@@nickgarcia1292 That's normal. Every great game usually has a boring introduction. Skyrim with the execution scene. Witcher 3 with White Orchard. Keep playing and you'll see why this game is beloved by many.
I remember the first time I faced the night in this game without really knowing what Dying Light was like. Honestly, it was one of the most terrifying experiences in games for me, I think only Alien: Isolation could match it. Edit: much love from Brazil!
For me it was the second night The first one, you're close enough to the tower that its pretty quick and easy. But the second one, I was deep, away from all claimed safehouses. Literally took the whole night trying to get to one, ended up not making it and just barely managed to survive the night I still remember shooting the volatile as it ran at me, but just before it reached me, the sun came up, and I legitimately felt true relief when the volatile started burning and running away
im still avoiding the night like a pelage, now later on i might not but for now im doing it wtih Perouse, because i do not like it! and the voltiles as bad ass as they are whne seeing em as a veiwer its scarry as fuck when playing.
Dude, that first mission with the Volatile chase... I never lost the Volatile. It chased me the entire fucking time until I made it to the tower. The only time I was so scared I nearly passed out in a game. It make me light headed
@Patrick Shepherd the following wasnt that much of a horrific experience in my regards. i always had close to 40 bandages, so i was mostly reckless since i had backup
I just got the grapple, and trying to grab onto high ledges is suicide because crane doesn’t grab anything even when you press the button, unless the grapple is attached to something more short ranged. Maybe I’mJust not used to the grapple yet. It can be useful but still.
@@Secret_Takodachi the sequel is coming in december and it was delayed so much just so they can actually release a finished product and not something like cyberpunk
The one that really got to me was the mission “Chasing Past” where you’re following clues from a tape recorder from a kid who ends up becoming mute due to a traumatic experience and his buddy Mike. Mike ends up being a dog and the traumatic experience is the kid goes down to the basement and sees dismembered bodies butchered for cooking and the dog as well. Turns out it was a cannibal that lived in the apartments and while you find this out, the cannibal comes out and attacks you screaming “MEAT, MEAT.” Threw me all off
The first night was probably one of the most memorable and scary moments I can recall from this game. Eventually i got pretty used to it and found it far less scary and stressful, but hopefully Dying Light 2 can pull something even better off
@@jakematic1618 Dying Light had an incredibly mediocre campaign though. Rais is literally just a copy of the villain from Far Cry 3 and I can think of several games that have much more engaging stories. That’s just me though.
@@Y33tastic Yes story was average but gameplay was too much fun. Also the open world was small but very rich. My only problem was that they should have made random encounters purely random like in Fallout instead of marking it on map. Also mission did not have much variety.
This game had the best community I've ever experienced. So many nice players jumped into my game and hooked me up with high level weapons and just left or hung out for a while
This is so true ... i first was confused why people joined my story game and stayed although i was really slow thinking and acting at some times but they still stayed and helped me out every single time and i was confused because i thought they wanted something because most of the gaming community is selfish and doesnt help if they dont get something in exchange .... really nice community in dying light ... refreshing
@@vinceloeschke6256 I tried to bring that mentality to other games. In gta I always invite everyone on the map to my garage and let them pic a vehicle to try out and would help them do their business missions. Everyone I met in dying light was friendly and very giving. Not many communities are this awesome I hope 2 is the same I'm excited to get it
@@THIS---GUY thanks for making the gaming community better lmao, I remember this one time this guy on dying light gave me a bunch of rare weapons and I just thought it was so cool how other people were helping me
The devs of dying light deserve all the praise in the world, they never allowed the game to get boring, always something new to do, god I wish more devs respected their playerbase like they do
What are your thoughts on the story? Like many others I think that was worst part of the game. I'll say though, they did improve it with the Following DLC
@@bradcampbell8101 story is definitely debatable but not as super bad as some critics would like u to believe and yes they really redeemed themselves in that domain with the Following DLC
@@bradcampbell8101 Honestly Kyle Crane was super relatable, and I loved the characters so it was easy for me to get invested in the story! :) Roger Craig Smith is an amazing voice actor, and the pain and sadness in his voice made the main deaths hit much harder.
@@bradcampbell8101 I liked the characters more than I liked the story, they all were very multifaceted with different experiences shaping who they are now, but the story was mainly a means to introduce new zombie types and locations, i did like how the perspective on the government begins to shift though, from being a Leon Kennedy sent to complete the mission to becoming the Hero of the people standing up as their protector
@@matthewhamilton2913 Absolutely do love that transition in the story and framing of Kyle and the government! I personally really enjoyed the way Crane would act when he had to debt collector for Rais. His obvious disgust at the situation and trying to be as nice as possible while also doing what needed to be done was very humanizing.
When I first bought this game, I actually quit playing it because it freaked me out too much at night with headphones on. I eventually got into it a few years later and put like 100 hours in. Great game.
I was really enjoying Dying Light until the first night mission - couldn't get through it and never played it since. I think Dying Light 2 looks amazing but just don't think I can handle it!
@@FrankYoungUK ya from the looks in 2 the nights, and for that matter nests are gonna be a lot worse, BUT UV is lethal tot hem and day is entirly humans only
What makes the first night even more unsettling is that you must go back all the way to the tower. Time progression is stopped and while your usual hideouts have UV-lights you're not allowed to sleep there
@@blogdogs9462 not that I know of. Maybe it got changed or I remembered it wrong (haven't played in years). I ran to a nearby hideout and couldn't sleep, but maybe it wasn't fully unlocked (some hideouts only unlock the sleeping bag after a certain mission). The UV lights were on and the Volatiles couldn't find me there, but with time being frozen I couldn't just stand in the light until sunrise
@@blogdogs9462 Are you sure? Im nearly 100% sure you cant sleep until you reach the tower. Ive done the mission a few months ago and after your comment made so you must be lying
By far the scariest mission was the running away from infintely spawning virals and volatiles towards the end of the story in the slums. You can't do anything but run
that was so horrific, i hated it so much. Once i finished it, my boyfriend was really impressed because he was scared too although he plays a lot of scary games
Massive props to the devs who have supported this game for years. It was an amazingly full product to start and they’ve just put others to shame in how they’ve handled this game since launch.
When I first played dying light and the night time came I saw it as a challenge and went out to get as much stuff as possible, then I found out about volitiles too early and almost had a legit panic attack. I had racked up so many points that I was determined not to just give up and reset so I went on a full on Sprint through the city and made so many wrong turns it turned into a 36 min chase sequence. From that point on, all of my runs at night were directly to whatever I was searching for and planned out a route to the closest safehouse before I even left
@@R-SXX I agree to an extent, many of my gamer friends play many video games and know all the good stuff while another part of my gamer friends play 2k and Warzone/ Fortnite and such and don’t know how much better games exist because they are a different type a gamer
I only went out 2 times at night in this game. The 1st mandatory mission and a 2nd time to help my cousin for a herb hunting side quest. Apparently these herbs can only be obtained at night and he refused to go solo xD.
