looking at this explosion before today...
Damn I didn't know Sonic liked blowing up buildings.
This entire mission would be a cutscene in DL2 lmao
I just realized this is the same voice actor that plays Mirage in Apex Legends
Honestly i left without looking because its a freaking (if im not wrong) nest with a lot of walkers and the entire place was getting demolished and seemed to fall on top of me. Need to emphasize the "FALL ON TOP OF ME" part.

i didnt know u could just stay and watch thought I would die. until I replayed the game and saw how amazing it looked :)
The reason I didn’t look back was because I knew something happened to Rahim and I was rushing to get to him
I like Portal 2s where they don't want to force players to watch but they don't want players to miss the explosion, so what the map maker/environment designer/whoever did this did was put a sign that said "in case of explosion look at explosion"

Finished this game 3 times and this is the first time I see the building go down!
i did stay back and look
I looked at the explosion and then when I got to Rahim I was like "huh, wonder if I could have saved him had I not admired that explosion."
meanwhile in borderlands: Dont look at the explosion, just walk away from it. youll look like such a badass
Many players run away without looking back and don't even know that Volatiles are chasing us in this building :)
I didnt look back because I knew the volatiles were chasing me out of the building
I just run for my life in that scene Didn’t know you can just stand there and watch lmao
lol
God the voice acting is so good in that game.
These type of games would be so dope in vr
The Finals has entered the chat
I entered the building during the night so I didn't see the explosion properly
Out of context but i just went back to my music Playlist from 5 years back and honestly I question how i enjoyed it back then
Why you not watch the cutscene of the building going down. Literally one of the cool scenes in dying light. Dying Light was such a good game bro
The voice actor that voiced this character also voices mirage in Apex legends. Very cool
that's because the dev only put the event trigger box right there without forcing the rotation of z axis of the camera, maybe they too lazy for it, unlike cod trigger box event.

Looking back was the first thing I did, didn’t know people didn’t watch
Crysis 2 did it best. It prompted you to Hold a button to look an event like this, but you could just ignore it if you wanted.