11:00 I did this mission first try and HELL was I confused , I just straight up booked it and ran straight to the tower , without even thinking nor looking twice . No hiding , no “evading pursuit” , no nothing , I legit just booked it and ran like hell while screaming internally . The scariest moment when I was doing that was , the realization that the distance to the tower is 400+ meters and when I mini-peaked my mini-map and just saw this tons amounts of Red Triangles coming at my way . I never dared to venture during the night after that mission , not until the “Bolter’s flesh” mission
I did the same man i become afraid of the night at sunset i always runing to closest safe house and call it a night didn't dare to go out in night except after many hours and good supplies
Dude, I didn't even realize that I had a torch with me until I went to sector 0 .I was basically blind on every dark places I visited. And the night was terrifying af without a torch.
The best moment that I remember was during the mission or side mission where you have climb and cross over a large highway bridge. By the time I finally made it to the other side it was already nightfall and the area was crawling with those night creatures. I ended up hiding in a bus near the end of the bridge while there was howling all around me - daybreak never seemed so sweet
I got something similar I was messing around try to figure out this safe zone and try to figure out how to activate it and didn't realise it was already night before it was to late i found a hole sat their all night with my ass clenched so hard it could bend steel.
I remember being freaked out during the mission when you and jade, is looking for Antizine, (I’m not sure i spelt it correctly) when you’re going through the class rooms and hear nothing but the ambiance and distant roars. It kinda gets a little unsettling.
Yeah same with the tower. Whenever I'm on the top floors, before night time you can hear the screams of the infected on the floors below. Right before night when watch starts beeping it sounds like total chaos as compared to outside.
One of the thing that I really like to play Dying Light like "I Am Legend". Scavenging for supplies in the day time and then scrambling for a safezone at exactly 7:59 pm was so nerve racking. Then, I go to a safezone in an apartment (with noone else, just myself) and just stand there with flashlight on. Just observing the world when it all quiets down around you give it such a chill and lived-in feeling. Makes me feel like a true survivor.
I'm gonna say it, Dying Light is one of the best video games ever. Truly a future classic, it already is. I always thought it's under rated but now i see people do appreciate it. Best zombie game imo too
I so miss the horror of night time in Dying Light! The heart pounding chases of the Volatiles and the turning of regular Zombies into Virals was just superb! Those were the good ol days in my opinion! DL2 has some good content, but nothing compares to the OG jump scares and constant looking around every corner while being silent.
When I first booted up the game, the characters were simply warning the player how volatiles are dangerous and never go in the night, and when I did go in the night in the airdrop mission, I screamed like hell running away from those volatiles.... It's just not only the Volatiles that makes the night scary, IT'S THE NIGHT ITSELF...Like I was afraid of the sun going down in the game because it really gets dark as shit and dangerous too...The title is just incredible for this game "Good Night Good Luck"
Probably because it’s pitch black , you literally can’t see anything when compared to Dying Light 2 , the night in DL2 is mehhh , tbh you don’t even need your flashlight (in DL2) if you’re out in the open because the “moon light” is bright enough for you to see
I loved the list, but theres a creepy as hell side quest that you probably missed. Idk how the quest starts, but you start hearing tapes of a kid and his detective Mike "his dog", while trying to find both of them. In the end you get to a room with tons of body parts along the dog with an open stomach on a table. I loved that you included the fanzone one, was waiting for it 😅.
I remember this mission. That's when I want to get the dog's necklace then suddenly I was attacked by the butcher and I shot him down with an assault rifle and that's where I close the case.
I dunno why this one wasn't on the list as it was way creepier than many others mentioned. The tapes start leading up to something horrifying and then yup, holy shit.
For me personally the creepiest location is the sewers. Especially the one leading to the antenna. The setting, the volatiles behind the door, and that unsettling music is just creepy as hell.
Shew, yes, just did that mission in my second playthrough years later and made the mistake of trying to open the door. AGAIN. Damn them for putting a prompt there … they just knew people like myself would look through the window and see what’s happening, but STILL try to open the door because there is a prompt that allows you to try lol. It’s the “no doorknob unturned, no container unlooted” mindset in open world games. It’s one of those “fck around and find out” situations, because if you didn’t know… You can walk on by that door, look in, never attempt to open it … and they will never chase after you, making the return back from the tower much more of a breeze. It’s the details like that which make this game pretty damn great, because there are people that have played this game that didn’t know you could turn the knob and have them chase after you.
The scariest part for me was anything related to volatiles and their more powerful type (Something like night hunter). I had never done any of the nest cleaning missions, because I was so scared to go outside at nights,
Hands down one of the best games i've ever played. Spent around 200 hours on it, fully completing it as well as the astonoshing DLC. The envoirment, the gameplay, the fighting mechanics, the leveling system, the graphics, storyline, characters... everything so GODAMM PERFECT. I'm so hyped for the new one right around the corner
I bought the platinum edition 4 days ago, except a silly little action game with zombie killing but got one of the best open world games ever, can't stop playing
Heh i spent at least 1500 hours on that game, on PC and PS4. Walk through couple times, I did everything what was possible. Including DLC. Great memories.
This is one of my favorite games from last-gen. I just started my 3rd playthrough a few days ago, this time on PC. What amazes me is that even after 5 years, the game still feels and looks absolutely amazing. If you took someone who never heard of Dying Light and told them that it was just released last week, they would absolutely believe it and also be amazed at how good it looks. CAN'T WAIT for Dying Light 2!!
The screamers are probably the scariest part. Was exploring old town my first time playing it and heard a child crying, after what happened the last time early on, where you can rescue a child, I wasnt expecting what happened. Got into the room and it was there. The extreme panic at seeing it, its effects and you how handle it made that whole section of the game horrifying. Stumbling across that was a powerful moment. It left such a large impact, I can still so very clearly see and remember what happened. That and ... two of the things that happen at the end of the base game. Hate horror, but Dying Light is an exception, and well worth at least a try.
It's weird to me that they didn't introduce the Screamers sooner considering one of the first few sidequests in Old Town involves one and they're also just on the map there in certain locations before you face one in the main story for the first time - unlike the Bombers and other variants, which are nowhere to be found until you do the main quest where they show up.
Those crying babies freaks me out, first encounter with it is when I was doing (I think) the legless spider, had to search the house and that f*cker appeared ,no cutscene or intro for it (new enemy usually have cutscene on its first encounter)
Same, lol i was scare to go out at night when i first played on my standard ps4, now I can’t wait to play the sequel on my series x, still my tv is 1080p though, so I’ll probably not gonna get that 4k60 smooth experience…..🥲
Watching this after playing through Dying Light 2 a couple times makes me really sad at how much more scary the first game was. Don't get me wrong, I loved the second game. It's really fun and has awesome parkour and a cool world to explore. But its jut really not a very scary game. Night time is almost more appetizing in Dying Light 2 cause it's barely more dangerous but has TONS more loot up for grabs. It's really too bad they didn't keep the "feel" of the first game. The whole "Good Night and Good Luck" aspect of the series.
Yeah, the game while great is just too warm and welcoming, the first game actually was dark and you weren't safe unless you were in a safe zone, but in the second game all you need to do is go onto the roof of the nearest building and you're safe. I enjoyed the second game too, but it's just different.
Because back in the days those developers knew what they doing with the game and didn't try to mix different genres and didn't have all this fancy kind shits like weapons flame swords plasma katanas flying brooms and hoverboards. It's so sad to behold what has happened to this franchise and how it went completely on the same route like ubisoft completely ruined Assassin's creed. Don't let all those shiny effects disctract you from the facts, how much this game has been degraded from it's original predecessor.
@@MatthewzonMatthewzon If Assassin's creed is the comparison here then you've got your logic all the way fucked up. Let's say DL1 is AC2. DL2 is like Brotherhood or Revelations. Not as good as the first, but to call it a bad game is just wrong. What exactly was gonna be scary about a game where you know pretty much everything to expect, and it's like 15-20 years after the events of the first game. Everybody has already seen shit. Game didn't have to be scary nor would it have ever been scary no matter what they did.
I recently played a terrifying mission in ‘the following’ where a couple asks you to investigate crying noises by a well. Climb down the well and through some caves and water and find out it was a screamer child whose father was feeding it. Pictures on the wall and the zombie kid crying in the corner really through me for a loop.
What I've come to love the most about this game is that the devs are still involved, even while developing the new game. The fact that they do these huge online events where you can earn more amazing loot if you complete the goals - like who does that?! I admit, once you get up in level and score some amazing loot, it's nice to go hunting at night. Give those volatiles a taste of their own medicine!
This is one of the best games I've ever played, and the dev team from concept to post launch support doesn't get an ounce of the credit it deserved/deserves for not only putting together a solid and content filled game, but providing a steady stream of content post launch, much of it free.
The mission where you investigate a kid and his dog, and a psychopath attacks you in a very small room screaming "Meat Meat Meat!" Scared the hell out of my friend and I, and he was probably the toughest enemy we had fought. 40 plus rounds from 2 combat shotguns to take him down.
Great video! Although you don't really need to sneak during the mission at night, its fairly easy to just run to the tower to be honest. It is indeed scary the first time you experience it, though.
This game did a very good job with setting the atmosphere of this game. I hated going out at night until after I got the grapple hook. Sometimes it still can get a little terrifying but the game in general has a good atmosphere. Even being out in daytime can feel creepy at times.
10:46 Fun fact: If you skip the cutscene, you will not get a pursuit. It helps quite a bit but all the explosions and random things that happen when you're getting back to the Tower will still trigger.
Just be aware that the combat is going to SUCK until you hit about level 10 and unlock better skills. Push through the first few hours, and the game is amazing
#1 on this list is so true! I remember cowering in the corner of a room, trying not to make a sound, too paralyzed to move. This game brings next-level tension. Absolutely cannot wait for Dying Light 2!
totally agreed, man, dying light gets quite creepy and the day-night tensions do get the best of you. i am currently at that collecting the bolter tissue at night mission and a few more missions that need to be completed at the night.
That 1st mission has to go down as one of the best of all time. The thing I love about those missions where you have to get inside is that it makes you cluster phobic and it's a different situation from being outside, they really nailed the first game even though the location needed some more life to it, I hope 2 is way way better
For me it has to be the side mission in where you find a crazy man in the basement eating some kids dog while listening to the recordings leading up to that encounter.
He really made #6 sound alot tamer than it was. It's implied the guy still had a small sense of self as he is heard talking when you go down and investigate. As it turns out the volatiles put him in a spot where a ray of sunlight would shine down on him, basically torturing him for hours while the sun was out and in the right position, and he can be heard moaning in pain and saying "it hurts, please make it stop" or something to that effect.
yeah that asian/middle-eastern touch was great, just added another layer to the dread of the game with an already awesome modern soundtrack, which still had roots in the 80s synth, just was amazing overall, Pawel did a great job
I have been planning to replay this game for months, one of my favorite games ever, I love the atmosphere and exploring in it so much. And I am a huge sucker for post apocalyptic settings.
No matter how many sequels this game gets. The Original and the following will always stay close to my heart. These 2 are dope badboys. Lastly, I miss you crane!
Me and my homie once spent a full night in DL, trying to find our way to a safehouse. It was so intense, hiding from all the volatiles, then making a run for it in the end. One of the most memorable things I've had with him. Other than me falling off radio towers quite often.
I don't think I've ever been by that house with that Harry Potter easter egg. There's so much in the game, it's nuts. I love the game, it's really fun.
Can't wait to make videos about Dying Light 2 when I'm in high school, I recently started playing the first Dying Light again and streaming that was amazing, this game is going to blow my mind if it's an improvement on the Dying Light formula and is what Techland promised us, fingers crossed!!
It's one of the best games ever 😍😍 I used to not be able to go out at night until I worked out the nerves to do it a couple of times and that's when I got addicted to going out at night and missing around with volatiles
Darn Rite, loved going out at night chasing them green florescent monsters to get that herb while the Volatiles chase after you. Also liked standing at the very edge of a base at night and throwing grenades to cause the volatiles to swarm it then take them all out. Very fun game, I found several secrets also, like going through ledges finding the mini watermelon head zombies.
Dying light was one of my favorite games. After 300 hours I still sometimes go back and play. But my favorite part was night. Once I got powerful enough, I did a continous pursuit from dusk till dawn to earn points on the nightmare difficulty. It was always so fun.
Both games have some really creepy and intense moments. From the storyline to the side missions and even stuff you find by just wandering around. I'd say the one that unsettled me the most in the first game, aside from the cannibal in Old Town, was the post office in The Following. As with most places, it looks pretty much abandoned. Until you got to find the Post Master's key. Of all the suicides by hanging that you find in this game, that one actually made me jump a little and just disturbed me.
I can’t remember the exact area, but the building with the cannibal who jump scares you after you finish searching the building was definetly the scariest moment during my first play through, and that’s saying a lot because this game is really scary
This game scared the absolute shit out of me during the night especially on a mandatory mission for you to basically experience the night creatures. Nighttime was pure nightmare fuel. 🙅🏻♂️
For me the scariest moment was at the end of the game (I think it was around there, but probably not), when you run from Rais , and volatiles and stuff chases you, and everyone shoots at you. My palms were sweating, I was panicking and it was definitely not fun. The most frustrating part (at least the first time I played the game) was climbing the highest tower in haran mission... I don't know if only I had problems but I climbed that tower for like 1 hour (probably not that much, but I found it hard and frustrating)
@@emeraldiguana7316 The antenna mission was awesome, it gave everyone who played it a tingly feeling in the feet, really set a good atmosphere while showing Crane's frustration
Dying light is easily my favourite zombie game. The game is so good and really fun in coop. There is a super cool UFO encounter in the following dlc , after collecting all the rocks , you get abducted by aliens plus the UFO is later found in the ocean.
the side quest in the "daycare" where the children tell about the noises in the basement and u go investigate is a zombie woman locked there who the wife of the guy taking care of the kids was both creepy as like horror movies cliches and our own stories we get in our heads when we are kids and Sad as the man couldn't put his wife out of her misery.
One of my favorite games of the last generation. First-person Melee Parkour Zombie game sounds like a mess on paper but every mechanic in this game works great.
The airdrop mission was extremely game changing for me. It was so crazy that ever since I’ve been heading to camps around 18:00. Don’t even want to risk it.
I remember when I played this game the first time, I went in not knowing how great this game actually was. It was my secondary choice. I had ran out of FPS games to play and thought of trying it out. But it turned out to be one of the best games I ever played.
The mission that was scariest to me and stuck to me the most was trying to get that sample of the green runner zombie in the middle of the night. We barely had any equipments and it was pitch black so getting back to the safe zone was hella hard and insanely scary
You meant bolters ??? I agree, their only strength was to attract attention of the volatiles as volatiles always creeped me out ever since the game existed
I had easy time doing that part since the bolter I killed was near a building and uv light post and I have the perk that makes me loot zombies faster so as soon as I killed it ,loot it fast, grappling hook to the building and run to the nearest safe house lol
@@syko2530 I was dreading doing this mission at night and was putting it off for a while doing side quests. Then I saw that bolter grounds were near one safe house, so I did that pretty easily as well. I hate running at night lol its too intense for me.
I've put days and days into dying light and the quarantine zones always creeped and freaked me out like I've faced every enemy in the game and been overpowered for so long but those quarantine zones have just this creepy energy to them. I always stay away unless it's stuffed turtle ofc.
Playing this game for the first time is one the most intense and heart racing experiences. Even now, over 100 hours later the game still terrifies me at night time.
Theres the part in the last mission when you're running through the sewers and theres a bunch of volatiles chasing you, its not creepy but damn it gets your heart pounding
This was a refreshing trip down memory lane. I especially thought the psychotic maniac was off-putting, I was pretty much desensitized to zombies and night-time by the time I found that one. What creeped me out the most is that zombies act very primal, like an insect really. This guy CHOSE to do that. That is far scarier than any zombie.
I totally agree with this list and it’s an excellent video:) and another really scary part in the game is the cannibal mission in the old town orphanage.
I couldnt stand Zombie games with a passion. After years of sticking with this i decided to test myself and looked up a cheap high rated Zombie game, that game was of course Dying Light. I swear playing it gave me an out of body experience. For the weeks playing it i felt it changed my life and made me a better person im not kidding you. It is easily in my top 3 games i have ever played, ok Horizon, Hollow Knight, GOT.....ok easily top 5 haha and i went on to totally adore Zombie games and movies. I cant wait to repay the makers of the game by buying their game full price this time around, although i am very worried that lots of OG devs of the first game no longer work at the company. They also have a history of abuse and to top it off got rid of the guy who made the original Dying Light soundtrack! That decision alone has the warning bells ringing in my ears.
On the way to the broadcast tower you go through a tunnel network, my friend and I were playing co-op when we went into that mission. Knowing about the volatile easter egg, we decided to check it out and as we were doing that, we didn't realize that a whole bunch of volatiles had spawned behind us. The screaming microphones, dropping UV lights and general lack of coordination managed to barely get us out of that tunnel. All said, it is one of the memorable moments Dying Light has given us over the past 6 years and continues to even today. I would like to thank the devs for all the awesome effort they put into DL1 and my preorder and adrenaline is ready for DL2. Let's go dropkick some undead.

I now just realize how good Dying light is.
They released a finished complete game. The expansions are real expensions, as good as a full game.
Not to mention the game is still given small DLCs and Events to this day. Gotta buy that Savvy Gamer bundle one day.
I lost interest shortly after the beginning. Just seemed like fetch quest after fetch quest. I'm sure I'll return to it at some point
you should go play it. It's better than most new gams today.
Honestly, I think The Following DLC is actually *better* than the base game
@@nickgarcia1292 That's normal. Every great game usually has a boring introduction. Skyrim with the execution scene. Witcher 3 with White Orchard. Keep playing and you'll see why this game is beloved by many.
I remember the first time I faced the night in this game without really knowing what Dying Light was like.
Honestly, it was one of the most terrifying experiences in games for me, I think only Alien: Isolation could match it.
Edit: much love from Brazil!
For me it was the second night
The first one, you're close enough to the tower that its pretty quick and easy. But the second one, I was deep, away from all claimed safehouses. Literally took the whole night trying to get to one, ended up not making it and just barely managed to survive the night
I still remember shooting the volatile as it ran at me, but just before it reached me, the sun came up, and I legitimately felt true relief when the volatile started burning and running away
Bruh i shit my pants in that moment
im still avoiding the night like a pelage, now later on i might not but for now im doing it wtih Perouse, because i do not like it! and the voltiles as bad ass as they are whne seeing em as a veiwer its scarry as fuck when playing.
Dude, that first mission with the Volatile chase... I never lost the Volatile. It chased me the entire fucking time until I made it to the tower. The only time I was so scared I nearly passed out in a game. It make me light headed
@Patrick Shepherd the following wasnt that much of a horrific experience in my regards. i always had close to 40 bandages, so i was mostly reckless since i had backup
I remember I used to be terrified of this game, now with 3.5k hours, the only real threat I face is Crane not wanting to grab ledges.
I just got the grapple, and trying to grab onto high ledges is suicide because crane doesn’t grab anything even when you press the button, unless the grapple is attached to something more short ranged. Maybe I’mJust not used to the grapple yet. It can be useful but still.
😂😂😂😂😂 bro crane annoys the shut outta me, like bestie GRAB THE LEDGE
3500 hours??
@LongJohn Silver right? What’s the fucking point if the mf doesn’t grab the damn ledge?
Not the Ledges please
I molded for hours just for Crane to grap one of them
Clocked in over 400 hours in the first one. Every now and then I’ll revisit it. It is my favorite game of all time.
My best friend and I picked the Platinum edition up last week...were at 80 hours already >.> lol
Consider Deus Ex 1 for the scenario, replayability and small details here and there, it's top notch

The one that really got to me was the mission “Chasing Past” where you’re following clues from a tape recorder from a kid who ends up becoming mute due to a traumatic experience and his buddy Mike. Mike ends up being a dog and the traumatic experience is the kid goes down to the basement and sees dismembered bodies butchered for cooking and the dog as well. Turns out it was a cannibal that lived in the apartments and while you find this out, the cannibal comes out and attacks you screaming “MEAT, MEAT.” Threw me all off
Same here 😁
Umm, wtf
@@engihere5434 this is an actual thing you know
This mission creeped the shit out of me
Dude I was thinking about that mission as well man creepy asf because you have the white and black atmosphere
The first night was probably one of the most memorable and scary moments I can recall from this game. Eventually i got pretty used to it and found it far less scary and stressful, but hopefully Dying Light 2 can pull something even better off
Dying Light had the best campaign I’ve ever seen out of a game.
@@jakematic1618 Dying Light had an incredibly mediocre campaign though. Rais is literally just a copy of the villain from Far Cry 3 and I can think of several games that have much more engaging stories. That’s just me though.
@@Y33tastic I agree with the far cry copy, which is still hilarious to me as I found that out when I first played the game. 😂
@@Y33tastic Yes story was average but gameplay was too much fun. Also the open world was small but very rich. My only problem was that they should have made random encounters purely random like in Fallout instead of marking it on map. Also mission did not have much variety.

I don’t care who you are, those Hunter zombies at night that chase you down are nightmare fuel.
you mean the volatile or the player controlled hunter?
@@blax140 the volatile! Yeah those! I couldn’t remember the names, my bad!

This game had the best community I've ever experienced. So many nice players jumped into my game and hooked me up with high level weapons and just left or hung out for a while
This is so true ... i first was confused why people joined my story game and stayed although i was really slow thinking and acting at some times but they still stayed and helped me out every single time and i was confused because i thought they wanted something because most of the gaming community is selfish and doesnt help if they dont get something in exchange .... really nice community in dying light ... refreshing

What are your thoughts on the story? Like many others I think that was worst part of the game. I'll say though, they did improve it with the Following DLC
@@bradcampbell8101 story is definitely debatable but not as super bad as some critics would like u to believe and yes they really redeemed themselves in that domain with the Following DLC
@@bradcampbell8101 Honestly Kyle Crane was super relatable, and I loved the characters so it was easy for me to get invested in the story! :)
Roger Craig Smith is an amazing voice actor, and the pain and sadness in his voice made the main deaths hit much harder.
@@bradcampbell8101 I liked the characters more than I liked the story, they all were very multifaceted with different experiences shaping who they are now, but the story was mainly a means to introduce new zombie types and locations, i did like how the perspective on the government begins to shift though, from being a Leon Kennedy sent to complete the mission to becoming the Hero of the people standing up as their protector
@@matthewhamilton2913 Absolutely do love that transition in the story and framing of Kyle and the government!
I personally really enjoyed the way Crane would act when he had to debt collector for Rais. His obvious disgust at the situation and trying to be as nice as possible while also doing what needed to be done was very humanizing.
When I first bought this game, I actually quit playing it because it freaked me out too much at night with headphones on. I eventually got into it a few years later and put like 100 hours in. Great game.
I was really enjoying Dying Light until the first night mission - couldn't get through it and never played it since. I think Dying Light 2 looks amazing but just don't think I can handle it!

What makes the first night even more unsettling is that you must go back all the way to the tower. Time progression is stopped and while your usual hideouts have UV-lights you're not allowed to sleep there
And also, first time playing you aren't even aware of the effects of UV light on volatiles.
is that a nightmare thing? im playing for the first time on normal difficulty and i slept on a nearby safe zone
@@blogdogs9462 not that I know of. Maybe it got changed or I remembered it wrong (haven't played in years). I ran to a nearby hideout and couldn't sleep, but maybe it wasn't fully unlocked (some hideouts only unlock the sleeping bag after a certain mission). The UV lights were on and the Volatiles couldn't find me there, but with time being frozen I couldn't just stand in the light until sunrise
@@blogdogs9462 Are you sure? Im nearly 100% sure you cant sleep until you reach the tower. Ive done the mission a few months ago and after your comment made so you must be lying
@@Handlemmm im not lying bro, but maybe it was a bug or someting
By far the scariest mission was the running away from infintely spawning virals and volatiles towards the end of the story in the slums. You can't do anything but run
I still remember the soundtrack from that mission
yeah that was sick
I died a lot of times on that mission LOL. Everytime, i used to get stuck and forget to dodge certain pipes or remember to climb above at some parts.
I legit almost fainted there lol it was legit so scary
that was so horrific, i hated it so much. Once i finished it, my boyfriend was really impressed because he was scared too although he plays a lot of scary games
Massive props to the devs who have supported this game for years. It was an amazingly full product to start and they’ve just put others to shame in how they’ve handled this game since launch.
When I first played dying light and the night time came I saw it as a challenge and went out to get as much stuff as possible, then I found out about volitiles too early and almost had a legit panic attack. I had racked up so many points that I was determined not to just give up and reset so I went on a full on Sprint through the city and made so many wrong turns it turned into a 36 min chase sequence. From that point on, all of my runs at night were directly to whatever I was searching for and planned out a route to the closest safehouse before I even left
Lol tha volatiles r easy to lose inna chase like cops on gta4.
@@yOGlo I found that out later on but that first time was an oh shit moment
Dying Light is so underrated, it's still being updated even though the sequel is nearly here!

I only went out 2 times at night in this game. The 1st mandatory mission and a 2nd time to help my cousin for a herb hunting side quest. Apparently these herbs can only be obtained at night and he refused to go solo xD.
Lmfao I don't blame him
I played the whole game without going out at night a 2nd time after the mandatory mission. It was so terrifying xD
Best way to deal with night missions is Zaid's Flares.
@@NeroLordofChaos that and camouflage
I never did that mission an missed a trophy because of it
11:00 I did this mission first try and HELL was I confused , I just straight up booked it and ran straight to the tower , without even thinking nor looking twice . No hiding , no “evading pursuit” , no nothing , I legit just booked it and ran like hell while screaming internally . The scariest moment when I was doing that was , the realization that the distance to the tower is 400+ meters and when I mini-peaked my mini-map and just saw this tons amounts of Red Triangles coming at my way . I never dared to venture during the night after that mission , not until the “Bolter’s flesh” mission
Same
I did the same man i become afraid of the night at sunset i always runing to closest safe house and call it a night didn't dare to go out in night except after many hours and good supplies
Dude, I didn't even realize that I had a torch with me until I went to sector 0 .I was basically blind on every dark places I visited. And the night was terrifying af without a torch.
😅🤣
The best moment that I remember was during the mission or side mission where you have climb and cross over a large highway bridge. By the time I finally made it to the other side it was already nightfall and the area was crawling with those night creatures. I ended up hiding in a bus near the end of the bridge while there was howling all around me - daybreak never seemed so sweet
I got something similar I was messing around try to figure out this safe zone and try to figure out how to activate it and didn't realise it was already night before it was to late i found a hole sat their all night with my ass clenched so hard it could bend steel.
I remember being freaked out during the mission when you and jade, is looking for Antizine, (I’m not sure i spelt it correctly) when you’re going through the class rooms and hear nothing but the ambiance and distant roars. It kinda gets a little unsettling.
Yeah, was that the school mission that also has Rais' men?
@@Arch3an yeah, I failed to mention it was the school area.
@@jaylynturner9027 Yeah, not only did you have to worry about them, there was also zombies everywhere.
@@Arch3an yeah I kinda rushed through it ngl, I did loot a lot but once jade took the explosives I hauled ass.
Yeah same with the tower. Whenever I'm on the top floors, before night time you can hear the screams of the infected on the floors below. Right before night when watch starts beeping it sounds like total chaos as compared to outside.
One of the thing that I really like to play Dying Light like "I Am Legend". Scavenging for supplies in the day time and then scrambling for a safezone at exactly 7:59 pm was so nerve racking. Then, I go to a safezone in an apartment (with noone else, just myself) and just stand there with flashlight on. Just observing the world when it all quiets down around you give it such a chill and lived-in feeling. Makes me feel like a true survivor.
I'm gonna say it, Dying Light is one of the best video games ever. Truly a future classic, it already is. I always thought it's under rated but now i see people do appreciate it. Best zombie game imo too
What do you think of State of Decay 2 then?

I so miss the horror of night time in Dying Light! The heart pounding chases of the Volatiles and the turning of regular Zombies into Virals was just superb! Those were the good ol days in my opinion! DL2 has some good content, but nothing compares to the OG jump scares and constant looking around every corner while being silent.
When I first booted up the game, the characters were simply warning the player how volatiles are dangerous and never go in the night, and when I did go in the night in the airdrop mission, I screamed like hell running away from those volatiles.... It's just not only the Volatiles that makes the night scary, IT'S THE NIGHT ITSELF...Like I was afraid of the sun going down in the game because it really gets dark as shit and dangerous too...The title is just incredible for this game "Good Night Good Luck"
Yh like there's no light from tha moon n sht it gets Hella dark
@@yOGlo when you're in the open and the sky is clear the moon we have moon light
Tbh I remember how scared I was telling my character ain't no time to be catching your breath bro run
Probably because it’s pitch black , you literally can’t see anything when compared to Dying Light 2 , the night in DL2 is mehhh , tbh you don’t even need your flashlight (in DL2) if you’re out in the open because the “moon light” is bright enough for you to see
I loved the list, but theres a creepy as hell side quest that you probably missed.
Idk how the quest starts, but you start hearing tapes of a kid and his detective Mike "his dog", while trying to find both of them. In the end you get to a room with tons of body parts along the dog with an open stomach on a table.
I loved that you included the fanzone one, was waiting for it 😅.
I remember this mission. That's when I want to get the dog's necklace then suddenly I was attacked by the butcher and I shot him down with an assault rifle and that's where I close the case.
Bro I forgot all about this mission, I remember when I first played it a couple years back it was creepy asf, definitely should be on here.
I dunno why this one wasn't on the list as it was way creepier than many others mentioned. The tapes start leading up to something horrifying and then yup, holy shit.
@@TombstoneActual42 Jake either forgot or just didnt play it. I got dying light in 2018 and i didnt know the harry potter easter egg
Yes. This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this video. I can't believe it didn't make the list.
For me personally the creepiest location is the sewers. Especially the one leading to the antenna. The setting, the volatiles behind the door, and that unsettling music is just creepy as hell.
Shew, yes, just did that mission in my second playthrough years later and made the mistake of trying to open the door. AGAIN.
Damn them for putting a prompt there … they just knew people like myself would look through the window and see what’s happening, but STILL try to open the door because there is a prompt that allows you to try lol. It’s the “no doorknob unturned, no container unlooted” mindset in open world games.
It’s one of those “fck around and find out” situations, because if you didn’t know…
You can walk on by that door, look in, never attempt to open it … and they will never chase after you, making the return back from the tower much more of a breeze.
It’s the details like that which make this game pretty damn great, because there are people that have played this game that didn’t know you could turn the knob and have them chase after you.
The scariest part for me was anything related to volatiles and their more powerful type (Something like night hunter). I had never done any of the nest cleaning missions, because I was so scared to go outside at nights,
Night hunter is sacriest because it's player
Lol
Bro it's a fukn game fym 😒

Lobaa... you shouldn't have
@@captinelf2745 ugh…Demônio
This is one of my favorite games from last-gen. I just started my 3rd playthrough a few days ago, this time on PC. What amazes me is that even after 5 years, the game still feels and looks absolutely amazing. If you took someone who never heard of Dying Light and told them that it was just released last week, they would absolutely believe it and also be amazed at how good it looks. CAN'T WAIT for Dying Light 2!!
The school mission is so unnerving, it gives me chill every time
The screamers are probably the scariest part. Was exploring old town my first time playing it and heard a child crying, after what happened the last time early on, where you can rescue a child, I wasnt expecting what happened.
Got into the room and it was there. The extreme panic at seeing it, its effects and you how handle it made that whole section of the game horrifying. Stumbling across that was a powerful moment. It left such a large impact, I can still so very clearly see and remember what happened.
That and ... two of the things that happen at the end of the base game.
Hate horror, but Dying Light is an exception, and well worth at least a try.
It's weird to me that they didn't introduce the Screamers sooner considering one of the first few sidequests in Old Town involves one and they're also just on the map there in certain locations before you face one in the main story for the first time - unlike the Bombers and other variants, which are nowhere to be found until you do the main quest where they show up.
@@Briarhoes Thats a really good point.
Those crying babies freaks me out, first encounter with it is when I was doing (I think) the legless spider, had to search the house and that f*cker appeared ,no cutscene or intro for it (new enemy usually have cutscene on its first encounter)
This game was easily the most pleasant surprise for me on the PS4.
Agreed i bought ps4 and my first game was dying light
Same, lol i was scare to go out at night when i first played on my standard ps4, now I can’t wait to play the sequel on my series x, still my tv is 1080p though, so I’ll probably not gonna get that 4k60 smooth experience…..🥲
After tales of arise, I might play this. Haven’t played it yet and i’m not really sure how this dodged my radar.
Watching this after playing through Dying Light 2 a couple times makes me really sad at how much more scary the first game was. Don't get me wrong, I loved the second game. It's really fun and has awesome parkour and a cool world to explore. But its jut really not a very scary game. Night time is almost more appetizing in Dying Light 2 cause it's barely more dangerous but has TONS more loot up for grabs. It's really too bad they didn't keep the "feel" of the first game. The whole "Good Night and Good Luck" aspect of the series.
I agree
Yeah, the game while great is just too warm and welcoming, the first game actually was dark and you weren't safe unless you were in a safe zone, but in the second game all you need to do is go onto the roof of the nearest building and you're safe. I enjoyed the second game too, but it's just different.
I think you described the two games perfectly without just saying dying light 2 sucks beacuse dying light one exists.
Because back in the days those developers knew what they doing with the game and didn't try to mix different genres and didn't have all this fancy kind shits like weapons flame swords plasma katanas flying brooms and hoverboards. It's so sad to behold what has happened to this franchise and how it went completely on the same route like ubisoft completely ruined Assassin's creed. Don't let all those shiny effects disctract you from the facts, how much this game has been degraded from it's original predecessor.
@@MatthewzonMatthewzon If Assassin's creed is the comparison here then you've got your logic all the way fucked up. Let's say DL1 is AC2. DL2 is like Brotherhood or Revelations. Not as good as the first, but to call it a bad game is just wrong. What exactly was gonna be scary about a game where you know pretty much everything to expect, and it's like 15-20 years after the events of the first game. Everybody has already seen shit. Game didn't have to be scary nor would it have ever been scary no matter what they did.
I recently played a terrifying mission in ‘the following’ where a couple asks you to investigate crying noises by a well. Climb down the well and through some caves and water and find out it was a screamer child whose father was feeding it. Pictures on the wall and the zombie kid crying in the corner really through me for a loop.
Video
Eh eh eh
Can't wait for dying light 2!!
dying light 2 when
Bruh how only 47 likes wtf
How does he have level 9 agility but 2 legend?
What I've come to love the most about this game is that the devs are still involved, even while developing the new game. The fact that they do these huge online events where you can earn more amazing loot if you complete the goals - like who does that?! I admit, once you get up in level and score some amazing loot, it's nice to go hunting at night. Give those volatiles a taste of their own medicine!
This is one of the best games I've ever played, and the dev team from concept to post launch support doesn't get an ounce of the credit it deserved/deserves for not only putting together a solid and content filled game, but providing a steady stream of content post launch, much of it free.
The mission where you investigate a kid and his dog, and a psychopath attacks you in a very small room screaming "Meat Meat Meat!" Scared the hell out of my friend and I, and he was probably the toughest enemy we had fought. 40 plus rounds from 2 combat shotguns to take him down.
that mission spooked the hell out of me ,also something about cannibals just make me tremble with fear
Yeaaaa that mission was gold
It's called chasing past
@@thetacticalshield5211 You should play Metro Exodus then. There is a whole bunker filled with cannibals chasing you and wanting to eat you :D
Great video! Although you don't really need to sneak during the mission at night, its fairly easy to just run to the tower to be honest. It is indeed scary the first time you experience it, though.
This game did a very good job with setting the atmosphere of this game. I hated going out at night until after I got the grapple hook. Sometimes it still can get a little terrifying but the game in general has a good atmosphere. Even being out in daytime can feel creepy at times.
I’m gonna be honest, the first ever mission where you go down to floor 13 in the tower terrified me, it set an absolutely desolate atmosphere
10:46 Fun fact: If you skip the cutscene, you will not get a pursuit. It helps quite a bit but all the explosions and random things that happen when you're getting back to the Tower will still trigger.
Fun fact. Fun fact is used pointlessly
Nice. I think this actually pushed me over the edge in giving the game a shot!
Guess I'll buy it tonight!
It's super fun, it's insanely fun with friends if you have any who can play it as well, but it's not nearly as scary with friends as it is solo.
You absolutely will not regret it, although it does go on sale often, if you want to wait for that.
I would also say it has a bit of a slow ramp up. Once you’ve unlocked a few abilities and get used to the free running it’s awesome
Just be aware that the combat is going to SUCK until you hit about level 10 and unlock better skills. Push through the first few hours, and the game is amazing
It’s like $15 on Xbox store so it’s a good buy for that price
#1 on this list is so true! I remember cowering in the corner of a room, trying not to make a sound, too paralyzed to move. This game brings next-level tension. Absolutely cannot wait for Dying Light 2!
totally agreed, man, dying light gets quite creepy and the day-night tensions do get the best of you. i am currently at that collecting the bolter tissue at night mission and a few more missions that need to be completed at the night.
That 1st mission has to go down as one of the best of all time. The thing I love about those missions where you have to get inside is that it makes you cluster phobic and it's a different situation from being outside, they really nailed the first game even though the location needed some more life to it, I hope 2 is way way better
For me it has to be the side mission in where you find a crazy man in the basement eating some kids dog while listening to the recordings leading up to that encounter.
true i thought about that one too.
He really made #6 sound alot tamer than it was. It's implied the guy still had a small sense of self as he is heard talking when you go down and investigate. As it turns out the volatiles put him in a spot where a ray of sunlight would shine down on him, basically torturing him for hours while the sun was out and in the right position, and he can be heard moaning in pain and saying "it hurts, please make it stop" or something to that effect.
@@TM-nh3zqTo turn him into the infected

Dying light was one of my favorite games. After 300 hours I still sometimes go back and play. But my favorite part was night. Once I got powerful enough, I did a continous pursuit from dusk till dawn to earn points on the nightmare difficulty. It was always so fun.
Both games have some really creepy and intense moments. From the storyline to the side missions and even stuff you find by just wandering around. I'd say the one that unsettled me the most in the first game, aside from the cannibal in Old Town, was the post office in The Following. As with most places, it looks pretty much abandoned. Until you got to find the Post Master's key. Of all the suicides by hanging that you find in this game, that one actually made me jump a little and just disturbed me.
Had a great time with this game, so cool that you can play the story co-op. Hyped for DL2!
I can’t remember the exact area, but the building with the cannibal who jump scares you after you finish searching the building was definetly the scariest moment during my first play through, and that’s saying a lot because this game is really scary
brings back memories. this was one of the best games of the last 10 years. it is still fun to play now.
One of the best games I ever played. Can't wait for the next one.
This game scared the absolute shit out of me during the night especially on a mandatory mission for you to basically experience the night creatures.
Nighttime was pure nightmare fuel. 🙅🏻♂️
For me the scariest moment was at the end of the game (I think it was around there, but probably not), when you run from Rais , and volatiles and stuff chases you, and everyone shoots at you. My palms were sweating, I was panicking and it was definitely not fun. The most frustrating part (at least the first time I played the game) was climbing the highest tower in haran mission... I don't know if only I had problems but I climbed that tower for like 1 hour (probably not that much, but I found it hard and frustrating)
The antenna mission?
@@emeraldiguana7316 The antenna mission was awesome, it gave everyone who played it a tingly feeling in the feet, really set a good atmosphere while showing Crane's frustration
@@dasleepyfox9299 yea, i think i was asking if he was talking about the antenna
Dying light is easily my favourite zombie game. The game is so good and really fun in coop. There is a super cool UFO encounter in the following dlc , after collecting all the rocks , you get abducted by aliens plus the UFO is later found in the ocean.
the side quest in the "daycare" where the children tell about the noises in the basement and u go investigate is a zombie woman locked there who the wife of the guy taking care of the kids was both creepy as like horror movies cliches and our own stories we get in our heads when we are kids and Sad as the man couldn't put his wife out of her misery.
Was searching for this comment. I was playing this at night and it made it even more scarier
Jesus, the first time I saw one of those screamers, I almost had a heart attack.
They are bizarre.
One of my favorite games of the last generation. First-person Melee Parkour Zombie game sounds like a mess on paper but every mechanic in this game works great.
Dying Light is the best zombie game ever made and one of the best games all of time. The atmosphere, gameplay and features is unmatched.
Dying light and rdr2 fan? If so I'm not any different
@@TheMilkMan4206Yep, RDR II & Dying Light are in my 🐐 list of games
The airdrop mission was extremely game changing for me. It was so crazy that ever since I’ve been heading to camps around 18:00. Don’t even want to risk it.
I remember when I played this game the first time, I went in not knowing how great this game actually was. It was my secondary choice. I had ran out of FPS games to play and thought of trying it out. But it turned out to be one of the best games I ever played.
I've clocked 395 hours of Dying Light, it's been a fun game, and looking forward to what Dying Light 2 brings.
I find the most stressful missions to be the one getting back to the tower and the one with the chase in the endgame of the main game.
The one blocked tunnel always gave me goosebumps even though it wasn’t that hard but there was just something about it
I literally cried when Jade turned into a zombie.
Also Rahim
I was playing with my friend and i rage quit when this happened, couldn't play for a day. It was all Crane's fault i was sad af
Cringe
Been playing Dying Light for the last month, definitely the creepiest side mission is finding out where the dog went.
Even fully upgraded with the highest skill the night hunter still managed to scare me. 😨
I'm loving the tsunami of Dying Light coverage, the atmosphere of the game is really just on point
Gameranx does not know the difference between creepy, disturbing, scary, morbid, terrifying and unsettling.
The mission that was scariest to me and stuck to me the most was trying to get that sample of the green runner zombie in the middle of the night. We barely had any equipments and it was pitch black so getting back to the safe zone was hella hard and insanely scary
You meant bolters ???
I agree, their only strength was to attract attention of the volatiles as volatiles always creeped me out ever since the game existed
@@shadowknight9395 yes it was exactly that mission with the bolters. After that u had to get chased by a volatile just for the sake of the mission 💀
I had easy time doing that part since the bolter I killed was near a building and uv light post and I have the perk that makes me loot zombies faster so as soon as I killed it ,loot it fast, grappling hook to the building and run to the nearest safe house lol
i got lucky because a bolter was right next to a safe zone
@@syko2530 I was dreading doing this mission at night and was putting it off for a while doing side quests. Then I saw that bolter grounds were near one safe house, so I did that pretty easily as well. I hate running at night lol its too intense for me.
Been playing for 5 years now and most of it I've gotten used to... But that school man. Gets me everytime
I've put days and days into dying light and the quarantine zones always creeped and freaked me out like I've faced every enemy in the game and been overpowered for so long but those quarantine zones have just this creepy energy to them. I always stay away unless it's stuffed turtle ofc.
So pumped for the second game, I loved this game so much
Awesome guys I’m actually playing through dying light atm so this is perfect👌
The guy with the zombie mamma watching tv still cracks me up😂
Playing this game for the first time is one the most intense and heart racing experiences.
Even now, over 100 hours later the game still terrifies me at night time.
Absolutely, I started 2 weeks ago, the feeling and the sense of fear is insane.
Not some stupid zombie game where u just bash them for fun.
Theres the part in the last mission when you're running through the sewers and theres a bunch of volatiles chasing you, its not creepy but damn it gets your heart pounding
Annoying as hell too, since when they hit you (and they will) it cancels your sprint.
@@ivvek226 If you have the skill to look behind u while running its easy since u can just UV them while running
@@wind3692 Lmao I hadn't figured that out by the time of playing the final mission so I had to suffer through it.
This was a refreshing trip down memory lane. I especially thought the psychotic maniac was off-putting, I was pretty much desensitized to zombies and night-time by the time I found that one. What creeped me out the most is that zombies act very primal, like an insect really. This guy CHOSE to do that. That is far scarier than any zombie.
I totally agree with this list and it’s an excellent video:) and another really scary part in the game is the cannibal mission in the old town orphanage.
I couldnt stand Zombie games with a passion. After years of sticking with this i decided to test myself and looked up a cheap high rated Zombie game, that game was of course Dying Light. I swear playing it gave me an out of body experience. For the weeks playing it i felt it changed my life and made me a better person im not kidding you.
It is easily in my top 3 games i have ever played, ok Horizon, Hollow Knight, GOT.....ok easily top 5 haha and i went on to totally adore Zombie games and movies.
I cant wait to repay the makers of the game by buying their game full price this time around, although i am very worried that lots of OG devs of the first game no longer work at the company. They also have a history of abuse and to top it off got rid of the guy who made the original Dying Light soundtrack! That decision alone has the warning bells ringing in my ears.
On the way to the broadcast tower you go through a tunnel network, my friend and I were playing co-op when we went into that mission. Knowing about the volatile easter egg, we decided to check it out and as we were doing that, we didn't realize that a whole bunch of volatiles had spawned behind us.
The screaming microphones, dropping UV lights and general lack of coordination managed to barely get us out of that tunnel.
All said, it is one of the memorable moments Dying Light has given us over the past 6 years and continues to even today.
I would like to thank the devs for all the awesome effort they put into DL1 and my preorder and adrenaline is ready for DL2.
Let's go dropkick some undead.
December 7th, Techland better not screw up Dying Light 2.
The freakiest thing about Dying light is those hitboxes when fighting the bigger zombies
The EXPLOSIONS!!, THEY GET YOU EVERY TIME!
